1. We are under contract!
1. We are under contract!

I’m happy to report that after 6 months of house hunting, we are finally under contract on a beautiful 3/2 home with a 2-car garage and pool (no, that is not the house pictured)! We got the great news yesterday and I haven’t stopped smiling like a magpie ever since. Granted, we still have to go through the inspection, finalize the application for our mortgage and close – but this is still really exciting for us. I’m not going to post any pictures of the house just yet, but I can tell you that it’s wonderful! I can’t wait to start decorating it and making it our own. Expect many more home decor posts from me in the next coming weeks and months. Best part is: I get to share the progression of our first home with all of you on this blog! Squee!

1. New Moon Premiere!
1. New Moon Premiere!

Although I figure a lot of the die-hards hit up the theaters last night at midnight, for the rest of us less brave souls, it’s a New Moon kinda weekend! As I’ve mentioned several times already (can’t help it, I’m excited!), I’ll be going with a group of girlfriends to check out the movie at Cinebistro Saturday afternoon. Cinebistro is for adults only (21+) and provides food and drinks as you watch the movie. I’ve never been because I had been saving it for a special movie (I’ve heard it can be pricey) and I this fits the bill! I don’t have the patience nor the energy to deal with hormonal teenage girls screaming every time Robert Pattinson’s mug comes onscreen so this was my best bet. Not to say that 20-something year olds can’t be just as fanatical, but I’d like to think we know how to class it up a little better. Afterwards, I am hosting a Twilight-themed party at my pad complete with board games, specialty drinks and fangtastic treats. I hope the rest of my little twi-hards enjoy the movie – I’ll make sure to give my two cents on Monday!

I hope everyone has a fantastic Halloween weekend! I, for one, cannot contain my excitement. My costume is ready to go and I’ll be back Monday morning with a kick ass round up of our festivities. Have a great time everyone, but remember to be safe. I’ve put together some fun Halloween-themed items to share with you all!

For all of you who are planning to have a Halloween dinner party sometime this weekend, these adorable DIY placemats would definitely make a statement! One of my favorite designers, Eddie Ross, featured these cuties along with instructions on how to make your own on his blog. So strap on your craft hat and get to work, procrastinators! 😉

1. Adorable Vintage Beach Photos
1. Adorable Vintage Beach Photos

I pretty much love vintage anything, so when I stumbled upon these engagement photos on the lovely Jeune Marie blog, I nearly exploded! How flipping cute are these??? It definitely makes me wonder why I didn’t think of this idea for our own engagement pictures – rats! [Read more…]

F21 is my hero

Everyone has their good days and their bad days.

I’ve had a succession of bad ones lately. I feel like I need some sort of change in scenery. Unfortunately, I cannot elaborate on this topic on the blog, but suffice it to say that I wish I could blog for a living. Thankfully, I have a rock ‘n roll road trip next week and Forever 21 to keep my mind entertained.

Fab Abstract Printed Skirt – $9.50

There’s nothing like a fun skirt to make going to work a little brighter. This abstract printed skirt is definitely one of those. I could see myself pairing it with a white (preferably ruffly) high neck top.

Knit High Waist Skirt – $9.50

Although I can’t say I am a fan of the show, Mad Men (the characters can’t get any more despicable to me), I love their wardrobe! This high waisted skirt gives you that lovely sexy 60’s secretary look, plus would look great paired with almost anything and worn to anything. My pick? Date night with the Mister, of course.

Zipper Rosette Top – $17.80

I’m always excited when I can dress up a tank and jeans and this cute top is a perfect example! Slap on some skinny jeans and a pair of high heels and you are ready to rock the town.

Satin Ensemble Dress – $24.80

How adorable is this little dress? I immediately thought it was the perfect daytime event dress: bridal shower, brunch date, picnic or even just to walk around South Beach hand in hand with your love or furry friends. I kind of think it is all kinds of wonderful.

67033312-01Buckled Ankle Boot – $26.80

Yum, boots! I’m a huge fan of boots but unfortunately often cannot rock them because of my pesky thick legs. How did someone so petite get cursed blessed with such large legs? It’s beyond me. Anywho, these low slung boots still give that hot fall fashion look without the height (and pain). Sign me up!

65558455-01Sequined Crochet Beret – $10.80

I’m one of those people that love hats. Big, little, bright, subdued. I love them all. This sequined crochet beret definitely screams Melificent with the perfect amount of glitter & glam while still being subdued and laid back. Now if I could only master the art of laying it on my head in that cool & nonchalant way…
