What I Like About The Stylish Klaimbmo Chandelier.

I finally replaced the 20 year-old fluorescent light fixture in my kitchen. It worked fine, but the rectangular plastic globe was basically a trap for insects and had been cracked in several spots over the years during cleaning. It was time for a change.




I found the Klaimbmo Black Farmhouse Chandelier on Amazon.  I know it's described as Farmhouse, but don't be fooled by that description.  If anything, it's more of a Modern Farmhouse style.  It's quite stylish!


I love the color of the black metal frame! It's sturdier than it looks. Assembly was relatively easy.  It was simply a matter of aligning screws with pre-fabbed holes. All the parts were accounted for and fit perfectly during installation. It uses three 60 watt light bulbs (not included) which is more than enough light for the area in my kitchen. 

The instruction sheet included illustrations and written step-by-step directions on how to safely wire the electric fixture. 

What a nice upgrade for my kitchen!  I think it would also work nicely in the dining room or entry way.  I highly recommend this light fixture. 



Plush Comforter Bedding At Affordable Price. Airensky Product Review.

 

 Hey Family! If you're in the market for a nice comforter set that won't break the bank, check this out!  I ordered this beautiful and affordable Airensky comforter set from Amazon. You can get it for less than $50. To me, it resembles the plush bedding that you see at hotels! Quality stitching throughout!  First of all, I was happy to see that the comforter was an actual Queen size (as advertised) and covered my queen-size mattress with ample draping on the sides and foot of the bed. In other words, this was not a Twin masquerading as a Queen. 

This comforter was soft and pleasant-smelling right out of the packaging, which is a plus. I mention this because sometimes online shopping can be a little sketchy, especially when products are left in a stuffy warehouse for long periods before being sold.  I usually wash my bedding and clothing after purchase anyway, but boy, I've smelled new products before that make you want to ship them right back!

The color is so rich! The comforter was advertised as gray and white and it was just that. The gray is almost a light slate-gray, and is really nice.  I absolutely love it! The Queen comforter comes with two sets of pillow cases. The pillow shams fit my queen size pillows perfectly! The second set of pillow covers also fit my pillows, but I’d recommend that the manufacturer add an inch or two more to the length of the fabric just to get a little draping. Other than that, this comforter set is lovely! It looks great on my bed!

A great value for the price!  Definitely a keeper!

Manta Sleep Mask: Best Sleep Mask That Protects Your Eyes While You Sleep

 Are you looking for a good sleep mask that doesn't smash your eyes or damage your lashes while you sleep? I think I have the answer - Manta Sleep Mask.

If you're like me, you need a completely dark bedroom in order to fall asleep. I often use a sleep mask to make sure I get a true darkened environment when I go to bed. But, not all sleep masks are equal.

One of the drawbacks of traditional sleep masks is that they're flat. This puts pressure your eyelids and eyelashes. The elastic headband is often too tight or too loose. Sometimes I'd find myself adjusting and re-adjusting my mask all during the night, which as you can imagine, does not make for a restful night's sleep.

The Manta Sleep Mask is different. Imagine a sleep mask that's 1) covered in soft fabric, 2) has straps that adjust to fit your exact head measurements and 3) blocks out light. My favorite thing about the Manta Sleep Mask is their unique cushioned eye cups. Each eye is encircled with cushiony softness so there's zero pressure on your lashes or eyelids. How cool is that!

I have to tell you that the mask is soft, comfortable and provides a darkened atmosphere, which I need so much. Bonus: It does not leave marks on my face!

It's a win for me! I hope you'll try it!

Camel-hair Blazer in Burnt Orange

It’s Autumn here in Connecticut and the trees are changing colors. I love it! I got the chance to wear one of my favorite Fall colors this weekend at a neighborhood harvest festival. I wore this burnt orange camel-hair blazer. Thrifted of course. What a match to all the colors of the pumpkins and mums at the festival! I love the colors of Fall! Don’t you? What’s your favorite thing about Fall?

How To Style Mixed Prints: Quick Guide

I usually shy away from mixing prints, like stripes with polka dots, but I've seen styles that really seem to flow. It's making me take a second look. My style is conservative, but I think I can go outside the box, a little. Now, I don't want to look like I'm wearing a clown outfit, but perhaps I should investigate this further.   

Recently, one of my favorite stylists, @iamdionnedean, demonstrated a little somethin' somethin' with mixed prints, and I gotta tell ya, I didn't hate it. She matched a pink and white polka dot sweater with a striped muliti-colored dress. The key, according to Dionne, is to match the different prints with colors from the same family.  It totally worked for her!  I encourage you to check out her content for great styling tips, especially with second-hand fashion finds.

So, I tried it with this vintage plaid blazer that I thrifted recently from @Goodwill. The dominant colors in my blazer are light brown, rust and camel, with black stripes. I paired it with a brown and tan animal print scarf.  So, some of the colors in both the scarf and blazer are from the same family. The scarf is small enough that it doesn't overwhelm the eye or make the whole outfit look too busy. I think.

I'm going to play around with this mixed prints concept a little more. It may grow on me yet!

Let me know if you've ever intentionally mixed prints when putting together an outfit.
