Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Dress Form Display Piece
I’m officially a college graduate and am joining the masses of recent grads sobbing audibly as they scroll through their Facebook photos from the past 4 years moving to a new city and a new life.

But just because we want to save some money doesn't mean we have to look like dingy hags with 12 cats and a knitting room.
Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Vinyl Record Bookend
The other day, while aimlessly roaming through the overpriced yet drool-worthy home goods at Urban Outfitters, I came across some adorable vinyl record bookends. They looked so cute hugging a stack of blogs-turned-books on the table and I just needed to have them.
