Bridal Shower Fun + Floral letters..

One of my best friends Michelle is getting married this coming April, so of course her bridesmaids threw her an awesome bridal shower at my mothers house! The queenie was loving a kate spade theme, stripes, polka dots, black, white, gold and pink! We had an adorableeee mimosa bar, mashed potato bar, sweets bar & played bridal bingo ; )

One of my little projects was something I came across on Pinterest and have been wanting to do, I’d eventually like to do something just like my “inspiration” picture in my closet around my vanity area. So getting to try it out for Michelle’s party was fun. I bought some different colored and sized faux flowers, cut them off the stems and hot glued them randomly, it was super easy and turned out really cute! I’ll have to fill you guys in when I do the one for my closet, second times a charm ; )

Top Four Shopping Apps

Anyone who knows me, knows it’s no secret I may have a little shopping problem! shopping, is a good idea when your happy, sad, mad, when you wake up at 3 am and can’t go back to sleep for a hour (this is the most dangerous), when you’ve had a super bad, or good day at work, have somewhere special to go, or when your bored and there’s nothing else to do! Basically, shopping is the best idea ever, ALL the time, it’s always necessary and let’s be honest, there’s always something else you need ; ) Don’t even kid yourself people!

As if I’m already not in enough trouble with this situation, there’s four little apps that I visit religiously (and you should too) because they are the best! Threw of these are short sale apps, meaning every single day they have new sales, most will last a few days and they sell out like crazy! You know how sometimes on websites you’ll build your little cart up, go to checkout and by the time you end up filling out your card info you’ve came to your senses and realized you don’t need 5 of the 10 things you put there because you’ve had time to rationalize it? Not here! If you want it you gotta get it ASAP or its gone! They even go ahead and make it more convenient for you by having all your card info on file, so all you have to do is hit purchase! oopssss! (It’s great)
Here they are and here’s whyyy I love them…

1) Gilt- This one is your go to for designer things, we’re talking shoes, clothes and purses! They’ll have things like Chanel, Louie, Prada and other expensive bags! They will mark them down to amazinggggg prices so when they post these you have to jump, literally they are gone within the first 30 minutes, not even kidding. I don’t ever really end up ordering a ton of apparel or accessories from this app, I tend to lean more towards their home section because they have great finds & I can’t decide to spend $1,000 in a millisecond for a bag (That’s normally something I ponder over for a good month)! My house was basically decorated using this app & the one I’m about to explain below.

2) Joss & Main – Holy. Decorating. Heaven. For real I can’t deal with this app!! There’s not too much to say here other then just do yourself a favor and download it if your in the process of decorating your home or your just constantly into switchingb things up! Some people get really nervous about ordering online but it’s not that complicated, grab yourself a tape measure and roll with it if it’s something you like, because trust me you won’t find it anywhere else for that price! I know another issue some have is that things won’t look the same in person, as I said before, most of the things in my house are from here and I have yet to be disappointed even once. From my experience what you see is what you get and most of the pieces have pictures from every angle.

3) Haute Look – Whatever fancy way you want to say it (I am obnoxious and call it hot look) This is my go to app, my mother will cringe when she reads this, but I probably get more things delivered from here then I do mail! You can notttt beat the shoes and clothes on here! I find gilt to be a little pricey, so haute look wins me over more! This is pretty much the only place besides a few boutiques that I get shoes from anymore, boots, heels and sandals (that last) for anywhere between $30-$70. They have great sales for men on this one too, you could seriously stockkkkk up on clothes and shoes for your son, brother, boyfriend, or husband (if you download this you’ll be thanking me later when christmas and birthdays roll around). Lastly the home decor section on this app is fabulous too, I’ve ordered from here several times! This app basically gets the favorite position!

4) Etsy- who doesn’t love etsy?! I mean you can find absolutely ANYTHING you could ever want on here! I’ve ordered everything from planners, party decor, invitations, dog bows, hair accessories, scarves, house decor and furniture! This is just the best for finding unique/custom things you don’t see anywhere else!

A smidge late… Halloween mantle

We’ll keep this one short and sweet since there isn’t really too much to elaborate on but giving you guys a creative little idea…. Every Holiday my favorite thing to decorate is my mantle! October is my absolute favorite month of the year and in turn halloween is my favorite holiday. (Besides christmas & that’s only because who doesn’t love getting loads of presents?!) I may have gotten a little lazy with it this year, but every Destrehan swamp girl knows a little moss can go a longggg way ; )
