Beautiful Distractions

Beautiful Distractions No. 2

July 20, 2016

Nothing like some mid-week distractions to really pass the day away. Am I right? Every morning and evening I’m perusing Pinterest, reading blog posts, scanning new catalog and magazine arrivals, and ooohing and aaahing over pretty things. Sometimes I share them on Snapchat (like my spa night last Saturday or my blunders in self-tanning), but most of the time, you never get to hear what I’m really loving right now…this very instant. That’s what Beautiful Distractions are all about.

Beautiful Distractions by House Of Hipsters

The movie The Edge of Seventeen might squeak its way into my Top 5 favorites which are: Amelie, Rushmore (really anything Wes Anderson touches except Life Aquatic…I soooooo didn’t understand that one), Election, Cherish, and Empire Records (“Damn the man, save the Empire!”). If you haven’t seen these, I highly suggest you start streaming your Netflix and settle in for a sesh on your favorite sofa. These classics for me were LIFE CHANGING! Oh, and if you actually watch this trailer, earmuff your kids…name that flick.

Time is running out, so be sure to drop a comment over on this post if you haven’t already. I’m making over the living room in the new house and letting YOU choose which design I move forward with. Right now Neutral Glam seems to be in the lead, but you can always change that. Quite honestly, I think I’m nuts for signing up for this and totally losing control.

Who doesn’t want themselves a banana leaf pillow. They are oh so Dorothy Draper, but most of the time they can cost $100 or more. Eh-hem, I found em for $29 right here y’all! Don’t ever say I don’t share my secrets with you. I’m also digging this little white and navy number with hot pink piping on the edge.

I bought a new candle that I’m burning practically 24/7. Scratch and sniff tablets would be beneficial right now, but trust me, if you love perfume-y Anthro type candles, you’ll love the scent.

A recent discovery — The Urban Cowboy Bed & Breakfast. A place where you arrive as strangers and leave as friends. John Travolta bonding is not included, but they’ve got vintage on lock. This might replace actually Camp Wandawega.

Obsessed with this basket! (SOLD OUT) It would be a lie if I told you I didn’t just see the UPS man, and I’m dying to open the box and it’s quite possible I’m presently jumping up and down, clapping like a kid…now THAT was a run-on sentence.

And I’ll leave you with a little SHARK-ira as long as you promise before you leave to tell me your Top 5 favorite movies…and go!

    Hi friend! I just checked out Camp Wandawega and Urban Cowboy, so great! I could totally use an escape right now! We’re planning a trip this fall to Foxfire Mountain House, check them out if you get a chance. Everything they do – amazing!

      Election is hilarious and really should have been a bigger hit. It’s kind of obscure.

I started decorating Zozo’s bedroom but never finished. Since, she’s decided she no longer likes pink. “Mom, can I get a blue bed?” @jcpenney helped me find a comprise that was not only blue but also affordable and very much this little lady’s bohemian’s style. The bedding and pillows are all from the new Distant Lands Collection. She’s obsessed with the tiger print pillow and the tassels. Side note, she is not a top sheet gal which I’ve been hearing more and more people talk about this. Do you sleep with a top sheet or no? Inquiring minds what to know. SPONSORED

SWIPE 👆🏻 Finally loving the living room again. Although I’m still missing the built ins. I shopped the @serenaandlily sale for that tray and blanket - there’s a whole round up of favorites over on HouseOfHipsters.com - and I love how the blanket balances out the green chair and the tray softens the black coffee table. What do you think of the new look? #liketkit #LTKhome #LTKsalealert @shop.ltk https://liketk.it/3G7VE

(AD) SWIPE FOR ROOM REFRESH 👉🏻 If you’ve been watching Stories that you know I’ve been working hard on this room and I gotta give a shoutout to @JaipurLiving for the new rug in their #KLwithJaipurLiving collection. This is Davina from their new collection with Kate Lester @klinteriors and it really brightened up the entire space. Although they recently showed this one with Harman layered over the top and it’s absolutely dreamy. If you haven’t seen the full collection, head over to their profile and check it out or tap the link below to shop the collection on @rugs_direct. While your there, give them a follow and tell ‘em I say hi. http://bit.ly/3tZgE8p
