Apartment decor – What I bought for my apartment

It’s no secret! I’ve moved over 800 hundred miles away from New Jersey to sweet home Alabama for my dream job as a TV news reporter.

I was so nervous about leaving all the familiarity of home to go somewhere new. I had never even been to Alabama. It was so important for me to make my apartment feel like MY home. I tried to make it cozy as possible with all the apartment decor. Coming back here at the end of the day gives me so much comfort.

The move was…eventful. The moving company promised a delivery on Jan. 6….it showed up Jan. 9. As I type this it sounds silly, what’s a few extra days, right!? Well, my Mom and I slept on an air mattress for one too many nights. Mom had to extend her days and change her flight. It was a pain, but I’m lucky she was able to stay longer. Just a hiccup during the move, but it all showed up and we’re thankful for that.

I feel very grateful for this space and apartment, I’ve worked really hard to have something like this and I’m so happy this apartment is now my home. One day, I’ll live in a more neutral toned space, so while I’m living alone and am young, I wanted a FUN space.

I played with color and ran with it. I wanted to go out of my comfort zone and sway away from neutrals with my apartment decor. Of course, my go to accent color is pink, so you’ll see subtle touches of it all throughout. The main statement in this apartment is the couch. BOLD but I love it. There’s no time like now to have fun with a space. I think it has vintagey/retro vibe but more modern.

Everything is linked below! Just click the images. The bar stools are from AtHome, I couldn’t find the exact stools but recommend that store for anything home/apartment decor. I had never been there and yeeesh, it was AMAZING.

One of my favorite outfits for winter weather

Sharing one of my favorite winter outfits on the blog today. If you follow my Instagram, you may have seen it there first.

First of all, this jacket is SUPER affordable. My blogger friend, Taylor Mantz, found this coat at Target and when I got it, it was on sale for $25 dollars. A STEAL. I’m obsessed with it and it’s so versatile.

You can easily replicate this outfit with pieces from your own wardrobe, but everything will be linked below.

The leather pants are from Princess Polly, but I couldn’t link them on LIKEtoKNOW.IT. Here is the link.

Home bedroom renovation

– Renovation of my bedroom in New Jersey –

I WISH I had a picture of my bedroom before, but I’ll try to give you the visual. Bubble gum pink walls, black curtains (which were once zebra, haha) and black comforter, yikes…I know. I said goodbye to the childhood bedroom this summer. We renovated my room over the span of a few weeks.

I have a big girl room now, ha! This is my bedroom in New Jersey, not at Quinnipiac. I have the blog post of my bedroom at Quinnipiac, here. 

The theme for this bedroom was calm neutral colors, so white, beige/tan and then a contrast of black detailing (frames, shelves). I get a little coastal vibe from the room too. We (Mom and I) mixed metals, so you’ll see silver and gold, I feel like this is becoming very common to do, with jewelry too!

My favorite part of the room renovation is the wicker rug, it’s rustic, gives that coastal vibe and really ties the room together. Of course, you can’t see the rug in any of the pictures I took before I left for school, actually you basically are only seeing my bed. Everything from my room is linked so you can shop and see it all.

The little hanging plant is in the corner of my room from Target. My dressers were super outdated yellow looking wood, really unsure what that’s call but my parents bought it when I was born. So, to modernize it, my Mom pained it all white (color of ceiling) and we added new gold nobs. I LOVE how the dresser and side table look now. Paint and changing out nobs can do wonders!!

Questions? Let me know in comments, everything is linked for you! If it’s out of stock, I linked a similar one (like the lamp). I’m really trying to be consistently posting again, the next one is exciting and most likely, a BIG life change…
