Apartment Guts.



Cute, don't you think? Of course, since is does add a lot of flavor to a space, I don't think putting it on a wall with a bunch of clutter is very wise.

I just moved into a new apartment and all I think about are how to stylize it to make it uniquely me and homey. So far we've added plants, trinkets from Pier One Imports, paintings, photographs, and great finds from thrift stores. Its coming along pretty well, but I do have to keep in mind to avoid clutter. Sometimes it is very hard when you come across must have finds...
The only disadvantage about the apartment are the white walls. I've come to find that wall decals can brighten up a room instantly and they are easy to remove as well. I am thinking of getting the owl decal.


There are many other decals available online, a favorite place of mine is Urbanoutfitters.com

Why I Love Leather




If you haven't heard of bpleathercraft.com, you should familiarize yourself with it. Immediately. There is a plethora of unique leather accessories that range from genuine leather purses to keychains. I recently purchased this owl bag from the site and it is my favorite purse of all time. Everywhere I go, people ask where I purchased the bag. At first I lied because I wanted to be the only person in my town with this purse, but then I felt guilty and thought I shouldn't be so stingy. My next investment will probably be the fish bag. I don't think my textbooks or laptop could fit in it. Oh well.

gladiator sandal madness.




I can't help but be obsessed with gladiator sandals. I am a slave to them. I just purchased a pair on ebay that are just like the Chanel Gladiator sandals that are too expensive for any normal person to afford. I've slobbered when I would see them on the runways and on the feet of celebrities, but now they belong to MEEEEEE. Too bad I go to school in Michigan and cannot wear them all year.
