Coffee Table Inspiration

My roommate and I have been needing a new coffee table since, well, forever. What we have now works, but I don't think it's necessarily something either of us are dying to continue with. You can imagine my delight when one of my favorite websites, The Everygirl, had a feature on styling coffee tables. I am more than inspired, and am determined to use their suggestions and put ideas into reality! I'll be out of town this weekend, but next week I am going to start on this DIY project. The tables are only $7.99 from IKEA, which is great. I love the use of color in the top photos - how great is the leather couch with brightly colored and patterned pillows? I already have several coffee table books, and with a couple purchases on Amazon, Etsy, and Anthropologie, I am certain we can have the coffee table of our dreams for under $50... at least that's my goal. I'll keep you updated on the progress with lots of pics to come!!!

Luck of the Irish

In case you've been living under a rock, Saturday is St. Patrick's Day! For the past four years, I have spent St. Patrick's Day on Spring Break. Last year it was in Key West with some of my favorite Thetas and Delts boys; the year before in Frat Lauderdale, dancing my heart out at America's backyard with my best friends, celebrating our little Catherine's 21st birthday right. 


This year, I'm a little unsure of plans, but Patrick will be in town and Courtney and I are trying to plan something fun! It won't be Spring Break or the beach, but I'm sure Atlanta will still impress, especially since it's supposed to be in the 70s. Since I won't be galavanting around in a swimsuit, I need some sort of outfit plan that incorporates green. I picked up this white sweater tank from Old Navy that I kind of love. I don't have the green pants yet, but I would definitely wear those for a statement of green, paired with a pink belt, Jack Rogers sandals, and some simple Kate Spade jewelry. If only I had enough money to go buy an entirely new outfit, right?

Pops of Pink

I don't know what it is - maybe the rising temperatures and signs of spring and summer - but I have absolutely been loving the color pink! It is such a fun color that can't help make me feel happy and a lot little girly! These are some things I've been eyeing that have the perfect pop of pink. Next pay check that doesn't go completely towards rent, I'm buying the C.Wonder clutch and J.Crew top. Can't wait!
