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.

Dwelling

I love Dwell studio bedding.
This is my favorite for about $300
and the exciting thing is that dwell studios designs for Target too. So perhaps for now i’ll have to live with this one for the fraction of the cost.
I’m also loving this pillow

Book Girl

I love Anthropologie’s new cataloge.

This whole room is made out of books.

I think I want to cover a whole wall of book pages next year.

Grad Gift

My best friend Megan just graduated from high school. She’s two years behind me so I’ve already got some college expierence under my belt. So i’m putting together a college survival kit for her.

This is what it includes:

  • tissue

  • lip gloss/chapstick

  • shout wipes, instant stain remover

  • green tea, for late college nights

  • a shot glass, for even later college nights

  • a couple little bottles of alchol.

  • air borne

  • post its

  • 2 a mixed cd, one for dance parties and one to relax to

  • bubble bath

  • band aids

  • quarters for laundry

  • Emergen-C

  • gum

  • stamps

  • pre addressed envelopes to ME.

  • a picture of friends

and it’s all put together in a cool cigar box.

I chose not to choose life

“Choose your future. Choose life… But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin’ else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got heroin?”

I watched Trainspotting for the first time a couple nights ago and I love it. I’ll have to admit that Ewan McGregor was a huge selling point. Cause you can’t beat sex, drugs and Ewan. There are some pretty graphic images so be cautioned but all in all i recommend it.

48

It’s Finals week so I’ve kinda had my hands full dealing with books and kissing alot of frogs. Sorry i haven’t been posting.

It’ll all be over in 48 hours.

A little more Sexy

I found some more pictures of Carrie’s remodeled apartment! Thanks to Casa and The Chicago Tribune

And yet, as much as her new apartment is Beautiful. You still have to give her shabby chic older apartment some respect. here’s some pictures of that too:I love all the magazines in the bookshelf here. A writer definitly lives here, no?
