How To Decorate A Fashionable Clothing Store

 

Clothing stores are often some of the most interesting places to look at from a design point of view. This is because, first and foremost, the fashion should define the style of the space. If it’s not highlighted and properly presented, no one will want to go through your racks or think about themselves wearing the garments. But if you don’t decorate, maybe the space will feel more clinical, and that hardly inspires creative exploration.

Holly, Berry, Pine Cone Centerpiece

I love the holidays because I get to use special decorations I don't normally use the rest of the year. Each year I try to add a new piece to my collection to keep it fresh. This year I added this Holly, Berry, Pine Cone Centerpiece from Silk Plants Direct. It's a beautiful arrangement of holly with berries and pine cones around three glass candle holders. It's all attached to a metal frame so you can easily pick it up and move it anywhere you like. It didn't come with candles, but I plan to use some of my LED candles inside so I don't ruin the beauty of the glass with wax. This centerpiece is 26" long so it's perfect for a mantel, coffee table, or the center of your dining room table when your entertaining guests.

This beautiful centerpiece was provided by the good folks at CSI Wall Panels.

Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving

When I think about Thanksgiving I immediately think about giving thanks for everything I have to be grateful for over the past year. In our household we have always had a tradition of each of us telling everyone the one thing they are most thankful for from the past year. It's always neat to see what the kids have to say, and how it changes as they get older. That's actually what inspired me to expand the tradition to on a larger scale during our annual family Thanksgiving gathering. This year I am setting up a "Give Thanks" jar on the table and asking that everyone write on a piece of paper the things they are thankful for and place it inside. As an added incentive for those that might be a little hesitant to write out their list I have little treat bags with goodies inside for after they are done. Then after we enjoy our meal as a family I am going to read them allowed for everyone to hear. I thought it would be a nice tradition to start, and a nice addition for a page in my family scrapbook.

And who better to celebrate Thanksgiving with other than the original creators of Thanksgiving themselves (okay so maybe not the original)....the Peanuts gang! There aren't too many Thanksgiving cartoons out there and I have to say I'm quite okay with that because this one is my favorite. And I am sure you can agree they make pretty awesome table decor.

Staying Close Message Center

Last year I introduced you to a new to me online store called red rock traditions. I shared with you their My Wish for you necklace that I had received. Well I am happy to say I am partnering with them again this year to feature one of their new products for 2017. It's called the Staying Close Message Center. Since we have family that live out of state I thought it would be a neat place to store the kids letters they want to send their grandparents. It even has a small clock that I could set to the time where they live so my daughter doesn't accidentally call them too late. In the photo I slid in a few bills on one side and some booklets to show you the sizing capacity of the openings. I haven't gotten a small enough photo to put in the little framed area yet so right now it's just the stock card insert. I guess what I'm getting at is even if you don't customize it right away it's still a useful and beautiful piece. I love how it looks in our country themed kitchen.

Spruce up their walls with Uncle Milton!

My kids have both always been into decorating their bedrooms to fit their personalities. My daughter has made her room so that no one will mistake it as belonging to anyone but her. It has her name on the walls and pretty princess stuff all over. No mistaking it for a boy's room that's for sure! My son on the other hand likes to hang things on his walls that he thinks are "cool". You know boy stuff like deer pictures and Star Wars stuff. Nothing girly going on in his room, it's definitely decorated by a boy. Nothing really seems to go together, but he's happy with it so I'm happy with it.

Light up the night with Lava

One thing that initially peaked my interested with these string lights is that they are battery operated. My daughter likes to have lights hanging all around her bed, but I've always been leery about using anything that plugs in that she might forget to shut off before she falls asleep. I know most are cool touch and don't get hot, but I am still not comfortable with it. So when I found these Star Shaped String Lights from Lava I was pretty excited. They require two AA batteries so you know there's not much power going to the lights, therefore you don't have to worry about them getting hot. Plus if they are left on you also don't have to ever worry about anything bad happening with electricity. The batteries are strong enough to make them nice and bright too. They rotate between seven different colors and are really neat hanging around her bed.

I get my Holiday Gifts and Decor from Thirty-One #thirtyone

If you haven't checked out Thirty-One in a while I encourage you to do so because things are always changing from season to season. Like right now they have some really fun stuff only available for the holidays. Like this super cute Santa Suit Littles Carry-All Caddy. What a fun way to decorate the top of a bookshelf, or give as a gift filled with the recipients favorite candies or home baked goodies. They also have a cute reindeer caddy as well as others that aren't holiday themed if you prefer one that can be used year round.

Maybe something a little more personal is you're style for giving. I recently ordered a little something for each member of my family personalized for them specifically. For my daughter I got an insulated lunch bag with a super cute tiara and her name embroidered on the front. For my son I got a drawstring bag with our last name on it so he can use it at school and another "Tyler" can't claim it as his. And last but definitely not least I got a really nice money clip with his initials etched on the clip. I thought this would make a nice gift for him because he doesn't use a regular wallet since he has to pull out his badge at work a lot. If you ask me a personalized gift really adds to the thought of what you're giving.

Of course sometimes personalization isn't needed when your giving something that looks great just the way it is. Take for instance my favorite purse the Everything Crossbody, I have it in three different colors and love how it looks without any extras. Or the Explorer Crossbody that comes with a fun message already on it. My daughter begged me for the one pictured as soon as she saw it in the catalog. She's one of those kids that really just likes to be herself no matter what anyone else says or thinks. I love that about her so I knew this would make a perfect surprise gift for her.

The best part of shopping Thirty-One is that they even have a hostess program where you can earn the products you want to buy at a discount, or even FREE! Plus they have great bonus items you can only get by hosting a party. And don't fret if you're thinking A PARTY right now!? You don't even have to have a real party with Thirty-One, you can host a catalog party or a virtual online party. Then guests can order right from the website under your party and you'll still get the credit. This is great for those friends and family members that live out of town. Plus you'll be earning those credits to use towards gifts you want to give (or keep) for the holidays.

Customer Specials                   Hostess Rewards

The cutoff to order products to be delivered by Christmas is December 12. Make sure when you visit the Thirty-One website you check out their customer specials and hostess rewards program for full details.

What's New for Fall at Magic Cabin?

Do you like to stay up with what's new as the season's change like I do? I know I always get excited with seasonal changes because that means my favorite shopping places will have new catalogs with their latest products. I have just always thought it was fun to see what they have new that might make a great gift or addition to my home decor. At Magic Cabin they have a whole bunch of fun new products for the fall season. We're talking about almost 100 new items all in one place. I of course hopped right on their website and checked them all out with my daughter. And after some browsing around found us a few things we just couldn't live without. Okay so maybe we could, but we didn't want to because they were super cool!
