Friday Finds // Cozy Winter Style // Simplified Bee

It’s that time of the year again! With winter’s chill comes the fun of bundling up in a comfy throw in front of a crackling fires while sipping hot cocoa. It also means that for many it’s essential to layer sweaters, coats and scarves to stay warm. Just because you are all bundled up, doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style. I’ve hand-picked five favorites – in timeless grays and black – that will keep you warm and cozy, while still looking super chic.

Organized Closet on a Budget

An organized space is like a breath of fresh air. It calms us. For most, wardrobe closets can be some of the most unorganized spaces in their home. Therefore I always recommend closet systems to help keep reach in and walk-in closets organized.  These systems can be pricey, so when I stumbled across this gorgeous black and white organized closet – done on a serious budget – I had to share it with you.  Nina Holst of Stylizimo created a beautiful walk-in-closet using items mostly from Ikea. The DIY shoe rack created with a series of Ikea’s BYGEL towel rods and spray painted gold is brilliant!

Friday Finds :: Christmas Ideas on Pinterest

Not surprisingly, I’ve been spending some too much time on Pinterest gathering inspiration for the Christmas season. I’m sharing some of my recent faves today, but be sure to drop by my Christmas Ideas board for over 200 more. If you haven’t already started decorating… it will motivate you for sure!

As you can see, I’m still in a gold holiday mood!

And like many, I was saddened by the news of Nelson Mandela’s passing yesterday. He was an incredible leader and through love, peace and justice touched millions of lives.
