You remember those vintage suitcases I bought for $5 at a garage sale this summer?
Until now I've used them to prop up my book cover frame, but this weekend I decided to switch it up a bit. In last week's Links to Save By, I showed you decorating ideas using suitcases and I was inspired by one of the projects.
My new way of decorating with my vintage cases takes up minimal space and even doubles as storage. Oh, and it took just minutes to do.

Last week I attended an event that combined my two loves: fashion and home decor. TJ Maxx launched their latest campaign, Maxx Life, and costume designer Jenn Rogien {Girls, Orange is the New Black, etc.} dished on how to tell the story of who your are via what you wear and how you decorate your living space.
At this interactive event, we were given a character narrative and then had to create a full look for our woman to wear as well as decorate a bookshelf that represented our girl's overall aesthetic. Our home and style needs were met with finds from TJ Maxx!
