Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday.

More ideas how to wrap my gifts this year... Love!

This will be how my first apartment out of college will be decorated. Done deal.

Already looking into fabric to make this possible for New Year's Party this year. {Maybe even Christmas too!}

 ...So True!

What are you loving on Pinterest? I need to start following more of my blogging friends, so let me know where I can find your boards/pins. As for me... see more of what I love here.

Happy Pinning, loves!

Trick or Treat: Decorating Ideas.

I can’t help but wish time would move faster so I could celebrate Halloween! Most people love the costumes but honestly I am all about the decorations. I was at Joann Fabric’s last night picking up a few things for some DIY projects I am doing when I was drawn to the Martha Stewart’s Halloween section. I love love love her ideas. Next thing I know my phone was out and I called my 3 best girlfriends to meet me for a drink downtown. I called a meeting of the minds to start planning a Halloween party that no one will forget…or remember. Haha, so I am thinking classy decorations and food for nonclassy costumes... Sounds perfect!

Anyone have any good Halloween decoration ideas? Anything you HAVE to HAVE at a party? I need ideas, my lovely followers. Let me know what you are doing for the Halloween season.

When 2 Amazing Things Collide...

Don’t you just love it when two of your favorite things collide in order to make you extremely happy? I have been obsessed with the Pinterest website and all it has to offer, but for some reason I JUST thought, ohh I am going to type “hockey” into the search box. I swear I started hearing angels singing while the images loaded. I was in heaven! So thank you to this wonderful website, I have gathered even bigger ideas to make my future house as hockey-friendly as ever.

Sidenote: I am a huge hockey fan. My friends make fun of me because I am already planning on having 5 boys so I can host my own team. {one of their friends will be the goalie because I don’t think I could handle that much stress!} But since those dreams are pretty crazy… One thing I know for sure is hockey will be incorporated into my design and decoration of my future home.

First image is one of my favorites. I know every guy dreams of having a “man cave” but honestly, I want a hockey cave. I need a space to hang my MIAMI HOCKEY paraphernalia and Red Wings collectibles, while amazing seats {with a bar} for watching all the big games. This basement has everything I want! Especially the bubble hockey machine because I am currently on a search for one…  I am thinking about buying an older one so I can redo and revamp the machine.

Love the use of a hockey formation white board or air hockey table to be used above a desk. Don’t know why I never thought of this before.

I have already started making this hockey bench. It will probably take a while to complete since I add a stick to it every few months. {I am wayyy to cheap to buy sticks just for the project’s sake.}

I kind of wish I saw this project before starting the bench. It’s a cutting board made solely out of hockey sticks. Man, people out there are so creative.

Now onto my future *hockey playing* kids… {That sounds creepy, huh?}
I am going to learn how to sew just so I can make this quilt someday. This woman is so talented. But its something you can give your kid and he will keep it forever.

For the summer months: Hockey Slip & Slide

For the winter months: Backyard Rink  

Cannot wait until this hits bookstores {or probably just Amazon} in May of next year. I think the cover pays for the book itself. I have no idea what it is about but I plan on buying myself a copy as well some for my two best friends.

I know football season is basically here and don't get me wrong I am stoked about it... but hockey will forever have my heart and dedication. Thank you Pinterest for putting my obsession kind of over the edge.

Anyone else lives getting affected by Pinterest and its greatness?

Gonna Party Like It's MY Birthday.

In 2 days, I will no longer be in my "golden year" of being 22 years old and to be honest I was panicked about it the past few months. I used to joke when I was younger that I would be "engaged by 22 and married by 24" so I think since this hasn't happened for me yet, I was scared. Well... thanks to my amazing friends and family I realized I should embrace this upcoming birthday and just GO BIG! 


First thing in my planning was to pick a theme. After some thought, I decided that everything should be pink and silver. Now anyone who knows me well enough will say that I am the "queen of black." This is because I am a sucker for black&white color schemes and my usual go-to outfits involve black of some sort. So lately its been fun to be a complete girly-girl and go shopping for anything that's vibrant pink.

Today my apartment table is covered with everything that will hopefully turn my apartment into a place of celebration! Here's a sneak peak at all the goodies:

The drink of the night:
Pink by Yellowglen Sparkling Wine

Like any good college party, more thought has been put into what will be offered to drink rather than to eat but I just couldn't resist having a dessert table. The idea is to have a table lined with pink and silver candies that will hopefully bring out the kid in everyone invited. I am excited to make it happen!


I love little homemade touches, so I decided to make a few signs and accents for the table. My favorite so far is a sign I made saying "have your cake and eat it too" which is going to be a backdrop to the cake and add a whimsical feeling to the table. With some scrapbook paper and a few sharpies its amazing what can come from it. I am also hoping to make smaller signs like "eat me" and "drink me" as well. I LOVE than I am creating a childhood dream party in my twenties and I hope that my friends will enjoy it as much as I will.

Pictures of the decorating process & of course the party to come later!
