    Bathroom Redo

      We decided to give our downstairs half bathroom a little revamp. And we only spent $150! First we painted the dingy “white” walls with a really pretty blue. We only painted two of the walls so that the room wouldn’t become too dark. We painted the other two walls with a fresh coat of white paint. Adam found this wooden cabinet on the sidewalk and I decided to paint it light grey. What a difference a few coats of paint makes! The cabinet now has a shabby chic feel and is great for storage space. We hung a painting, put down a new rug, and brought in a few…

    Favorite look of the week

    My favorite look of the week is hands down this adorable Leopard print dress from Starrdom Boutique. I paired it with the Panama Hat (Also from Starrdom Boutique) and white sneakers from Tilly’s. This is a super easy transition into cooler weather. I’m from Los Angeles, so it literally just started turning into Fall weather with temps in the 80’s. As it cools down even more, this dress can be paired with a denim jacket, moto jacket, Long cardigan, Booties, over the knee boots, you name it, the possibilities are endless! Don’t forget, you can use my discount code: STARRJOY20 for 20% off these already super affordable items (and everything…

    We Eloped During the Pandemic!

    I am sure you all know by now that I am officially a married woman! Wohoo! After 20 + years, Adam and I finally tied the knot! And as I am sure that you ALSO all know, our wedding did not go as planned! LOL! We originally decided to get married at Adam’s Grandma’s house. She has a massive backyard surrounded by these beautiful trees and plants. It’s a very special place for us (His parents even got married there as well). We planned a very small wedding ceremony of about 25 people. We budgeted everything under $3k (which I am quite proud of by the way) and were good…
