Currently Obsessed: Home & iPhone

ballard designs  /  target  /  apple  / kate spade
With all of the home stuff going on, I have found myself constantly on pinterest under the “home decor” section. I think I have looked at throw pillows, rugs and side tables for hours. I can’t wait to decorate our new home! I am also excited about getting our new iphones this week (well trying to at least – depending on how crazy it is on Friday). & I have recently been really eyeing this kate spade handbag. I am pretty sure it will be my next big splurge. I will have to wait a while though, house stuff is number one right now, but a girl can look 🙂 
What are you obsessing over right now? Do you have any good stores I should be looking at for home decor???

    I love that side table! If I could, I’d just move into a Crate&Barrel magazine. All of their stuff is gorgeous. Pretty expensive…but SO fun.

    Right now I am obsessed with the ikat print on a rug! I am seeing them all over people’s blogs and I want one in a black and white print! I don’t have an Ikea where I live but thank goodness for online shopping!

    Ah yeah that is hard.. especially when I would just want all of them and have to remind myself that just getting everything I like won’t always work haha.

    I am pretty excited about a new iPhone as well! Mine has been put through the ringer…cracked screen and just last week it was submerged in my coffee cup (thank you kiddos). But it has lived to see another day 🙂 I love Zara home for home decor stuff, or Kirkland Home, and World Market.

    Digging all those pillows and currently figuring out how many family member’s “birthday presents” to me should be combined to equal 1 iphone 5s….
