Hang on tight! This post is going to be a little (okay, a lot) different than anything that I've posted before. Along with my passion for fashion (that rhymed), I also love home decor. Painting, crafting, decorating...I love it all and hopefully some of you do too. 

I have been on the lookout for a reasonably priced bar cart for quite some time now. As with most items, it wasn't something that I was so into I was willing to spend a good amount for so I was patient with it. One day, I came across 'History in High Heels' blog and THIS genius Ikea hack tutorial. Of course, I ran to Ikea ASAP and picked up my own for under 30 bucks. Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the whole process but it's really straight forward. Purchase it (it's silver), put it together (SUPER simple), spray paint (if wanted), and style. My sister and I spent about 4 hour total putting it together and painting it, including time to allow it to dry prior to a second coat (thanks sissy!). I used a variety of different items to style it. Dishes, straws, books, bowls, and a sweet chalkboard sign that currently reads "cheers". Needless to say, I love it. It's the perfect size for the corner I was looking to put it in and adds the simple spark I was looking for.





Give me some feedback on the home decor posts, don't be shy!

I know all I keep talking about is fall...but a girl can't help it. Fall fashion is my absolute favorite! I combined a few of my favorite fall fashion trends into this one outfit (and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't overly excited about it). Scarf, oversize cardigan, and a hat. I just recently picked up this hat from Target and I'm a big fan. It's the perfect size and adds the perfect 'fall touch.' I threw on a plain white tee with this mustard, over-sized sweater, and a tribal printed scarf. Added some jeans and these shoes to finish it off. These shoes, you won't even believe. I just got them from JCPenny's (like two days ago) for $8.50! They are perfect: sassy but so practical. And for 8 bucks, you really can't get any better. 






See you next week.
