Prettiest Flowers- Lace tulips

Have you seen these pretty tulips around?

You know I absolutely love white tulips, but these ones are just so delicate and ... perfect.

Their petals are lace-like, is just like someone took  some scissors and made hundreds of fringes.

PERFECTION!

Stay inspired!

Easy DIY- Nail-polish Stand/ Organizer

Hello again,

Today I would show you a super fast and easy project. Basically you only need a box, some scissors and some wrapping paper .
Find the middle of your box. I used an old shoebox. From the middle, cut it like in the image below.

Then, just turn the box over and you will have to separate organizing spaces. Just use the box lid to cut some scraps and tape them so that you can raise the ends, to close both of the sides.

Decorate it however you fancy. I used self- adhesive paper becuase I am lazy.

Ta-da! Not the most difficult project, not very "out-of-the-box", but it is very usefull. I will put my nail polishes on one side and my manicure tools and nail treatments on the other sides.

Stay inspired!

Easy Dried Flowers Table Centerpiece

Hello, lovelies!

This weekend all my spring flowers died so I thought I should try something with some pout-pourri and some dried flower that I had in a different arrangement.


This pout-pourri is rose scented and has a lovely, vibrant colour.

A while ago I saved a small cute beer bottle ( not very classy, ha?) and paired it with a plate in the same colour.

The beer bottle is holding a thistle flower that I received in a big flower arrangement.


I think it looks really pretty and it's also scented. The colours fitted perfectly.

The Colour Wheel in Decorating

I've been into colour theory lately and I've started studying as much as I can the colour families and how they are used. I will try to write some posts in the near future experimenting in room design and decor with the different ways to use the colour wheel.

In the colour wheel we have the 3 primary colours: RED, YELLOW and BLUE.
The secondary colours are the ones formed by combining to primary colours: ORANGE, VIOLET, GREEN.
Finally, the tertiary colours are formed by combining  a primary colour  with a secondary one.

With the colour wheel in your mind you can understand what works well and how you can combine them in a room.

We will experiment with all the combinations in the next posts.

Stay inspired!

Home Fragrance- Rose Water Scented Clay Heart




On the 8th of March I received a nice gift that I thought it was just a pretty heart. I had no idea these existed. Apparently they can be found anywhere, I saw them on Ebay. They are scented clays in different shapes and some of them can be hanged.

I'm assuming you can hang them in a dresser, but was so pretty and it fit my bedroom so well, that I hung it on the door key.

I don't know if this one was already scented, but it came with a little spray. You just spray it on the heart and, I must say, it holds the fragrance well, I believe it is the pores in the clay or something.


As far as the scent goes, I love mine, is Rose Water. Is like an old smell, in the best way. Let's say it is a classic. Is is a strong rose scent and it goes well with the roses carved on the heart.


The details are actually really pretty and feminine, very old-school yet again. I think when I will finish the spray I will try to use a different fragrance. I am pretty sure is better to use a clear (no colour) and oil-free perfume to prevent stains.

ID Pieces of Life (2)

I have been having some trouble sleeping lately, so I purchased the Boots Calming Aromatherapy set hoping it will help me.


 Aside from water lilies, white tulips are my favourite flowers. They are just so simple and elegant, having them around the house makes me happy.


These days I wore these a lot, they are really thick (for some reason my feet and legs are always cold) an I love the print. Can anybody explain to me why moustaches are a big thing now? They are really fun to wear around the house- COZZZY!


My fitness plan for this summer is to get rid of my arm fat, actually the skin hanging from the arm. You know, the one that makes you look like you're about to take off and fly when you wave. The fact that these are bright pink make the morning sets easier.


Flowers again. I was a lucky girl these days. <3. 


Stay happy and inspired!
