Sunday Style in Seven - Things that Sparkle

I'm very excited to introduce a new guest post series here at Bijou and Boheme.

Called Sunday Style in Seven, each week will feature one very stylish blogger who will describe their style in 7 pictures {we all know my love for all things 7.}
And by style, I mean anything from art to fashion to music to travel to decor....whatever that blogger feels best shows their design cachet.

I'm thrilled to start this series with one of the most stylish girls in blogland....Alex of
Things that Sparkle.

I am always inspired by her blog and through many an email exchange, have pretty much decided this lady is my design soul sister.

So since it's Sunday, grab a coffee, relax and enjoy her Style in Seven!

Christine, thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your new series!  This was so much fun!!  So here they are, seven images that define my style...WARNING: I definine my style very loosely!



This is one of my favorite pieces of art by Lynn Geesaman. Its so feminine and soft, but has so many unexpected pops of colors. I definitely wouldn't describe my style as outdoorsy (actually really far from it), but after 4 years in college in Colorado and the rest of my life surrounded by Lake Michigan, I have a real appreciation for nature and how freaking gorgeous it can be. Especially flowers. Is there anything better than fresh flowers in your house??

This picture perfectly shows the style in which I live. Comfort, pure comfort. With a teensy bit of glamy goodness. I love gorgeous, glamorous interiors, but at the end of the day, I want my own house to be one I can cuddle up to and never have to leave. Fur throws, comforters, and pillows are all musts.

I love to travel. I live my life always thinking of the next exciting place I can visit! My travel style? To try to go somewhere I've never been (like Santa Margherita, in the picture above, this past summer) and go with people I love. And if I'm lucky, save a little money to shop along the way.

Although most of the dinner parties I throw don't look like this, I still love to entertain. I think the best possible way to spend a Saturday night is with family and friends, at your own house, with a meal you have all contributed to and hopefully a beautiful table to compliment it. Don't get me wrong, I like to go out and have fun, but my ideal "social style" is encapsulated right here.

This picture portrays my fashion style... seem ridiculous? Well, I love pink. Love love love it. I love girly, ruffley amazingness. And I adore getting all glammed up. The problem? I like to be comfortable, so pretty much every single time I get dressed up, I end up barefoot, with my hair in a bun. Oops.

This picture from Elle Decor perfectly sums up my interior design style. Incredible art. Subdued colors scheme, with pops of color as accents. Glamorous but approachable. Contemporary but filled with history. Some patterns but more solids. I just love it all.

This image from one of my fellow blogger's closets pretty perfectly sums up the way I live. I like organization, but I want things to feel lived in. Bags and shoes on the floor are realistic but color coordination and perfect hanging makes me smile. Although my closet doesn't look quite this pretty, I think it sums up on living style pretty well!

.......

Thank you so much to Alex for starting this series off with such panache.
And I'll see you back here next Sunday when another blogger attempts to sum up their style in seven.
