Minimalism Madness

Lately I have become mildly obsessed with minimalistic decorating. I think it's a side effect of sharing a room with my daughter. She has her toys, I have my stuff, we're both trying to fit into a master bedroom... Yeah, it isn't pretty. The point here is, I think I'm really liking the minimalism thing. It's so clean and calming, pared down to basics, no frills, no real clutter, a place for everything and everything in its place. I like it. Especially stuff like this,

over at My Scandinavian Retreat. 

I love the feel of the space, the built in bench at the table is a perfect blend of function and aesthetic. I'm definitely also digging this mellow, warm bedroom from Desire to Inspire.

Thoughts? Ideas? Neither of these really show practical storage solutions, which I'll be on the lookout for in the future. Expect lots of posts about wading through the clutter and the organization process to follow. Until next time, ciao darlings!

Boots baby!

Autumn is just around the corner, let's talk footwear, oui? My favorite autumn shoes have to be, hands down, BOOTS! Love 'em! I'm going to show you my (reasonably priced) fall picks, lemme know what you think!

First off, in the category of ankle high boots, we have these lovely little treasures:

So cute right? And aren't you dying at the price? Completely affordable! I'm loving the grey, I really am. They'll go perfect with sweater dresses and nice thick tights. Color me excited!

So now we move on to the next category of boots, knee high. I am absolutely loving these sleek, suede numbers:

Also adorable and perfect and lovely. Not super expensive either, which is awesome for all of us on a budget.

The last and final category is a sort of a favorite of mine, is rainboots! If you think you can't get cute rainboots on the cheap, think again. I love these floral ones: 

Aren't they perfection? So cute. And so cheap! So there you have it, fall footwear that won't break the bank.  What're your go-to pieces for this autumn?
