Tassel Obsessed–One of my favorite details

Is there a certain design detail that you’re kind of obsessed with?  It might be floral patterns or maybe it’s mercury glass finishes.  For me that one design detail that I just can’t seem to get enough of is Tassels.  I’ve been crazy about tassels for years and when I opened my home decor store back in 2003, I even named it to reflect my love for tassel–The Scarlet Tassel.  I closed my store in 2011 but tassels continue to be one of may favorite decor and fashion accessories.

A recent round of online shopping turned up lots of great tassel adorned decor and fashion.  I knew you would never forgive me if I didn’t share it all with you so here, my friends are a load of tassel goodies.

TASSEL MUST-HAVES:

I’m actively starting to shop for spring and summer shoes and these suede tassel loafers are on the list.  I love the bold color and stylish black tassel charms.  You’ll want to grab a pair of the fast because I know they will sell out.  p.s they are currently on sale for $79.88 and also come in a brown toffee color.

 Pillows are one of the easiest and budget friendly ways to update your decor from one season to the next.  This Kate Spade Tassel Pillow would look great on a sofa or as an accent on a bed.  There are 2 yummy solid colors to choose from as well as a boho inspired black and cream stripe.  $129

If you look around your house I’m sure you’ll spot  multiple places where this cute white stool with tassels could go.  It’s the perfect footstool next to a chair or as an accent next to the bed. $139.99

 I’m a bit of a throw collector because I’m always cold.  This chic marled grey knit throw will work with any decor style and is perfect for spring and summer nights watching movies on the sofa.  And I’m pretty smitten with the $69 price tag too!

 Is there such things as having too many tassel earrings.  The fashion trend is still going strong so I say why not add these tassel drop earrings to your fashion lineup.  They are also available in a blue colorway and will only set you back $38.

 Several years ago I wrote a post about shopping at Pottery Barn Kids for fun decor pieces.  This adorable Boho Tassel Storage Tote is just one example of an item that bridges the gap between kids and adults.  It screams magazine basket or blankets storage to me.  There are two sizes available–Small: $39 and Large: $59.

I love dressing up a simple summer dress or t-shirt with bold jewelry like this Cardo Tassel Necklace ($52).  The combination of tassels, pom poms and black and white is definitely a winning combo.

Have you noticed that patterned bath rugs have been trending up for the last few years?  Rugs with an all-over pattern are a great way to add visual interest to a utilitarian space like a bath or laundry room.  This striped bath rug with tassels would be a fun option to give your decor a pop of color.  And it’s under $40…$39.99 to be exact.

This amazing Justina Blakeney Fela Tassel Chandelier  takes tassel decor to a whole new level.  What a statement piece for a living space, bedroom or office.  I love the natural color ($193.50) but also found it in navy here and in pink here.

And finally friends…what do you get when you pair a classic decor piece like a decorative box with a tassel, this set of 3 decorative boxes with tassels.   You could use these boxes stacked as shown or break them apart to decorate a coffee table, bookshelf or night stand.  The set is only $73.99 and is available in 8 gorgeous colors.

Anyone else have a tassel obsession?  

Happy shopping.

Gift Wrap Inspiration: Tassel Ribbon Tie

Mother's Day Gift Wrap by ConfettiStyle

With Mother’s Day just a few weeks away, you may have gift giving on your mind.  If you’re looking for the perfect gift, be sure to check out my Mother’s Day Gift Guide.  Once you’ve purchased a gift you’ll need to wrap it so I’ve got a fun and easy gift wrap idea for you today.

DIY GIFT WRAP: Tassel Ribbon Tie

Wrapping gifts is one of my favorite things to do and because I’m a paper and ribbon collector {aka-hoarder} I’ve got a stash of pretty paper and embellishments perfect for the occasion.

I’m always drawn to floral motifs when it comes to Mother’s Day gift wrap so I chose this pretty orange and pink floral blossom paper.  I love the bold design and the accent of apple green in the background pattern.

Similar Floral Gift Wrap // Similar Faux Leather Tassels // Orange Ribbon

Wanting to put a different spin on the bow, I decided to create a tassel tie using white faux leather tassels that I had.

You won’t believe where these tassel came from.  They originally started out as tassel garland from the Nate Berkus collection at Target.  I scored several sets of the garland in white and black on clearance for less than $3!

When I purchased the garland I had the idea of making necklaces but also knew the tassels would make a great gift wrap embellishment.

Making the tassel tie was super easy.  I measured a length of ribbon long enough to fit around the box and tie and simple bow. Then I tied a tassel on to each end.  Once the box was wrapped, I used the tassel tie like a regular ribbon to embellish the gifts.

One of the best parts of creative gift wrapping is using items in new ways.  These tassels were meant for home decor but make the perfect finishing touch for a gift.

The next time you shop the clearance aisle at your favorite store, be on the look-out for trinkets and charms you can use when wrapping gifts.

A Cute Clutch Find From An Unexpected Place

Around Christmas I shared the Junk Gypsy Bohemian Geo Cuff Sheet Set that I received from Pottery Barn Teen.  But what I didn’t tell you was this wasn’t the only thing I received from PB.  They also sent me this adorable suede clutch.

Junk Gypsy Wanderer Fringe Pouch from Pottery Barn Teen

The Wanderer Fringe Pouch is also part of the Junky Gypsy collection designed by sisters Amie and Jolie Sikes, affectionately known as the Junk Gypsies.  In true Junk Gypsy style, this pouch has a fun, whimsical and bohemian vibe.

There are so many things I love about this pouch, starting with the super soft 100% suede leather fabric.  It feels like butter to the touch and is a high quality grade of leather. I know a lot about leather products from my years of buying and sourcing for Eddie Bauer.

The other thing I love about this bag is the fringe detail and tassel zipper pull.  How did PB know my love for tassels runs deep?

When it comes to handbags, I always look for special details that give a bag pizzazz and the fringe + tassel do that to this simple clutch.

There are not pockets on the inside of the pouch but that’s ok because it forces me to keep the contents light.

I’ve so enjoyed pairing this bag with jeans and sweaters this winter and it’s going to be the perfect accessory for a cowboy themed birthday party we’re going to in a few weeks.

Tassel jewelry is and has always been a favorite jewelry style of mine and BaubleBar is one of my favorite sources for affordable, on-trend jewelry.

I was recently on the hunt for a new pair of tassel earrings and after I got finished looking through the Bauble Bar site, I had found several tassel pieces I wanted to bring home.

These Tiffany Tassel Drops in Ruby are just stunning and the perfect pair of earrings to dress up a simple black outfit.  $28

DIY Valentines Cards (that are actually gifts)

Felt Hearts

I don’t send out Valentines cards every year, but this year I decided to get crafty and make a card that’s actually a usable gift.

Because I’m sending these gifts to a few of my special girlfriends, I wanted it to be something that was personal and could be used in different ways.  After coming across a piece of leather I had stashed away I decide to make a keepsake heart charm.
