What 2016 Taught Me

Hi friends! Welcome back to my blog and to my last blog post of 2016! I cannot believe we are days away from the new year. While this year has flew by, it also feels like parts were so long ago. Overall, I'd say 2016 was a pretty successful year for me. I certainly went through some things that made me a better person and I am looking forward to what next year has to offer me! Keep on reading to hear about my biggest learnings of 2016.

Affordable Home Decor | Autumn 2016

There's nothing quite like fall in the North East. It's easily my favorite season and I swear it comes and goes so quick-- which is why I love to make it feel like fall in my apartment. Like most young twenty-somethings living in and around NYC, I don't have funds to be redecorating every single season, but luckily some of my favorite home stores have such cute decor for amazing prices this year!

Easy DIY 2016 Desk Calendar (& Free Printable!)

Hello, hello! Right before I left work for a nice little Christmas/New Years break, I realized I needed a new desk calendar. I know it's crazy that that's what I'm thinking about, but I look at that thing like it's my job and know I would be inconvenienced if I came back without a 2016 (HOW?!) calendar to reference.

I knew I wanted something cute but also practical so I decided to take it upon myself to come up with a DIY and I'm super happy with it!

Pantone Color of the Year 2016 | Rose Quartz + Serenity

It's official! Yesterday, Pantone announced the color of the year, with a twist! Yep, this year we get 2 colors, Rose Quartz and Serenity.

The colors look beautiful together, like a beautiful, soft sunset. I'm super excited to start seeing clothing, decor and makeup products begin to follow these colors trends. In the meantime, here are some of my current favorite pieces you can buy or you may already have laying around to celebrate the color(s) of the year.
