My Favorite Closets

My girlfriend just bought a new house and her closet is huge (unlike my tiny little one) so I started dreaming about I want my next closet to look like.  Too bad I would have to convert our entire Master Bedroom in order to have one of these... I am also loving some of the things inside these closets!!

Beauty Tips by Audrey Hepburn

I received an email last week from one of my girlfriends, Katherine, "Beauty Tips by Audrey Hepburn."  Being married to a Dermatologist, she is of course beautiful on the outside, but more importantly she is beautiful on the inside. We all know people who touch our hearts by the goodness they share.  This is a great message to forward on to people as a reminder that beauty starts from the inside and shines out. Happy Monday Everyone!  -tessa

March Tablescape

I LOVE the color green so I couldn't decide between these 2 inspiration boards for this month's tablescape.  If you don't own a set of bamboo flatware, don't walk...run... and get a couple sets.  I found mine at Horchow on sale a few years ago, but I've seen them at Target and Home Goods for about $19.99/set.  I use mine all the time.  In fact, my girlfriends Carmen and Laura have a couple sets too..perfect for sharing at bigger dinner parties.  My jaw dropped when I found these incredible Kate Spade dishes at Macy's.. (I wish I would've found the zebra one for last month's tablescape!)  The gold wing bottle stopper is a great hostess gift from Modern Chic Home...and at only about $14...you should keep a couple in your "gift closet!" The ruffled tablecloth from Horchow is new and absolutely darling.  It is perfect for spring...very Anthro-ish.  I found the black tassel napkin rings on a great new site I stumbled on...The Picket Fence.
Since it's March, I will pull some fun St. Patty's Day ideas as well.... Happy March Everyone!!
