Bring Zara Home to the US!

For the past few years, I've been a big fan of Zara, a Spanish based store that sells clothing similar in design to top brands, but priced extremely well!  I love the unique clothing I can find in there without paying a high price, and there stuff lasts.  What I didn't know until recently, is that Zara also has a home collection which also has incredible products, only problem is that they don't yet sell to the US...... you've got to be kidding me!  I don't understand, and so I ask you Zara Home, please sell your amazing products here in the USA too!!

Black, White, and Mod.....

There is something a bit beautiful about a rain drop just sitting on a pane of glass.  Have you noticed how the reflection shows so much contrast between black and white, but also adds a bit of color from it's surroundings?   "Why can't design be the same?" I asked..... "It can!", I said.



  A bold contrast between black and white has long since been a "hot" design trend, and will continue to be fabulous!  I think we can all remember the stark contrast of black and white on those diner floors, the "groovy" geometric patterns on clothing in the 60's, and now the continued love of these two "non-colors" living in harmony!  There are really no rules when it comes to adding this to your style, but if there is one lesson I can teach, don't over do it!!  Keep it classy and simple, and for an added boost of fun, add a bright color to make it pop!  Perhaps it's because I'm on a yellow kick, but yellow screams happiness and light, and what better balance to a stark contrast than just that.

  Take for example this treasury I created which is almost exclusively in black and white's, but to make it my own, I added a punch of yellow.  Using neutrals such as black and white is a great foundation for a design, just keep it simple, and you'll go far!

Hi my name is Jessica and I'm an Etsy addict.....


It's true, I'm not only a seller on Etsy, but also a buyer and a stalker.  I can spend hours looking at the thousands of items on the site, when I have nothing in particular that I'm looking for.  I suppose it's similar to Facebook stalking, where you creep around looking at photos of people you barely spoke to 10 years ago.  Today I decided to be productive with my Etsy stalking, and found a collection of new favorites which I used to create a Treasury.

Now for those of you not familiar with Etsy, a treasury is collection of 16 items which follow a theme of some sort.  One day I did one all about orange, but today I put my interior design skills to the test, creating a bedroom designed exclusively with Etsy products.  What's great about these items is many of them are repurposed furniture or accessories that were either in terrific condition or have been given a facelift.  What better way to help the environment than by designing with great vintage or handmade pieces!!
