Cozy Monday

Monday. It comes around so fast. Our weekend was so relaxing. Dan started his new semester of law school today, so we wanted to keep this weekend low key. We went to Brigantessa for dinner Friday nitght, so not on my diet but so worth it. One of our favorite bartenders/friends started working there a couple months back. They have best pizza I have ever had in my life. If you're ever in Philly it's a must. We finally took down our Christmas decorations and straightened up our apartment from the holiday hustle and bustle. It's starting to look like a home again. A new apartment update will be coming soon, we've added so much stuff. It's starting to feel more and more like home. 

It's cold, rainy, and dreary here in Philadelphia. So I've compiled all the places I would rather be than at work. I would be napping at them all if I could. Happy Monday!

Friday Favorites

halloween garland / 'pajamas, all day.' tee / emoji embroidery pattern / sweatshirt jean jacket / dreamer print / pillow cover

Happy Friday! Some how this Friday favorites turned into a Halloween themed one. Really I noticed everything was black and white, so I decided to play it up since I'm super ready for fall.

How adorable is this Halloween garland?! I want it to hang on our mantle. I love garlands of any kind especially if they're holiday themed.

Lately I've only been buying comfy lounge clothes. Probably because that's all I want to wear. This pajamas, all day. tee is perfection.

Last year for Christmas I embroidered a set of kitchen towel for my mom and grandma. It was tedious but fun at the same time. I'm obsessing over this emoji embroidery pattern. I see Christmas presents for my besties already ;)

With the theme of my comfy clothes comes this sweatshirt jean jacket. Perfect for a fall Saturday. I always shoot right back to middle school whenever I shop at American Eagle, but I still always end up finding something I like for my current style there.

I love this dreamer print. There is something about motivational art that gets me. I think it's great to have them around to remind you how lucky you are everyday. 

I love this graphic pillow. I'm so over chevron, but I like how this one brakes it up to be a mix between chevron and herringbone. Still deciding on color for our living room, but a neutral is always a safe bed.

I hope everyone has a fabulous holiday weekend!

Current Obsession: Hammocks

 

There is something so whimsical and relaxing about hammocks. If our apartment was big enough we would totally have one. It can be a great decorative accent making a space feel bigger and getting more seating in without the visual mass of a chair. A couple of my favs are below from Anthropologie.

  buy here.

They can also be used to organize your cats :) 

 

Happy Wednesday! We're halfway through the week, I think that calls for happy hour tonight!

Current Obsession: Black & White

There is something so classic about black and white spaces, a perfect balance of modern and bold.
