Living Room Decor Inspiration

 table lamp / Modern lighting /   pillow / Ikat pillows /  basket / candle /  leather sofa / table

Today I bring a design inspiration. I had a long time without writing one of these post. Lately my mom and I have been thinking of re decorating our living room. I live in New York City and space is something that you have to compromise sometimes. Thankfully we live in an apartment where we  have space to move around furniture and add a couple of decor accessories. 

My mom knows that I am an interior design addict. I mean i have stacks of Elle decor, and other interior design magazines at home. It is one of my favorite hobbies. Her knowing that, she has decided to leave the living room project on my hands that means that I have the opportunity to play around with things but not with cash. We have a budget which I will try my best to not go past it. 

How am i going to do that? by buying a good long lasting leather sofa and combine it with other accents from Marshalls, Target, Home Goods and shops around my neighborhood.  My mom loves the traditional style and i do to . If it would of been for me i would have everything pink and white but i don't think that would work. 

I am sticking with neutral and adding color touches with a rug and pillows. I am also on a hunt for the perfect sunburst mirror for the living room with gold accents like this one and long window sheer panels and a fresh coat of paint. That will turn my living room into a new one. 

 SO what do you gals think Yay or Nay ! leave a comment of what do you think of this Living Room interior design inspiration.

The Perfect Way To Use White During The Fall

 sweater /  coat / skinny jeans /  handbag

Last week I posted an outfit of the day on my Instagram. I had a pair of white straight denims, a camel peacoat and a pair of leopard flats. Some people don't use white after labor day you know the fashion rule. But why not use white when it is a universal color and it's chic. I love how a pair of white jeans look on me so I decided to break the "rule" and rock my pair of white pants.

 Here i have a very similar outfit to the one i wore last week. I do love fashion but I don't think you have to follow all the trends that are going on . You can make your own trend by being unique. I think this is the perfect way to wear white in the fall. With the perfect camel coat and leopard flats it will give you that fall touch that you wont get during summer or spring. Don't be scared of using white in the fall if you like to wear white go a head give it a try i know it will be one of your favorite outfits.

In A Very Plaid World !

Shop This Outfit : dress / tight / leather booties /  bag, / watch /  necklace / lipstick

I have always dreamed of being that typical classy lady from the upper east side. I guess with my obsession of Gossip Girl. I loved Blair and I loved her outfits. Every time I walk around the upper east side it reminds me of the show and of course of how charming the neighborhood is. In honor of that charming neighborhood and Gossip Girl I have this outfit in my mind. I think this outfit is beautiful and classy. 

 I mean for Gods sake the name of my Blog is Diary of a classy lady. I guess I am a bit obsessed with lady like classy outfits and lifestyles. This outfit is for the typical lady that loves to wear a fashionable outfit and also that loves plaid. This Ralph Lauren dress is perfect for this season. It is the perfect length and color. The makeup can be pretty easy just slap on a dark matte lipstick and you will look FABULOUS !

I wish i could have  it hanging on my closet but since i know that won't happen ill just leave it as a dream. So this is my "I wish i could wear that" outfit post. Happy Friday !! My question for you ladies is what is the synonym of classy to you?

Baseball Cap Outfit Inspiration

 Lately I have been seeing many people with baseball caps not only the ordinary team caps but fashionable ones. J.crew has come out with a cap collection for the fall. Which at the beginning I was not that sure about it. First because I never really wear caps and second because I always use floppy fedora hats in the fall. But I have fallen for them. And I can't wait to wear mine. It is one of the coolest trend of the season.

I decided to do an Outfit Inspiration to demonstrate how you can pair the cap on an everyday basis. I think you are giving an extra fun touch to your outfit. It is perfect. I ordered my cap and i can't wait to pair it up with a couple outfit that i have in mind. So if you are like me and think that you might not like the cap trend try it out you never know. 

Have Fun !
