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.
Cut
out pieces of paper the same size as your frames. Lay them out on the
floor and move the pieces around until you find the shape you like.
Next, tape them on the wall,
making sure to leave the spaces between each picture the same.
