Fall Inspiration

Even though we are in the last few days of summer, the weather has been cooling off and I am thinking ahead to fall. Here are a few inspiration boards I put together from Forever 21's fall collection.

A Few Things

Here are a few things this week making me happy:

Classic Lasagna via Annie's Eats (From Pinterest)

-Staying in and making a home cooked meal with my fiance

-A closet full of dresses, most thrifted for under $10. Can't go wrong there.

Red Velvet Brownies, recipe via Smells Like Home

-Sister shopping date where after these delicious brownies and baked and quickly consumed

-New bar set up for entertaining, all pieces thrifted (except the booze ;)) Ian makes a mean Old Fashioned.

Looking over these photos makes me want to take a trip down to my favorite Saver's. However as we are in the middle of Irene I think that will have to wait... Hope everyone is staying safe out there!

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

This is one of the negatives to owning cats who don't always get along. I woke up this morning to this cute turquoise pot smashed on the floor. It used to sit on our dining room table & house a pretty plastic flower arrangement put together by my best friend.

On the bright side, this means I'm on the lookout for a new centerpiece. I sense a DIY coming on.

Mini Kitchen Makeover

Hello!

Ian and I are in the middle of a mini kitchen makeover. When we moved in, the kitchen walls were painted a "pea soup" green, which made the small kitchen feel dark, cramped, and unappealing. We rent, so unfortunately we are a little limited to what we can do, beyond painting. I chose a light aqua blue (Olympic's "Blue Dusk") to color to brighten up the room:

We are in the middle of finishing up painting, hopefully we will have new curtains and decorations hung up by the end of the weekend. Until then, here are a few photos from Pinterest that served as inspiration for the color scheme:

More to follow!

Here are a few picks from Shop Ruche I am currently drooling over. Love the classic cuts and ladylike prints!

Bring the sunshine in!

Hello!

I love, love, love the idea of an an indoor citrus tree. What a great way to bring some sunshine in, especially during the colder months. Plus, think of making cocktails for houseguests using limes or lemons picked right from your indoor garden. Mhmmmm. Here is some inspiration below from Pinterest:

Thinking Spring

Hello!

Now that March is officially here, I'm starting to think spring. My birthday is coming up (3/12) and I'll be treating myself to a little spring shopping. Here is my wishlist/inspiration so far below:

I'm thinking lots of flowy, airy nuetrals and delicate patterns. Light cardigans with embellishments, wedge sandals, and cat eye glasses are on my radar. Maybe it's been the long winter (which is hopefully coming to an end!), but I'm not really feeling anything too bright or bold.
