Voodoo Magic
"Hocuspocus, look into my crystal ball & close your eyes" have been magical sayings we've all grown to hear of. It's not the Black Magic that intrigues the spirit but rather the convention of mystical realms. Seeking the future through a psychic, the understanding of one's self through a palm reading or the spread of a deck of tarot cards to grant the path you're searching for. Personally I'm a fan of all the above and think life is never to serious to not believe in the unbelievable. I've grown to be a fan of a couple great resources to help guide me through this crazy Matrix we live in. A pendulum is a handy little tool that levitates in a "yes-no" direction to answer questions you need assistance with. Be it a crystal, stone or key that hangs from a chain it reaches out to the spiritual realm to bring forth answers. I've turned a number of friends onto this device and whether they use it for every crisis or not, I know it works for them. The Birthday & Relationship book has helped steer me into understanding friends, loved ones & relationships better, or should I say has given me an awareness. The Goddess cards are a tool I count on to help me through life; career, love or overall existence. The moon is an ancient tool for telling cycles, seasonal changes & manifestations. Below is inspiration of photos that provoke the mystic & divine creature within you along with resources to look into on a rainy day. On the count of three you will feel inspired with beauty & love. One.......two......three........ xo-EJ

The Braid 101:
As this heat wave continues to blast us with it's Summer rays our hair seems to take the back seat. The frizz factor, hair breakage or the simple fact that it's too hot to wear your hair any other way than up. Thankfully there's a cure to this madness and we no longer need to suffer. It's simple, it comes from a 5 letter word & it's easy for you and I to do; it's called the "Braid". Oh...how the braid can do wondrous transformations to our hair. To take your lovely locks and french braid a crown around your head. A simple Goddess's touch with fresh flowers pick right off your neighbors front lawn intwined into the crown can make for the sweetest look. For some a french braid might be to complicated....then how about a good old fashion braid with the weaving of 3 strands of hair. Let's say some pigtails for that Native American touch, or a slicked back ponytail with the braid twirling from the rubber band, very fierce & a tad bit sporty if you ask me. Which ever braid you choose remember, this is "simple" "easy" and "everyone can do this". Be inspired with the different types of braids below and turn this Summer heat wave into fashionable occasion. xo- E.J.

Mary Jane isn't just Tom Petty's friend:
So far no big signs from the Lords of runway but how can we turn a shy shoulder to our beloved Mary Janes? Their buckle strap that caresses the foot so sweet and pure bringing us back to an angelic school girl phase. Really, who ever said toss Ms. Jane has got it all wrong. Our beloved Cher & Dionne from Clueless had it going on. I hope you become inspired by these photos of how adorable Mary Janes make us look & feel. xo-EJ

Rooms of Decor to Adore.
The atmosphere you surround yourself in sets the mood of your feelings. Feelings are what drives you to make a foot print in this world. Personally speaking, I love a room that sparks a pulse of imagination, creates an aura for romance or even sets the scene for a chill factor. Hopefully these photos that I've stashed away for a rainy day will motivate you into doing some new purchases, wallpapering, or even a simple feng shui. Remember, home is where the heart is.

Love the gentlemen's club vibe to this. The Aztec inspired blue is so rich & elegant it works great for either Him or Her.
Love collage inspired decor, it makes it feel more like it just landed there-relaxed. Big mirrors help expand the rooms dimensions and a lounge ottoman serves as the perfect couch. Loving the contemporary feel to this.
For a white on white approach I dig the artsy effect. If you're not into spending big $, creating your own master pieces is a great way to spend the weekend.
Something about this inspires me to hang things from the ceiling. Umbrellas or be it lights, a little twinkle from up above has got to be a good omen. :)
The Last 2 photos are great alternatives to decorating your wall without having to wallpaper or paint. Clip boards are so mod-science (and great if your someone who does to do lists) & the frame effect gives a more glamour appeal.
A fan of this for the combining of elements. Asian zen with upper aristocrat. Timeless and spiritually uplifting. Adore!
Be it nautical, french roses or your own pottery creation a great set of dinning ware goes a long way. Besides, it completes the dinner party that will have everyone talking about it for months.

A Native Touch:
Not quite sure if it's an appreciation for heritage & the culture of our Mother Earth, or possibly the mystifying colors of a lucent sunset. Either way, I can't get enough of turquoise, headdress, silver, feathers and anything else that captivates my spirit animal. I highly doubt you'll see any Native American on the worst dressed list. So be inspired & don't be afraid to wear your braided pigtails. xo-EJ

Loving everything about this, I mean what girl doesn't or hasn't dreamt of being a ballerina. Toe point slippers are a must for frills, ruffles & beaded dresses. xo-EJ
