Best In Beauty Buys & Bonuses

I have said it before. I am a bit obsessed with beauty products. A romantic walk for me is down the makeup aisle. All of the colors, shine, and gilded packages are so full of possibilities. Like an artist in a paint store or a kid in a candy store, a makeup department is where I like to play. Like you, I love a good deal and recently discovered that you can save on beauty and fragrances. You just have to know where to shop. Here's how....

Be Your Own Glam Squad

Bright At Home

(Illustration by Megan Hess)

Inspiration came today from this dreary February weather and the wonderful image below from One Kings Lane.  I am longing for some color. What about you? Adding little pops of color to your home is easy to achieve, and they can make a big statement. Not to mention what they can do for your happiness quotient! So when Winter skies dim your view, make sure things are sunny side up inside.

HERE: 14 Wonderful Ways To Brighten Up

Lisa Mende Designs

My inspiration for the day. This room is filled with drama, texture and totally makes me happy. I love the contrast between the dark and the bright. 
One Kings Lane

If These Walls Could Talk
They would "scream" the word chic.  I just love a well dressed wall, and these are wearing some fabulous fashion prints. And those "Schiaparelli Pink" walls are the perfect backdrop for the crisp black and white upholstery and linens.
One Kings Lane

 Wee Children's Rabbit Table & Chairs
The Children's Play Room or Bedroom is the perfect place to add some color. The MacKenzie-Childs table and chairs (sold separately) have been handcrafted with non-toxic oil based paints. Oh the tea parties that will be enjoyed here!
Neiman Marcus
P.S. Pretty Pom Poms can be found at A Day Special at Etsy

Mix and Match Pillows
Pillows are one of the easiest ways to upgrade any room and add a punch of personality. You can brighten a room with both pattern and  color. Get the 411 on how to do it at
West Elm 

Handheld Tieback
Gold is certainly a color and its' metallic shine will add glam and gleam to any room. Love this whimsical piece of hardware!
Anthropologie

Kate Spade New York Home Office
The Downing Desk is everything to this blogger! I just know that my creativity (and yours) would flow with these chic dots. Leave it to Kate Spade New York to dare to pair the desk with more dots of a different dimension and a pretty patterned carpet. Shop the look at
Kate Spade New York

Designer's Guild
Even deep or faded blue can be bright when paired with white and pops of pretty pattern. I am not a "blue" person, but this image could make me one. Find all of these bright ideas at
Designer's Guild

Jana Bek Brushstroke Lamp
As you can see, blue is wearing on me, especially when it is ever so bright and paired with white. But if blue isn't your fave, there are seven other shades.
The Zhush 

Domestic Construction Floor Mats
When brightening up your home, start from the ground up. I am a bit obsessed with these made to order digitally dyed mats. They work inside and out and can be machine washed and dried! Read all about them at
AHAlife

All The Right Accessories
"Faux Flowers that look real, snazzy trays, and glittering geods, are just a few of the finish-the-room details that add chic doses of color and big pops of personality." Those buds look real, don't you think?
Horchow

Kate Spade Modern Living Room
I love how this room is anchored in black and brightened with patterns and pastels. The Drake Tufted Sofa is a pretty forever piece in the most gorgeous shade of aqua. 
Kate Spade New York

Tapestry That Pops
Richly woven, handmade tapestries add warmth to any room. Of course, the orange adds warmth.
Art.com 

Agate Night Lights
Talk about a slice of color! These handmade lights are bright and beautiful by day or night.
Royal Suzy Jewelry At Etsy

Catalina Duvet Cover & Gobi Embroidered Sheets
Sunshine yellow always adds a dose of delight to a room. Mix in pops of pink and you create a happy haven.
