Modern Lace And Open Space

(Via Polyvore)

"Cut it Out," has a new meaning this Spring. For fashion it's crop tops with slashes of tummy showing, peek a boo cuts in clothing, and a fresh perspective on lace.  For the home, furniture and accessories give breathing room to your space with open design.  It's all quite fresh for your mod pod or bod.  Here are some of my favorite finds.
