Etsy Shop Crush: Petite Delights

I came across the Petite Delights shop and instantly fell in love with the romantic, shabby chic jewelry style. Although they have a big collection, I usually lean towards the earrings (studs to be specific) so had to share my favorite with you!

Blue Scarves & Letter Shapes

Lately, I've been posting about Spring trends and today won't be the exception. I had a great weekend, the weather was nice and warm for February. I did a little trend browsing and found a lot of blue in fashion fabrics like the beautiful blue tones used in the flower pattern scarves below. The blue tones are in the soft pastel color range, perfect for Spring!

Pretty Spring scarves at +LOFT - you can shop them HERE.

I also found these cool letter shapes at +Anthropologie that I had to share. I have considered getting a few of these but can't figure out how to fit them with my decor. If you've been following the blog, you probably know my love for fonts, and everything related to letter forms so I think that I'll eventually figure something out and find a place for them, even if it's in a little corner of the apartment. Hah! 

 

So, how was your weekend? Did you find something cool and trendy? I'd love to hear from you in the comments.

Cheers!

The Choker Necklace Trend

The choker necklace trend goes back to the 90's and it's now on trend. I remember having a flexible plastic one with beads that I loooved and trashed not too long ago (now I want it back, of course.)

These make us look a bit more elegant, specially the ones in metallic tones. Here are some stylish picks in gold and one with mint that is also trendy for Spring.

Stylish Kleenex Now Part Of Your Home Decor

Today's post is about something I love to have at home, the office and my purse. Not only does this product come in handy every time I sneeze (at least 3 times a day) but the container comes in many stylish patterns to suite everyone's style. 

To celebrate Kleenex’s 90th anniversary, they’re bringing you another innovative first: The Kleenex® Style Studio. It’s a fun, inspiring way to discover more of the Kleenex® Brand designs and products you love. And maybe even a few that’ll take you by surprise.

Whether you’re decorating at home or adding a pop of color to your clutch, Kleenex® has you covered.

At home, I keep a box of Kleenex in the bedroom. It's a must have where I do my makeup because I use it to clean makeup brushes and to wipe away excess makeup. Did you know Kleenex started out as a facial tissue for removing makeup? I even use it to apply makeup when the blush brush is nowhere to be found. 

I usually go for the girly pinks & purple boxes. The husband doesn't complain so I keep going for what I like, simple flower patterns in my favorite colors. ;)

I also keep a box of Kleenex in the workstation while on the computer. It also comes in handy when I paint my nails. I keep the nail polish by the computer because I get to paint and let them dry without messing up while I type away.

My purse is the one place that never runs out of Kleenex. In the cold weather it saves my runny nose, in the heat I use it to pat dry the oily face. When I catch a cold or during allergy season, there is no way I leave without the little pouch of Kleenex in my purse.

Follow these steps to test your fashion sense for a chance to win!

        1. Visit the Kleenex style finder landing page and click on “sweeps” tab in the 

        top right corner of the page.

        2. Then click “Play to Enter”.

What's your favorite Kleenex style? I personally love the Blooms line which I picked for the bedroom. It comes in purple, red, green and orange. Tell me your favorite in a comment. Cheers!

Nails: Pink & Gold Hearts for Valentine's Day!

It's Valentine's Day this week so start spreading the love to make the world a better place. Here are some tips to follow every day:

♥ Hug someone

♥ Make a phone call

♥ Say I love you

♥ Say it in spanish TE QUIERO, or TE AMO

♥ Smile for no reason

♥ Think about the good things in life

♥ Be thankful

♥ Be kind

♥ Enjoy nature

♥ Take time for yourself

♥ Draw hearts 

♥ Do things that make you happy, like paint your nails ;)  

Use your favorite color as a base. I am using Essie's Lady Like. Pick a different nail color like Good As Gold and draw hearts. I start drawing a letter V and then fill in the heart shape. Remember, they don't have to be perfect, in fact, my favorites are the more oganically shaped hearts. 

V Hearts!

Love & cheers! Cristalia

Spring Perfumerie Nails

I came across +Revlon's Perfumerie collection a few days ago and had to try one of the cute bottled nail polish. The collection is divided in three categories: Fruits & Florals, Freshes and Sweet & Spices. I picked a peachy color, from the Fruits & Floral category, called Apricot Nectar which is perfect for Spring season. I would describe the scent as sweet and tangy, similar to the taste of orange Tic Tac.

Here are my top colors to wear this Spring...

African Tea Rose :: Spun Sugar :: Tropical Rain :: Lavender Soap :: Ginger Melon :: Apricot Nectar

Have you tried scented nail polish? What color/scent would you like to try?

Love & cheers! Cristalia
