{whatever wednesday}

Easter weekend is upon us!  Time to get ready for Easter brunch, Peeps, bunnies, chickies, bonnets and dresses, Starburst Jelly Beans, and my personal favorite:  the day after candy sale!  Also, I'm attending my FIRST Adult Easter Egg Hunt this year, which I'm pretty stoked about.  I'm sure there will be photos grammed and Snapchats a plenty, so you can follow the fun there.  I just started Snapchat for the 5th time, so you can follow me at flamingo314 if you're a Snapchatter as well.  I will warn you that I'm new, so my snapping skills are still at a beginner level.  On to this week's {whatever wednesday} of gold eggs, pretty pastel desserts, and Easter style libations.  Hippity hop, hope you have a wonderful Easter Weekend!

Design Inspiration Monday

Metallic wallpaper, pretty please!  This ultra feminine staircase nook looks so pretty and peaceful with the ladylike blue hues, gold, silver, and antique furniture.  Because of the reflection, metallic wallpapers will brighten a space and is visually pleasing all around.  What do you think about metallic wallpaper?

Design Inspiration Monday

Texture, mixed metallics, mirrors, subtle patterns.  This living room nook has it all.  Having a slight obsession with mirrors (to where I may eventually get #ihavethisthingwithmirrors trending on IG), the mirror mixture ultimately grasped my attention.  The arch shaped mirror on the floor seriously gives me googly eyes. Carrying different sizes and two styles of sunburst mirrors throughout the room sparks interest.  I tend to be one who shys away from yellows, but love the light mustard combined with pewter, charcoal and gold tones.

Shoesday Tuesday

Sleek metallic and a sky-high platform heel, these are not your average sandals.  Surprisingly versatile, similar styles have been spotted on Lady Gaga and Jessica Alba.  Pair with jean shorts and a kimono for a bohemian day look or a culottes jumpsuit for a night out.
