Pillow Talk: A Party Of Pillows

( Via: Studio DIY )

A good pillow grouping adds polish and personality to any space. They add a layer of style and detail to every decor. If you think about it, a throw pillow is the least risky way to change the feel of a room. A patterned pillow is much less of a commitment than say, a printed sofa. Pillows are the finishing touch that every room needs. Come on, let's party!

Oh Joy! Embroidered Pillow
Why not reach for the rainbow with your decorating goals? This bright pillow pairs easily with the entire fun Oh Joy Collection, and for less than $20.

If Your Walls Could Talk.......

The Statement Sleeve

{ Via: Vogue }

Because friends don't let friends wear tops or dresses with boring sleeves. Spring has sprung in the stores and so far, I am a fan. Especially fun are the high fashion sleeves on everything. I have always loved a good sleeve. From off the shoulder, puffed, ruffled, sheer or tied, sleeves are the statement makers for Spring. This edit focuses on some of my faves. 

HERE: 12 Statement Styles 

Poppy Bell 

Made of a rayon and linen blend, this is oh so lovely. Best yet, it comes in way under $100. Also available in white and pink.

Anthropologie 

Deliah Metallic Dress

 This dress is anything but simple, but the sleeves make a statement in an understated way. Sheer with a slight bell, they follow the trend in a very alluring way.

Free People 

Two Statement Pieces

Loving this look for Spring, Summer, and perfect for a Spring break! Easy to wear, care for, and both pieces are affordable!

Sonnet Top  Stella Luna Skirt

Soft Surroundings 

Off The Shoulder Smocked Sleeve Dress

I think I just found my new swimsuit coverup! Isn't it adorable? Again under $100.

Boston Proper

Tie In Cut Out Shirt

This is fun. The peek-a- boo sleeves gives new meaning to shirting.

Nasty Gal  

Marchesa Caftan

One of the prettiest things I have seen for Spring. It's crazy expensive, but with the hand beading throughout, it is probably worth it. Those sleeves! The entire caftan edit is really quite gorgeous! 

Moda Operandi

Bell Sleeve Silk Top

What a fabulous look with subtle details. It's less than $100. More colors available.

Ann Taylor  

See By Chloe Trench Jacket

Loving this trench coat makeover for Spring! I think it could become my favorite.

Nordstrom 

Willow Ribbed Bell Sleeve

A fitted silhouette gets dramatic at the sleeves. Now what couldn't you wear with this?

Neiman Marcus 

Burberry Cashmere Cardigan

What a statement maker! I don't love all puffed sleeves, but these with soft cashmere paired with a peplum waist are fabulous! So chic.

Burberry 

Lafayette 148 New York Trench

Coats with three quarter length sleeve began last Fall. It's always a chic look. Here you go for Spring. Such a different piece to add to your coat collection!

Nordstrom 

Crepe Sheath

What a pretty little cocktail dress! Best yet, it's on sale.
