DIY Gold Painted Desktop Storage Container

 

For my mom cave (home office/craft room) I needed a 3 drawer storage container that would fit on my bookshelf or desk for some of my crafting supplies. I found a white plastic Sterilite container from Target for $4.99 and used some extra spray paint from my filing cabinet makeover.

This looks so much better then just the plain white and so quick and easy...it's amazing what just a little spray paint can do :)

Cargo, Gold, and Leopard...OH MY!

So this past weekend we went out to one of the local farmer's markets around us and had so much fun. It wasn't freezing and the sun peeked out every now and then. It was the perfect day for a light sweatshirt, my favorite cargo jacket, a pop of animal print and my new sneakers that I am literally obsessed with, I wear them almost every day!  Cozy and stylish at it's best for the both of us. Lilly had a blast seeing all the doggies and chickens and she even played with some other kids and danced to the one-man-band that was there. We had a very yummy lunch, scored a couple of sweet treats and took home a good amount of fresh veggies.

 

Yes we match  ;)

Spring Wish List

Spring Wish list by nataliemorelliwaters featuring a pink trench coat

Trench Coat

Nothing is more classic and comfortable for spring then a great khaki trench coat. I used to have a nice trench, but I'm not sure if it is in storage or if I got rid of it when we moved so if it's not in storage I might be re-investing in one again this year :)

Gingham Shirt

I love plaid and nothing is more spring and summer to me then a lightweight gingham blouse. This year I really want a navy blue and white one...how classic!

Pastel Denim

A great way I like to add a little variety to my wardrobe is with a colorful denim or pant, and pastels for spring are what I'm lusting for this year.

Windowpane 

This print is everywhere right now and is a nice graphic print other then all the watercolor florals we are consumed with every spring.

Pops of red

I've been seeing a lot of these pops of this coral/pink/red color everywhere right now and I'm very intrigued to incorporate it with some of my accessories in my spring wardrobe this year. 

Pastel Accessories

Mini pastel handbags are everywhere as wel! I'm lusting over these cute little crossbody satchels that come in an array of pastel cuteness! 

Nude Nail Polish

As a change from all the dark and bright fingernail polish I have and wear periodically, right now I'm really drawn to different kinds of nudes and neutral nail colors.

What are some things you are lusting for this spring?

Must Have Monday: Mad About Plaid

Must Have Monday: Mad About Plaid by nataliemorelliwaters featuring tartan plaid shoes

It wouldn't be fall without plaid! And plaid is definitely having a huge moment right now compared to the past few seasons. From buffalo plaid, to plaid pants, to plaid in accessories, to plaid outerwear, and even plaid in our home decor...one thing is certain that everyone is "mad about plaid" this season. I'm definitely lusting over the plaid pant trend, however, I'm not too certain I could pull them off personally, but I love seeing them. Even in baby and kids wear, there are plaid pants and coats and cute shirts right now. So if you try anything new this season, or just want to add some fun to your fall looks, try out some different plaids in different pieces of clothing and accessories and just have fun with it!

I'd love to see some of your plaid looks or some of your favorite plaid pieces this season :)

Trendy Tot Tuesday

So lately I have been finding the cutest and most adorable little girl outfits for Lilly. Marshall's, TJMaxx, Target and Kohls have so many cute outfit sets right now and I couldn't help but stock up on some a few weeks ago. Lilly is growing so much that even 18 month stuff is getting tight in some brands (she's only 15 months!) 

I love this little pink and grey stripe sweater jacket with her little jeans and faux Ugg boots :) What you can't really see that well is that the sweater has little grey velvet bows on the pockets and gold buttons...so adorable! 

This sweater and jeans outfit set I found at TjMaxx. Boots are Target :)
