Bohemian Fall accessories 🍁


Free 30 day trial 

These super cute Aster spike earrings came in one of my recent Rocksbox packages.  Rocksbox has been killing it with their styles and designs recently even more then ever.  I have been keeping 1-2 pieces per box where I use to keep one piece maybe every 3-5 boxes.  You can sign up for a free month by clicking on the Rocksbox link above or below then using my personal code MELISSASBFF20 for your free 30 day trial.  Trust me you will be hooked once you experience the revolving door of lovely jewelry and you can personalize your wishlist where you receive items you love and not have surprise pieces coming that you would never wear.  Recently they even changed it where now you can swap one item each month also.  Love this box and I have tried so many subscription boxes, at one time I had like 10 and now have 2.  Try it out whats there to lose?



These cute suede tie front slides by Bamboo shoes I got on IG for $14.  I follow a shop called @smokinhotstudio and happened to see they posted a sale on some of their shoes as well as some other cute fashion pieces so I couldn't pass them up.  Always looking for comfy slip on shoes for wearing to run errands or just on chilling days.  You cannot beat the price.


Next up got these bags off eBay, they are handmade round shaped rattan wicker purses.  These are very on trend right now and can cost from $55-125, this one is 20. Around and I won them both for $24 with free shipping.  They have a lovely fabric lining and leather strap and closure.  The smell is amazing also and love how no two are alike.  Lots of room for small wallet and some other miscellaneous items.


My yellow buddha and the embroidered Indonesian pillows are all from Homegoods but the buddha I have had for close to 10 years and the cushions or pillows I got back in May for my bistro table out front.


Last up my mom grabbed this necklace for $3 on sale normally it is only $5 at Walmart.  It isn't something I would have ever picked up for myself but the day she got it my new Spell and the Gypsy collective Lion Heart items arrived and it matches so good with the sage/olive green, peach and pink tones.  Be sure to check out my IG for photos of my new Spell pieces which are some of my all time favorites as well as tomorrow I will be posting all those photos here live on my blog.

Have a wonderful night and sorry I have been creating my blog posts on my phone daily but then have not had time to come onto my laptop to edit, add links, and change size of photos before making my posts live to the public so that is why you are seeing 2-4 posts a day and then none for 2-4 days.  I am working on getting more time to post daily or at the least every other day but right now I am a single parent basically and my girls both have the most craziest and hectic schedules with sports and after school clubs.  I barely have time to think yet alone edit posts and take photos it really is not easy.

Hope everyone has a great mid week and I will be away for a few days in the mountains but will be sure to post a few scenic photos.  I may take a break for the weekend but I will be sure to take a lot of photos I can post when we get back, looking forward to some quality time together all four of us.  Peace, love and light always,  Melissa xoxo

What is inside your bedside nightstand and on top?

I wanted to post a couple photos of my pillows I have for my bed. I posted some photos of some new fabrics and then some new colors I want to bring into the room. Right now I have a lot of blue, kind of a turquoise aqua blue and gray. I also love white and silver Asian pieces. I have foo dogs and lots of Buddhas.

My night stand is my favorite part of my room because I keep the essentials. What do you have in or on your night stand? I took the nightstand that has two drawers versus the one on hubby's side that has a drawer then a lower shelf. The bottom drawer has photos albums, heating pad, neck massager, a bath and body works back rubber/massager I force hubby to use one nights my back is killing me, a pair of soft fuzzy scented with lavender socks, some foot lotion, sleep hand cream and some lavender pouches for my pillow. Top drawer has medicine and vitamins in a child safety daily organizing container, reading glasses, nail file, eye cover for sleeping when needed, phone cases, my phone charger that I ran through back of the drawer, pen and notebook, retainer, lip balm, eye cream, cuticle oil, lavender spray, cute little feather(adult item) then an amazing Slumber parties 3 in 1 massage candle in earth angel scent. I'm sure there are more little things I forgot. I like to keep everything I can think of I may need before bed, in middle of the night or morning. I'm actually waiting for my dollar store to get the drawer organizer I have in my bathroom drawer. I also have a hair brush and some hair ties.

On top of night stand I have a lamp, I am a reader. I love to read as much as I enjoy writing, baking, blogging, decorating and photography. Every night after I shower and do my evening beauty routine I lay down with my five year old and read her versus from the bible. Right now we are reading up on the message behind Easter. We love to read together and it takes me back to my childhood being I was raised pretty strict catholic but attended a baptist school also.

After we read from the bible I usually read her a book of her choice then she usually will go to bed and that is when I read whatever book I happen to be into at the time, usually something I pick up at the library. I love suspense, thrillers, novels, art books, healthy eating and living books, interior design books and lately photography books:).

I have a silver Buddha I got as a present from my mom. I have two Buddhas on my dresser that are candle holders we got like eight years ago at target lol. I love Buddhas they make me think peace. I have a framed photo from my wedding, and one of my daughters, my favorite bath and body works candle in a silver holder and a white owl, I love owls all my friends and family buy me owl stuff lol. It's like Pepe the skunk stuff I use to collect all his stuff when I was younger even had a Pepe and Penelope cake topper.

I also have a cute little wooden phrase plaque I got from one of my dear and amazing friends that says "well behaved women have no fun". Lol. Back when she gave it to me we use to always be going out dancing and having fun, I would feel bad leaving my kids home and she use to tell me well behaved women have no fun.

I will post a few photos of my items in night stand and the pillows I love. Working on a post with some ideas for colors, accents and other things for my master bedroom and bathroom along with my living room. I'm trying to get rid of the brown. I have always used brown as my neutral and then would build around the brown, beige, tab and cream color with some accent colors. Now I'm trying to get rid of brown and do a lot of pops of color. It's enough to have a brown leather large sectional but then brown in pillows, rugs, decor and accents is too much. I want to paint a wall bright turquoise and already have a red wall and a orange wall. I have been feeling inspired. Something clicked in me a couple of weeks ago and decided to take frustration I had, turn it into energy for pursing my passions. Photography, writing, baking and decorating:). Also shopping lol.

Enjoy photos and will be posting more very soon. Yee, Birchbox and Ipsy should arrive today:).
