Yellow: Color of the month!

To introduce the month with some color inspiration, I am starting with a yellow post. Yellow  is beautifully defined as a color that shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. The color carries the promise of a positive future and infuses optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts.

After reading the yellow definition from Sensationalcolor.com I almost want to color everything around me yellow and wear it everyday. Well... maybe not, that wouldn't be very creative of me - but the description truly makes me want to add a some yellow to every part of my life.

I took a few shots of a yellow wall in my living room. It's been yellow for 4 years - maybe longer - and I've been wanting to change it but now, I'm not so sure about removing the happy color.

Beautiful, isn't it? Post your happy yellow thoughts in the comments below.

Love and Cheers!

floor decor!

Do you have wallpaper or stencil on your walls??? I recently came across floor stencils in a blog post over at Apartment Therapy and instantly fell in love with it!

These giant floor stencils reminded me of concrete floors, which are very popular in my lovely home Dominican Republic. They are an affordable way of making floors look nice and colorful without having to break the bank. A color is applied to the concrete and an unpredictable pattern is created.

I began doing research and found these amazing DIY’s: here, here, and here.

Drawing giant stencils on floors is a great technique for those looking to add a creative touch to their living or commercial space whether you have wood or cement floors.

green pot o' gold nails

As promised last week today I deliver another emerald green post. This one was inspired by the leprechaun's pot o' gold which is defined in the dictionary as ultimate success, fulfillment, or happiness.  Amazing words!!! :)

Ultimate success is what I experienced when I launched this blog and my hope that it will continue to grow. Fulfillment I feel every time I post something new. Happiness when I receive great response from family, friends and fans. I have noticed how much you like DIY's so I bring you my first beauty tutorial with green pot o' gold nails - perfect for St. Patricks Day. 

Cheers! ;)

fashion watercolor inspiration

Get inspired with these fashion watercolors by Jessica Durrant, a fashion illustrator that I discovered on Etsy. She specializes in fashion, travel and lifestyle illustrations but what really caught my eye were the fashion illustrations. 

As I read her bio I realize that she is pretty popular. Her illustrations have been featured in many magazines including Glamour and she has collaborated with Target on store visuals.

Check out my favorites from her etsy shop below.
