Spring Fling

I like to think spring is right around the corner and with all this unsually warm weather it makes it a little more believeable. All the stores are starting to put out their spring collections and I'm falling in love with so many things! I was doing my usual online browsing and saw this amazing dress! Great style, color and price - its a style me cheaply must have!

Fab Forever Finds

Photobucket

I swung by Forever 21 on Michigan Ave. and it is full on spring apparel in there! I love warm weather clothes so I was grinning ear to ear. I did a quick walk-thru (not much time to shop) and noticed these lady-like purses. I adore the shape and it comes with a cross body strap so its a double win!

I've been thinking about this bag since I left the store so I'll be heading back to buy. I'm going with orange, its a great pop of color and to be honest the images online don't reflect the true colors, they are bright and fun!

Stella & Dot

This past weekend I hosted my first Stella & Dot trunk show. I put together some nibbles and cocktails, invited over some fab. friends and got to see the new Spring 2012 collection!
It was so much fun to catch up with the girls and get our shop on all in the comfort of my living room!

Next Project

I've been rather obsessed with the idea of having a bird cage in my apt. No bird, just the cage. I saw one a long time ago that I had to have, but of course it just didn't fit in my NYC apt. I've been heartbroken ever since.
Once I find myself a fabulous bird cage I'm planning to make it a succulent planter of sorts. I saw this image on Pinterest and I must have one! If you see any bird cages let me know!

Apartment Decor

My apartment is finally starting to come together! I've been pulling out some of my treasures that I haven't seen in a long time. These goodies are finally getting the attention they deserve! More to come in my adventures of apartment decorting.
