I've had a little bit of a dry spell with my blogging habits lately; between work picking up, making time for new friends and "me" time, I've barely had any time to sit down and blog! I'll also admit that I'm my own worst enemy. I started getting really discouraged with blogging that I totally lost sight that I started Always Dress Prepfectly solely as a creative outlet. I'm still adjusting to my new life in Austin (even six months later!) and whenever I start stressing out, I find myself reading my favorite blogs and admiring different blogger's styles and creativity. After writing and deleting posts, I decided to finally bite the bullet and crank out a post!
So what's been new with me?
Lately, I've been on a huge home improvement kick! Specifically, the bar scene in my apartment. After coming across The EveryGirl (seriously check this site out, it's awesome!) article Three Ways to Style a Bar without a Bar Cart I had some serious inspiration (the kind that merited it's own Pinterest board, check it out here!).
At first I was just browsing but then I came across West Elm's "Party in a Box" and I was in love. I was able to snag one of the last one's in the store for $40! (Originally $150, what a steal!) It came with six votive holders, six champagne glasses, a shaker, a lacquered tray and not to mention the cute decorations (confetti included!!)!
...so began my bar accessorizing kick as well as my impulse purchases! Some of them include:
This cute Target decanter (only $9!)
Party Straws
(I bought mine from Etsy but I copied the EveryGirl and bought navy striped/gold chevron straws. I love how they look together!)
Design Darling's "Drink More Gin" print
(This will look great over my West Elm Tray Table, plus it was turquoise!)
I have a couple more additions on my wish list but C.Wonder's Golden Highball Glass Set is definitely at the top.
(Love love love!)
xo 'til next time!
