February Faves

So, I finally moved!

Still trying to get everything together, and figure everything out. Moving is extremely tiring and kind of complicated, but also this really fun and new experience. But glad to finally be mostly settled, and getting used to the area I live in.

I desperately need to blog, so I chose the easiest topic out there. February Favorites.

Not too many favorites this month, been trying to keep it simple lately... 

First up is the perfume I am absolutely obsessed with! It is Nirvana White by Elizabeth and James. The company is actually owned by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, and the perfume comes in a White version as well as Black. The White is more feminine and soft, while the Black version has more of a masculine, spicy, wooden finish. Great packaging and scent meant I just had to buy it!

Then for random unneeded purchase of the month...my rabbit fur pom pom keychain wins hands down. I love this thing for two reasons...it's black and fluffy! Soooo soft and I tend to just sit around petting it when I'm bored :)

A major favorite this month is H&M in general. I've been loving their collections lately, and am so excited they brought on a new New Icons collection this year. The looks are always so effortlessly stylish and just so model-like. So needless to say, I've been in there waaaaay too much. This month I ended up getting a lot of  their jewelry. I love to catch it on sale with additional 50% off, which is how I usually get my rings for about 50 cents or less, and bracelets for only one dollar, but this time I fell in love with a bunch of their full priced jewelry. 

Besides the fabulous H&M, I've sadly been in Starbucks way too much as well. Beginning of February I picked up a pack of their mints and must say they are tiny, but pack a huge punch! Whenever I want to feel as if I'm breathing in the entire world at once, I pop one and enjoy the ride.

Next up is my new baby! I picked this up beginning of February also and it has become a definite go to purse. This is the Michael Kors Selma handbag in black patent leather (not sure if the color has a name of its own). It's a pretty basic bag, but comes in a nice structured shape and just adds a bit of class to any outfit. This and my Alexander Wang I plan to be my bags of 2014.

And since I just moved...home stuff! 

I'm in love with candles. They have to be the single greatest invention in the world. And Marshalls has them for great prices! I picked these two out because of the mature and classic packaging as well as their warm and cozy scents. Great for the end of winter.

Mason Jars. Need I say more? They're simply amazing, from holding mini candles to making tea. 

Complete love.

Lastly want to include some favorite music. Of course my number one fave is 2NE1 and their new album Crush. It really shows a more mature 2NE1, including more ballads and really moving vocals. My fave songs would have to be Gotta Be You as the best up beat song and then Come Back Home, Good To You, and Baby I Miss You as the best ballad and softer titles. But they're seriously all great and worth the money.

Another album I really like is Sun Mi's Full Moon and Stellar's song Marionette. 

Well that's it for February, and on to collecting stuff for March. Hoping that perhaps one of my March favorites will be a furry friend?

♥My Room♥

Well hello there :D

If you saw my last post, you know that I am absolutely obsessed with spring and am so ready...but alas on the crummy East Coast it is like 30 degrees or less outside! So today I was forced to wear black and warm boots to work when I want to be decked in lace!

***Weather is my worse enemy***

But anyway, on to my random post of the day. 

This one is a bit different, as it concerns my room. I hesitate to call it a room tour though since it's just one corner of my room...but also happens to be the only corner/wall that actually has stuff going on ; D

So here's what it looks like:

So here's the semi blurry overview. And it is actually neat and clean(ish) *shock*

Hidden in there is a secret though :) There is almost no actual furniture in my room! I moved here while I was still in college, and so didn't need any furniture since I was never home, and then I moved to California. Although I have obviously moved back, I still want to travel more and so don't want to be bogged down by silly furniture. So what is holding everything up?

You can probably see the trays on the left holding up the vase of flowers and pink boxes, but as for the white  "piece"...

 
Boxes!!! Specifically from peopod where my mom orders groceries lol. I like them a lot since I can use them as storage AND stack them as makeshift furniture :D

 

I also have white bins that I stacked to make it more even, plus more storage! Then I just took some white sheet thingie (I don't even know what it is xD) and covered it to make it look halfway decent. 

Final product:

Stable (ish) desk space! All I did was add a chair and decorations:

My makeup/vanity area with makeup and brushes

Hope this inspires some ideas on making make shift furniture...

or inspired you to buy actual furniture :D

Also, I've been having computer issues lately...so I hope I can still update as much as I can. I've gotten the "blue screen of death" with those cryptic white words literally 4 times now...and every time I turn on my poor  laptop I fear it will be the last. Kind of dramatic, but this laptop has been with me through so many crappy times and also one of the greatest of my life...Japan! Plus it has all of my purikura (photo booth photos) on it as well as cutesy Rilakkuma stickers!!! How could I part with such a machine?

If it does die though, I wonder if I should get a new laptop or go for the galaxy note II (which I've been drooling over for months now). Decisions decisions. 

But Anyways, 

Love Always,
