Nothing says "it's summer" like going to a ballgame. Peanuts, beer in a plastic cup, boys in tight pants... it all works for me. As long as I'm appropriately dressed:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Loose tops.</b> Remember you'll be sitting on plastic fold out seats for majority of the game so think ahead and avoid the sweat marks.</li>
<li><b>Hair up.</b> Nothing ruins a mood like heat rash from your hair being down.</li>
<li><b>Polarized sunglasses. </b>That ball is tiny from far away!</li>
<li><b>Don't wear white shoes.</b> Someone will step on your shoe at some point in time no matter how careful you are. Trust me.</li>
<li><b>Do not wear a dress.</b> For no other reason than you'll look like an amateur.</li>
</ul>

The vibrant colors of the flowers are what catches my attention at first glance and, the primary reason I snapped the shot. Then, after cruising <a href="http://us.topshop.com/?geoip=home" target="_blank">Topshop</a> for reasons other than this blog post (!!), I found <u>the</u> perfect orange midi skirt to design an outfit around.<br />
<br />
I loved the texture and bright color, wanting to keep as the focal point of the look. Adding pastels helped accomplish that, opting for a crop top to modernize the silhouette. The deep purple sandals rounded out the outfit - making it perfect summer outfit that can go from day to night with a smoky eye.<br />

While parking at work today, this fence and overgrown greenery caught my eye. I love the horizontal planking with muted coloring and defined wood grain. The bright greenery adds a fresh and vibrant contrast which is what I tried to do with the bold, graphic pillows in this living room idea. Balancing the chunky wood coffee table with metal and bamboo components keeps the space looking airy and whimsical. I also added a textured lamp to create visual interest without drawing too much attention away from the planked coffee table centerpiece. </div>

I especially liked the way the shaded area, deep red and golden tones compliment each other in a way that was perfect to model a dining room idea after. The lightness of the photo is central to the overall composition which is exactly what I tried to do with the table centerpiece.<br />

I think it will be a great stamina builder and inspirational way to sit back and enjoy the Sacramento sunshine. For those that don't know, <a href="http://www.currentresults.com/Weather-Extremes/sunniest-places-countries-world.php" target="_blank">Sacramento is the sunniest place on Earth for months June through August</a>. It's hot, there isn't a cloud in the sky and it never. ever. rains.<br />
<br />
To celebrate, I'm going <a href="http://www.roalddahl.com/" target="_blank">Roald Dahl</a> on everyone, watching with glittering eyes for home decorating and fashion inspiration in the Sacramento sunshine. It's my way of kicking off the summer while collecting some great ideas along the way.<br />

<br />
I'll start by saying that my hat goes off to those up for the task of planning a wedding in less than a year. It took me a year and a half and I can't imagine the amount of time needed to dedicate for anything less.<br />
<br />
Next, for those wondering where the heck I've been for the last three months, it's been a mix between planning a wedding and enjoying being a newlywed. For the record: getting married is totally worth it. Even if you think you're the type of person that's not interested in everything that comes with a wedding, have one. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to marry my best friend in front of our closest family and friends. It was absolutely magical.<br />

It's official. Home residence = under a rock if this is the first time you've heard of this color. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everywhere in 2014 fashion, I thought it'd be fun to try and translate into a bedroom. The trick is keeping the space feeling adult and balanced vs. princess palace for a 9 year old. To accomplish, I mixed modern floral patterns with neutral geometric ones. This allowed me to use a "pop of color" (phrase courtesy of my mother) without making the room feel overly vibrant or bold. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>tip:</b></span> Continue to balance bold color with neutrals when choosing artwork. Avoid competing with the patterns by opting for line drawing with a minimal color palette - like this <a href="http://society6.com/product/Ampersand-Mr8_Framed-Print#12=60&13=55" target="_blank">ampersand</a> or <a href="http://society6.com/product/Wires-2xZ_Framed-Print#12=52&13=54" target="_blank">street print</a>.

It was also one of <i>the</i> hottest jackets on the spring fashion runway. I need one of these immediately.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>tip:</b></span> Play with the masculine vs. feminine undertones where possible. Opt for a version that uses a more delicate fabric or has a floral pattern, pairing with boyfriend jeans and a sassy pump. Or, pair a bold jacket with a softer dress or skirt.<br />

It was really fun to browse all sorts of interior spaces in hopes of finding inspiration for an outfit. One of the big "aha" moments I had was with pattern mixing. I'm a huge fan of mixing patterns regardless, but with outfits I've been more hesitant to take risks because of the smaller canvas size. Using an interior space as inspiration gave me the direction I needed to pull something together that is cohesive yet visually interesting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh - and this just in - totally fine to mix brown and black. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">tip:</span></b> Keep pattern styles similar to each other when mixing. It will help tie all of the fabrics together without having to match the color palettes exactly to each other. </div>

