The Decorista tip of the day...gift wrap with style!

Be like Tori Spellings mama, Candi, and get to gift wrapping!
There is something so chic about incredibly well wrapped gifts.
I personally prefer to stick with a theme or a color story, it makes it so much more memorable.

So, this weekend, plan in advance for some mega stylin' gift wrapping action!
Don't be afraid to get creative and use wallpapers, newspapers, comics, maps, burlap, contact paper, etc.  The more metallics and sparkle you use, the better. There are so many different options.
Be bold and have fun!

i'm crushing on... beautiful pendant lamps

Ever since I found Tori Spelling's beautiful kitchen I cannot stop obsessing over 
beautiful pendant lamps in the kitchen/dining areas.
 Lighting is a huge design basic, but I don't spend nearly as much time adoring them as I should.
These are super glamorous yet industrial chic looking...I just can't get enough.
love.
