New Room Decor

I finally got around to changing my room decor!! I am SO SO happy. I finally put on my new comforter, and today with my mom I bought all those pillows which I fell in love with. I especially love the big white furry ones, they caught my eye immediately. Everything in my "new" room is going to be kind of simple and white, with accents of gold, grey, and eclectic looking things. For Christmas my parents said they would buy all of the ikea furniture I was wanting, so I am so thrilled and thankful. I can't wait to get it and have everything in my room come together. I also got a cute white christmas tree and adorable teal buddha head too. I think the white fairy lights just add that feeling of coziness and warmness to the room :) Oh! How could I forget the new shaggy white rug haha! Its SOOO soft and fuzzy, but it looks really nice and fresh. 

How do you guys like it so far? I'll get better pictures of my whole room once I have my new furniture assembled and looking the way I want it to.

SO EXCITED. And there's only 4 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS. WHAT.

How I Style: Stripes

I. love. stripes. If you opened my closet you would see a massive spot just filled with stripes. I don't know when I started to like this pattern, but I know I haven't always been fond of it. I used to be obsessed with polka-dots, which now I can't even understand because I really don't find them attractive on me anymore....anyway! I particularly love stripes because they are so versatile. You can wear them with pretty much anything, any color, any kind of jewelry, and that makes me a very happy girl haha!

Now I just realized most of the pictures I picked for style inspiration are black and white, which is totally me. I didn't mean to do that on purpose but that explains my style! Most of the time, I wear stripes with denim, light or dark wash. I especially love to wear denim cutoffs, then tucking in a bit of a striped shirt with some simple jewelry. Love! I also really love the look of making stripes casual, just by throwing a cardigan over a top or putting on some cute white sneakers. You can create so many different looks with just one shirt.

I want to make this a regular feature on the blog a "How I style" then a certain piece of clothing or accessory :) Give me some requests down below! 

um...when did it become the first day of november?! time is flying bye wayyy too fast if you ask me.

The Moodboard Tag

This mood board is kind of all over the place, but I've been obsessing over black and white...and lately I've been really loving my body and myself, which i guess is a good thing haha! I've just enjoyed looking at myself in my mirror and admiring the body I was blessed with. Sounds a little cheesy but after reading a lot about people who don't have body parts or get sick and can't do something, it really makes me love what I have. This past week I've had so much energy and I've loved sweating and exercising, because it just releases stress and makes me feel amazing. So that's what I wanted to show in this board. Odd I know but that's just me haha! ;)

Thanks for tagging me Victoria! I tag Katie, Ashley, and Rachel :)

White Space

There is just something so intriguing to me about white space. Simple colors, simple lines. Even though the setting is incredibly monotone, it gives the viewer freedom to imagine something greater. Using white as a main color allows for someone to do absolutely anything with the room. 

For me, I love to stick with black and white. It's so classy, and it's always in style. Adding pops of bright colors like cobalt blue or soft pastels make for a totally different vibe. This is the kind of color scheme I will want in my own home or apartment when I move out, and it's funny that I'm obsessed with it now because a couple years ago I absolutely hated it. Isn't it weird how we can change so much in such little time?

I'm intrigued to know if any of you like this sort of style. Or do you prefer more vibrant main colors and softer accents? Let me know your thoughts!
