Find of the Week: Removable Wallpaper

Removable wallpaper?? What the what!? It's like music to my rental home decorator's ears! I'm well aware that I still might have some single rental years ahead of me and of all the things that I think I've missed most about living in a rental home is the freedom to do whatever the hell I want to the walls... no more spackling endless holes where previous renters decided to hang their Bob Marley posters, no more having to stick to "friendly neutrals." I want color. I want texture. I want freedom. And by George, I. WANT. WALLPAPER. Nothing like a little procrastination editorial Internet research to stumble across this jewel: Timothy Sue. It's a company dedicated to removable wallpapers. And the prints are just as magnificent as the idea. Check it out:

Coconino

Sixty Seven

Hearts Apart

Tables and Chairs

My favorite of the collection: Waterways

Perfectly Pink

This image by Gordon Parks has always been one of my favorites. Can't you just feel the joy? And I love how she is dripping from head to toe in the most perfectly pink fuschia. I felt it necessary to find some tangible way to channel this photo.

This lipstick should do the trick.

To a Tee: Sweats and Tees for Spring

Disclaimer: I'm deducting brownie points from myself. When I moved to Denver I vowed that I'd never stop wearing heels and sweatshirts would only be allowed around the house. Never in public. I'm currently in violation of rule one, since I'm wearing flats. I have nothing against a cute pair of flats. But living in a city where marajuana was legalized, "casual" is a slippery slope. Flats are the gateway drug. The next thing you know, you're schlepping around town in a pair of sweaty, hole-ridden leggings and a flannel.

That being said, I was checking my inbox and Nordstrom had a cute roundup of sweats and tees. Delete. Oops, I opened it. And I kinda like. Oy vey. Slipping down the slope. When I think of the people who wear "fashion tees and sweats" this comes to mind:

"I'm Bad." Yes, you are.

Perhaps this can be a redefining moment for all of us who find spending more than $20 on a sweatshirt or tee completely nonsensical and little inappropriate post-training bra age.

Love Potion Tee, Nordstrom

Chrysanthemum Tee, Language of Flowers

My friend, Ramey, introduced me to Language of Flowers, a new London-based tee company. She met the designers on vacation and fell in love with them and their tees. Her lifestyle blog is must read!

Wildfox Sweatshirt, Nordstrom

Since this sweatshirt is so sweet, I'd keep the rest of the look really masculine. 

Cheetah Tee, Marc by Marc Jacobs

Love this tee! Pair it with a bright coral lip (this would be my lipstick of choice) and maybe some leather shorts with some easy espadrilles.

M by MJ Gena Sweatshirt, Nordstrom

I think this one is my fav! It's vintage gym sweats with a fem twist. 

Maje Azebra Sweatshirt, Nordstrom

Not your typical zebra or animal print. 

M by MJ Check Tee, Nordstrom

Love! It reminds me of a chic version of a plastic picnic tablecloth. In theory, that sounds horrible.

Maje Cecilia Sweatshirt, Nordstrom

I'm always a sucker for a little puff sleeve. 

Savoy Terry Pullover, Anthropolgie

The terrycloth makes this special. This would be great with a printed skirt or pair of cigarette pants.

Victoria's Secret Hair How-To

Hello, bombshell (in my best VS British accent).

The Goal

Let's be honest, I might not have Giselle, Heidi, Alessandra, or Miranda's eyes, lips, thighs, stomach, or arms (should I stop the list now?), but I can put up a mean fight to get their hair. And what God didn't give you with texture and thickness, Oribe made up for it with his new(ish) dry texturizing spray. Hands-down my must-have hair product on the market. It's a hairspray meets dry shampoo meets texturizer meets volumizer meets sexy in a can.

The Must-Have

You'll find hundreds of Victoria's Secret hair how-tos online and in magazines. And normally they go something along the lines of, wrap your hair in a 1 1/2-inch curling iron, shake out curls, and voila! Let's just say that look never gave me my angel wings. I came across this one on Allure and it's the best I've found in a while.

My favorite round brushes: Latina Envy (don't hate on the name) and Olivia Garden Round Brush

Easy Accessories with Spring Sundresses

Just doodling around the internet today and kept finding some fun, easy accessories and sundresses that I thought would make great slip on and run out the door outfits. I love finding dresses I can wear to a meeting, throw in a suitcase, or wear out at night.  Plus, the price tag on most of these isn't too bad either. Take a great looking sundress to the next level with a statement bauble and you're good to go.
