#WCW: OutrageousBabes

One of the people I've had the privilege of meeting since moving to Columbus has been this beautiful and ultra mega talented babe, Jordana. In addition to having travelled and lived all over the world (India and Jordan just to name two of her previous homes), she makes stuff. Awesome stuff. Like floral crowns and clothes and art displays.

She invited a group of friends over to shoot for a flowercrown lookbook a while back, that was so much fun, I just had to share. She brought over suitcases full of lacy tops and flowy dresses, did our makeup, and we basically played dress up for a couple hours in my backyard. Always so much fun hanging with these beautiful ladies!

Want to see more?? Her crowns were recently featured in a beautiful piece by SHK Magazine, and she's constantly posting gorgeous new pieces to her Instagram page! Want to get your own? Head on over to her Etsy page!

DIY Home Inspiration Series: Part Four

PLANTS!!

I've raved about how awesome flowers and indoor gardens and outdoor havens really are before (hanging gardens here, succulents here and here), but really. Get yo'self some plants, or at least dump some flowers in a vase-like-object, and see how much better your place looks!


Some tips and helpful info:
1) Kill every plant that comes under your roof? Get succulents, cacti, or (my favorite) orchids. You seriously can dip an orchids into water once a month and they'll love you for it.

2) Here's a really cool website about houseplants that help clean your air

3) And of course, Apartment Therapy (quickly becoming one of my favorite websites ever) has this great list of how you can DIY your own indoor window box

4) Plants don't have to be overwhelming. Two white roses in a tiny clear vase on a bookshelf is beautiful too!

5) Have fun and be creative with it! Flowers don't have to be pink and girly - add some action figures for extra toughness, or stick with simple greens in indoor plant boxes!
