WooHoo! It's not just Friday, it's Friday before a three day weekend! I am looking forward to having a staycation and catching up on cleaning, blogging and hubby time. My Friday Finds this week is very random, I thought about doing a BBQ theme or a patriotic theme for memorial weekend, but I kept finding random things that I really wanted to have. I feel like it's much better to share my favorite things with you (as dis-conjoined as they may be) than to stick with a specific theme. I have really been wanting a new pair of cowgirl boots to wear with dresses this summer, and these are only $50! They have a red pair too! I would totally put 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 together in one outfit. And number 10 is such an amazing blouse! I would seriously love to own all of these items!

Do you have any big plans for this weekend?

Organizing Small Spaces: Office Inspiration

I complain about my lack of horizontal space in my apartment all the time. Living in a big city on a tiny budget, usually ends in this type of scenario. I have more than some, but less than I'd like. Notice I said "like" instead of "need." I don't need all the shit I have, I just happen to want it all. My apartment is under 800 square feet (I'd guess closer to 700 sq ft). It is an older building with rounded ceilings and weird doorways. My husband and I, just have too many things in our little apartment. It is NEVER organized. I try to keep the clutter confined to a couple corners here and there, but stuff accumulates everywhere, all. the. time.

My husband and I never planned on being in this apartment longer than a year, but it's been 2.5. We like the neighborhood and we're not willing to sacrifice moving to a slightly bigger place and trading our commute times or our safety. So, I am trying to work with what I have. The first project on my list is an office space. We have a desk in our bedroom, but my husband recently moved his computer into the kitchen (because our kitchen table is really just a decoration). Now that he has vacated the bedroom, I want to create a home office space. I want to have an organized space were I can file important documents, sort mail and blog. I am thinking mass shelving is the way to go, since I lack floor space, I will need to build up.

I am planning on using my three day weekend to sort this all out, so I have turned to Pinterest for inspiration! If you have any tips on organizing small spaces, I am all ears!

Anything + Everything Blog Hop #10

You may recognize this skirt from my Lucky FABB recap post. I wore this on the first day of the conference last month. Although I really like this skirt, it can be really obnoxious to wear! The elastic waistband is forever riding up and I keep having to tug on it. I hate having to fidget with clothing while I am out in public. In all honesty, I'm begining to hate anything with an elastic waistband, even those dresses with a stretchy seam to make them an empire waist annoy me. I have a really short torso and the elastic is infamous for hitting me in the worst spot on my hips and making me look 3 inches wider than I really am. I am all about defining your waist with a belt, but these garments with built-in elastic waists bands are just not doing it for me. It's sheath dresses and woven skirts all the way for me from now on!

Welcome to the 10th Anything + Everything blog hop!! I can't believe it's been ten weeks already!! Tuesdays have become one of my favorite days, because I get to meet so many new bloggers! If you're new to this hop, it's really simple. There is a very short list of directions below, and you can basically link up anything (and everything) you've been working on lately! Whether it's your new favorite recipe, the skirt you just scored on clearance, or your summer playlist, share it all! Starting this week, I am doing things a little different however, I am going to start featuring a new blogger every week, from the previous week's link up!



This week's featured Blogger is, Val from Style to Envy. Val's neon lace blouse immediately caught my eye and I had to know where it came from! Sadly, it is from the Parbal Gurung collection for Target and they're all sold out. I guess that's another thing I'll cross my fingers to find at the thrift store!
