Trend Watch:Turbans

So totally inspired by Sex and The City 2 movie, turbans have taken off as the next fashion trend!! I found a great website that offers a fabulous little spin on the classic turban, its not so full fledged over the head turban, it is more like a turban headband!! Now, I don't know if I can pull this cute new trend off, considering my monstrous voluminous hair, but still I am going to attempt it, because I just think it is so darn adorable and affordable at only $32, gotta love that!
The website goldsaturn.com is where I found these chic turbans!

World Market Finds

So now that I am moving home, I am of course obsessed with how I am going to decorate my next future apartment(though I will be living me mom and dad for a bit haha), but after that there will no longer be a studio apartment like the one I am in now and I am so excited to decorate the whole thing myself.

As I was stalking other blogs I ran across some super cute trays from Cost Plus World Market, but OMG they have some very very cute things!!! I had no idea. I thought cost plus was all wicker furniture and weird foods, but NO they have some fabulous things. Here are my favorites!!!

BIG Life Decisions

I have officially decided to skip out on grad school, and move back to Arizona!! I am so excited about this decision, I know that it may seem rushed, but I have thought about this long and hard and I know that this is the right thing to do. I am going to move home and take interior design and photography classes. I can finally be challenged and do anything that I want without the limitations of a University!! I will continue to work at Nordstrom, but more than anything I am so excited to finally have my family with me. I haven't lived back in AZ for over 5 years, so this will definitely be different. I am so close to my family and I think it will be a great change to be able to have dinner with them and talk face to face!!
My mom and I have always have had the dream of opening our own company together, whether it was a boutique or event planning we knew we wanted to do something, but we have decided to eventually start an interior design/lifestyling agency!!! We are both very savvy business women and can sell ourselves very well haha. But this life long dream is just another reason why this decision feels so right. I know that our business will not start right away it is going to take a long time and lots of motivation, but it is all very exciting to think about!!!

Flea Market

So I have come to the conclusion that I am having an early twenties life crisis, I don't know if I am truly doing what I want to do. Don't get me wrong I love fashion and I adore my job, but I also love love love decorating and imagining rooms in my head and coming up with new ideas. I feel more passionate about interiors than I do clothing. So who knows where life will lead me, but I should probably figure this out pretty soon!!

On a kinda different note, Holly, Marli, and I went to the Alemeda Flea and Antique Market today and it was absolutely amazing. There were over 800 vendors!!We were surrounded by beautiful things and we all wanted to buy everything! I walked away with two decently sized frames, for my future frame wall, and a new headboard that the three of us are going to reupholster. Marli got a super cute cigar table(I think that's what she was calling it haha). Marli and her boyfriend Mike flip furniture and sell it, so she was looking for some super cute and super cheap things to restore. Needless to say it was a perfect Sunday morning with great friends, sunshine, and shopping!!!

Here are the frames and headboard I bought,as well as things that I loved while walking around

Memorial Day

It was such a beautiful weekend here is San Francisco, for Memorial day. It was nice to have the sun shining and a few days off to relax and catch up on all that is needed. On Sunday my friends and I had a little picnic at Chrissy Field,which is located right under the Golden Gate Bridge. The weather was perfect the beach was beautiful and then to top it off we had the background of the bridge in the sunset, and it was absolute perfection. I mean what more could a girl ask for;beer, hamburgers,sun, and friends. It was a great night, and so appreciative to have wonderful people to spend it with.
