Everyday Eclectic

My gal pal, Kaitlin, was coming to town so it was time for a deep clean on our apartment. And when it's clean, we take a photo because it seems like a rare treat! This photo highlights my favorite room in our home - the living room. I am not someone who uses brown in my home (the wall paint color came with the apartment - I probably would have done two tons of grey). I love our mix of patterns, colors and textures. It's truly eclectic in here - a little bit of everything...just the way I like it. Looks like Zella approves, too.

Shake It Like a Dog Shaker?

So, it's true. I'm slightly obsessed with wiener dogs and wiener dog items...but, don't actually own one of these pups. Thank goodness boyfriend like these beauts too so they are the newest addition to our kitchen! They even have gold noses - I could pass out from the cuteness! Go get your own set at Target for $7.99!
Total steal. 

Apartment to "Home"

When my boyfriend and I moved in together, we slowly realized we needed to make our apartment a home for both of us. We sold couches, coffee tables, etc. and searched for the perfect pieces that we'd both love. This blue chair is our favorite find (from Marshalls). We found the couch at Ashley Furniture (someone HAD to have a chaise lounge...) and we love it (but...so do our pets). This coffee table is what I'm most thrilled about. We bought it off Craigslist for $20. It was originally black metal but in true Kacey fashion, I spray painted it gold (with help of handy boyfriend). To tie it all together, we agreed on this rug from Rugs USA (and at a great 60% off price, too!).

With our living room coming together, I feel like Chicago is truly "home" now:)

Rock Your Favorite Vintage Tee: Look Two

There is nothing like a glam maxi skirt to dress up a vintage tee. I love this royal blue maxi, especially with the gold accents. It feels very...rich. I tried to keep the accessories and shoes a little more edgy with this look to keep it dressier. These gold gladiators are everything. They are comfortable yet look so funky and dressy all at the same time. I need this outfit on my body...asap. 

New Year, New Loafs

My favorite purchase while I was back home in Indiana was these precious calf hair loafers. Can Vero Cuoio make some cute shoes or what? Love the material, love the tassels and love the gold detailing. While it's not pictured, these loafers also have a tiny heel. As a 5'2'' gal, every bit helps.

Layer Love

Gold. Layering. Chains. Snakes. Rhinestones. I...am...in...heaven.
Soul sister, Jamie, does it again this week with a wonderfully fabulous gold necklace duo. These layered necklaces, both from Bauble Bar, are perfect together...adds dimension but it's overpowering. I'm loving the gold against the hot pink. Work it, girl. 

(Cat) Mother Must

I'm not a "crazy cat lady" (if you don't agree, bite your tongue) but I do love my fury feline. So, naturally when I saw her name as a ring, I got a little giddy. Every (cat) mother needs one. Find it on www.urbanoutfitters.com.
