Ideal Spring Sneakers: Keds + Kate Spade

If you follow me on instagram you probably know that I am a super fan of the classic Keds. In fact, they are a staple in my comfy weekend wardrobe. Specially the red and white ones - I make them match any outfit I choose to wear. (Seriously!)

Remember my previous Keds + Kate Spade blog post? Well, today I bring you my favorites from this season's collaboration where they use trends like leather, neon, mesh, cork and floral fabrics.

Cork + Lemon + Mesh + Leather

My favorite? The last style in metallic leather because it adds a subtle touch of elegance with it's shiny, metallic color. What's your favorite? I'd love to know how you feel about KEDS. Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Radiant Orchid: The Plant!

Welcome to the first color post of 2014! Last year, I picked a new color each month and featured weekly posts. This year I will be trying something different. Each month I will be using Pantone's color of the year for a monthly Radiant Orchid post...let's see how creative I get in 12 months. ;)

Starting with:

The orchid plant has one of the most beautiful and elegant flowers. It often makes a perfect gift, so when in doubt, gift an orchid. My favorites are the white ones but they are all beautiful. Take a look at my beautiful plant from last year.

The photograph above, by Terence Davis (buy here,) is a perfect example of the Radiant Orchid color of the month with it's purple, fuchsia and pink tones. 

The +Pantone color is described as an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. The color transmits joy, love and health. Who wouldn't want to be surrounded by all that?! I definitely would so stay tuned for more Radiant Orchid posts. 

What are your thoughts on Pantone's color of the year?

Goodbye 2013 and Happy New Year!

What a faaaabulous yearrr! 2013 was great from starting the blog (yes, Cheers! Cristalia will be 1 year in a few weeks) to making new friends, attending design and bloggers conferences, guest blogging at MyFriendBettySays.com, traveling to Hawaii, San Francisco, visiting new places in my gorgeous Dominican Republic (stay tuned for this post), working with great brands, redesigning the site and much more!

In 2014, the plan is to keep growing Cheers! Cristalia focusing more on fashion and home decor posts and to continue to work with great brands.

I wish you all the very best in this New Year. Health, joy and peace!

IKEA Catalog 2014

The 2014 IKEA Catalog is here and of course, I have to share my favorites with you! Scroll on to view the pages I liked the most and what I love in them.

Colorful Chairs!

It's great to see Pantone's 2013 color of the year in that classy sofa.
At $9.99 I am ready to go purchase that faux sheepskin rug, nice and fluffy. 

Classy & romantic vs. bright and bold. I'm torn!

B, I, G - Metallic letter decor on the left wall.
Anyone's dream, a white clean home - nice and bright.

Change that light blue wall to white or a super soft pink and it's perfect for a girl.

My dream kitchen has an island and this one is just perfect. 

I sometimes wonder where to hide all the plants in my living room...thanks for the idea IKEA!

Hope you love these as much as I do! Now tell me what's been added to your IKEA wish list in a comment below. 

Love & Cheers! Cristalia
