I have been meaning to post for days, which sadly, has turned into weeks. In the past few months, I have successfully moved into my townhouse, went on my first program for work -- two weeks in Jamaica, which was a lot more work than one would think. I also just spent the last week catching some rays at Lake Vermilion in Northern Minnesota on vacation. Now that I'm home for a period of time, I can't wait to start putting together every room in my house. As I start gathering some inspiration for posts this week, my boyfriend and I are discussing ways to decorate our place...and when I say we...I mean me. C is currently cheering on Prince Fielder in the Home Run Derby. This is what we call teamwork.

My goal is to find a vintage serving cart for the dining room area, a white corner bookshelf for the half bath, and rugs for the dining room & living room. While I continue to search for the perfect pieces, here are a few ideas from Etsy that I can't wait to incorporate into my place!

Since last summer I've invested in two jumpsuits. I can't wait to wear mine, especially lately with our finicky Iowa weather (I wish Mother Nature would realize that it's officially summer as of last week). Just toss a cute belt and some wedges and you are set for the night. Here are a few of my favorites from Shop Bop.
