Score!

I just scored this Ambassador Men's Wardrobe Butler Valet Clothing Rack for only $20.
It was made to hang suits and trouser and other male accessories such as ties and pens. It would keep everything organized and wrinkle-free. But, I am going to re-purpose it. I will make it the perfect jewelry "box" for myself. This would go perfect in the corner of our room at our new place. I've been very selective in choosing a jewelry box, because some of them can be so clunky. I love the drawer and the three individual compartments on top, and most of all I really like that it is free standing. Most affordable jewelry boxes were made to sit on a surface, and then it takes up the whole entire surface. This keeps all my jewelry organized and set aside from my dresser. It is a very unique piece!

Score!

Robert & Giselle Miami Wedding

Robert & Giselle Miami Wedding

I still feel those same butterflies walking down that aisle on my wedding day whenever I see this video.
We loved our photographer, John Davydov. He was beyond incredible. Thank you for capturing this very special day. It's been a year and 2 months already since our wedding day and it feels like it was just yesterday.
Still holding on to those precious moments that are so dear to my heart. Enjoy!

Sincerely,
Giselle

Saturday Mornings

Sooooo, we are moving! In less than two weeks and I have not yet packed or decluttered.
I have tons of things to scour through, but for right now I will enjoy my time with Chloe (my niece), enjoy my cup of coffee, and be governed by my childhood memories while watching the Disney Channel. Happy Saturday morning to all! Enjoy every minute because we all know the weekend does go by FAST!

Sincerely,
Giselle (& Chloe)

Below is an image of Chloe at a party. I love these pictures of her.

Patterns, Colors, and Textures, Oh My!

I love spring time! I love West Elm during the spring time! They have such a great selection of decorative pillows, area rugs, tableware and accessories that can really light up a room. This is the easiest way to change up any space without spending an arm and a leg. Let your space reflect your personality! People tend to overlook the fact that their home can really reflect their personality and identity. Splurge a little this weekend on your home and make it YOU.

Have fun!

PS- Found the cute little trees online from an unknown artist. =/

Persimmon and Teal

I am loving everything that is on this moodboard! Persimmon orange and teal have got to be one of my most favorite color combinations all year round. They make any dull room look more playful and moore cheerful. Notice the subtle touches of these colors, and how they were utilized in the space. I'm having such a hard time designing and decorating my home. It is much easier designing someone elses home and loads of more fun using their money! There are endless options for interior styles and I want all of them. Picking one is just too complicated. Once I feel like I've nailed my design choice I get easily seduced by another. I do notice my style for comfy casual is mildly subsiding and modern/chic/vintage is a good trio for us. And I gotta have all three because I just can't pick one.

New Apt.

I just moved into my first new apartment and I am just dying to design and decorate!
I find myself splurging on home goodies more than clothes and shoes. I NEED to find balance! Every time Robert comes home from work he notices I switched things around. The first thing he does when he walks into the apt- It'll go something like this, "Hey babe- oh wow, but, oh you moved it over there- that looks nice. Oh, and where did- ah, there it is." It's just funny to stare at him as he tries to piece everything together. Most guys couldn't careless, but Robby is a rare breed and that's why I married him. Now, the past couple of weeks I've been shifting the same things over and over again until I find myself content with the way it looks, but then I got bored of swapping the same things. Soo, Friday finally came, deposited my check and off I went to IKEA with my mom. Yes, IKEA aka Disney World. I got some fun decorative pillows, accessories and a table lamp. I can't buy furniture yet, because this apartment that we are currently living in is only temporary- so I don't want to jump the gun and start buying the "big stuff" until I'm in the new place. So, there you go. This weekend I'm going to the Container Store- I've never been so obsessed with organizing until I moved. I have no idea why. Can't wait!


Here are a few of the items I boutght from IKEA and The mirror is from CHIASSO. =)

Eek! 8 months ago...

I can't believe that the last time I posted was over 8 months ago. I promised myself I would be loyal to my blogspot. Well, soooo much has happened since March! I'm engaged, enraged, and totally loving it! February 19, 2011, I'll be marrying the most wonderful man in the wooorld! The picture to the left was taken in Coral Gables, and there are plenty of other shots that we just absolutely love. Since our theme is travel we loved the idea of incorporating world war 2 airplanes as our backdrop. I had such a wonderful time taking pictures with him. He was such a great sport. We want to go back and take some more shots just for fun. My lovely cousin is the one that was behind the lens, and boy, she WOWed me. Thank you Patty for the pictures! Now, 2 months is all I've got left in planning this wedding. I have sooo many ideas that I can't wait to materialize. I love the idea of hand-made invitations, and that's what we're doing. Once those are sent out, which will be happening next week--I will definitely post pictures up of the invites. Can't wait to share!

Merry Christmas to everyone!
