We love a good bookshelf. Not only are they a great way to display and organize your favorite books but they are also quite easy to accessorize with frames, bookends and other home decor items. When it comes to styling a bookshelf though, stick to these 5 easy and simple rules.
1. Color Coordinate: Trust us, it looks good. Stack books with similar hues both vertically and horizontally throughout your bookshelf. It’s pleasing to the eye, stylish and it may even help you remember that great beach read from last summer.
2. Incorporate Different Focal Points: Bookshelves make it easy to also display some of your favorite pictures, paintings and home accessories. Objects like bookends and vases can easily fit within the shelves and help establish various focal points.
3. Symmetry: If you feel like your bookshelf isn’t as organized as you would like, try placing collectables and objects between books. Don’t be afraid of space as it’s important to scatter books to punctuate the look.
4. Extend Your Color Scheme: Painting the back of the bookshelf the same color as your walls can help make the room appear larger and provide a sense of unity. Not into painting? Try utilizing accessories in the same hue as your walls to bring the space together.
5. Ultimate Photo Gallery: Depending on the length and width of your shelves, a built in bookshelf can make the ultimate photo gallery wall. Be sure to mix and match frames using modern and antique frames throughout the wall.

With the drab winter weather constantly drying out our skin, it’s so important we stay on top of our daily beauty routines. Not only to keep our skin hydrated but more importantly, to help stay on top of the anti-agning process. This winter la prairie has debuted a new collection based on a rare discovery of survivalist plants. La prairie’s new Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Ice Collection includes both a rich face cream and dry oil in which both include a rare combination of extracts to help protect skin from daily assaults.
We were able to test out the new line and both products are a must-try. The Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Cream uses a patent-pending complex of Alpine floral to help minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while hydrating your skin. Our recommendation is to use this cream in the morning and at night after cleansing, and apply to the face and neck.
The Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Dry Oil is also very hydrating but doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily. We actually like to combine the dry oil with the cream to enhance the hydrating elements of the moisturizer. According to la prairie researchers, the Dry Oil is made up of a unique blend of ingredients that helps protects the skin’s DNA and speeds up the rejuvenation of the skin and halts collagen degradation.
You can shop the new Cellular Swiss Crystal Ice Collection on www.laprairie.com. We’re sure your skin will thank you. Xo - GOLP
Miles high in the Swiss Alps, in a world of sheer ice crystals, beauty transcends time. Here, two seemingly fragile plants and one tiny algae survive and thrive in the harshest setting on earth, developing strategies to outwit the environment. It’s only fitting then that la prairie, with a heritage deeply rooted in Switzerland, harnessed these extreme-survivalist secrets into the Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Collection. The discovery combines some of the most sophisticated survivalist secrets.
