I’ve always loved homes decorated with a global flair that mixes old and new and the items come with a provenance – Along the lines of Anthropologie‘s store vignettes (great article here and imagine having this guy’s job – luckkkyyy!).
In about a month or so, I am moving out of my much-loved Spanish Harlem apartment and on to a bigger and better place outside of the city. Actually, outside of the state But I digress, so lately decorating and home decor has been on my mind a lot. Since I’ve been really good at supplying myself with anything I’ve needed for the past three years I’ve lived in my one-bedroom apartment, I don’t really need much except one or two pieces of additional furniture and ideas on how to use what I already have to decorate. In the meantime, I’ve developed a love affair with Etsy, Pinterest, Fab.com and a couple of other home decor/interior design blogs that knows no bounds.
Anyway, as part of my pairing down/de-cluttering and shopping less recovery evolution, I have come to realize that 1. my decorating talents, good taste and fashion eye are going to waste. 2. I enjoy the experience of shopping since it acts as creative and artistic stimuli for my muse – in fact, it’s almost cathartic. And lastly, just because I can’t own it doesn’t mean someone else shouldn’t get to enjoy it. After all, sites like Pinterest and a million shopping blogs out there are just about that – noting cool things you should buy. So here we go!
What would a globetrotting successful Latina have in her home? I asked myself.
Here’s what caught my eye recently:
1. How about a little tongue in cheek statement piece? I love the vibrant colors.

2. Or a colorful, vintage Day of the Dead Retablo? This has both history and folkloric charm.

| $90 via Etsy.com |
3. Lastly, some original (Guadalupe / Conquistadora / Madonnas) artwork? These can be religious artifacts or womanly expressions of nature – however you interpret them, they are beautiful.

If the fur cleaning process seems rigorous, it is. The painstaking cleaning process is designed to maximize the life and look of your fur so you get the most out of your investment. It’s important to remember that fur is essentially hublot replica. Fur easily traps dirt and oils near the leather base which can rob your garments of their shine and create a matted appearance. Additionally, fur absorbs odors and dust that can only be completely removed by following the procedure listed above. Give your replica dior the attention it deserves so it lasts a lifetime. Keeping your fur garments consistently clean is the best way to keep them looking and feeling new, year after year. The fact that the military is a public entity by law is the main reason why this is so. Since it is part of the government, and the government is owned by the people, the military is also owned by the people. Their graphics and hermes outlet are in the public domain for public consumption. In saying that, you can find numerous military patches that should only be worn when they have been earned.
