WHY DON'T YOU...?

...paint your nails navy blue? Joanna recommends Essie's "Midnight Cami."
...monogram a sweater? This one will cost you a pretty penny but you can get the same look by adding a $10 monogram to this sweater.
...pair classic navy stripes with playful gold baubles? (And check out my list of must-have jewelry here!)
...class up your morning coffee run? I'm eyeing this J.Crew jacket to recreate Olivia Palermo's effortless look.
...tie a bow in your hair? The weekend is the perfect time to go all-out girly. 

My brother and sister are coming home from college this weekend and I couldn't be more excited to catch up and spend some quality time together! What are your plans? Have a good one!

AROUND THE HOUSE

Pairing colors for a new product I'm working on // My new favorite planner and pen
Coach and Rory's usual perch // New turquoise tray on my bedside table
Pillows galore // Tidying my closet and realizing just how much blue I really own

I think most people who read my blog would be surprised at how messy I am in real life. While I'm drawn to organized office spaces, my own is absolutely out of control, especially with new inventory for the holidays arriving each day. Maybe I'll start a new organizing feature here on the blog? In the mean time, do tell me: Are you messy or tidy? What are the most and least organized spaces in your home? Where could you use the most help?
