S'MORE BAR. MOJITO BAR. COCOA BAR. Overkill? Nah.

Happy Monday Prettyfaces.

Hope you enjoyed your weekends!

Here's what's up lately:

1. Thanks for all who had great comments on the article I posted Thursday. It was awesome to hear everyone's opinions!

2. Thank goodness for Gap pants in every color of the rainbow. And thank goodness I have a ridiculous amount of chambray to pair with said pants. 

3. Saturday night we celebrated our friend Josh's birthday, complete with a pretty decorated table and a Nutella + Reeses cake. Yeah. You read that right. It was amaaaazing. Best cake I've ever made, I think!

4. Sunday was the awesome #FallFestWI at Dani's house. Bloggers + their men came over for a night of yard games, food, drinks, and flannel! Since Dani and I couldn't help ourselves...there was a Hot Cocoa Bar, a Mojito Bar, and a S'more Bar. 

We were super lucky that some AMAZING businesses sponsored the event with awesome gifts for all the girls! HUGEEE thank you to bareMinerals, Pen & Paint, Loollipop, Splendid, Louisa Marion Photography, & Lashionistas for supporting local bloggers! And of course, and amazing thanks to Dani and her husband for allowing all of us into their gorgeous home!

i won't go on an on about it in this post, because i think plagiarizing is pretty lame, so i'll let you just follow the link and enjoy!

i will say that this was the most eyeopening part for me:

"Out of my 11 close friends who have gotten married in the past three years, 10 of them attended meetings with their wedding coordinators,to ensure their wedding day would be flawless. Only one of those friends attended pre-marriage counseling."

so, go read this awesome article. stat. 

After you read it, come back and let me know what you think!

MAN, YOU'VE GOT STYLE.

We've actually started decorating our apartment.

 2 months in. 

We're doin' it, folks. Being adults and covering up the blank walls.

When we first moved in I had a collection of apartment pictures that I thought would fit in our place...but I've revamped that with what we really want, now that we've lived in our space for a bit!

Here's what's on our radar:

1. This recent lighting fixture from ABM is amazing. I love the look of the bare lightbulbs-- and while we might not go totally literal here with bulbs, there will definitely be some type of glass or chandelier in our lofted ceilings!

2. Light, bright bedroom with minimal art & simple monograms. Need I say more?

3. I am in LOVE with this green wood stain. I mean, so much more chic than just painting a dresser with solid paint. Our dresser needs a major makeover, and I'll be using this as inspiration for sure.

4. I have the most awesome 365 day calendar printed on my instagram photos from Social Print Studios, and while it won't be an entire wall of wallpaper photos, I think 365 will make a pretty good impact!

5. My gallery wall in our last place wasn't too much of a success, so this time around mismatching frames more is my goal. 

What's something you really love about your space?
