New Living!

Alright, so I am Finally the lovely renter of my very own studio loft apartment in the Rittenhouse Square District of Philadelphia, PA!! phew! I am so excited, everything is quickly falling into place <3 Up until now, I had just been posting things that were catching my eye in the world around me. Now that I am in my new place, starting fresh, you will start to see a lot more in home design projects AND the updates of my new, fun, unique line Feather Airplane! (facebook link below *like it ;)
Feather Airplane has been a couple of years planning and designing that will Hopefully blossom out into the expectations of my 5 year plan!

Sooo, until then... I leave you with this! Our last train ride up to Philadelphia!

And our lovely little view from our new studio <3

Super Spotlight!

I am seriously going crazy over these necklaces! They are super pricey, but I've never seen anything like them <3 If I had the money I would definitely go for the "Power Line" Necklace... or maybe the "Railroad" necklace. Can't decide :/

Blue Bone Vintage

I usually only browse Need Supply Co. for their fun blog and every now and then for some style inspiration, but their Blue Bone Vintage line is driving me crazy! I'm loving almost all of the pieces and they are definitely in my price range! Here are some of the items that I'm not sure I can pass up <3

 Hopefully the next time you see me, I'll be wearing one of these :) 

Coats

Now that Fall is quickly approaching, it, of course, has me thinking about winter :/ 
I love all seasons, but with my need for tropical weather and this being my first Philadelphia winter... I'm preparing for the worst! Here are some styles of coats I've been looking at lately!

  Obviously, I'm looking for longer trench-like coats to keep in my heat! I'm usually interested in more hippy/bohemian styled clothing, but I've been really digging the vintage styles that are out right now. The cuts and patterns can be very complimenting! Here is where you can find these and among other fun apparels--> Ruche.
...and here are more direct links to each coat: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Bohemian Wedding!

So, I am no where near getting married, but it doesn't hurt to plan ahead, right? I am Sooo Inspired by this Bohemian styled wedding!! The colors, the headband, the flowers, the scenery, and most of all the Bus ;) 

 The hanging lights and ornaments are fun, I love her headband, and the picnic idea is very earthy and intimate.

 Drinks in Jars labeled with fabric, and the hanging flower bouquet is suCh a beautiful touch!

and honestly... who wouldn't loVe riding away in a classic VW Bus?? So Fun!

You can check out more from the wedding --> here! There are so many little touches that make this such a cute wedding theme!

Shopping in Philadelphia

My first favorite shop in Philadelphia --> Vagabond Boutique! Some items are a little pricey, but totally worth it for the uniqueness :). 

If you're ever in the area, you should definitely check it out!

 Luckily I was able to score a comfy pair of alpargatas for only 15$.

Gift Wrapping Tips!

So I found these really fun DIY gift wrapping ideas which I thought were so cute! There are different ideas for all sorts of occasions, and on top of the fact that they're pretty; they give gifts that extra special personal touch <3

 

You can check out more ideas--> here! A friend of mine just recently had a Baby Shower so I decided to give it a shot and here's how it turned out...

 
*I went for more of a rustic look by not evening out the ends, but I loved the way it turned out, and it was definitely a hit!

Deliciousness!

Home Made Black Bean Burgers!!

Ingredients:
black beans (1 can, 15oz)
1/2 yellow onion copped
1 egg
olive oil (1 to 2 tablespoons)

bread crumbs (1 cup)
dried oregano (1 teaspoon)
dried basil (1 teaspoon)
cayenne pepper (to taste, depending on how spicy you like things)
cumin (1/4 tablespoon)
salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions:
Mix all of the dried ingredients while the black beans are cooking.
 

Then mash black beans to your desired consistency, i like to leave it a little chunky for texture. add the egg, dried ingredients, and olive oil.

After that, you just mix and shape. place them on a large oiled skillet over medium heat until golden brown on each side.

Once you start making it you'll see how fast and easy it is :) It was my first time making them myself and they turned out fantastic! Since it was my first time experimenting with it, I made little sliders and cut my bread into four pieces for the bun. Added some Annie's Yellow Mustard (my Favorite mustard!) and some broccoli on the side. It was Delicious! Next time, I'll add some avocado to it <3

getting lost...

Today started out as an adventure to an Antique Car Show in Greenville, DE. On the walk there, though, we got so caught up in the amazing weather combined with lovely sights that we never even made it! We came across some beautiful little finds so I thought I'd share them :)

 Old Abandoned Buildings <3

 Crazy Berries!

 The Scenery...

And a Classic Little Boxcar Shot <3

Some words of advice: Always take advantage of the little opportunities to get lost in life! It feels so refreshing to just go out and explore the space around you, plus you never know what you'll find <3

Moving!

With lease signing only a few days away, I have been going crazy for fun inspirations on decorating our new  apartment in Philadelphia! You'll be seeing a lot more handmade projects along the way, but until then I'll leave you with the things that have been making the wheels turn in my head ;)
