today is your day....nothin can stand in your way

got a little Shania kick right there...playing her station on Pandora right now. As I sit here pondering what to do next with my little loft apartment...drinking a cup of coffee and wondering why I didnt put any Baileys in it...I realized that I can utilize this blog to not only keep up on my decorating and crafting, but also to put down some other goals and if its slightly public....be more apt to complete them! A couple quick goals are to go back to school in january, start a work out/healthier eating regiment, have more money in my savings, buy a new car and buy a house. I don't really have a time line for the last three, but once I get settled back into school and start up my work outs and eating better it will be easier to plan my monetary goals. Drew and I have INSANITYYYYY so we are going to get on doing that everyday! Will update soon....


Anyway I had a pretty successful weekend with my mom shopping for the place. I got some really AWESOME stuff! Since I've started this blog I realized I really need to whip out my camera and stop taking pictures with my cell phone! Too bad that little piece of technology is hidden somewhere at my dad's house right now...but I'll get it within the next few days...along with my beanie from Peru! It's that time of year.... Ok just had ANOTHER side thought...thinking I should name this project something...the decorating of the loft. Something like...Mission Loft Alterations...or something WAY cooler, I just need to think of it. Ok really, back to my spectacular findings and projects from the weekend.
Well first of all I got the lamp I had been wanting to get sooo badly... the lamp is surprisingly really bright and I have to keep it on the setting with only two of the lights on...which is fine by me really...
and I got this rockin red vase for the bedroom.
Totally just took that pic sitting down in my living room, but you get the jist of it.. :) Drew got me a red rose yesterday so thats what is in it right now...plastic and all haha. On to the BEST part of my Saturday with my mom/awesome sister....we got a little crafty!
We bought the lampshade and stand from Target then bought all the fabrics at Joannes. I got three black and white patterns and three patterns with red in it. I ended up doing one rose in each of the black and white patterns but used only two of the red patterns. The rose I made with the third pattern just wasnt perfect and I made one more with the red zebra print one instead. I glued all the fabric roses on then my mom had some pearls and clear beads that I put in the middles! I'll have to take a picture of it in the bedroom....once I clean the bedroom!! Hehe.

Another thing I'm proud of .... sorta kinda maybe made my halloween costume? Ok i cut up a 4 year olds costume to make it fit me...but it turned out pretty cute! from this...

to this.....







here's some updates on rooms as a whole so far....

I think I might blog about it

I am feeling bloggy today! I'm about ready to fire up the instagram (and dare I say start up my tiktok?) again and in about a month I'll be making the switch to my fall/winter capsule wardrobe. But here's the thing...I'm having SO much fun in my current spring/summer one! I'm pretty sure I am going to combine them for a somewhat larger than average, but longer lasting, capsule. A lot of people switch theirs every season. I tend to switch it up every 6 months. Now it may be more of a "this is my wardrobe forever and everytime I buy something new I get rid of something with holes or stains" wardrobe.  Anyway- My incredibly loose formula for building a capsule is as follows:  Figure out my color scheme! I did a brown base for my last fall/winter and navy base for my spring/summer. I think that this time around I will do a navy base for my fall/winter, but keep in some of the brown as a secondary color. I also always have a cool off-white as my second base col...

Time for my yearly check-in!

 Ok so- (have you ever seen that video about the end of the world from ebaum's world? well this was said like that guy....)  Alright the first thing is first - I have an 18 month old daughter and am hoping to get pregnant again in the (near?) future. This means that I am living in that postpartum mama bod world and am not mentally ready to try and get slimmer yet. Maybe I never will! I have a somewhat apple/rectangle shape and lots of belly!! I am also petite in height. This makes it SO hard to find clothes that fit AND look good on me! I have searched high and low for jeans that fit and also don't give me a muffin top or fall down my narrow hips. Anyway, I have made a few purchases for some clothes that will be more flattering for my figure- finger's crossed. This means peplum tops, slacks, high waisted leggings/skinny jeans when they fit. I also have NO MONEY! So, some of my purchases have had to be through amazon and old navy in order to be able to afford clothing for my...
