it's monday, but I want to free-flow to the weekend already

Good news: I have a short work week this week! My weekend officially begins on Thursday. Thanks, free company-wide holidays!

Even better news: I may have found my future apartment! Boyfriend and I are going to continue searching this weekend for more, but I have a good feeling about the one I found this past Saturday. If it proves to be "the one," then I'll be moving out next month. Woooohoooo!

Additionally awesome news: I finally got my Rebecca Minkoff MAC clutch from the sample sale! It is absolutely wonderful and the perfect red bag that I've been hunting for. Thanks to Jinah from Bonjour It's Jinah for perking my interest in Rebecca Minkoff!

Now that moving out is in the foreseeable future, I am getting pretty excited about the idea of furnishing and decorating my own place! Since I'll probably be living at this apartment for a few years, I'm looking to really make it a home and not just, you know, the dorm room-style squatting that I had become so accustomed to before graduating, haha!

Winning the CSN $50 gift certificate from Tres Tippy's giveaway could not have come at a better time! There are tons of things on there that would look awesome in my new place. Thanks, Tippy!

For now, I'm scouting out awesome things to pretty up the bathroom. Once I actually move in (or get closer to moving in), I'll start looking for things for the living room, kitchen, and bedroom too! Eeeeeek! If any of you have apartment living/decorating/furnishing tips, please indulge me!

On another note, I wonder if Shane West and Shia LaBeouf know that they starred in the exact same movie:

  2. Love the free-flow and those sandals are awesome! I never got to the RM sample sale b/c my friend couldn't make it and I didn't want to go alone!

  5. ooh, pretty bag! Congratulations on the new apartment! I've been apartment hunting like crazy (I'm still living with my parents since I moved back after college), but I don't really know what I want so I can't find what I'm looking for. One of these days!

  6. OOOh, I love the RM clutch! I just used my tangerine one as a clutch this weekend and felt so posh. Don't ask why, I don't know!!

    I need to bring my free flow tank back out. You make me miss it.

    Good luck on the apt.search and if you know one is "the one", it usually is! Decorating it will be the best and your gift card IS perfect timing!

  7. Congrats on the almost yours apartments, I know how exciting that is. I'll be experiencing that all over again when I go apartment hunting later this summer.
    I have a boatload of websites and resources (I even made a spreadsheet when I was trying to figure out furnishings). Perhaps, I'll send you a list very soon. Are you looking for furnishing tips/ideas or resources to buy stuff for your place? I suggest checking out apartmenttherapy.com, younghouselove.com, and the Domino book for ideas to start).
    Congrats on the new MAC, it is a beautiful shade of red. I sat this online sample sale out, but am expecting a new RM in the mail very soon.

  9. I love the pairing of the edgy moto jacket with the feminine freeflow tank! And AHHH!! I love RM's MAC bags. I couldn't be bothered with trying to purchase anything from the sale on my phone so I sat this one out. I'm glad you snagged something!
