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.

Save Money and Look Great By Doing It All Yourself

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.
