DIY inspiration and my new fav site

So once again being the poor college student I am, I can afford my new Seven jeans and True Religion Perfume, but I can't afford to eat out or buy expensive food. Its give and take. I do eat really healthy, but I've been stocking up on my canned veggies (organic of course) so instead of throwing the cans away, I knew I could use them for something.
And I totally just figured it out, thanks to See Jane Work website.
Easy, Easy, Easy DIY: Paper-covered Pencil/paintbrush holder/makeup stuff holder (I'm currently using an old starbucks cup to hold my eyeliners)

While these retail for $10, I figure I can spend 50cents (get some food) and make a completely adorable can for $1.00 (for the paper)

It sounds totally weird, but I HATE throwing away magazines. I love referencing them for everything. And if I don't cut them to pieces for my inspiration book, I just stack them up. So I totally need some of these! $8 at See Jane Work.


I'm always drawing a blank on what words to use, with these ultra chic dictionaries from Webster, I think my diction would be much more, colorful. To say the least.
$180

This mail sorter would make organizing the mail between 4 people so much easier, rather than making a pile on the coffee table!
$16


Ok, so I'm completely infatuated with See Jane Work's website. I could post every item from the site on this blog, but I'll spare you and just have you check it out for yourself. When I'm finally settled in a place for more than 4 months at a time, I'm definitely investing in some of these products!

Back to Reality

Now that me and the boyfriend are home, it's time to get back to reality. I'm currently waiting for some school news/ searching for a job just in case. And paying off the last of my bills from the apartment and a lingering credit card debit from this most recent surprise trip home. But other than a little stress, I think we're both ready for new adventures.

I'm also ready for my own place so I can decorate...finally!
I could easily finish reading my book, "Shopaholic ties the Knot," on that couch.

If I didn't have my gorgeous, loving boyfriend...I think my living room mayyyyy look like this! How fun!

OHHH! and don't forget to visit my mother's NEW Etsy shop! It's rather small right now, as she's still starting up, but she would love everyone's support and feedback! You can also request custom designs and items! She even does the CUTEST shabby chic dog beds!


(and yes...that stuffed animal of a dog is our doggie Daisy)
