Valentine's Day Bar Cart & Heart Scewer DIY

As I've discussed before, I love being able to decorate my apartment as feminine as I want (like my gallery wall here). This bachelorette pad thing is something I try to take total advantage of because I know I won't be able to do it forever. This year, I'm feeling especially excited for Valentine's Day, and it shows! Over the weekend I added some fun, easy, lovey-dovey updates to my bar cart:

I made the little heart shaped straw toppers / drink skewers simply by cutting hearts out of construction paper and then gluing a toothpick in between 2 hearts. I think they are adorable! My XOXO pillow from Chapters Indigo (on major sale!) is also looking great with this theme! And I can't forget about my adorable 'Cherry on Top' cards by Ashley Brooke Designs. I had this one on my inspiration board and one day I opened it and found a hidden little love note from M. inside! He's so sweet.

Do you decorate for Valentine's Day?

Happy Valentine's Day

Hugs and Kisses to all of my wonderful blogging friends out there. Metaphorical kisses of course, it's flu season you crazy love birds.
Today's  Valentine's Day inspired house is an oldie but a goodie, and I couldn't resist sharing it in case some of you hadn't seen it before!

 I mean, it's definitely over the top, but I'm a little bit (a lot) in love with that dining room.
Maybe it will be my Valentine since the boy is miles away? Who am I kidding...the room is even further! Also, don't worry..this is a show house, so no one actually lives in it year round.
Wishing you all a day of happiness, love and smooches (real ones).

Styling with Flowers

I always say that a room isn't complete until there is a vase of fresh flowers. Here are some of my absolute fave floral picks:
1) Peonies

 Today, Art History is my Valentine....romantic right?! I've got two back-to-back art history midterms.

In a perfect world, I'd have some adorable pink heart framed glasses to wear while I write them. Well, actually...in a perfect world I probably wouldn't have to back-to-back art history midterms but what can ya do! Here's a little peak at what I'm wearing to keep the holiday spirit alive:

Jeans & Watch: American Eagle, Clutch: Coach, Top: Dynamite, Shoes: Alfred Sung for Zellers

Sorry about the bad picture quality, I'm in a bit of a hurry!

 My realllll Valentine's Day date is in a couple of days, when I fly to Nova Scotia to visit the bf! I haven't seen him since he left after Christmas, so I'm pretty excited! It's also our one year anniversary on the 19th!

Me and my guy on my birthday in June! I cannot wait to see this man again!

 I've got a couple of really awesome guest bloggers lined up for while I'm away, doing some travel inspired posts that I know you will enjoy! Okay now I've really gotta go study! Wish me luck!

How are YOU spending Valentine's Day? I'd love to hear!

Love is in the Air..

or, at the very least, Valentine's Day is! That's right, the lovey-dovey holiday is right around the corner. This year I'll be spending it alone, courtesy of long distance lovin', but I'm not going to let it ruin my spirit! I've put together a little round up of a few pink, girly, and romantic items that have caught my eye lately. If you're spending this holiday solo, don't despair! Instead, celebrate how much you LOVE YOURSELF by treating yourself to one or two of these items. If you're lucky enough to be sharing the day with a partner, feel free to 'accidentally' leave this up on your computer screen for them to see. Maybe they'll get the hint?
