To The Bar!

As many of you know.... I am a proud new home-owner!!

And with that entails a lot of decorating... I have ~~put fashion on hold and~~ become slightly obsessed with interior decorating. As I was walking down Magazine Street the other day after lunch I came across an awesome house-ware store, Hazelnut. Come to find that the owner is the one and only Bryan Batt from Mad Men {if you haven't seen that show yet-- I don't know what's stopping you}

Right now I am obsessing over a bar cart to place in my kitchen. I don't want to make it a bar cart, but more for shelving purposes; you know for cook books and such things. Hazelnut has a green bar cart and unfortunately it isn't on their website, but it is on my list of things that I want to purchase for my home ♥

Here are my top 5 bar carts:

Just In

As I was walking around Magazine Street this weekend enjoying a delicious iced coffee from PJs, I stopped at a clothing store that I had never been to before.

Being the on-a-budget-shopper, I was a good girl, resisted temptation and only looked at the items that were on sale.

And that's when I came across this bad boy:

Yeah, yeah so it's not the real deal.... and please save the "how dare you buy a replica?". But being serious most of us "working girls" (in this economy) can't afford to buy a ring that costs $250.00!! Well let me take that back-- if we save up real hard and not eat for a couple of weeks... it can become a possibility.

But back to the story. I flipped out, tried it on, gave myself a pep talk...

Seriously when will you actually buy the real thing? Remember you are moving and want to remodel your new apartment PLUS want to go on an awesome vacation this summer?

So I caved in. I bought it. Shame or no shame, the ring cost $25.00

Helping me look fashionable this birthday weekend without breaking the bank :)
