While their medium pink satchel in genuine leather is worth the $239 investment (available at YOOX.COM), the look for less is just $50.

Decorate by Number: Tropical Inspired Décor

Tropical decor inspiration

In my "Decorate by Number" series, I'm showing you how to get Pinterest-worthy decor looks for less! This week, we're heading to the tropics. For more home décor inspiration, visit my blog, A Vintage Splendor.

Although we’re half way through summer (boo!), you can bring the tropical vibes of the season filled with beach trips, vacations, and ice cream galore to your home year-round. The casual aesthetic of rattan and palm leaf wallpaper paired with rainbow hued pillows and accessories is great for those who love a casual feel with an eclectic mix of colors and textures and old with new. Tropical inspired spaces are definitely places where you can experiment with color, patterns, and off-beat pieces such as pineapple themed décor.
