GlossyBox // 29 Refinery
Hello APV readers First I’d like to share my apologies for the lack of posts and updates on A Pura Vida. Life has been really crazy busy and we are finally getting back into the groove of work, and enjoying our new place. I’ll be sharing updates on our digs, here shortly…nothing too impressive sadly […]
Open Living Room // Sofa Option 1
Hello! So after what I believe was the worse experience ever with contracting to get our floors stained, they are finally finished (we get to see the final results tomorrow). Unfortunately the Jacobean did not take as dark as we wanted, and so we are stuck with floors that are stained, but just not the dark brown […]
Oh So Pretty
Hello! I love pretty, colorful new things. Below are a few of my recent favs, of which I bought both sets of green earrings on sale on HauteLook for only $28 reduced from $100. How fabulous is that sequined chevron pillow? The mirror and clutch I absolutely adore, however I’m not quite sure I’m willing to […]
Move Update
Hello! So sorry I have been MIA lately, we finally finished moving and you’ll all end up laughing, but we decided to actually go ahead and stain our floors, this all of course AFTER painting the entire place white, and cancelling when we could have had the contractors start last week. We ended up meeting […]
We CLOSED!!!
I’m so excited to share that we closed on our new place on Monday. The process took literally forever, and now that we finally have the keys in our hands, we can’t wait to get started. I especially can’t wait to finally execute against all the posts and ideas that I have shared with you […]
Classic Arm Candy // Get the Look
Who here does not love a little bit of arm candy? I do, however I find that I’m more drawn to the understated and simple pieces versus the bright neon and classic thread inspired friendship bracelets. Now, don’t get me wrong – I still think these pieces are great – and only wish I could pull them […]
Dark Wood Floors
Welcome Monday morning! Can you believe how quickly the weekend flew by? This week we finally (fingers crossed) close on our new place, which means that if everything goes as planned, we will be staining our hardwood floors. We decided on a dark stain – since there is something so brilliant about white walls, high […]
Splurge or Steal // Hammered Earrings
I can’t believe it is Friday – TGIF! I’ve been travelling all week, plus last week, and I’m ready to put my carry-on away. I hope you all enjoyed the black & gold inspiration board from Wednesday’s post. As promised here are the details where you can find a similar pair of gold hammered earrings for […]
Black & Gold Inspiration Board // Color Crush
I love how well black and gold jive together. I think the two work well across almost anything…from accessories, home decor and of course clothing. Checkout the inspiration board I compiled below. I’m in love with the YSL purse, the Chanel vintage purse, and of course those beautiful hammered earrings. I’ve been crazy busy travelling […]
50 Shades of Coral // Color Style Board
Have you read the book 50 Shades of Grey? I have a copy and need to get started on it – I have heard it is brilliant. Below I’m leaving you with my version of 50 shades of Coral which I created. I think this will be a regular type of post – each week, […]
