Pinterest Lately

Pinterest lately..
Apartment/Home Edition.
I know, holy crap, I'm posting on a Saturday and it's midnight.
Well I'm feeling very motivated, and since I didn't post yesterday {I'm sorry} I thought I would make it up to you today. haha.

I love these posts, I love when people do Pinterest posts, mainly because I'm addicted to Pinterest.
But it's good to see what is out there.
Unfortunately, Pinterest changed and I can no longer used the embed version to add to my blog, so I have to manually save each photo and then upload them. Pain in the butt!
How does everyone else do it, with the new Pinterest update?

I need to do this for my bathroom. It's adorable, but I can't sew, so I don't know how else to do it?
Any suggestions?
This would look so cute in our bathroom.



These chevron "canvas" are actually cardboard boxes. Genius!

 

These initial is just made from washers you can purchase at Home Depot or Lowes, maybe even Wal-Mart.

I'm looking for something to add to my coffee table, and this is also made out of cardboard and they just added fabric. How genius and affordable!


Some of my cute finds for your home or apartment. 

I seriously love Pinterest, and I will admit it, I'm a pinning addict. :D

Have a great night. It's time for my bed time!

New York & Company Haul and Fitting Room Pics

It's finallly Thursday, which means, we're officially one day away from the weekend!
Happy Thursday!

I mentioned a few weekends ago I went shopping for work clothes, well today I finally got around to taking pictures. :)
Everything was purchased from New York and Company, and I have a few fitting room pictures to share as well. They're my favorite because they're stored in my phone and I could always reference outfits I picked out. Does anyone else do this?



I bought two skirts, a tan and a denim one. Not real denim but a denim finish look to it.



I also picked up two new tops that would be perfect for spring. I love the teal colored one. 

 

This is an adorable cardigan set. I love the colors of the tank.

 

And a plain black top and a brown silky shirt, that is so cute on! 

 

And two new spring necklaces, I think they were only $6.99 each!

 

And some fitting room pictures.

I would probably tuck in the last shirt, but just took the photo quick. 

Anyway, have a great night everyone! I'm off to eat some dinner the fiance made. :)

Have a great night!

Statement Necklaces & Upcoming DIY Bracelets

Happy Hump Day!

That always sounds so wrong, but I did it, I made it over the hump. Only 2 more days before I finally, finally get to sleep in. It's been 3 weeks. And you wait and see I won't be able to sleep in on Saturday. Ahhh!
I have nothing exciting for you today besides some awesome necklaces I found while I was cleaning my room at home this past weekend. 
I found necklaces I forgot about and can't wait to wear for this coming spring, whenever that is

Have a great night!

Weekend Shopping & Naked 2 Giveaway Reminder

Happy Monday!

I am SO exhausted. 
These past three weekends I have not been able to relax, and I keep going, going, going.
I am looking forward to this weekend, needless to say. 
It's only Monday and I already want to take a nap. 
Which might be happening after I blog. haha.
Anyone else ever feel this way??

Anyway, I have some photos from the weekend, which was very hectic. 
I finally got to see my best friend and her little belly. (she's pregnant with her first little one!)
That made my day. :)
Love you !

Got to spend time with friends, and did a little bit of shopping. 
Sunday was spent with families and eating, eating a lot!

I'm going to share the outfit I wore on Saturday. 
I was rebelling with my whole biker jacket look. I dress professional all week I wanted to wear something comfortable! :P

My Easter Nails

Happy Thursday everyone!

I can't believe Easter is this Sunday.
It came SO quickly! 

I'm heading home this weekend, so I'm really excited.
I decided to do my nails in an Easter theme as well. It was actually really simple to do. 


 photo DSC01685_zps32bbaf11.jpg  photo DSC01682_zps65b8ec16.jpg 

 I simply used a dotting tool and used it to create the bunny eyes and noses. And used a toothpick to create the bunny. 

Real simple and easy to do, and gets a lot of attention. Haha.
Someone even asked if I had my nails done. :)

Anyway, not sure if I could post tomorrow, if I can't I'll post Saturday..

Have a great night everyone!

Just going to share outfits from the last two days. 
It seems like I am getting a lot of requests from them. 

So here are two from the last two days of work.
