I literally get obsessed with subtle details rather than the big picture (EX: I'd rather get that vase and picture fresh flowers in it than the leather chair I came for.).  I rotate frames, candles, trays, and books always.  There is something fun when it feels new.  At the end of the day, when your home is decorated it really isn't yours until you add those touches that makes it yours ... you know, lighting your favorite candles, photos of you and your loved one, your favorite coffee table book, the fun touches....yada yada.

accents + fun touches:

- vintage

- bookends

- trays 1, 2

- bowl

- worldly

- coffee table reads 1, 2

HOLLY LAUREN

I've been a fan of Holly Lauren since I was in High School.  I thought, what better way to transition back into San Diego living than with a feature about a local (amazing) 

San Diego designer.  I recently got to chat with the busy mom of 3 about her to die for jewelry line as well as a few questions about her awesome style and beauty secrets.

What Neta Loves: Introduce yourself and Holly Lauren.

Holly Lauren: I'm a 30 year old, coffee drinking, thrift store shopping and God loving mommy of three. I'm the designer behind Holly Lauren, which I started back in 2003.

WNL: What inspired you to create Holly Lauren?

HL:I started the business while working as a waitress and putting myself through design school. I had always loved making jewelry since I was a little girl,and found people wanting to buy what I was making.

WNL: Where can you buy Holly Lauren?

HL: You can order off my website at: Holly Lauren

WNL: What is inspiring your line right now?  Are you loving any trends you can't help but channel?

HL: I'm way more simple now, which reflects my current look, but I'm loving the trend of the side cross and anything rose gold!!

+A variety of HL

WNL: Your favorite go-to piece from your Fall line?

HL: I'm loving my three piece cream collection! I'm currently sold out for the next couple of weeks!;)

WNL: Go-to shopping spots (west, east, or anywhere in between)?

HL: I'm a thrift store shopper, loving Amvets, flashbacks, and platos closet!

WNL:  Are you a bargain shopper for seasonal pieces or do you splurge on one big purchase?

HL: I'm a bargain shopper when it comes to fashion. I'm not a brand person, so I feel I can get away with something from forever 21 that looks like it came from a high end boutique.

WNL:  What must you have in your closet for Fall?

HL: Military Jackets! I actually have my Grandmas, when she served in WW2... Which makes it a priceless vintage piece... And in fashion all at the same time.

WNL: What is your best Fall/Winter trick with your hair and skin?

HL: I splurge on makeup! I swear by Chanel  concealer and there coverup year around! Hair for fall is going a little darker... Stay tuned on my instagram to see how dark;)
