Yellow Couch, Yes Please

Because of my new job, I will be staying in Columbus permanently. This means I will be moving into my first "real" apartment in August, so I will be doing a few home decor posts here and there as I gather up inspiration for the new place and turn it into a reality. Very exciting! I've been pinning ideas for about a year now, just waiting for the day to arrive when I would have my own place. A recent review of my home decor pinboard made me realize a trend is emerging. A very YELLOW trend, particularly in the form of couches.

I'm really looking forward to making my new place my own, and it sure does look like a yellow couch may be calling my new apartment home as well. Any suggestions where to find an affordable, comfortable one? 

Banana

What I'm wearing: Gap tee (2007), Banana Republic outlet sweater, Old Navy skinny jeans, Liberty of London for Target rainboots, Forever 21 belt, New York & Co. outlet bracelet,

My internet has been on the fritz the past few days. Every few minutes, it will cut out, and I have to close my laptop and reopen it to get it working again. This makes using my computer rather annoying, so I've been looking elsewhere for entertainment. My unfortunate internet situation combined with dreary weather has made the perfect conditions for cozying up with a good book. Yesterday, I started The Hunger Games, and I just couldn't put it down! I already finished it, less than 24 hours later. So good! In other news, my roommate told me I looked like a banana today. What can I say, I have a recent obsession with all things yellow!

Spring and Summer Inspiration

Confession: bad blogger here. The past few days I've been so focused on the end of the quarter that I haven't taken time to document my outfits (although they were actually picture-worthy! aka not sweats). So instead I thought I'd show you my finished spring inspiration board and some of the colorful dresses I've got my eye on!

1. Sunny Day dress
2. Stitched Polka Dot dress
3. Geometric Bow Waist dress

Ever since I found out about my internship, I've had a running list of "needs" and "wants" for my summer wardrobe. After re-reading some of my posts from last summer, I remember how important dresses and skirts were for beating the ridiculous heat in NYC. All of these dresses would be great additions to my summer wardrobe. The best part? All three are under $30!
