five photo friday: loft studio/office.

It's not a true five photo friday, there's seven pictures, but it's worth it. My studio/office loft is finally complete! So I figured I would share some pictures of it. It's not Pinterest perfect—it's "lived in," there are still some things I need to find permanent homes for.

And yes, those are alcohol and cigarette packaging in those prints, but the reason I like them is the gold foil letterpress.

Room details:

Chair: IKEA

Desk: IKEA

Plant stand: Target

Beanbag chair: Amazon

Wall corner shelf: Target

Tapestry: Society6

I moved the majority of my plants upstairs so they could get more natural light from the dormer windows in the loft. You'll also notice the cat tree & bed—our new cat Hannah likes to hang out in the loft with me while I'm up there.

twenty seven.

This is what I wore for my birthday in May—I worked from home that day (I work from home every Wednesday now, which is awesome), and then my husband and I went to dinner and then to see Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2—it was great.

Photos by my husband.

What I'm wearing:

Dress: Target

Jacket: Old Navy

Shoes: DSW

Necklaces: Forever 21, Target

Pins: Lil Bub Store, These are Things

This dress isn't my usual style, but for some reason I was drawn to it when I saw it, and I really like the style & fit. It also makes me look taller, which is always good.

80s vibes.

I've been wearing this 80s era dress a lot lately—it looks like I put more effort in that I did (most people think it's a top & a skirt), and the sleeves and skirt length are perfect.

Photos by my husband.

What I'm wearing:

Dress: vintage

Belt: vintage

Flats: Target

Pin: gifted

Earrings: made by me

Bracelet: H&M

I decided to fully lean into the 80s vibe of this dress, and added the belt (also vintage), the pin (also also vintage), and jewelry that matched the dress colors. I like how it turned out. I'll just be over here listening to Depeche Mode & Blondie.

plaid & ribbons.

These photos are obviously a bit old, since I'm wearing a jacket & tights.

What I'm wearing:

Jacket: BlankNYC via Nordstrom

Dress: thrifted

Tights: Target

Boots: DSW

Necklace: thrifted

I really like this outfit and will definitely be wearing it a lot again in the fall—especially these boots, I love the ribbon laces.

back from accidental hiatus!

I definitely did not mean to take a three month hiatus...the past three months have been crazy busy. May is always busy for me, but the first week I was in Chicago for a design conference (I highly recommend HOW Design Live for any creatives, designers, or marketers), then the following week I was back at work (and turned 27!), then the week after we went on vacation to Saint Maarten, and then it was crunch time for preparing for my work's first big conference.

Amidst all that, my husband started a new job & schedule, we had our housewarming party, and got a second cat! Since I'm a crazy cat lady, I started an Instagram account for the cats... They're not quite friends yet, but I have my fingers crossed that I'll be able to get them in the same picture soon.

So, I have a bit of an outfit photo backlog, and now that life is calming down, I want to get back to blogging regularly.

What I'm wearing:

Shirt: Old Navy

Jeans: Old Navy

Shoes: Rifle Paper Co for Keds

Necklace: Madewell via Poshmark

Purse: ModCloth

I've been wearing the heck out of this top, these jeans, and these shoes this spring/summer. They have some of the Rifle for Keds back in stock, finally. I will happily buy allllll the Rifle Paper Co. things. 

So, how's everyone been?
