West Elm Midcentury Lamps

Currently drooling over these midcentury style lamps at West Elm. They're called Roar + Rabbit Ceramic Table Lamp, White, Tall. And currently on sale for 20% off. They would go great in our living room. Now just have to check that pesky budget...

We Bought A House!

This announcement is a little late...but this past March we bought a house! It's a 1959 brick facade with a fully finished basement. It's really well built and I am having a lot of fun decorating. So far, we have the living room down but there are lots of exciting plans for the rest! More updates to come ;)

I Believe I Can Fly

So while I'm in a posting mood lately, I'm just going to roll with it :P I have made outfits with this jacket several times on this blog, but I've never really gone into detail about it. It is part of an old uniform worn by Eastern Airline attendants. The logo is even on the buttons, which I really like. So here are some shots of the details, and the latest outfit (this shirt is from H&M). And yes, I was apparently too lazy to put down my iPod, haha!

 

And of course, what would a blog be without ever featuring a myspace pose? LOL ^_^

Outfit No.10

So I was walking around the aisles in Urban Outfitters awhile back and nothing was really striking me until I did a double take and saw this dress. It's a great fit and style...and the best part...POCKETS!  The jacket is from H&M and I thought it went really well together. Also pictured is an old necklace my Granny gave me—it's a cutout buffalo nickel!

 

 

Outfit No.9

More sewing has ensued since yesterday. I repaired one dress today and altered another that I've had sitting around for awhile. That is the one I am wearing today, and here are a few pictures!

Outfit No.8

Movin' On Up

...Well technically I'm on the first floor. So when I say "movin' on up" I mean that I have bedrooms with doors, a peephole, dish washer, phone jack, central heating and A/C...and carpet! I really didn't mind all that much living without those things in my last place, but I do admit I am really enjoying having them now. :)

House-tile-ish

So I am moving into a new apartment soon, yay! I'm really excited because it's in a great area near a park with the cutest market right down the street — it feels like I've been warped in a time machine every time I go in there. I am going to have two small bedrooms (...with doors! An upgrade from my current abode, haha!), a tiny but cozy kitchen, tiled bathroom, central heat/AC, and tons of closet space. The complex was built in the 50's and each building has its own unique characteristics, style, and layout. Being as I will be moving soon, I've been looking at ideas on how to decorate my new space! And I thought I would share some of the cool inspirations I've found—here they are!
