curtains with trim

The decor that's been on my mind lately is curtains! Our new apartment is going to have 9ft ceilings which means the curtains I have now aren't going to work. That's one of my pet peeves, curtains that look like capris! lol I love when curtains touch the floor, it's so elegant!

One of my ideas is to buy sheer or white curtains and add trim. Here are two of my favorites!

{Spearmint Baby}

I love the dark contrast between the black tassel trim & the white flowly curtains. I love the modern vibe it gives! The cherry yellow pom pom trim is also too cute!! Still debating.... :)

Have you ever tried tassel or pom pom trim?

Ikea Lack TV Stand

 I instantly fell in love with this apartment below. {If anyone knows the source, please let me know! I saved it on my computer & forgot to add the source, oops!}I love everything about it; from the modern sleek lines to the pop of blues & greens throughout. Currently I'm on the search for a sleek & simple tv stand. I looove the tv stand in this apartment. 

First things first, I immediately went to Ikea's website! I spotted the "lack" tv stand in white for $49.99 It's definitely on the list! I then went to google and tried to find what it looked like in "real life" (: I love to do this because it gives you a better idea of the size, scale, opinions, etc.

 It is used here as a coffee table, pretty cool!

{Ikea}

This is ikea's picture above. Absolutely love it! I love the way you can still decorate around it. That's a MUST! =)

 Has anyone owned the ikea lack tv stand? Likes or dislikes? I'll let you know if I decide to buy it or not! =)

iPhone Case Shopping

My Kate Spade iPhone case broke yesterday. I was sad, but also excited to get a new one. Love when that happens! I went to the website Society 6 & oh my goodness. The choices. The designs. Ahhh! Haha There were sooo many to choose from! Here were my top 10:











And the winner is the last one {the yellow vw!} It is especially close to my heart because I own a VW! Although it isn't pink or turquoise with sparkles {like my usual picks haha} it is very different & unique which I also absolutely love. The one that came in a very close second was #9, that may be my next one. I love all the vintage 50s clothes in front of that cute shop.

Have you ever been to Society 6? If you haven't, go check it out!

Better Homes and Gardens

One of my favorite magazines is Better Homes & Gardens. I've been waiting for the magazine subscription to go on sale at Amazon. I was on Pinterest the other day & someone pinned this picture. Yay! I went to Better Homes & Gardens website & quickly ordered my subscription! =) The link is at the bottom of the home page. I'm so excited! Hopefully I'll get a magazine before my upcoming ski trip. I need to stock up on magazines for the trip! Just thought I'd share this deal with you all! Thank you once again pinterest! ;)

A few of my other favorites are Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Country Living, In Style, Real Simple . . . I like them all! I'm waiting for those to go on sale too! haha What are your favorite magazines?

Kate Spade Love

Kate Spade is one of my favorites! I don't think I have ever came across something that I didn't love. Everything is so positive, cheerful, & colorful. What more could you want? =) I've talked about Kate Spade previously, here. I'd love to go to her New York store! Maybe sometime this year, hopefully!

I love this bangle. On the outside of the bangle it has engraved, "partners in crime, peas in a pod, sidekicks, birds of a feather, two of a kind, perfect pairs" & on inside engraved it says "best friend ever." Too cute! It's $58. It's suppose to be for a bridesmaid gift, but every time I see it, it makes me think of me & my husband. Hopefully it will go sale soon. =) {Click the picture to go to the link}

I was in Nordstrom the other day and came across this adorable ipad case. It is super cute!! 

Target Jewelry

Have you noticed that Target has a lot of really cute jewelry?! I have to tell myself to keep walking whenever I pass the jewelry section. When my husband is with me, he knows to hold my hand & walk really fast like we are in a hurry to get to the grocery section part of the store until we pass the jewelry counter! lol Here are a few of my faves:






The best is that all of the pieces are $16.99 & under! I love it! There is a pair of earrings that I have my eye on, but I couldn't find them online. It's a pair of drop earrings with a beautiful blue round gem stone. It's yellow gold-tone too. FABULOUS! Happy shopping!

Eat Cake for Breakfast!

As soon as I laid eyes on the Kate Spade bag "Eat Cake for Breakfast" I fell in love! It's so cute! It even has a yorkie on top, which is a plus!! But at $248, it's way over budget!! I'm looking for a cute tote bag so I can attempt to make a DIY version. I'm waiting on the stores to come out with their summer totes & beach bags. Until then, I'll dream about this one!

kitchen rugs

I'm looking at a couple of rugs on Urban Outfitters for the kitchen. Here are the top contestants! =)



















Which one is your favorite?

ikea to the rescue!

I love this pink chair! It's $279, not bad at all. Now, if only there was a way to add nail-head trim . . . =)

going natural!

I was browsing through my In Style magazine and found this ad. I love her lipstick color! After doing some googling, I found that it is the shade "Boy."

Isn't this such a pretty shade? I love that the shade is very natural. 

Michael Kors iphone

Hopefully soon I will be the owner of a new iphone! AT&T is now offering the iphone 3 for $50. How cool is that?! Even though there is an iphone 5 coming out, I'm definitely not hung up on having the latest in technology... I'll just be thankful to have an iphone! lol Anyways, I'm really wanting this wallet clutch for the iphone! It's definitely on my wish list. I really like it because there isn't a need to take it out of the case unless you are taking a picture. It will also minimize having a wallet & a phone case. I love a clutter free purse! I need to start saving now. ;)

anthro lovin'

Have you ever been to Anthropologie? I haven't! The closest store location in around 2 hours or so away. I'm sure it would be well worth the trip!

This rug is beeeeautiful! I would put it in the kitchen in front of the sink. It's so bright & cheery! The $149 price tag is pretty pricey {& that's on sale!} Though, it would be a wonderful investment if you have the moolah! hehe

I love these bowls! They are $8 each. I think they would be beautiful on my open shelving in the kitchen. Too cute! I may have to watch my e-mail for a free shipping coupon soon... =)
