Our niece, Peri, is a Fashionista with a capital 'F'.
When her mother had a bat mitzvah to attend and nothing
to
wear, Peri pulled out a 13-year-old hot pink blazer that had been hiding in the
back of the closet. She rummaged around until she found a cute white tank,
white skirt and white sandals. Then she added lots of turquoise jewelery and bam! Her mom looked like she just stepped out of
a Bloomingdale's catalog!
This
fall Peri will be a junior year at the University of Georgia
and living in a house with several roommates. She asked her mother if
there was any way I could fly to Athens to decorate her apartment (no,
not really!), so I thought of the next-best thing. We gathered fun
designer shopping bags
and I framed them in simple white frames.
This
is perfect "artwork" for the fashion-obsessed and they also look great
because of the fabulous colors and beautiful graphic design.
Here is an easy trick for hanging pictures in a group--I hung these salon style. A
classic salon grouping is based on the frames coming together to
form one or two straight lines and then "branching out" from there.

Happy Birthday Peri! I hope your apartment looks fabulous!

THANK YOU!!! I looooove it! You're the best :) although I stillll wish we could fly you in! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome--it will take a while to pack them up!
DeleteThe explanation for how to hang the frames is great! Thank you! I have pictures that have been leaning against the wall in my house for probably six months as I try to figure out how to hang them. I didn't know there was a system, I thought you just had to have an "eye" for it. I'd love to see more posts about different ways to hang pictures.
ReplyDeleteChava, Thank you for the feedback! I will post more picture hanging tips!
DeleteThis is every fashionista's dream. You did an amazing job. I adore, simply adore everything about this.
