Color Me {Glistening Gold}

All that glitters can be gold! Happy Monday. I hope everyone had a super relaxing weekend. We had the best time this weekend. Dinner with friends on Friday, a trip to Sweet Grass Dairy on Saturday, and a lazy day at home on Sunday. It may have been perfect. I also spent some time brainstorming about my next photo shoot for LPF Mag. I'm dreaming of a super girly party dripping in glitter, gold, and all things indulgent. Think champagne and dessert soiree full of happy girls and clinking glasses. It's sounds like the perfect party to me that all stemmed from a perfect weekend.

Have a great day!

All Wrapped Up {Glistening Gift Tag}

A couple of weeks ago, I showed you a chic little wrapping with a lovely paper peony on top. Well, today I'm showing you a matching gift tag. Gift tags seem to be so seldom used these days. But, here's what I love about gift tags. They are easy to keep on hand and use in a flash. With a few simple touches, a white gift tag can go from boring to fab. I love using them when I forget to get a card for a gift but still want to include a personal message. For this gift tag, I wanted something a little flashy and fun. Glitter was the perfect touch it needed. First things first. Grab a pen and write your message. You will find it is much easier to do this before glittering. Next, pour some silver glitter out onto a paper plate or a sheet of paper. Take your hot glue gun and cover the bottom fourth of the tag, immediately putting in the glitter before the glue dries. To add a little extra touch, I glued a left over silver washer from a project a few weeks ago at the top by the string hole. Lastly, put the string through and tie to your package! 

This Week I Feel {Celebratory}

Hi there! How was everyone's holiday? I hope it was relaxing and enjoyable. I certainly know mine was. And now that the festivities are over, it's time to start prepping for the next bash. They always say how you ring in the new year is a prediction of the year to come, thus why not ring it in in style. With glitter, drinks, friends, and fun how can you go wrong? I love using tinsel to write out the year. I'm even going to take this idea and use it to decorate my bike for our annual bike decorating competition. Don't worry I'll show you pictures of that later. Leave up the Christmas lights to sparkle off the glitter for a little extra bling. As long as you keep a neutral pallet of silver and gold glitter, you can't go wrong! 

How are you ringing in the new year?

This Week I Feel {Bright}

When in doubt add glitter. One of my favorite sights is the glow of Christmas lights off the sparkle of glistening ornament. But what I love so much about metallic decor for the holidays is how it can carry though to New Years. Metallics act as a neutral so decorating pieces can be used year round as an accent for birthdays, weddings, or any other occasion worth throwing a party! Gold accents are the perfect compliment to the more traditional red and green and add that little necessary splash of glitz.
