Let's face it: I am a bit lazy when it comes to getting 'done up.' My daily routine usually consists of tinted moisturizer, a bit of bronzer, a swipe of mascara, and eyeliner if I'm feeling extra daring that day. One trick to make me feel a little more grown up and fancy? A quick swipe of lipstick.

Any of you watch Nashville and Modern Family?? Now I love me some Wednesdays on ABC, but what is up with Suburgatory? Blech...cancel that already. I'm pretty sure the only reason it's still around is because it's wedged between those two shows. I'm ending this conversation right now because I'll launch into a TV tirade if I don't. Anyways, I distracted my eyeballs from a full-on Suburgatory assault with the latest issue of Elle. Specifically, Ginnifer Goodwin's nearly century-old Hollywood home. Girl has got some nice digs! Her wallpaper choices are perfection. I never would have thought to do this in a kitchen (I like them clean, crisp and white), but I am majorly crushing on the high gloss black trim. It's a pretty sexy look....if you think wood trim can be sexy. Which I guess I can. This just got awkward.

Moody, graphic and much more modern than their frilly predecessors, these ain't your Granny's florals. The perfect print to add for spring. Those watercolor floral pants are my favesies.

Remember my DIY upholstered headboard tutorial? In true slow poke fashion, John and I finally got around to adding the nailhead trim that took our headboard out of plain Jane vanilla territory into the "ohmygoshwhydidn'twedothisearlier?" arena. I looooove how it turned out.

While I love a healthy dose of color in an ensemble for day or night, there is no arguing that the simple and bold statement of black and white will never go out of style. Always and forever loving the timelessness of this combo.
