Blur

Hello beautiful strangers. It has indeed been a long time since I've posted. My life has been a complete blur since my last post about my birthday because my internship has been taking over my life. I hardly know what day it is any more and I also completely forgot to post pics from graduation! With that aside, life has been treating me well though. The internship is great. I've been meeting so many new people and learning so much about business and Nordstrom. I just started online business classes so I can work full time. I also finished a super fun photo shoot to help out a friend with an online boutique (photo above)! So pretty much I'm a full time employee, student, daughter, and girlfriend.

Thanksgiving Eve Fun

So it's been awhile since my last post and I apologize. It's been a crazy week full of school and work. Being a full time student and employee can make one go insane and forget what day of the week it is. I am so grateful for today because it's a day where I have work AND school off. It's my first time in a long time with nothing to do and a chance for me to go out and catch up with my loves. I went to eat Pho with my so called twin (it's the cheeks and nose)  this afternoon. The weather was perfect; wore a baggy white v-neck and threw on a chambray with leggings and added leopard wedges. Side note....if you don't know what "Pho" is. look it up and try it. You'll thank me later. Seriously. After lunch we took a quick stop at the mall and I picked up and new pair of ankle boots. They. Are. Brilliant. I'll post them in the days to come. Then we went back to her house to hang out and be girls and that's where I took my meditating/indianstyle/buddha/asian pose. 

Came back home and 30 minutes later received a phone call from my best friend asking if I wanted to go to dinner with her, mind you, this was at 4:30 and I just got done eating. Of course I wanted to go with her because I haven't seen her in 3824 years (yea i know...i like to exaggerate). We went to a classy lounge and I had a crabcake sandwich, side salad, and White Moscato from California. You can bet your bottom dollar I ate the whole thing. I now am getting food coma from all of the eating, but there's more eating to come tomorrow. Goodnight! 

Escape Pt. 2

Believe it or not almost everything you see here is from the one and only "Ross." If you don't know what a Ross is, it's equivalent to a Marshalls and TJ Max. I swear these types of retailers have the best selection of home decor. The items from Ross are the two stands with leaves and birds, the patterned mini stool that I am in LOVE with (I sit on it when I do my makeup), and this amazing one of a kind beaded, gypsy inspired storage box. The photo doesn't do the storage box justice at all. All of these items came to an amazing 70 ish dollars and the blue lamp I got for 20 at Target. LOVE. My curtains from Urban Outfitters add funky-ness to my room which I think is great. I still need more wall decor to add more of a cozy vibe. I have one in mind from Ross again, I just need to go pick it up. Hopefully I'll run into more great pieces for my room as the days go by.

Escape Pt. 1

Say Bonjour to my humble abode. We recently renovated my house and after 22 years I finally received my own room. My interior decorating side immediately took over me and I knew that I wanted a cozy room, a place where I could escape, my home in my home. I painted my walls a light warm yellow. I'm so glad that I chose this color because even on the rainiest day, it makes my room even more welcoming. I also purchased this beautiful quilt from Urban Outfitters which adds a great contrast to the yellow and a super funky curtain panel also courtesy of Urban. I did buy rugs before I bought my bedding and the color scheme of the rug is pretty much the same of my quilt so I have to find new rugs because I feel as if it's just an explosion of color. Any suggestions on what type of rug? If there's one thing that I love about my new room it would have to be my own closet space and also the lights I have hanging. I used to have lights hanging in my old room but I felt as if they were just there; now these lights finally fit in somewhere. There's also furniture in the other corner of my room that is not pictured. That's for Part 2, so stay tuned!
