Puppy Love...

Hi lovelies! I just want to share some exciting, {well past due} news with you all!

I got a PUPPY!!!

She the sweetest, cutest, most mischievous little pup ever! I've had her for one month exactly and it's been the craziest, most exciting, happiest month so far this year!

Her name is Mia Kovi Optimus Harry Potter Prime, officially speaking, but for short most refer to her as Mia. The madness behind the unnecessarily long name lol well it's a simple explanation really. I originally named her Kovi, after my favorite NJ Devils player, Kovalchuk, but my mom hated it and insisted I change her name because she's too cute to have a name like Kovi. Hence the name Mia. It's cute, but not my first choice. Her middle names are easy to explain as well. I am in love with obsessed with Optimus Prime & Harry Potter; they're my two most favorite people in the world. I always said I'd name my children after them {like seriously, I will}, but since I can't wait that long, I'll permit Mia the awesomeness of having such BAMF middle names lol haha

 I can't believe I've lived my whole life without her. She's a shorkie, half-yorkie/half-shit zu. I love being a mommy to the most precious little bayboo ever! There's soo many fun things I can't wait to do with her once she's older[she's only 3 months old.. Her birthday is February 22nd] I can't wait to buy her cute little puppy presents for her 1st Birthday!! (I know, I'm getting a little a head of my self)

I've broken some rules that my vet wouldn't be too happy to hear about lol but I work 40 hrs during the week so I try to bring her everywhere I go on the weekends. I love coming home to her sweet little face and playing with her. And I melt when she falls asleep on me. She's the best puppy ever, like seriously though

Friday Favorites...

Well thank god this semester is over!! I didn't do as well as I would have liked to, but life goes on, and now I can get back into the blogging swing of things lol

This week's Friday Favorites is inspired by what I in vision my future apartment/home to look like. I'm working crazily to save up some money and move out. on my own. for real. I say it like that because when I was 18, I moved out and dormed 20 or so minutes away from my house and I loved every minute of being on my own... I think that was my problem though lol I loved it a little too much. Hence the reason why I'm no longer attending said college, am now in community college and living home once again lol It's definitely a learning experience. So I've been getting really anxious to just move out already and figured posting about what I'd want my future space to look like might help a bit.

Enjoy....

Bathroom inspiration.

Grey and Yellow are my absolute favorite color combinations! They're soo clean and modern when put together. I don't know, maybe it's just me but I love how a bright, cheerful color mixed with a rather dull, and gloomy color can make for such an impressive combination. 

Chevron Chair.

Okay, so if you couldn't tell by now, Chevron is legit my favorite pattern since...Ever! I honestly can't tell you what it is about this pattern that I love so much, but I do know that if I could, I would decorate my entire home in this pattern alone. I just can't get enough of it... it's kind of a problem lol but I'll take two of these, please!

Blue Velvet Sofa.

Can there be anything more perfect than this sofa right here!? I didn't think so. I've never been the biggest fan of velvet, but this sofa, I just can't! I would love to come home from work and just lounge on this beauty all night. This is definitely on my list of things I need!

Tufted Headboard.

I've wanted one every since I can remember. They're soo luxurious and princess-y lol I just love that it's soft and comfy so you can watch a movie or read a book in your bed and just be all comfy and what have you. Love. Love. Love!

Grey & Red.

Grey & White.

I love both of these style living rooms for soo many reasons. First off, they're gorgeous! 

I love the drama and coziness of the Grey & Red with that pretty, round 

white table in the center. The grey walls matched with the grey chairs is perfection; and I just love the accent of red with all that grey!

The Grey & White room is soo simple, yet intriguing. I find the sort of monochromatic color scheme to be one of my favorite aspects of this room. I just love the way all the elements flow and come together to make one cohesive and stylish looking room. 

I would love for my future living room to look like either one of these, or even better... a combo of the two.

Yellow & Grey Bedroom.

Trade the brown accent wall for a lovely shade of grey and I'm sold on this room. It looks soo relaxing and comfortable. I would have no qualms sleeping 8 or more hours in this pretty space. I love the accent tables{chairs?} at the end of the bed as well, it gives the room that little extra something.

Okay, I'm done dreaming up my imaginary home for now lol I hope I didn't bore you all too much. I'm just feeling the stresses of life this week real bad and I'm trying to shake them and move on.. I hope with time and more blogging these yucky feelings will just melt away so I can be back to my happy, cheery self.

Have a fabulous Friday all!
