recent obsessions

Recently I have been working on redecorating my apartment. I have had so much fun picking out lamps, rugs and placemats! I found so many cute things, which made the decisions difficult at times. I learned that when decorating it is key to take your time deciding between items. The more love you put into something, the more rewarding the result is.

Here are a few items I was fortunate enough to have found:

Etsy

Missoni inspired rug from Urban Outfitters

Modern block lamp from Target

Life Lasting


I hate jeans. There, I said it. I am not a fan of the denim pant. I find them restricting and uncomfortable sometimes.  I wear leggings everywhere, because as of recently it is the only alternative I have found.

But, now, I am the proud owner of too many pairs of J. Crew pixie pants. These pants fit like leggings and are thick enough to keep you warm! They last a lifetime. I am so obsessed with them!!

Spring has Sprung?



It was 60 degrees in Kansas City today. That is not normal JANUARY weather. Is it safe to say spring came early this year? We can only hope! But for now I am just going to day dream about spring trends.

Color blocking is huge this season. Pairing two bright colors together not only gives you more options from your closet but it also allows you to re-wear pieces.

Mixing and matching colors is so easy. All you have to do is look in your closet for two solid color pieces of clothing! Who would have thought that emerald green pants would compliment a dark plum blouse so well?

Happy blocking!
