I have some exciting news....

Nope, no bun in the oven and no wedding to plan. Is it just me, or is that all people are doing these days? (no offense if you are one of those lovely ladies) I think in my circle of friends (or as my Facebook newsfeed would say) that seems to be the new thing! But for me, the exciting news is.......

I moved! Back to Hoboken! I am so excited to move back to this wonderful city full of amazing people and arguably the best view of the New York skyline on the planet! This little town on the Hudson holds a very special place in my heart as I lived there for 3 years -- as a single and working gal just trying to make it on her own -- and the place I met the love of my life-- that's you D : ) Not to mention with all the devastation my city has seen from Hurricane Sandy, I hope to give back to the city that has given so much to me, and help rebuild.
On another note -- I hope you all will join me on my decorating journey to make this apartment the sweetest home ever. D and I are excited to find such a steal in Hoboken (it's seriously 3x larger than our little cubicle apartment we had before) so the decorating ideas are endless. "There's just so much room for activities!"

Some things I'm loving/ideas we ( I ) came up with include:

Turning a small awkward room in my dream walk in closet
Exposed brick in the living room
Two faux fireplaces = decorating mantle HEAVEN!
his/her office with chalkboard wall....and other chalkboard projects
Sliding barn door for our bedroom
Man cave/Hobby room for all of D's activities (he plays guitar) that will double as a guest bedroom when we have visitors
Decorating for Christmas like yesterday!


So excited to document my apartment decorating/projects on the blog and I hope you are too! 
Stay tuned : )

Just add a scarf...

Sometimes just adding a scarf can give a plain basic look a little bit of a different feel. I love this scarf because the plaid print is perfect to keep you cozy during the winter months. And it gives this plain outfit that extra something it needed to not be boring.
Love my fur-berry scarf! (fur-berry = fake Burberry)
I just can't rationalize spending $300 on a scarf I'll probably just lose on the subway anyway. So cheers to my $2.99 scarf from Walmart!! : )
Outfit Details:
Scarf: Walmart // Tunic: H&M // Leggings: Gap
Boots: Bakers // Watch: Michael Kors
Anyone else not ashamed to rock Walmart copy cats of designer stuff?

Winterize with shades of blue

This is another summer dress got winterized by adding the classic essentials -- the cardigan, tights and boots. Another amazing way to mix and match your wardrobe. Especially if you are on a shopping ban or are on a tight budget like me ; )
Outfit Details:
Navy Cardigan, floral dress, navy tights: Target (can't you tell how much I love this store!?)
Belt: Gap // Boots: Bakers // Watch: Michael Kors //Bracelet: Tory Burch
 Hope you all have a lovely weekend : )
