IN SOME FORM OR FASHION

This past Saturday (June 21) marked the official first day of summer. Bring on the longer days, margaritas, BBQ, music festivals, little white dresses, & sun-kissed people everywhere - loving life.  Here's what is filling up my mental mood board so far... I'm loving the World Cup right now. Everyone cheering for the same team...USA! Perfect timing with Independence Day coming up. A few new summer trends I adore: 50 Shades of Melon...These girls took the cake for me at this year's Met Ball. Yep, they're back. But in a more refined length than those Hollister ones we all wore religiously in the early 2000s.  What is it about this whimsical looking fruit that we all love?! Who knows, but I can't get enough. Kimonos are so easy breezy & feminine...& a nice alternative to scarves! This one is for Christina Yang! One of my all-time favorite fictional characters. "Dance It Out"

Hello Friends! Happy June!  Having my own Carrie Bradshaw-esque apartment in my 20's has been a long time aspiration of mine & last November I finally made that happen. So after living in my own apartment for 6 months now, I thought it was time I share some photos of how I styled it & where I've bought my decor on a budget! I splurged on a few pieces including the couch, bed, & a new mattress when I first moved in & the rest has been collected ever since! My main requirements for accessories are colorful, cozy, whimsical, & conversation starters...Enjoy :) Couch: Cost Plus World Market, Coffee Table: Ikea, Side Table: Target, Shelf: Ikea, Pillows: Society 6, Rug: Marshall's One of my favorite accessories are these celestial coasters from Anthropologie. I love this framed Marilyn Monroe photo because it was my parent's in the 80's :) Curtains: Cost Plus World Market Bookshelf: Ikea, Rug: Marshall
