Crafting Like Crazy!

So I ended up getting some much-needed inspiration for blog posts this 3-day weekend! I met up with Lauren and Val for to create some Valentine's Day decor. We filled Val's table with tons of pink and red supplies from yarn, ribbons and bows to stencils, paper cutouts, and even paints! Here are some pics of the crafting frenzy last night:

Sorry...we were starving so I didn't get the food pic until after we ate, haha!

this is part of my banner....I will post the end result later this week :)

 I also had a ROOM MAKEOVER!
This weekend I hit up IKEA with the hubster and we ended up being there for almost THREE hours! It seriously only felt like 30-45 minutes! That place is amazing and the prices are truly unbeatable. It also inspired me on future blog posts. Right now Daniel and I have some gigantic plans for our future, which of course takes more than a little moo-la! So this makeover was done for a purpose, not just because I wanted new stuff (okay, I admit that getting new stuff was pretty awesome!). We did this in order to utilize every nook and cranny of the small space that makes up our office. Stay tuned for the finished project as well as Before and After pics this week!

love always,

FALL IS HERE! *throws leaves in the air*

What a great Friday it is! My favorite season of the year is officially HERE today and I cannot be happier! The only 2 things I need now are 1) for the weather to cool down so that it actually feels like fall and 2) for there to be pretty leaves around me to throw in the air! But living in Florida I'm not guaranteed for any of that to take place this year so I just have to make do with dreaming about it for now.  So to keep my dream alive, I will share all that I hope to experience as this fall season unravels :)

1. My all-time favorite thing about autumn are the cute outfits that are also very comfy and cozy! And to be honest, I can't wait to put on my Uggs boots again! They might make my feet look like two giant furballs but it's so worth it because it feels like my toes are surrounded by clouds. I know I'm corny, but you know it's the truth! :) But since I can't get away with keeping the Uggs and sweatsuits on everyday, here are some fabulous alternative outfits that I discovered on one of my fav. online hangout spots Pinterest!

2. I love getting together with friends and family and I'm extra excited this year because I have my own house to decorate with cute little pumpkins, yummy smelling candles and other autumn-inspired decor. Here are some things(also from Pinterest) that have got my imagination and creativity running wild and I can't wait to create my own versions!

Perfect for the Reyes house!

these would look great on my dining table!

Apple cinnamon is my fav. fall scent

If only I had a fireplace...

3. I also love going on hayrides once the weather gets even cooler.
4. Drinking hot chocolate or pumpkin spice lattes!
5. Going running without being sweaty before I even start to run! haha, the joys of living in FL!

There are just sooo many things I love about this season (not to mention that I also will be graduating very soon!) and I can't even begin to list them all!
What are some things you are planning, or would like, to do this Fall??

Park Day!

Weekends always seem to fly by way too fast, especially now that Danny and I are married and have been using those two days to get the majority of the house repairs/spring-cleaning done. Though the to-do list is ever growing, we decided that this Saturday we would put everything aside for a few hours and enjoy the beautiful summer sunshine together like old times. It was sooo worth it! We went to Phillipe Park, where we had our engagement pictures done, and had a great time together. Here are some of the pics:

 

Also, I'm finally posting some of the cute home decor stuff I found on sale at Bed Bath & Beyond! Here are some pics:

Happy Monday everyone! :)

love always,
