Desk Decor

My new work environment is much more upbeat. And now that my desk isn't drowning in a sea of papers I thought it'd be the perfect chance to make it an organized, peaceful space. If I'm going to be spending 9+ hours a day there it might as well be filled with things I love.

To the internet machine!

A couple of these have already found a home in my cube but I'm taking the slow and steady approach to sprucing up my space.

Get This: 1. Pinwheel Push Pins from Anthropologie 2. Framed Corkboard from Urban Outfitters 

3. Banderole Pencil Set from Anthropologie 4. Fashion Flap Journal from Urban Outfitters 

5. Marbled Dot Votive from Anthropologie

How do you decorate your workspace?

Autumn Wishes

• The Downtown Field Jacket • Coconuts Britain Riding Boot • Penfield Stokes Checked Flannel Shirt  • Coincidence & Chance Foxy Geek Sweater • Long Wraparound Scarf • Ecote Festical Ankle Boot • Sweater with Elbow Patches • Owl Moccasin • Double Pocket Top •

Despite the fact that the weather seems to be having regular mood swings and I can't figure out if I should be wearing tank tops or sweaters I've been working on my fall wish list.

I keep trying to impose "anti-shopping" periods on my life but let's be real, those never work out as planned. There are just so many sweaters, military jackets, and boots calling my name right now. 

Sooo as a compromise (with myself) I'm trying to be good and solely buy from sales and consignment and use my wish list merely as a guideline. 

We'll see how this goes...in the meantime, enjoy these pretties that have stolen my heart.

Friday Pick Me Up

Today I have the Friday morning blues (weird, I know) and can't seem to shake it so I thought I'd put together some of my current favorite little things to nip my bad attitude in the bud. It's also an attempt to work on my resolution to be more positive instead of sulking - two birds with one stone! Boom.

Have a happy weekend friends!

• Olive Yew Gold Initial Necklace • Warmer Days Ahead • Giant, Chunky Scarves because I'm always cold •
• Friends who send you pictures of baby animals to cheer you up • Skater Dresses (even though I'm on a shopping detox) •
• Wise Words • Chevron Wallpaper I want on one wall in my living room •

This year I tried to organize and be early with my Christmas shopping. I started December 1st and have been hitting the mall and online shopping ever since.

In typical "I have undiagnosed OCD" fashion I tried to organize with two lists this year: per person & per my favorite things and then matched the two up.

My lists generally cover lots of people from 'For Her', 'For Him', 'Kids', to 'Coworkers' (and sometimes mayyy be inspired by things that I would love to have). So I thought I'd share some of my lists this year to help mid-December shoppers!

Today I have my list of favorite gifts "For Her" that I love to give to family and friends. The bonus is that all these cuties are under $100 because this girl's on a budget frands!
