eye candy.

Since my last post had some less than beautiful pictures of my new closet, I figured I'd leave you this weekend on a good note. Here is some eye candy!

Happy fall! Happy Friday!

new closet troubles.

I am having such a difficult time transitioning {closet-wise} from living on my own to moving back home. My closet at my old apartment was huuuge and now I have a closet this size:

(eeww look at those ugly plastic hangers - need to get on that!)

I've been working on organizing the best I can, but still there is just not enough space. I've had to take things that would normally be in my closet {sweaters, scarves, this little white dresser I have, allll of my shoes} and find creative ways to organize them. I've put my sweaters and scarves in the little dresser and the dresser out in my room. My shoes don't all fit in my closet the way I'd like them to, so I've kept ones I don't wear that often in their boxes out of the way. I also have a large plastic container used for more shoes I don't wear that often that didn't have boxes:

Some of my white ikea kassett boxes are on the shelf above my clothes. The whole closet is pretty poorly-planned - with a single bar way up high and a single shelf, the builders definitely didn't utilize the space effectively. I want my dad to build in another shorter bar somewhere for jeans, skirts, etc. Can you see why I've been posting a lot about gorgeous closets?! I'm envious!

This coat has made it to the top of my wishlist. I just love the bold color, fitted shape, and brass buttons. Just need to start saving...

new show: {Project Accessory}

image via Lifetime.

I have been an avid Project Runway fan since {almost} the beginning. Now that Lifetime is coming out with their new show Project Accessory, I am super excited to see how this one will go. I'm particularly interested since I make jewelry myself - and a lot of the designers for season 1 seem to be jewelry designers. Could be something I'd be interested in auditioning for...but we'll see how the first {few} seasons go. Is anyone else looking forward to this? Tune in this Thursday after the finale of Project Runway!

...and another closet

Okay this one is awesome too. Look at all of those Louis! I also love the idea of having a island-type table in the center of a closet for more storage. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Love this simple closet design - although there definitely is not enough space for all of my clothes. Or shoes. Hopefully they have another section not shown in the picture...?

In the mood to paint...

..but I don't have any time! I hate when this happens. So many things I need/want to paint:

-paintings for my etsy shop:

-this dresser:
(excuse the mess on it...life has been pretty hectic.)

by the way, this is how I want to paint it:

silly, but you get the idea - HOT PINK and gold. My new fave color combo!

...and last but not least......

-my new bedroom!!

(not even going to show a picture here...but just imagine dark, navy blue and banana yellow. yes. do not know what my sister was thinking!)

I'm hoping next week will be a good painting week - I have a couple of days off (finally). Cannot wait to show you guys the dresser fully finished. I'm super excited.

PS - happy friday!

something beautiful.

In your ocean, I'm ankle deep
I feel the waves crashin' on my feet
It's like I know where I need to be
But I can't figure out, yeah I can't figure out

Just how much air I will need to breathe
When your tide rushes over me
There's only one way to figure out
Will ya let me drown, will ya let me drown

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, Oh, Oh something beautiful

And the water is risin' quick
And for years I was scared of it
We can't be sure when it will subside
So I won't leave your side, no I can't leave your side

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, Oh, Oh Something Beautiful
Oh, Oh, Oh Something Beautiful

In a daydream, I couldn't live like this
I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful
When I wake up, and all i want i have
You know it's still not what i need something beautiful

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, Oh, Oh something beautiful
Oh, Oh, Oh

-Needtobreathe

God is so good. His promises are new every morning. He will bring us something beautiful from the ashes.

happy friday!

Isn't this just the cutest, well-lit, city-overlooking, white nook you've ever seen? I can so imagine myself there - drinking my coffee out of a vintage china cup, curled up in one of those white chairs reading Pride and Prejudice or something.

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!

fall weather is coming!

We have experienced a littttle dip in the insanely hot Charleston weather recently, and I am loving it. It is putting me in the mood for fall, red cups at Starbucks, shopping, and of course getting to wear fall clothes!

Here are some things I'm dreaming of wearing...
