Hey everyone. If you have noticed I haven't posted in a few days, I must apologize. My site was down again due to server issues. The internet kills me sometimes. BUT...I'm back with some very exciting news. The latest issue of Adore Home Magazine has come out and they featured my adorable Austin abode. So exciting! I love the new issue, especially the emphasis on bar cart styling. I keep my bar on my entryway console (see the photo above.)

I looooooooove my apartment in Austin so much. It's such a mix of my personality. Here are a few peek shots from the magazine. All photos shot by the talented Austin photog Erin Williamson of Design Crisis. She did such a good job capturing the magic of the space.

Here is the cover of the issue. Read it here now. Its too good to miss!

With fall fast approaching, I wanted a little something different for my bedroom. It's pretty with lilac and gold but I wanted something more rich, more modern for the colder months. Of course black was so necessary. So, when Target approached me with a bedroom makeover I knew I had to take part! With under $150 in my pocket to use, I created a modern black and gold vibe to my previously romantic room. Now I am in love!

{here is what the room looked like before}

Here's what I felt that the room needed.

1- I changed out my white lampshades for these black lampshades. It made the vintage crystal lamp look so much richer.

2- I swapped out my antique french mirror for these fab gold sea urchins , they are a bit more modern in feel.

3- Nate Berkus has really been killing it with his Target collections. I felt that this Geometric gold vase would edge up the femininity of my room a bit.

4- Absolutely obsessed with the black and white Nate Berkus pillow look, I had to have them. They are a tad small for my liking but add a little warmth & style.

5- I have a thing for wings and feathers, so of course adding this gold angel wing dish for my jewels at night.
