Room to Style

I love both interiors and fashion. It's always fantastic when the two collide. I've made a Room to Style post. I took this sensational room and turned into an outfit. 

So would you rather have the room or the outfit (or both)?

Midnight

I can't believe 2012 is almost upon us. I'm ready to celebrate a fantastic year past and drink in the new year. We're having an intimate night-in with our closest friends. I am excited to dress the home in some festive decor. I'm going with gold, black, white, sparkles, glitter, sequins, and more sparkles. Here's to a new year!

Pour me another glass.

I need sequins, more sequins. And festive balloons.

I dream of anything from Confetti Systems but I think I might be crafty enough to make my own banner. But where to put it in my house? I do already have some champagne, NYE hats and noise makers.

do it

I received two items for Christmas that I've been longing for. I got a pair of faux leather leggings and a faux fur vest. I guess I like the look of animals (not real ones that have been killed for my clothing purposes. faux only). I enjoy testing current fashion trends. I've already rocked my fur vest and can't wait to wear it again (denim, oatmeal lace sweater, chambray shirt and fur vest). My boyfriend called me "Icelandic Fur Trader Meg" the entire time while I wore my vest too. Now I have to style my leather leggings. These present a bit more of a challenge. But I've accepted it and I'll find the perfect outfit very soon. Are you rocking either of these trends?

Bates Masi Architects

As the years go on, I keep moving towards cleaner, more modern architecture and interiors. I've currently fallen in love with the Robins Way Residence by Bates Masi Architects. Can we talk about the entire back of the house and its windows? Yes, please. I'd like this home moved to somewhere of my liking. I'd add a few different interior touches of my own but the bones of this house are just lovely. Would you move in?

White Christmas - Friday's Fancies

Merry Christmas! I'm at home with my family and my boyfriend. It's a lovely Christmas at the McDevitt household. I'm a day late in posting my Friday's Fancies over at {long distance loving} but at least I'm getting around to it now. Have a fabulous holiday!

hot cocca

I can't believe Christmas is just around the corner. I'm still waiting for it feel like the holidays. I'm not sure what I'm expecting though. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon. I am happy to report that I've already completed my shopping and all the gifts are wrapped under the tree. And by under the tree, I mean under the coffee table where our potted 24" tree resides. Our house is festive but not over the top. I really am enjoying it. If only we had a fireplace then our house would be perfect for this season. It's on my wishlist for the next place. Hope your holidays are joyful.

What are you plans this holiday? The boy and I are heading up to my parent's house. I'm giddy that I get to spend Christmas with Joel this year. What a perfect Christmas gift. I can't wait to eat lots of food, surround myself with all the ones I love and check out some awesome movies. Seeing a Christmas movie is a tradition in the McDevitt household. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Sparkle and Shine - Friday's Fancies

I'm pretty excited about today's Friday's Fancies on {long distance loving}. Who doesn't love some sparkle and shine this time of the year? I decided to go with a more subtle glitter and jeweled look. This can be your sparkle day look. Basically, I want those shoes...oh, and handbag, necklace, nail polish, all of it. How do you sparkle this time of the year?

Organic + Modern

I'm a little addicted to Pinterest (probably like you).  While I was pinning away this evening, I noticed something. There is a distinctive Organic + Modern vibe on my "Lovely Home" board.  It's very apparent to spot the pattens among the pins. So without further ado, take a look at some of the warm/earthy and streamlined/clean interiors I've pinned. What are some of the trends or pattens you've pinned?

Holiday Time

We've been busy with holiday parties for the last couple weekends. We can cross an Ugly Sweater and Christmas Cocktail party off our holiday party list. Sadly, Joel and I never took a picture together last night while looking classy. I opted for a different dress than usual this year. It was a blush, tunic style, sheer sleeve dress. I added pearls, black nylons, an outrageous ring, and black wedges to round it out. The dress was great because I ate too much food and it wasn't a tight, bondage dress that I originally thought about wearing. So how was your weekend?

 My legs blend into the oven. They are there somewhere...I swear.

How are your holiday festivities going so far?

Holida Party - Friday's Fancies

I'm so glad it's Friday again! I am looking forward to this weekend. I'll be doing some holiday shopping, checking out the Portland Bazaar and attending a holiday cocktail party! To celebrate Friday, we are over at {long distance loving} for our Friday's Fancies. I just love creating these. This week it's all about the holiday parties. I've created the perfect, modern party attire. I'm going for a similar look but I'll be rocking a blush dress and sheer sleeves with this bold, pearl necklace. I can't wait! What do you have planned this weekend? Any holiday parties for you?

brrrr

This time of the year is so beautiful. I love all the mostly cheerful people, Christmas lights, celebrating with family, sparkles, warm drinks and all the love. The winter would really be a fantastic time for a wedding. Let's take a stroll down the snowy path of winter weddings. Would/did you even consider a winter wedding?

golden

 I adore gold. It might just be up there in my favorite color category. I love it even more during this time of the year. Maybe it's all the holiday festivities and the perfect excuse to wear an extravagant gold sequin dress. I've complied some of my favorite and lust worthy gold items. How do you feel about this lovely color?

paper bag

Kraft paper is one of my favorite materials to use. It's my go to for wrapping gifts every time. You can add many new elements to the wrapping and it can look completely different. Very versatile. And every single wedding invitation that uses kraft paper tends to be my favorite I've ever seen. Needless to say, the "paper bag" color is my favorite at Paper Source.  Do you love kraft paper? How do you use it? Well, I'm off to cut up some Trader Joe's bag to make some festive paper chains now.

buy a roll here. 

Here are some of my favorite uses for such a simple material.
