Dans Le Cou

I absolutely love the styling in this editorial.
Button downs and well worn pretty jewelries equal my kinda perfect outfit.

Living Pretty

I thought once I was done with this semester I was going to have time to start decorating my apartment but unfortunately & fortunately the firm I work at got super busy so I'm working full time this week and probably next week.
Here are some of my favorite living room images that's been sitting in my 'Living Room Inspiration Folder.'

Peace, Love, and Respect

(People's Liberation Leather Jacket studded by me, gifted Pink Loose Knit Sweater from Storets, Hollister Denim Shorts, Urban Outfitters Black Mesh Knee Highs, Underground Buckle Boots)

My boyfriend and I saw the John Butler Trio play live and let me just say, they were amazing live. I know I use the word amazing pretty often, but these guys were truly amazing.
John Butler can seriously sing and plays all kinds guitars (he played about 6 different guitars and a banjo)
For those who don't know the John Butler Trio(it's ok, if I didn't date my boyfriend I wouldn't have known who they were either), below is one of my favorite songs of theirs.
They sound exactly the same live. actually even better live.

Thank you everyone for the nice feedback on my bench from the previous post.
For those who have asked, yes I made the entire thing from cutting the wood, to sanding it by hand(no power tools) and putting it together. The only thing I needed help with was putting the back and arms together to the seat which my professor John helped me with and Wesley Mason *sort of* helped me with staining the bench.
Hope you all have a fun weekend. I am off to go see a John Butler Trio concert w/ the love of my life once I finish my final essay for an Art History class.

The Bench I've been working on Forever!

Probably not the most flattering pictures of me due to the lack of sleep + spending too much time in the warehouse but I wanted to share with you guys the bench I made this semester.
I just finished putting the bench together today which is why my wedges are covered in sawdust and although you can't tell in this picture but the hardest part was doing the 115 degree angle on the back of the bench. Making that angle and gluing it together was a pain in the butt. Not to mention sanding this entire bench by hand was also a pain but I did it! hehe

I still have to put one more coat on the bench but I had to hurry up and go to my professor's warehouse to get it photographed. The photographer wouldn't let anyone wear shoes because it was going to make the screen dirty but I begged the photographer to let me wear my matching zara clogs. :)

btw, Thanks for still stopping by and emailing me despite the lack of updates.
I've been very behind in getting back to you guys via email but will write back very soon.

WOOHOO only one more final left and I'm done for the semester!
