SUMMER IN THE CITY

In just a few hours, I'm boarding a plane heading straight for NYC.  (Newark, actually, but let's not get picky.)  That's right kids: this girl's going to New York for the summer.  Why? Because I've got myself an internship.  Come Monday, I'll be getting coffee and making copies and whatever else they make me do at my super sweet PR internship.

And of course, I'll let y'all in on the action.  Prepare yourself for lots of posts on cool NYC stuff, clothes to wear to work, and what a PR internship in the city actually is like. (Though don't get too excited - considering I'm a poor college student/intern, all of this will be more like Girls than Sex and the City). Anyway, so excited for what the summer will bring, and let me know if anyone has any tips or suggestions for New York City!!

MAKE AN ENTRANCE

I saw these pictures on my Instagram earlier yesterday and had to immediately get on the Glitter Guide on my laptop to take a closer look. Caitlin Moran shows us three different ways to style a small and simple entryway, and I honestly don't think I can pick a favorite. I love the coral-colored x-benches (from Target originally, now unfortunately unavailable), the green lamp, the sunburst mirror, the skull and antlers, and the sheepskin. Such a great mix of colors and texture to get such different looks! Inspired by her styling, check out some of my choices to help you recreate the looks at home!

GETTING KRAFTY

Some fabulous little party ideas using the oh-so-humble brown kraft paper (or it's other form - the brown paper bag). Throw a waffle bar (or a taco bar, or an ice cream, or any kind of bar, really), whip up some cute take-home party favors, create a simple menu, or draw out your dream place settings.  It's simple and easy - perfect for outdoor summer entertaining!
