HomeGoods StyleScope - I'm a Bohemian Eclectic

Posted using ShareThis

Erika, you are a Bohemian Eclectic

You have wide-ranging interests and influences and so appreciate a mix of styles, cultures, periods, and objects. You would never use a matching suite of furniture or want a home that seemed cookie-cutter. You have an artist's eye that enables you to mix the old or the unusual with the new and modern. When traveling, you seek out unique objects that reflect what you love, and you use them in a sophisticated way. Your home is visually intriguing and comfortable, with a delightful mix of cozy chairs, ethnic fabrics, elegant pieces, hand-made items, even a little touch of quirk or humor, all of which gives your place a laid-back, Bohemian feel.

You value comfort. Your home is a warm and open friendly place, and you feel happiest when everyone is cared for and relaxed in your space. Elements like pillows, throws, overstuffed furniture, and good lighting set the mood. You may also enjoy layering different fabrics or mixing patterns to create a cozy effect.

Putting Your Style to Work!
With your style and needs in mind, here are a few tips that will help you make your home a little happier.

1. Your Design Challenge: ORGANIZE The front hall sets the mood for your entire home. Consider how to accommodate all the room's functions as beautifully as possible. At the very least you need a console, and if you're short on storage, consider a dresser. Outfit the surface with nice trays and bowls for mail, keys and sunglasses. Keep a trash can for immediately tossing the junk mail. Closet-door or wall hooks encourage coat and bag hanging rather than dumping. If you have children, try to give each a basket in the closet for hats and gloves. It's nice to have a chair or bench for changing shoes, a mirror for last-minute lipstick checks, and a lamp or sconces for warm light.

2. Your Happy Place Choose a color or two that harmonizes with the tableware you already own, and collect things like linens, glasses, dessert plates, or platters in those hues. This is a fantastic way to liven up a plain, white table setting. And if you can, set the table the night before a dinner party, so you can really take pleasure in tending to the details.

3. Be Party-Ready All the Time! Drink: The simplest and chicest thing is to have a drinks tray or table always set up. Include a mix of pretty glasses, an ice bucket, a lovely pitcher, and bottles of soda and water. When the bell rings, just add ice and limes.

Food: Devote space in your pantry or on a shelf for go-to party essentials: crackers, dip, chips, nuts—whatever you like to serve. Keep on hand a collection of attractive bowls and cocktail napkins, and you'll be able to set a spread—instantly!

Mood: Nice, flattering light makes us feel good. So nix the harsh, direct light from overhead fixtures in favor of the softer glow from floor and table lamps. Also, keep some votive candles and a couple of hurricane lanterns for setting around the room.

Scent: The first thing you notice about a home is how it smells. Use naturally fragrant cleaning products. If you find a scented candle or fresh potpourri you love, stock up on it. Any scent you like, whether perfume or linen spray, can be used on upholstery, bedding or just spritzed into the air.
You know your style.

Behind The Scenes

Here are some pictures from the short film I worked on. More pictures here.

Gossip Girl Decor

Stole this from Apartment Therapy which apparently stole it from another site. It's Serena's bedroom. It would be a fun task to find alternatives. I thought they didn't really provide very good ones IMHO. When I saw the show the other night the lamps were not the Kartell ones though. Hmmmmm

Short Film Wardrobe Styling

I will be doing the wardrobe styling for a short film this weekend. I am super eger to put my talents to work. Hopefully I will be able to keep you updated if permitted.
:)

Pretty Glassware

Just got these super pretty glasses on sale for approx. $4 a piece (including tax) I love them!

Lux Tux

This See by Chloe Tuxedo Jacket is currently full price on Saks Fifth Avenue online. Just scored it for next to nothing! Having fun pairing it with whats in my closet. How would you wear it?

Beauty Bar 4.30.9

Somewhat recovered from my wounds. My nose still hurts and I have some abrasions that haven't competently healed. Kept it easy that night, but it was good to see some familiar faces. Also the support was much appreciated <3 :)

New Glasses

Since my old glasses (Rayban Wayfarers) got trashed. I HAD to buy a new pair because I don't like going blind. I decided to get something new. Check these babies out. Now all I need is to get the proscription filled. So far I really dig them! I think they are pretty cute!

Face Smashed

Sorry I couldn't make the Fashion Show this Sat but this happened :(

Today I went to the ER and got an MRI so luckily it came out clear. I'm in sooooo much pain, but they wouldn't give me any meds. SUCKS! Ibuprofen does not do it! It even hurts to lay down or do anything! Sucks!
MY FACE GOT SMASHED and so did my Glasses. My wrist and knee, teeth, lips and other aches are also bumming me out.

I have NO glasses. I can't see AT ALL without them! I'm also completely out contacts too so basically I'm blind and in pain.

So if you'd like to be a pal and help me out! You = my hero!

Sorry about missing out on the Fashion Show but I couldn't help it :(

MORE Black Heart Bunny News

Black Heart Bunny was featured in the cute as a button blog, Hey I Found This.

I am also proud to announce that Black Heart Bunny is now sold on Stars and Infinite Darkness. I have loved this site since it was known as Virgin Threads. Unfortunately they had to change their name (long story) but the site is just as awesome as ever. They have some of the best indie designers and now Black Heart Bunny is included among them!



Also I'm running a huge clearance sale on my Etsy Site! I have lots of new stuff coming soon so I have to make room! Lots of great deals! Lots of items are ONE OF A KIND!

Friday Trash Talk

Courtney Love& Madonna


Never mind all the blah blah blah

You know what I'm talking about.

I think this video is directed by David la Chapelle but it reminds me of John Waters and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Which I'm sure is the point.

Great product shot.

Also I'm oddly attracted to these "Trash" shoes. They are all different and cost way too much. I really love the "Indian" picture. Probably politically incorrect but reminds me of Disney's Peter Pan. I'm pretty sure anyone can DYI these with ones on favorite scraps and some glue and collage paste stuff, I forget the name now. Yeeeeeeaaaaaah. Do it Bob Rauschenberg style.

Celebrity hearts Black Heart Bunny

I just realized a Prime Time TV Actress has ordered this item from my Smashing Darling boutique!

I know it has to be her because her stylist often suggests items from Smashing Darling!

What do I do? I want to ask her if its ok for me to disclose the fact that she bought my dress. Maybe even bribe her with a free gift so I can get a picture of her wearing the dress? Now that my computer is working I'll ask the ladies of Smashing Darling what to do!

I also have to tell the lovely actress it's back ordered b/c its super popular so probably won't be getting it till Monday :x

The funny thing is the actress actually looks a bit like the model wearing the dress, Ms Shannon ;)

FYI Still running the Smashing Darling Promo!

To get a 15% discount use promo code: BHBLOVE

If you want this dress I can PROBABLY get it to to you by Monday if you order today or else you may have to wait it week or so :)
