  • WHITE FAUX TAXIDERMY GIVEAWAY

    WHITE FAUX TAXIDERMY GIVEAWAY


    Over a year ago, I featured White Faux Taxidermy {WFT} as one of my Current Obsessions… I now own two of their custom resin deers, a tiny rhinoceros, and a gilded skull from their collection {and I’m sure I’ll purchase more of their stylish and whimsical pieces}.

    I am excited to announce that WFT & Blonder Ambitions have collaborated to give you the opportunity to win a mini version of The Arnie {the seafoam green deer with gold glitter antlers pictured below… and proudly displayed above my desk}.

    All you have to do is follow both WFT & Blonder Ambitions on one of our social media outlets* {links immediately below} and a winner will be chosen at random {using randomresult.com} on Christmas Day {December 25, 2013}.  Email me at kikie@blonderambitions.com to let me know when you have “followed” WFT & Blonder Ambitions {please include your name and your username for each social media outlet so that we can properly track the “follows”}.  Each “follow” will generate an entry {meaning that if you follow WFT & Blonder Ambitions on Instagram, you get one entry; if you follow WFT & BA on Instagram & Pinterest, you will receive 2 entries… and so on}.  What are you waiting for?

  • CURRENT OBSESSION – WHITE FAUX TAXIDERMY

    CURRENT OBSESSION – WHITE FAUX TAXIDERMY


    I am a firm believer in conversation pieces.  They are a necessary focal point in any room and, if you are able to maintain a sense of humor during the decorating process, they can be a source of constant enjoyment.  I was looking for the perfect accent pieces to finish up my office and I came across Franklin, the gold resin deer head.  Immediately, without giving it a second thought, I purchased him.  As I perused the rest of the White Faux Taxidermy shop on Etsy, I realized that I had to buy a couple more things on impulse {I bought Fitz & Bex below}.  Now… I can’t stop smiling. Check out some of the incredible {courageous & funny} pieces.

    1. The Alejandra $129.99, 2. The Fitz $29.99, 3. The Eva $169.99
    4. The Haxton $129.99, 5. The Rangley $119.99, 6. The Madison $79.99
    7. The Midas $29.99, 8. The Quinton $29.99, 9. The Crowley $129.99
    10. The Sophia $169.99, 11. The Bex $19.99, 12. The Burkley $129.99

    CURRENT OBSESSION – TUMBLR

    So… after succumbing to Pinterest {check out my boards here}… I realized that some of you lovely women were jonesing for a place to peruse the Blonder Ambitions’ visual aesthetic… so I created an online museum of sorts… of which I am the curator.  I am hosting this gallery on Tumblr… check it out here: blonderambitions.tumblr.com … Enjoy!

  • GIVE THE PERFECT BABY SHOWER GIFT

    GIVE THE PERFECT BABY SHOWER GIFT

    I am only recently becoming a baby shower expert {which is terrifying… as I feel nowhere near ready for children of my own}… with the slew of showers, I found the best route to go was to personalize the gift in the form of a DIY gift basket.  Buy a large basket in a gender appropriate color {here, pink for a little girl}… the basket can later serve to hold baby clothes or diapers.  Line the basket with a baby blanket {much more fun than the usual tissue paper or raffia lining} and fill it full of color coordinated items.  For this basket, I combined pink and green and floral and leopard prints.  Also, make sure to include a festive card!
