Made by Girl Giveaway

I am loving these monthly giveaways and I hope you are too! Today I am so thrilled to feature one of my favorite sites where I purchased my beloved gold metallic LOVE poster {photo below} which I styled on my bed stand in the 500 SF of Urban Paradise Post. Made by Girl by Jen Ramos who has also been featured on DNS before in the Art for the Home post is not only a very talented artist she has a great blog and an adorable shop on her site that has lots of goodies for the home, office and stylish accessories! Since my favorite is obvi the "LOVE" poster I thought I would "share the love" {pun intended} and offer one of these gorgeous posters to my fab readers - the best part is, you get to pick what color you like and there is quite the colorful selection. Just check out all the beautifully styled photos below. This sweet print will fit in your home from a child's room, bedroom or office, the options are endless - good luck!

shes a grand old flag

more party decor inspiration

This Fourth of July I will be heading to my folks place on Shelter Island for some Summer fun. The house will be an absolute zoo with three dogs, two kids, two cousins, two parents, and two couples. I absolutely cannot wait for the madness to begin. So today is all about the birthday of our beloved country and all things themed USA - with style of course!

Recipe

Red White & Blue Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

This recipe was totally my speed since I am a terrible baker. I mean who doesn't love strawberries dipped in chocolate and lets face it, anything with a splash of ~~glitter~~ sugar is that much more fabulous. It was super easy and so delicious, I of course ate three the second they were ready and was debating eating the remainder but felt too guilty. This is such a fun and quick recipe that I will definitely be making again with my nieces over the holiday weekend.

Denim Tuxedo

My friends and I used to joke that whenever we saw someone wearing jeans with a jean shirt and jean jacket that they were in a "denim tuxedo". I loathed the look back then thinking it screamed country western and all things cowboys but I have to admit I am warming up to the look as of late. The trick is all about picking the right shades of blue in your denim and pairing them accordingly. Just look at how well denim on denim can look & shop the looks below!
