She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not: A Newfound Treasure

Wednesday is here again and I couldn't be more thrilled to introduce you to yet another stylish design and fashion blogger.  Meet Anna of A Newfound Treasure

She's a stylish girl after my own heart who lives and breathes interior design, fashion, photography, DIY projects & thrifty finds. She's also sweet as pie and showcases incredible pictures filled with inspiration over at her blog. Let's hear what she's loving and what she's not this week!

Hey y'all! It's Anna here from A Newfound Treasure. I was so thrilled when sweet Michaela asked me to share my likes and dislikes as of late. I kept things centered around decorating and fashion. Easy, since those are my 2 loves and the main focus of my blog…

She Loves Me:

1. Suzani. A boho vibe is right up my alley.

2. Art. Whether an abstract or nude sketch, you can never have too much art. Gallery walls are a great way to display loads of your favorite pieces.

But sometimes a single, oversized canvas is the perfect addition to a space.

3. Gold. Specifically gold leafing. Gaaahh-orgeous!

Or a touch of gold. Such as:

Or an arm party of gold… either way, gold takes the win any day, every day.

4. Dark Walls. So moody, I just can't get enough!

5. Dye. The look of watercolor-everything or anything that has been splattered with / dipped in ink of some sort has me swooning!

She Loves Me Not:

1. Shabby Chic. Not a fan, at all.

2. Trend fail. While florals are in, this dress is the worst thing I've ever seen. What's worse is that it is sold out… people actually bought this!

3. Cats. More like hate. And I'm allergic.

4. Rude people. No one likes a grump!

Thanks for letting me crash the blog today! If you like what you see from me, check out more at A Newfound Treasure. I look forward to seeing you there…


XOXO

Thank you so much, friend! I think you hit on so many of my current loves! Gold leaf is topping the charts. And I hate to say it, but kitty's just aren't totally my thing either. Dogs all the way for this girl :)


Stop by A Newfound Treasure today to say hello to Anna!


Happy Wednesday! What are you loving this week?!
Love,

She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not: The Peak of Tres Chic

This Wednesday, one of my new favorite blog gals is here sharing the things she's loving and the things that rub her the wrong way. Meet Sam from The Peak of Tres Chic

Sam is so stylish and offers a fresh perspective on all things design! She's endeavoring into interior design school soon, and I'm so excited for her :) You're sure to enjoy her sweet personality...take it away, Sam!

Hi there lovelies!  This is Sam from The Peak of Tres Chic, and I couldn't be happier to post on Michaela's lovely blog.  Not only is she one of the most kind and genuine ladies I have met, she has a beautiful blog and has a natural talent for all things interior design.   I always enjoy reading what other bloggers have to say on her "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not" series, so I jumped at the chance to get to post myself!  

She Loves Me:

There are so many things I love!  I generally am a "glass half full" type of girl, so narrowing down my loves to just a few is quite hard for me!

1. Animal Prints

Nate Berkus once said that animal prints would never go out of style. As an admirer of all things chic, I love the neutral tones in animal prints and the texture and intrigue they add to an outfit or an interior.

2.  Curiosity

I love it when I meet someone with a curiosity for life.  I find that they often question convention and generally love to learn.  They are innovative, listen well, and see the world differently.  I try to stay curious and explore my interests whenever they arise.  Many of the great innovators of our time became successful because they were first curious- Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah... the list goes on and on.  I think the key to staying interesting is staying curious.  

3. All Things French

If it wasn't already obvious from the title of my blog, I am quite taken with France.  The people, the architecture, the history, the furniture, the fashion, the demeanor- I really do love it all!  I have gotten to visit Paris twice, and each time I left inspired by the classic silhouettes and "less is more" mentality.

She Loves Me Not:

1.  Cooking

I am not a fan of cooking.  I have absolutely no culinary skill!  It takes patience and practice, and unfortunately I have no drive to become a better chef.  This doesn't jive well with the fact that I am a vegetarian and can't eat most fast food- so typically I end up "drinking" my dinner via a protein shake or a Starbucks light frappuccino.  I know, I know!  Nutritionists, don't stone me. 

 {Why can't I look this cute when cooking?!}

2. Inauthenticity

  I highly value individuality, honesty, and transparency.  Instead of pretending to be perfect all the time, it is refreshing to see a person be honest about their failures and shortcomings.  Being authentic means thinking for yourself, remembering your values, and not being afraid to go your own way- even if you fail!  Part of learning is being willing to make mistakes.  So, when a person can't stand in their own shoes or find their own voice, it irks me.  Rather than copy someone else, take time to learn who you are and what you represent.

I hope you enjoyed reading about what what I do and do not love!  Thank you, sweet Michaela, for letting me pop over today.  

XO,  Sam from The Peak of Tres Chic

Thank you, friend! Told you you'd love her.  I have to say, I love a good animal print, too! And authenticity is so very important to carry with us. What a great reminder :)

Love,

She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not: Link Up #1

This Wednesday marks the first She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not link up! I'll be holding this link up once a month now.  So fun! Today I'm sharing my loves and love-me-nots...be sure to link up yours below and visit some other links to make friends :)


She Loves Me:
1. Weddings. My best friend is getting married on Friday and I can hardly wait. That's probably why I've been pinning lots of pretty wedding photos lately!

via

2. Braids.  I'm always looking for new ways to do my hair.

Uploaded by user on Pinterest. Source anyone?!

3. Windows!  Good natural light is the first ingredient to a well-lit home.

via

4. Complimentary Colors. Purple and yellow and clearly my favorite of the complimentary colors...could you tell?! ;)

via

5. Watercolor prints.  And California. How great is this print? I can see it in a future gallery wall!

via

She Loves Me Not:
1. Courtney & Ben.  And Ben's hair. Enough said.

via

2. Finals.  This week is jam-packed with tests and projects to turn in for the end of the quarter. I will be glad to see this week go!

1. study guide for marketing test  2. CAD kitchen elevation

3.  When social media sites change. Facebook just forced me into using Timeline for my personal FB account & my blog fan page, too! Can't say I'm a fan quite yet!

4. Being as white as a ghost.  Goodness me! I can hardly remember the days when I had a permanent sunkissed-glow.  Those days are long gone, as I've been in Washington for 3 years...I feel that I almost have no hope of ever getting that nice little tan back! I can't even bare to post a photo...ha!
