DIY Decor

I am moving into a new apartment next week for my senior year of college (eekkk!!) I am so excited and it is a great excuse to go shopping for new decor. I was so excited I kind of went overboard on the shopping part, which isn't unusual for me. However once I get to school there will be bills to pay so I had a fun idea for budget friendly wall decorations.

First I found some great photos of old Vogue covers online at British Vogue like this one,

Then I resized them to 5x7 and printed them on photo paper

Then I found two cute frames at TJ Maxx for $9.99 however the paint was chipping a bit so I asked them to reduce the price and I got them for only $9.00 each!

Once I got the frames home I filled in the chipped paint with black sharpie and they are good as new!

Here is the final product...

I am really pleased with the outcome, what do you think?

LC in Anthropologie

Lauren Conrad was spotted in none other then Anthopologie! She paired the Mullany dress with a pair of peep toe shoes and ruby red lipstick.

Rachel Bilson can make anything look amazing, here she is wearing cut-off denim shorts and a white top, so simple...but couldn't be cuter! The great thing about this simple outfit is that it can easily be recreated for any budget. Here is an outfit inspired by Bilson's for about $100!

Interior Fashions

Two of my all time favorite shows, Gossip girl & Sex in the City, have a lot in common. For instance, they both take place in NYC and both feature fabulous fashion. What you may not know is that the sets for both shows were designed by the amazingly talented Christina Tonkin. Here are photos of the rooms she has designed for Gossip Girl.

The Humphrey Home

And the #1 closet I would love to raid, Blair's Closet

Christina does an amazing job of having the rooms that she creates become an extension of the character where no detail goes unnoticed. I would love to have her creative genius when it comes to home decor!

Under the Sea

Fashion was taken to the next level this past weekend in Seoul, South Korea where they held an underwater fashion show. The models were both athletic and graceful as they 'swam' the runway. Here are some amazing photos from the event.

I Die for Fashion

Everyone knows Rachel Zoe for her sense of style and her fun sayings like "bananas" or "I Die", which is the theme for her latest fashion shoot where Rachel literally 'dies' for fashion. The shoot features Rachel and various designers 'killing her' for the love of fashion!

Check out the photos from the shoot.
