Fashion Friday: OOTDs and House "Fashion"

Happy Friday!!!  Is anyone else out there looking forward to the weekend as much as I am??  My inlaws will be in town and I really excited for the chance to sleep in on Sunday.  I actually managed to snap outfit pics for y'all every day this week, although today's outfit is not really worthy of a picture :)

J Crew Matchstick Jean in Vintage Kelly (currently on sale for $49.99), J Crew Factory Intarsia Charley Bow Sweater (sold out), Kendra Scott Tavi Studs in Green, Banana Republic Black Velvet Ballet Flats (old, but these are similar and on sale!)

Lilly Pulitzer Lana Top in Navy (old, but I've seen some on Ebay), J Crew Signature Leggings in Black, Burberry Rain Boots (old, but similar here)

Lilly Pulitzer Somerset Dress in Punch Pink (old, but hopefully they will make it again because it is so flattering and comfortable!), Forever 21 Ankle Length Leggings in Navy, Steve Madden Leopard Flats (old, but these are cute), J Crew Tortoise Shell Necklace (old)

Ok, now on to a new topic... fashion for the home!!  I'm trying to take a little break from clothes shopping at the moment to focus on some things we are doing around the house.  Now a home decorator I am not, but I do my best to make our home look nice.  My current project is fixing up our foyer.  There's nothing wrong with it at the moment, but I'd like it to be a bit more elegant and inviting.  Most of the pieces in there are cheap things that I bought while in college or things that we inherited (so they're nice just not necessarily our style).

I'm currently planning: a new rug, a new light fixture, a new entry table, and a little paint makeover for the current mirror.  I've already ordered this light fixture from Pottery Barn, but it won't be here until March!!

I'm about to buy this rug in tan from Ballard Designs.  It's one of their indoor/outdoor rugs and I currently have a different one in our dining room and love it.  It does not look like an outdoor rug and it is so easy to clean, which is a must with small children.

I have a table in my mind that I just can't find, so I think I'm going to be able to talk Brian into building it for me.  I can't wait to have everything and show y'all the before and after!!

Big Boy Room

Believe it or not, Natalie is still sleeping in our bedroom! Our house is a three story townhouse with one bedroom on the first floor and two on the third floor. So, we thought it was best for Phillip to stay upstairs in his nursery for a while and just keep Natalie with us. But, she's nearing the six month mark, when Phillip started pulling up and sitting well. That means its about time for her to move out of the bassinet and into the crib. Phillip is still in the crib at this point, although he uses it as a toddler daybed. Side note, it's too funny but Phillip will still stay in his bed and call me to come get him even though he can obviously just get in and out!

So, in January we will be moving Phillip downstairs to his own "big boy room." I'm sure I won't have it all finalized when he moves in, but I've been thinking a lot about how I want it to look. I will definitely have a few fun "kiddish" accents, but overall I want it to be a room that can grow with him until highschool if possible.  So, I'm thinking that most of the furniture and fabrics will be very classic and I'll throw in some fun accessories.

Here are a few of my inspiration rooms/items:

I want the room to have a few fun doggy accents and I think this pillow would be adorable layered with the PB Grand bedding and a big check euro sham.

I love the idea of a gallery wall of fun dog prints like these here.  Some could be silhouettes and others could be more classic looking and antique prints.
 

These are too cute and (according to Pinterest!) very easy to DIY.

I love this PB Grand bedding with the red piping, but I may try to find a cheaper alternative.

Love these check shams!
 

Love the check shams here, but I would do those on the euros and then have the red/white embroidered pillows in front of that.

We will be using a vintage twin bed, but I plan to paint it a dark blue similar to this.