We have an ottoman instead of a coffee table. It's nice because - given the way our furniture is positioned - we can use to rest our feet on, Ruby can take a nap on it and we can even eat quick dinners on there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So while we love having an ottoman instead of a coffee table, it would be nice to have the leather version to avoid staining. And I wish it was large enough to be able to rest our feet on while holding a tray for decor and resting drinks on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">tip:</span></b> Limit tray to 2-3 objects, making sure one is relatively heavy to weigh down the ottoman padding.</div>

In my exploration of Pantone's 2014 colors of the year, I've started to notice my initial need to pair these colors with something brighter. With this look, I decided to experiment with mixing casual and dressy components. The way to make it work was to find a shoe that blends the two together. And for some reason, this was a teal wedge. Can't explain why but if it ain't broke...</div>

The best accessory for this trend is a tan. Icy pastels have had some serious exposure on the runways and I can't wait to give them a try. Pair with more saturated hues like coral, teal or cobalt to add boldness to an outfit. Try neutrals for a more crisp look or patterns for something more graphic. </div>

<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">tip:</span></b> When choosing patterns, opt for ones that include only a small amount of the solid piece you're pairing it with. It will be more visually interesting and keep the look modern. </div>

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Draper" target="_blank">Dorothy Draper</a> has been a huge inspiration to me as I continue to navigate my way through trial and error to find my style. Her use of bold patterns, brightly painted furniture and colored molding brought a fresh and unique perspective to the functional design process. Dorothy's designs remind me to have fun when decorating and to trust your personal style and aesthetic above anything else.</div>

Inspiration can come from anywhere. And for me, a lot of times that somewhere is fashion. Taking an outfit and using it to build your color palette or fabric profile could mean the difference of having a cohesive vision and a scattered idea. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First, look at each piece of clothing separately and list what they could bring to the space. Then, take the entire outfit and identify the proportions of each element to figure out how to bring balance to the room. Finally, add a couple of your favorite accessories to finish the space.</div>

It can be tough to come up with various outfits for one pair of flashy shorts. Especially when you buy them with one single event and one single outfit in mind. To let the piece out of your closet without people experiencing deja vu, try thinking of three different occasions and style around their needs. In this case, I picked wine tasting, a day party and girls night out. </div>

Intrigued by the 2014 colors of the year, I thought it'd be fun to design a room around them. This week: dazzling blue. A bright - albeit loud - blue is a color that requires a lot of grounding to make work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this look, I paired with white and tangerine. Focusing only on patterns, I was able to prevent this blue from overpowering the room and even added touches of natural stone and fibers to keep from feeling too modern.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>tip:</b></span> Look to the color opposite the featured hue on the color wheel to tone down the space.</div>

I've been in love with the crop top trend for a while now and am so glad it's here to stay this year. <a href="http://www.asos.com/" target="_blank">Asos</a> has by far the best selection - so much so I couldn't choose just one look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The key to pulling them off is remembering to stay a bit modest, especially for women 30 years and older. This means no belly button ladies - I mean it. </div>

The house opens straight up into the "great" room leaving me with a little, tiny piece of wall with a mail slot to use as the entryway. So I thought to focus on the height instead of the width.</div>

Mixing different pattens and textures helped tie the bench to wall decor, creating a strong vertical. Spraying the tray with chalkboard paint added sleekness and featuring brightly colored artwork gave some much needed boldness to the look.</div>

In the process of decorating, I came up with an idea to glue a postcard to a framed canvas I had wrapped in scrap book paper years before. I really loved how it turned out and was super easy to put together. </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>tip:</b></span> Try experimenting with different ways to affix the postcard to the wrapped canvas. Sewing pins, washi tape and hand stitching are all great options that would give the art some dimension.</div>

I've strayed a little from my comfort zone and gone soft. To me, a breakfast nook is a space you drift over to half asleep and mostly hungry. Any sudden move or pop of color could create a hostile environment causing you to squint, snap or snarl. And no one wants that.<br />

Currently, there are only two things in my bedroom I adore - the lamps and the gallery wall. I'm only 1/4 of the way done with refinishing the furniture in there and all of the linens can get thrown out the window for all I care. Bottom line: it is in major need of a makeover.<br />

Today I was in the mood for a crisp, fresh bathroom. No particular reason, just felt like pulling one together. To ground this space, I added some wooden elements meant to be placed on either side of the room. Mint is my new "it" color and I'm loving it paired with coral and chartreuse. </div>
