Kristin Cavallari & Chelsea Bulte of Emerald Duv Jewelry Q&A for Home & Styles by #momthebuilder

Kristin Cavallari & Chelsea Bulte of Emerald Duv Jewelry

I'm sure we can all agree on loving Kristin since the 'Laguna Beach' days. I always loved her dgaf attitude and tell it like it is personality. Now days she's a fashion designer, actress, mommy, and has the most fabulous jewelry line ever with her bestie Chelsea who also is a gorgeous mommy and jewelry designer.

The name of their jewelry line is Emerald Duv, so catchy right? You go girls! So, it's not just the name I love though. Remember when I did a blog post about my personal style? Well, anyway I'm a super duper fan of turquoise, like I could wear it every day with every outfit no matter what! This line is really trendy but completely different at the same time. I mean where else could you find best friend necklaces that say "best bitches" or a necklace that says "fuck" and still looks so chic? Ummm no where! Besides the good use of bad language in a piece of jewelry their stuff is timeless and so GORG. 

I'm always very intrigued when someone has a great fashion sense or is a designer of anything. The first thing I think of as a furniture designer and such a lover of interior design is what their house looks like and what their personal home style is like. That's why this q&a sesh once a week is so fun for me AND I get to share it with all of you.

Enjoy! Xx

HGTV's Flip Or Flop host Christina El Moussa Q&A for Home & Styles by #momthebuilder

Christina El Moussa Co-Host of HGTV's Flip Or Flop

So let me just start by saying how obsessed I am with this show and if you have not seen it yet it is a MUST for sure. Christina is a beautiful wife and mother who just so happens to star in a HGTV hit show with her husband. But she's not just a pretty face, this girl can put a Beverly Hills home to shame with one of their auction flippers. She has an eye for design and is always surprising me with the most amazing renovations ever. She has inspired me in many ways, one of which is never judging a book by its cover when it comes to house hunting. You can ALWAYS make something that was once quite ugly very pretty, especially if you watch a few Flip Or Flop episodes to get some great tips. I love her out of the box thinking, luxury has no limits with Christina. It does not matter where the home location is or what the home looks like at the time of purchase, by the end it will be perfection. Be sure to tune in Tuesdays 9pm I 8c.

One of my favorite before & afters from Flip Or Flip

q: Tell me how you would describe your home style.

a: Hmm this is a hard question. It doesn't fit under one category. We our currently remodeling our entire home and we are going with a lot of black, white, gray, and silver colors. As in custom black cabinets with modern counters and gray flooring. I add some of my flare with geometric pillows, fur throws, and chandeliers. I like clean lines but with some glam elements.

q: What about your home would surprise people?

a: We took out two bedrooms and added a home gym. 

q: Does your home reflect your fashion style?

a: Yes. I like both my clothing and my home to be pretty with a little edginess thrown in. 

q: What or who inspires you?

a: My Friend Bethany owner of pink laundry boutique in villa park. She has 4 kids, runs her own biz and is so genuinely nice and classy and is always so effortlessly put together . Also her home (she designed herself) is one of the best decorated and designed homes I've ever seen

q: & most importantly. What is your personal favorite Salvaged Soul piece

a: One piece that I really love is the custom rustic kid and/or doggie barn door gate. Normally these gates are such an eye sore. But you made it a true design piece. I think it's so rad and I will definitely get one when I have another baby (or get a puppy) whichever comes first
