These floral wall hangings were another DIY I made for my sister’s graduation party. This is a very inexpensive, and easy DIY for party decorations that can really add a wow factor to your party. We are going to hang these over a sheeted board as a fun backdrop for a photo booth! I am definitely saving these for future bridal showers, baby showers, and parties.
Mississippi Avenue is a vibrant North Portland neighborhood with tons of cute shops and fun restaurants. Just a few years ago, the area had a bad rap, but many of the shop owners saw potential in the historic storefronts. With help from the Rebuilding Center on Mississippi, many of the storefronts were renovated with secondhand materials from old Portland buildings. In a short amount of time, Mississippi has quickly become a thriving Portland destination with a ton of foot traffic!
My little sister who is graduating in a few weeks, asked me to DIY some decorations for her party. She loved these hanging flower poms. She loves pretty flowers and girly colors so I bought some brightly colored artificial flowers from Walmart for these poms. What’s great about this DIY is that once you have made them, you can store them to use for other events! They’re the perfect decoration for a baby shower, bridal shower, or a girl’s birthday party.
I have been seeing a lot of people posting about the Nordstrom Half Yearly sale and I though it would be fun to put together my favorites. This sale is up to 40% off and ends June 4th, so there is just enough time to snag a few hot items. All of Nordstrom’s items are of good quality and definitely worth the price. Click through to shop my favorites!
Rome is an amazing city with so much history. You have to visit Rome on a trip to Italy! I got the chance to spend a three day weekend in Rome with my best friend Elle. We took a train from Florence, Italy and stayed at the Hostel Alessandro Downtown. The following is a list of my top five must see places in Rome, although there are of course many more.
Summer has finally arrived in the Pacific Northwest and I seriously could not be more thrilled! I am definitely a warm weather kind of gal. I was really excited to finally be able to whip out some of the summer dresses I bought months ago in anticipation of sunny days.
Located in the lobby of the Society Hotel, this coffee spot is a total gem! The Society Cafe is also a lounge and bar that serves coffee, fresh pastries, beer from local breweries, and some of the best wine in the Chehalem Valley. I really love their chai latte; it’s not too spicy and not too sweet. It’s just perfect! The lounge is very roomy with sofas and window seating. I love the blue/grey cabinetry, marble counters and tables, and the wooden accents.
I have been seeing this hanging shelf DIY all over Pinterest and I decided to give it my own spin! If DIY’s are tricky for you, don’t worry! It’s really easy to make and super adorable. You can hang this shelf in any room for a little extra cuteness and mid-century modern vibes. I love that you can style it any way you want with some books, plants, or knick-knacks.
An island located in the bay of Naples, Italy, Capri is famous for it’s high end shopping, upscale hotels, and limoncello! Beautiful grottos and natural rock formations can be found all around the island. Lemon trees line the charming streets and neighborhoods, leaving the most pleasant citrus aroma. In the summer, the coast line is surrounded by yachts and cruise ships. Capri is a popular destination and one that should definitely be on your travel list!
The Alberta Arts District is a neighborhood in Portland, Oregon that stretches from Williams Ave to 33rd Ave. Since it is one of the oldest sections of Portland, it’s extremely independent and diverse. It’s lined with shops, restaurants, bars, and galleries. There is something for everyone! Walking down the street, you’ll see murals everywhere making this neighborhood colorful and vibrant. My favorite section is from 14th to 23rd! This is a guide to Alberta Street that I have compiled with all of my favorite spots.
