Iam obsessed with anything marble (I mean who isn't these days), so I knew that's what I wanted for our coffee table. Sadly marble coffee tables are hundreds of dollars and I wasn't about to spend that kind of money. So I searched on Craigslist for a marble table that we could tear apart. I luckily found this one in Alameda!

Thrifted "Little Black Dress"
You will RARELY find me in tight, fitted clothes like this. I just feel more comfortable in a flowy dress or loose fitting graphic tee. But sometimes you just need a little black dress for a fancier occasion, and I love the idea of finding something with fringe (DUH!). I really don't dress up often, in fact I find ways around it because I don't usually like the stereotypical fancy clothes. Fringe makes me happy, so this dress is totally my jam!

Thrifted Yellow Dress (& Cactus, Duh!)
One of the main reasons I love thrifted clothes is because it makes your style more unique. Take this outfit for example, I'm wearing Forever 21 boots and a Forever 21 sweater, and if this dress was from there too, my whole outfit would be from one store which wouldn't be very interesting. Instead, I mixed this bright thrifted dress from Closet Creep with my "new" Forever 21 items to make my outfit more unique and more me.

Poff Pad Living Room: Mid Century Modern Meets Boho
Our living room is the culmination of our mid century modern style meets antiques meets boho. The biggest thing was to paint the room white, and then we could bring everything in. We started the room with our large Joybird sectional and we worked around that. When figuring out the layout of this room we basically had two options for which wall would be the TV wall. There was an in wall plug for the TV already, on the wall it's now on, so we decided that made the most sense. Plus the way we have our couch allows for an "entry" area into the house where we put a long rug, a mirror and plant hanging on that wall.

Crochet Thrifted Sweater & Abandoned Buildings
We are back from a long weekend away in the Alabama Hills! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have thought I was in Joshua Tree, but I wasn't. I hadn't ever heard of this place until Adam showed it to me, and now I'm obsessed. It's like a less busy Joshua Tree where dogs are allowed everywhere! I'll do a full detailed post from our trip soon, once my film comes back and Adam puts together the video. One of things I love about adventuring is getting to photograph new backdrops and scenery that we don't have in the Bay Area. I'm always attracted to abandoned buildings and falling apart structures, so even though it started to rain on us, we did some photos anyway! :)
