Living for Pretty

Celebrating all things pretty, happy and inspiring. From renovation stories, to recipes, decorating, parties and little life lessons, you’ll find a little bit of everything here.

Guilty Pleasure Of the Moment

My new guilty pleasure is The City on MTV with Whitney. It’s kinda of a spin off of The Hills. Basically Whitney gets a PR job with Dian von Furstenberg (DVF) and moves to New York. Since I”m currently a PR/Journalism major and LOVE DVF my favorite parts are when Whitney is on the job. Her cute love interest aint bad to look at either.

Fairy Tale Dress

I finally found a picture of the original dress that my high school prom dress was inspired by. This is it:

Isn’t it Beautiful?? it’s by Oscar de la Renta.I had one of the costume makers of my ballet company make me a dress since they she was familiar with tulle, silk, and boning it worked out. The total cost of mine $150 for an original one of a kind, fit like a glove dream dress. Much better than the polyester crap they sell at suburban malls and much more doable than the couple thousand the original cost.

The Big Picture

Chris Jordan makes art that makes you think. “Depicts one hundred million toothpicks, equal to the number of trees cut in the U.S. yearly to make the paper for junk mail”

And there are so many more.

Tiny new home

First off: I apologize for my long absence. With good weather comes outdoor activities and it’s nice not being anchored to a computer. Not to mention having a job, a slow internet connection and moving into my new apartment.
And on that note. my new apartment is cute, but a lot smaller, we’re adding one more roommate and the floor plan is different and more open but that means losing wall space. I’ve found some inspiration and i hope i can make it look good on a college budget.
we have a big deck and i definitely want to make it an extended living area. this would be cool:

More for later as the apartment progresses.
