LOVING Philips HUE

But until then, I’ll be playing with my Philips Hue bulbs.     I never really realized how necessary a hot pink bedroom and bathroom are. Hahaha no but honestly it is so nice to automate the lights. I don’t have to constantly get out of bed to turn them off or feel around blindly as I navigate to the bathroom int he middle of the night. So many toes have been saved from stubbing. So. Many. PLUS, I created a “scene” called Spa Day that is a mix of purple […].

The Velvet Trend.

There is one thing that I am loving lately. The Velvet trend. I have this infatuation with everything velvet. It started when I saw a photo of Gigi Hadid strutting the street in head to ankle denim and these FAB red pointed-toe mid-calf velvet boots. I mean. STATE. MENT.
