at home



(dress-Shapeshifter c/o Needsupply, scarf-vintage, necklace-H&M, chain belt-Zara)
I've been slowly getting my new apartment in order.  I'm not satisfied with it just yet, but a few minor changes should do the trick. This antique desk was my first and ultimately most beloved purchase for the new space. I think it compliments my striped wall and framed LIFE magazines really well.
Did you notice that even my ice cubes are fancy today? I like to make them feel special by dressing them up with wildflowers and berries. It's made my switch from Diet Coke to water a little less daunting.
