Andrew and I are off to my friend’s wedding in Whitehouse Station, NJ.

It was like a Symrise reunion!

I missed these girls so much!!

Congratulations to the beautiful couple!

Oh how I miss hanging out with these two.

Thank you for letting us a part of your special day. What a beautiful day!

When I got the invite for a girls only house warming party at Julie’s, I couldn’t wait to see the house! She and her husband worked on custom building this house, I knew it was going to be good. Really good. What a gorgeous house.

Thank you for a lovely afternoon of delicious food and laughter! My cheeks were sore from laughing so much. Thank you Julie! 

We even took a “prom” picture.

Dress: Sandro

Symrise reunion!

We have another wedding to attend to this evening. Super excited to see all my ex-coworkers and friends tonight!

So glad the weather held up for a lovely outdoor ceremony overlooking beautiful NYC skyline. 

Adorable ring bearer~

Here comes the bride!

Kids, watching their first dance. So cute…

When the DJ invited everyone to join in on the dance floor, Chloe walked in and started doing the muffin dance. My jaw dropped to the floor. LOL!!! Love that girl!!!

We had so much fun tonight!

Congratulations to my beautiful niece! Cheers to the new Mr + Mrs!!

It’s not easy getting the whole family ready after school but we did it on time! We are going to Andrew’s niece’s wedding tonight!

I was buying some make-up @sephora and I thought it was a good idea to get a free makeover…
Then I went to go pick-up the kids right after and Chloe told me to keep sunglasses on… guess too much make-up for school pick-up?

I am so thrilled that 201 Magazine picked up my closet space story in their April issue .

ARTICLE:
Favorite part of your closet: the whole space!

What was the design inspiration (a place, color scheme, favorite clothing item, etc.)?
The room used to be a small bedroom which I converted into my walk-in closet/atelier or design studio for my jewelry business. Since this was to be my own little magic haven, I had the freedom to express my feminine and girly sense of style with an updated, modern spin. The floral wallpaper brightens the room with its flirty pink jewel tones, while the avant-garde brass spike chandelier adds that contemporary edginess to the space.

What was a must-have feature to the space?
The Wallpaper. It set the tone for my inspiration and it was the perfect backdrop to make the room playful and romantic.

Most prized item(s) located in your closet?
The bow knob accents I added to the drawers. Initially I was concerned that it would be too “childish”    (after all they were featured in a nursey room décor), but I adore them! I enjoy incorporating fun elements to my designs and the bow knobs add the perfect dose of cuteness. They make me smile every time I use them. In the end, I think it complements the whole aesthetic of the room perfectly.

Can you estimate how many shoes are in your closet?
I can fit up to 35 pairs of shoes in this space. But I have to confess I have an additional shoe closet in the mudroom …you know for convenience sake. 

Any unique features to the space?
This space also functions as my home office. I am a graphic designer by day and jewelry designer by night (and dream about being an interior designer!). After the kids go to bed, this is where you will find me, catching up on my Netflix, or listening to audiobooks while bringing my jewelry designs to life.

What piece of clothing or accessory did you need the most space for?
Cocktail dresses! I have a weakness for chic, party dresses. I love getting dolled up!

What was the best shopping “find” you added to your space/incorporated into the design?
I purchased the Venzia Dressing Mirror for more than 50% off the original price. It adds such a charming sense of sophistication to the room. And who doesn’t love a great bargain?

How much time do you spend in your closet (when do you spend time in this space)?
A lot. It’s become more than a dressing room. It’s turned into my little sanctuary – a place where I have ME time, where I can relax and where I can have my creativity run free.

A Barbie cake 🙂

There’s she is!
