Rose Crush

It's official...I'm addicted to all things rose.  At first it was a few rose fragrance products here and there...then, it was rose gold (EVERYTHING) and then, it was rose hued clothing...I'm in deep...so, I figured I'd share all things rose that I love.

Beauty: 
I feel like anyone can rock the rose scent.  It's a nice light feminine fragrance that nothing can compare with.  I use everything from a body oil and rose water (I read somewhere that there is no need to spend big bucks on rose water...it's all the same:) to my new Weleda facial products I've been trying out and LOVE!  I found a trial set to test it out for only $14.99, but I'm going to have to invest in the actual full product because I really love it...so, I'm going to go for the cleansing milk (I keep hearing that is the way to wash your face now) and the Weleda Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Lotion.
*Fun DIY I got from the Martha Stewart show: Use roses in hot water for steaming your face.  This is good for sensitive skin...but, I think anyone can do it...I know I will:) 

Rose Gold:
Can we just say genius?  This metal just looks amazing on anyone with tanned skin!  I'm getting my second wedding ring this way and can't way...it will take wearing my wedding ring everyday to a whole other level:)  I love how Rachel Roy says that mixing metals shows you are daring...makes me feel even more empowered to have it be my wedding ring and mix it with other jewelry I want to wear. 
Even though I really do pile on the rose gold...it's just worth it!  But, it all started with my rose gold watch...I never even wore watches and I had to have the Michael Kors watch and wear it as a bracelet basically:)  It's so funny, because now every brand/designer has a rose gold watch offered...and, now Michael Kors has incorporated the rose gold metal into other jewelry options  like rings and bracelets.  LOVE!

The clothes:
Sadly, my blazer is from H&M last year...but, in the March 2012 issue of Bazaar on page 72, you can find an assortment of rose tinted items.  Stylists tip from Bazaar: "Head-to-toe hues are best in streamlined silhouettes."

I just love how they styled this rose blouse with black pants and a black and animal print jacket...great styling inspiration:

Here are some rose items to check out:

*ASOS Skinny Jeans in Soft Rose, $63

*Gryphon Goa Pullover, $390 

*Gap Slim Dolman Top, $25

*West Coast Wardrobe Signature Blouse in Dusty Rose, $60

How are you be rocking rose in your life?

DIY idea for how to store your accessories from Martha Stewart

This is the smartest DIY idea from Martha ever!  I can't wait to take this to organize my unorganized jewelry that is just everywhere right now:)  No need to spend a lot of money!  I'll keep searching for an available video to post here...until then, here is the link.

Here are some of the tips provided on the website as well:

Cabinet hardware isn't just for cabinets: A new knob or pull can bring new life to all kinds of existing furniture and accessories around your home.

Kevin Sharkey, executive editorial director of decorating, shares ways to embellish items in your home with new hardware:

• Dress up a bureau by removing the existing knobs and adding more contemporary new ones.
• Add stylish knobs to decorative boxes as an ornamental detail.
• Finial pulls can function as towel hangers when added to the edge of a counter or wall.
• New knobs added along the sides of a mirror frame give you a handy new spots to hang handbags or scarves.
• Turn a small cabinet into a jewelry organizer with knobs for hanging necklaces and pull-mounted boxes to serve as drawers for your accessories.

The newest designer at Payless: Silvia Tcherassi

I am in LOVE with this bag!!!!!!!!!!!!  My heart is rushing because of this bag:)

I was watching Martha Stewart for her Mother's Day show and fell in LOVE with the new designer for Payless' handbag and jewelry line.  I feel like her bags would look AMAZING with Tory Burch or Michael Kor's clothes...dont' you agree?  I wish I could afford something like this, but they are over $1,000 so, take tips from the Martha Stewart segment from last week on how to make your version at home.

I have a bag from Korea that I'm going to try and doing something like this with...but, I am also going to keep a look out thrift stores for a fab bucket bag like this.  BTW these are all handmade in Colombia...it takes 20 days to design!

Here are the shoes that will be at Payless!  I think the heels are too high for my lifestyle right now...but, the ballet flats are a MUST!

Home Must-Have: Mirrored Accents

Since I am now home with my daughter during the day I now watch shows like Martha Stewart and Nate Berkus (might I add, women LOVE him!!:) and I've become addicted to home decor on another level:)  I also LOVE to read online magazine Lonny Mag and Rue Magazine which inspire me even more...even bloggers like The Glamourai, B Jones Style, Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere and Love Maegan share pictures and DIY's from their home that I also look to get help from.  Finally, catalogs like West Elm, Jonathan Adler and Pottery Barn also make me so excited to get the mail.

I say all of this to share that the home trend that Nate Berkus shared that I have to have is the mirrored tray (which I'm showing here from Target for only $17.99). To be honest...I want all five of them, which you can find out here.  But, I am just really digging all things mirror in my house right now.  And the fun thing is you can add it to your home regardless of the style of your decor, genius!

The new must-have watch from Sweedan

Have you heard of Triwa watches??  I just found out about it on Martha Stewart today.  I usually don't wear watches...but, this style caught my eye.  I love the brilliant colors...apparently they change each season which is really cool.  Plus, the price isn't that bad at around $195.  Just had to share my new find that I was surprised to have found out through Ms. Stewart herself rocking a turquoise Triwa watch:)
