{You're My Cuppy-cake}

Have you ever heard of the Cuppycake song? My mom sent it to me several years ago and from time to time we sing it and laugh hysterically. If you haven't heard it before, check it out here {my fave part is at 0:14 - lol}. Anyway, lately I've had a few reasons to make cupcakes and each time {believe it or not I haven't tasted even one, not even a bite - yay me!} I wish I had something to display them on because you know me, it's all about the presentation. So after doing a quick search I found the following DIY cupcake stand {via Apartment Therapy} that I sooo want to make. It's made of vintage plates and glass candlestick holders held together with epoxy. I think it is adorable.

If you aren't into DIY and would rather purchase a stand that someone else handmade, check out these options {via Etsy} below:

{Gray Days...}

Gray? Grey? I'm not sure but for this post, I'm going with gray - cool? This is no secret, my favorite color is gray. I love gray walls, I want a gray couch, there's a gray rug that I'm dying for, I have tons of gray clothes, and about 3 pairs of gray boots....ok, you get it? I love gray. I think it is one of the best neutrals and looks amazing with basically any color you put with it {especially mustard, another favorite of mine}. I think it’s safe to say that gray is here to stay {cheesy yet true} as it can be classic & tailored, traditionally buttoned up, or super chic. Below are few of amazing gray finds via Etsy - come shop with me...

{Lovin Lampshades: Studio Jota}

You know how when you see something that you really want, decide to leave it at the store to see if you still think about it the next day? Well that's what I'm going through, however, it's been several days now. I saw this fantastic lamp while out to lunch last week at NOFO, and I've been thinking about it ever since. The problem - it's $228. I came home that night and scrubbed the web trying to see if I could find it for cheaper. I found several lamps and lovely drum shades {as seen below} but nothing quite as amazing as the one I saw.

{All lampshades are made by Etsy store Studio Jota}

So what to do, what to do... Should I buy it? Write a letter to Santa? Make it one of my Christmas presents to myself? Or leave it and keep hunting? I'm kicking myself for not taking a picture of it so I could show you. Maybe I'll back this week to look at it again...and grab one of my favorite bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado sandwiches. Stay tuned....this book is not closed!

{Wear This...Decorate That}

If you can put together an outfit, you can decorate a room. Promise. Just look around your house, does it reflect your personal style? Does it look similar to the clothes you have in your wardrobe {color scheme, modern or vintage, mix-matched...}? Well back by popular demand, I'm bringing back my "wear this...decorate that" posts...

Wear this fab Anthropologie leather jacket; decorate with that Restoration Hardware leather chaise lounge... {the jacket is going on the Christmas list FOR.SURE}
