I had to share my FAVE Easter image from Pinterest via NORDSTROM!

 I LOVE the contrast of the bright metallic gold against the soft pinkish hue! 


It made me think what a FAB accent idea for a NURSERY....
LITTLE CROWN INTERIORS used this beautiful damask wallpaper
for the focal wall behind the crib. Love it!

Mogo Charm bands are the latest collectible Tween trend.  My 8 year old is obsessed with these charm bracelets!  Really cool and pretty button-sized magnetic charms easily snap and click into brightly colored bands. There are tons of designs to choose from like peace signs, hearts, cupcakes, initials, birthstones, butterflies, bling charms and many, many more!  Believe me I know, as my daughter wants more and more..! Here's the innovative part, its versatility: the bands can be connected to make accessories such as necklaces, chokers and belts.

Price point is very reasonable, about $25-$40 for the band and a couple of charms.

See some images below:

VARIETY OF MOGO CHARMS

The jewel toned colors in these charms are really special and made me wonder how it would translate into interior design? Love the idea of a crisp white room embellished with pops of saturated bright color! That would make a space feel playful, dramatic and sophisticated! See some spaces below for inspiration:

Hot pink color and pattern adds adds elegance to this great room!

FOODIE SCAPE: GOURMET POPSICLES COLOR INSPIRE

GOURMET POPSICLE  (source)

Wouldn’t you want to sink your teeth into this Blackberry/Vanilla Gourmet popsicle this summer? What a great backyard dinner party treat that inspires a modern sophisticated space!

I have always loved the color purple. Its hue embodies luxury, sophistication and royalty. When teamed with vanilla white, it is a forceful statement. When it comes to interior spaces, this regal color is striking; yet soothing. It blurs the line between masculine and feminine and has a youthful edginess;yet mature and elegant. So GO for it!

See the crisp white sheets against the lush headboard designed by Vern Yip below. This bedroom is inviting, peaceful and calm:

FISH INSPIRED COLORS AT SEAWORLD,ORLANDO

Shamu Stadium- One Ocean Show

Seaworld, the world's largest marine-themed park, is an amazing place! We were VIP's for the day and was escorted to amazing live shows featuring dolphins & birds-Blue Horizon show, Shamu (known as the killer whale)-One Ocean show, a hysterical pirate inspired Sea Lion-Otter show and taken behind the scenes where we learned about their animal rescue program. Our tour guide, Ally was extremely informative and told us that Seaworld has saved thousands of marine animals and their goal is to send them back to the wild! She even showed us how Seaworld cares for these sick turtles,dolphins and manatees. It was very impressive. Seeing behind the scenes was incredible!

By the end of the day, I was overwhelmed and inspired by Underwater life's varying colors and patterns. I saw every conceivable variation of color, stripe, spot and texture in plantlife and fish. My wheels were turning, while amazed at all the wonderful colors, how to apply some of these features to an interior application? See some of the wonder below:

 The iridescent colors of this plant life and fish are breath taking in person! Love the curly edges and depth of the plantlife. For an interior application, how about a chic white room with a pop of color using a large fishtank of colorful fish and plantlife? you could also get a large metal tray and arrange different textured plantlife. Would be a soothing addition to any room.

My daughter was able to poke her body inside a chamber of iridescent anenome. Wow the spaghetti stands of orange are uh-mazing! For an interior application, you could accent this orange color against some sandy beiges or creamy colors.

  This dragon fish is cool, looks like lacy lettuce! Love the iridscent lime color! For an interior application, the lime would be a great accent color for a charcoal or chocolate colored room.

This fish was my pal at the Sharks underwater restaurant.  He kept coming by me to hang out. I noticed when the light hits its scales, it displays various metallic and iridscent colors! For an interior application, this goldy metallic would be a cool paint or wallcovering color against dark colored wood!

The varying tones of gray are so pretty on the dolphins. We got to feed them!

Noticing the lovely pale gray while standing below the sting-ray tank.

Did this guy smile at us?
