Gold Words, Bright Lights

I'm a sucker gold anything, so it's no surprise that gilded canvas prints hold a special place in my heart and on my walls. Besides the sheer prettiness of these Ankit canvases, their messages have come at just the right time.

A lot has changed in my life in the past few months, from my newly single relationship status to my exciting, yet very scary plans to move to New York after I graduate. I'd be lying if I said it didn't all overwhelm me to the point of tears sometimes.

"As long as I can surround myself with the dreamiest twinkling lights and words to keep me going, I should be just fine."

When I need a break from it all, I turn to a good book. I'm slowly but surely working through my stack. In a mason jar, these vintage lights make a charming bedside lamp for my late night reading.

As long as I can surround myself with the dreamiest twinkling lights and words to keep me going, I should be just fine. No, better than fine – fabulous.

Tassel Tassel

You may think that there's no practical use for a tassel garland in your everyday life, and I understand completely. I too have thought that way...for maybe 3 seconds. Then I thought, "wait, why wouldn't you need a tassel garland in your life?"

"EVERYTHING ABOUT AMINA'S DESIGNS IS BRIGHT, PLAYFUL & HAPPY, AND I AM AN ADVOCATE FOR ALL OF THOSE THINGS." 

At least that's what I was thinking when I chose this Misty Pink Tassel Garland from Studio Mucci. Everything about Amina's designs is bright, playful and happy, and I am an advocate for all of those things. 

I knew as soon I pulled the garland out of the box that I wanted to hang it in a thrifted gold frame I have in my room. Now, it's become a fun installation above my library. I also knew I wanted to have some fun with it, which obviously meant I had a mini photo booth session.

Brightly Decorated Life

If simply looking at something can take your mood from from "bleh" to "you got this, girlfriend," there's got to be some magic in it. That's how I felt when I discovered Evelyn Henson's prints. Her playful, feminine and cheerful prints, journals and mugs are the perfect pick me up for a mid-week slump.
