Vintage dress Tea dyed tutorial: Sunday's best dressed

I got this dress from Shabby Apple and the colors in the dress were way too bright for me. I tea dyed the dress and I love the result. It is subtle but sometimes it's all it takes. I love this dress. So Vintage and happy! 

Tea dying clothing:
You will need:
1 gallon of water 
20 bags of green tea (I don't drink green tea so I borrowed some from someone who does)

Boil the water in a big pot. turn off the heat and place your 20 bags in the water. Let sit for 20 minutes or until you think it is dark enough.
Place your clothing item in the pot. Push the item around with your hand or a big spoon to get all the air bubbles out.
You will need something heavy to keep the item under water. I used a smaller pot lid upside down. Let sit for 8 hours or more.
When you want to get it out. Squeeze the excess water and wash in your washer on cold setting.
If you want your clothing to be darker. Repeat the process.

Braids updo hairstyles: Easy hairdos tutorial



This 4 braids hairdo is my favorite to do in summer. It is Vintage looking with a Vintage dress or classy with any outfit, but also looks cute with a T-shirt and jeans. I love to do this on Sunday morning for going to church because I can do it with wet hair.It's super easy, super fast! 

 Make 4 braids. 2 on each side of the head and 2 with the hair on the back.
Use a comp for separating the parts evenly.
Make simple braids.


Take your first right bottom braid and cross it around the back to hide the end underneath the left top braid. Pin with 1 bobby pins. You can also fold the end and pin it.

Do the same with the bottom left braid.

Now you have your bottom braids pined under your top braids.

Pin your top right braids across under your top left braid. 

Pin your top left braid under your right top braids or pin and tuck the end under the closest braid.

You have a beautiful 4 braids updo!
Do you do updos? What kind?

I just remember this and the amazing clothes in this commercial and thought you would like to watch it - again if you are in the States and maybe for the first time if you are International. I think it is such a honor when the Cotton The fabric of our lives makes a commercial with you and notices that you have good taste in clothes. I love all their commercials. Enjoy! And another happy thing ...It's the weekend! YES!

Flipshion from Runway to Yourway App Review

When I see runway models on TV modeling in new designer clothes I usually stop and stare. First thoughts are “could I actually wear that?” and if I could “where on earth could I find that outfit?” Well, I can’t help you with the first question but I have a great solution for the second question “Where can I find that runway designer outfit?” The answer is the Flipshion app for iPhone and iPad.

The Flipshion app uses products exclusively from affordable online stores including Macy’s, Forever 21, Topshop, Gap and many more. The app simplifies the shopping experience by dividing all looks into categories by season and occasion. Categories include daytime, night out, rendezvous, office chic, weekend, holidays, and more!

Here are some screenshots from the app:

Trend alert: Zooey Deschanel Vintage style

Vintage quand tu nous teins. Yes, It's holding me. This romantic and timeless style is asking for my attention for few weeks now. I am starting to lose weight and my clothes are fitting. I am feeling like a new woman. When I lived in Paris I had few pieces and I love how feminine they were. When I think of the Vintage look I think about Zooey Deschanel. She has been robbing woman's hearts with her beautiful style.

Below is my inspiration after Zooey Deschanel Vintage style, with fabulous clothes from Persun

The lovely look of Toile

Hello, lovely blog readers! I'm so happy to be here with you at Le Chateau Des Fleurs with a guest post from Arcadian Home blog. It's a great place to find lots of interior design inspiration including decorating ideas for everything from fabulous mini pendant lights to lovely rugs for the floor. Today, we get to explore one of my favorite patterns—beautiful toile with a wonderful timeless quality that never seems to go out of style. From original French pastoral scenes to some interesting new takes on the look, let's take a peek into eight rooms dressed up in toile. Please enjoy! Isabelle, thanks for letting me stop by for this little visit. ~ Mari Toile 
Designer Allison Cosmos say this stunning mural was inspired by fabrics and wallpaper from Manuel Canovas which were used in a nearby room. The lovely pattern called Bengale is seen here in Paprika.
Toile
This traditional French toile in yellow feels updated and fresh paired with pure white and mixed patterns on the bed. I love the look of white contemporary lamps topped with very traditional toile shades.
Toile
This classic coastal vintage living room filled with the warm hues of sand is brought to life by seaglass blue velvet chairs and toile pillows. It's a great example of how pretty just a few touches of toile can be.
Toile 
Another traditional bedroom is beautiful in yellow on white toile. This one has lovely neutral walls in beige hues. I love the sheer bottom extensions on the toile draperies. Toile
Blue on white toile wallpaper is paired with white subway tile in this elegant vintage bath. It's beautiful with unexpected tan accents like the painted woodwork and tile floor. Toile
A pale green on white toile wallpaper seems simply perfect for this small guest bedroom. Isn't the toile color pretty with the lilac vintage bedspread?
Toile
French toile is lovely in this inviting bedroom. Can't you just picture breakfast in bed served on beautiful decorative trays? What a wonderful space in which to spend a lazy weekend morning! Toile 
And, lastly here's a contemporary powder room papered in classic black and white toile. This a beautiful wallpaper that works well with the sleek window treatment.
