Scents of Summer

Posted by kristimalone in Makeup and tagged with ,

I don’t often write about perfume…perhaps because it’s a little hard to convey the fabulosity of a scent through words. When I stumbled upon Lilly Pulitzer’s Squeeze perfume this weekend in a department store, I knew I at least had to give it a shot! I am pretty simple when it comes to perfumes…I’m not sensitive, I like most everything, but I don’t ever really love any particular one. But Squeeze was like the most fresh burst of summer I had ever experienced! The citrus and floral mixture is done to perfection, so perfect in fact I think you would still be able to wear it well into the fall season.

Decorating with a Dash of Palm Beach

Posted by kristimalone in Decor and tagged with

I have a new growing obsession, interior design. It probably has something to do with our little rental home that needs a swift kick in the design pants. What’s more, is that there is something so exciting about combing through the millions of options and directions you could go, and then letting your style be expressed in the place you feel the most comfortable…home. And in our case there is an added challenge. Since we rent, we cannot paint and it’s senseless to make any additions you can’t take with you. So every now and again I will be posting about my progress in this venture on our sweet little casa!

Growing up a Florida girl I lived and breathed Lilly Pulitzer. Since we are both Palm Beach girls, I naturally feel a tug toward her designs. As expensive as they may be, I was super delighted to discover her collection of things for the home. It will give me some great ideas to pull from. Below are some of my favorites that I’m looking to incorporate the essence of, into our house.

I love the wall paper selection against the bright painted wall. I’m also obsessed with the new trend of the all white chandelier and the all white table set.

This has got to be the happiest couch I have ever seen.

 These bar stools would make a phenomenal pop to any kitchen ensemble.

I really like the contrast of the chic desk and bright walls, paired with the masculinity of the animal print rug. {a fake, is of course a must!}

 

I love how ‘back in the day’ Florida this bench/coffee table is. So multi purpose!

 

This is such a classy couch/daybed setup. So old Hollywood.

 

This end table really reminds me of a Florida home. I just love the esthetics.

 

Seeing as I’m in love with all of this, yet can barely afford a throw pillow, I have my work cut out for me in just using the ‘idea’! Happy Decorating!
