Little peaks around my room.

My room is so cozy right now. I can't wait to do some crafting and Netflix watching tonight.

Nights alone are very rare, so I'm taking advantage of this one.

Christmas is over, I'm aware. The tree is too cute to put away, though!

My little craft area is sooo messy! But this is the cleanest its been in a very long time.

The books I've been meaning to read.. oops.

So that's all I have for tonight.

I'm just staying in, and hanging out at home. Maybe going to the gym with my momma later. If I feel up to it. I've been a sleepy girl lately!

Tomorrow is Record Store Day! So boyfriend and I are going to pick out some records, as well as go back to Funtiques and get the soundtrack to the original version of The Omen we found on vinyl yesterday! (Yesterday, I said I didn't need it... but this morning I changed my mind)

Later we're meeting up with his parents to go to an Elton John concert! We're pretty darn excited. :)

Oh, and look at this tattoo!

This is my friend Sarah. She chose to get matryoshka doll because her adopted sister is from Russia. Dasha (her sister) got one too! It's so stinking adorable in person. I absolutely love it.

(and obviously, it's not finished yet. She goes back in 2 or so weeks. I'm so excited to see it finished!)

Love you!

Dreams.

I have so many dreams that I want to accomplish in the (near-ish) future. So many.

Lately, these dreams of mine are all I can think about. My future is all I can think about.

I really, really need to stop looking at photos of New York.

And it really suuuper doesn't help that one of my favorite movies is Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn makes being poor in New York City look absolutely fantastic.

I have also recently become obsessed with decorating my imaginary apartment. I looked all through Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters last night, and again this afternoon as soon as I got out of class. I am sure that my grandma is tired of me yelling at her every now and then, "oh my gosh, look at these curtains!" or "holy crap, look at this lamp!"

I've never understood Colby's obsession with home decor... and now I do. It is absolutely addicting.

I am demanding that I have a living room like this one someday.

But really.

Is it too much to ask for a cute boy who plays cute music, with our cute little puppy in our cute apartment, and a little cupcake shop of my own, and just a passion for life?

I think not.

(p.s. I forgot to the do the blog challenges today... so I'll catch up tomorrow.)

bedroom tour:)

Since I couldn't really participate in Janel's home tour last week, I decided to just do a little tour of my room. I'm not kidding when I say little:

told you it was little! the first image is a view from my little craft area, and the second is a view from my door. TINY. it feels like i live in a walk in closet!

this is my little craft space! the room originally was intended as my mom's scrapbook room, so my dad put in shelves and a countertop. a year after she'd been using the room, i decided i wanted it as my bedroom, so like any good mother, she moved all of her supplies to a tiny corner of her bedroom and let me move into her studio space. <3>

ahh, my bed.i love my bed. and yes, it is parked right in front of a door. a few years ago, back in my rebel years, i decided that it was a good idea to sneak a guy in through my door. ...not a good idea. so, not only is the door blocked by my bed, it is also nailed shut. not fun, but it makes for a good story, yes? :)

this is the top of my dresser... that doesn't hold clothes. I keep all of my old journals, papers, craft stuff in here. and since i use my dresser for that... all of my crap is shoved into a tinyy closet.

this is my favorite, favorite corner of my room. those little tables are ones that my great grandma had for as long as i can remember. when she died, they were given to my aunt, who put them in her basement. so finally, i took them home with me. i love them so so much :)

so that is my bedroom! and now...

yay! i've never done one of these before, and i found it to be a lot of fun, surprisingly. this is my *knock off* orla kiely bag that i got in new york city this past summer. i'm in love with it :)

1. sunglasses case. 2. phone case. 3. book of friend's senior pictures. 4. wallet (12 bucks at target!). 5. keys. 6. pens/pencils. 7. "dark teal metallic" nail polish from f21. 8. Band of Horses tickets for October (!!!). 9. monthly planner that i made. 10. "The Wild Things" by Dave Eggers.

There ya have it! For such a large purse, I really don't carry much in it.

UGH..and...

3 of my 5 books that i need :( seriously... $216 worth of books right here... YUCK. and i still need two more :(

BUT, i guess i shouldn't feel so bad.. colby texted me yesterday when he bought his books, he spent $460 bucks on 3 books. ughh, college, you suck!

but class starts tomorrow, and i'm outrageously excited for some reason. :)

love you guys!
