Divatosity: Decorating With Flair and Drama



Sometimes, your plain black couch just needs a little flair. Well, in my case, it needed a lot of flair. Up until about 5 days ago, this couch was adorned with simple red twill pillows and a random electric blue throw with the name of a former vendor emblazoned upon it. Once upon a time, the aforementioned red pillows were a nice addition to the demure black couch. 

However, these days my decorating tastes lean towards a lot more flair and drama. I purchased the plush black and white throw from Walmart for about $10-$15. The red decorative pillows cost $13 each at Tuesday Morning, the red ottoman/trunk/coffee table was about $60 at Ross, the black ottoman was a Christmas gift, and the black and white damask chair rang up at $80.00. 

Yet, I cannot put a true value on the way in which these additions to my living room have positively impacted my daily life. I find myself taking more time to quietly reflect upon my day. My mornings are spent slowly savoring simple breakfasts and capping them off with a large cup of ginger pear tea.

8 Travel Shows To Binge Watch On Hulu.com

I have spent a majority of my adulthood traveling throughout the United States. However,  for the next 2 years I am focusing a majority of my financial resources on paying off my student loans. Good thing there are plenty of travel shows on Hulu.com. Below is a list of the shows that I discovered browsing Hulu.com.  These 8 travel shows are no means the only great ones on Hulu.com. The list is so exhaustive that it will take me another few blogposts to name them all. In addition, several of these shows are from the mid- 2000's and some are no longer airing new episodes. 1. Rick Steves 2. Kimchi Chronicles 3. Cruises To A World Of Discovery 4. Anthony Bourdain A Cook's Tour No Reservations The Layover 5. Avec Eric 6. City By City 7. Word Travels 8.

Divatosity: Striped Palettes Are So Much Fun!

This color palette is a good precursor for Spring...which cannot get to the Midwest soon enough. This color palette makes me want to sit outside on the patio of a bistro. I imagine myself seated on an elegant black wrought iron chair surrounded by dear friends.
