EVENT: Elle Magazine & Wella at Charles Scott Salon

What a gorgeous event at Charles Scott Salon in Rocky River! As I walked around, mingled with fabulous ladies and snapped some photos...my glass was constantly being filled with wine! (They know how to keep a lady happy!) Suddenly a friend and I were wisked away to be given a tour of the open, airy and relaxing salon. Next thing we knew, the gracious and very friendly staff had us seated at a hair station and pampered us with a fresh hair styling. Such a lovely event and had fun chatting with Marissa Frobes from Elle, Katherine Boyed from Q104 and the Wella Professionals rep! 

MY CLOSET: Casual Weekend Wear

Spring has arrived...AND I got a bike! I snagged this baby at a thrift store, what a great buy. You can find me zooming around in lovely casual outfits consisting of oversized tops, bright colors & multiple patterns. The extra details on these items give a casual look a little extra kick, which you know I'm all about. Oversized Sweater (a favorite) and bright jeans: Free People  ///  Shoes: Zara  ///  Scarf: Jcrew  /// Messenger bag and sunglasses: NastyGal  ///  Earrings: AC Design  ///  Pom Pom Key Chain: The Glam &Grace shop.

TRENDING: white shoes

Time to say hello to Spring and put some white on your feet. Here is a fab collection of white shoes ranging from funky sneakers, patterned cutout kitten heels, mary jane platforms to high heel sandals with a silver toe.

MY SPACE: attic studio - details

Oh man, it's happening! The studio is in progress! (This is for the attic studio I've mentioned several times) Yes, this is long over due but I NEED to get organized. Somehow, living in a big house by yourself a studio can take over the whole home...art & design stuff has found itself in every room. Ridiculous, I know. But NOW, I will have a defined space for design.

Thanks to Home Goods, I've picked up gorgeous colorful striped baskets in varying sizes. Perfect for adding simple pattern and bright pops of color. I also found round colorful braided rugs which I will layer in the main gathering area. To organize the beads, I picked up tins with clear lids and added magnets on the back. I've ordered metal wall boards so the tins can hang on the wall (out of the way) and be clearly seen. 

MY CLOSET: oversized shag sweater - street wear

Here's a casual street wear look mixing neutrals. I love wearing a warm chestnut brown and black together with layers, layers, LAYERS. Long oversized tanks, sweaters and socks will for sure keep you comfy and warm until spring finally hits.

Hat: Express - I studded myself (similar here)  /// Sunglasses: Asos  /// Jewelry: AC Design  ///  long white tank  ///  Black long sheer layering slip: Free People  ///  Oversized shag cardigan: Choies  ///  Trousers: Zara  ///  Socks: Jcrew  /// Ankle Boots: Sam Edelman

TRENDING: holographic fashion

Can't pass this up. I feel like I'm in an episode of Clueless right now (and that's not a complaint) My top picks I'm trying to grab are either Miista, Jeffrey Campbell or UNIF hologram shoes. Nastygal also has some handbags I'm eyeing. So excited for spring fashion.

SHOP: AC | Design 2013

I've been hard at work lately coming up with some new styles for my line, AC | Design.

I love designing...getting to experiment with color and texture, it's truly my passion. Above, is my wildly colorful pom necklace which features removable pom pom keychains. The scarf is an upcycled t-shirt with crocheted stands added in for texture. The bottom pic features new spring pieces, which will be out in local shops and in the online shop SOON!
