Buy of the Week!

Viscose Dolman Sleeve T $32.00

I just purchased my new favorite T from American Apparel. It has a cute boat neck and 3/4 length sleeves.  The best part is that it's ultra light weight and the sleeves have a slight bat wing shape. It comes in white, black, and midnight blue. I bought it in midnight but will be going back for the others! Wear it with any bottom or tucked into a skirt!

Over the weekend I was in sunny California for the 2009 Coachella Valley Music Festival. It's a 3 day music festival held in the desert of Indio, CA.

loft life

These pictures are long overdue. My new loft finally feels like home. Just to refresh your memory here are the before pictures:

Here are the after pictures!

I love how everything came together! I was able to fit all of the furniture from my old apartment. I was thrilled with how great each piece worked in the space.

 I purposely divided the floor into 4 areas. A living room, dining, sleeping, and office area. I gave myself a $300.00 budget and spent it on wall paint and a few home accents. I only ended up spending $235.00! This leaves me a little extra money for my next project.....the bathroom. Stay tuned!
