Closet makeover!

Since I'm now engaged, I've had to think about what it will be like to have a permanent roommate.  

I've lived alone for years now!  I can be pretty bossy, especially when it comes to my home, so it'll be an adjustment for both of us.  Hey, at least I know my faults!

When I get married, I plan on having Tae move into my place.  Right now though, there is no space for him!  I am a secret pack rat!  

I consider myself to be very clean, but I never claimed to be hyper-organized.

Soooo basically I will show you what my 2 closets look like now, and some of my organization products I plan to use in my closet makeover. 

Oh, and my bedroom closet contains maybe 50% of my clothes.  I have a dresser with 6 huge drawers for the rest, and it's jam packed!  Poor Tae doesn't know what he's getting himself into!!

I'm having my wire shelves taken down and will have double-hanging with wood shelves.  I am so excited it is going to be GREAT.  This is all going down on Tuesday, so stay tuned!

Here is what my bedroom closet looks like right now (you can enlarge all of these photos):

MESSY!

Andddd this is my entry closet/coat closet: 

Products to help with organization:

Acrylic shoe boxes from the Container Store.  I didn't order enough..
5 of them are larger for BIG heels.  I plan on keeping just my nice shoes in these boxes.

Closer view, love these!  

I bought 200 new hangers.  My mom recommended these, they are thinner than ordinary hangers and save space.  Also, they are a velvety material and clothes stay put... I don't know if anyone else has the issue of clothes sliding off plastic hangers??

New, thinner velvet hanger on right!  Compared to ordinary plastic hanger.

Please excuse my fingernails, they all just broke off due to the cold/dry weather!

If you're interested in these hangers, you can get them from Target or here on Amazon

Can't wait to see it finished!

LOTD winter makeup/ blog award

News:  I have been engaged for one week now!  7 days, and he didn't change his mind and run for the hills... yet.  

Still can't get over how beautiful the ring is, and he picked it out on his own!  I am a spoiled, spoiled girl.

Rinny gave me my first ever blog award, thanks girlfrennnnn!  Hard to believe I'm not getting nominations all the time, right? Ha!  

I will now pass this award to 15 other bloggers.  I have a few ladies in mind who may or may not still be blogging, but I will tag them anyway.  Also, I will try to give the award to people who don't already have it... but honestly I have no clue.  :P

Minh (Arrow Law Group) (he makes bankruptcy sound sexy)
Jessalyn  (she is funny and she is also engaged!)
Kendall (her nonsense on Fbook and her blog makes me laugh)
Mindy/Minky!
Stephanie (She probably has 20 of these awards, but it only counts if it's from ME)
Susanna! 
GJee!
Kimberly ! (girl needs to update!)
Caroline !
CocoBella !
Elizabeth !
The Little Dust Princess !
Makeup Morsels !
Jennifer (also engaged!)

ENGAGED!

Hellooooooo.  Some time has elapsed since I have last updated.

Here's my update:  I'm engaged!


***Taken with my iPhone, I'll take better pics later :)

Pictures of my fiance, Tae :)

I think I've got one of the only asians over 6 feet tall!  Haaa, my giant asian!

So... what's new with you?

P.S. Rinny- thank you for the "One Lovely Blog" award!  I look forward to determine the 15 bloggirls to pass it along!

Cute things for my home!

When I was in WPB I swung by Anthropologie and picked up a few things I LOVE.

FYI, these pictures are taken with my phone without any flash: the coasters are this sparkly in natural light!  

2 super pretty coasters, at $8 a piece.  I really don't have company much, so 2 is perfect for me!

The walls of my condo are ORANGE, and my decor is pretty eclectic so this coaster fits right in!

Love it in the white as well

Cute, no?

You can buy them online here -->   Celestial Coasters   but you have to buy them in a 4 pack, and all of the same color.  If you get them from the Antro store you can mix & match and get as many/few as you want!  The coasters come in 7 different colors and they are all wicked pretty IMO.

Rabbit ring dish!  $10 at Anthro!   I usually keep a few pieces of jewelry out that I wear frequently, so may as well make them look cute and organized.



And lastly... here is something I'm lusting after but can't justify for $50.  

"8 arms hook."   Completely random, but that's my style.  I don't need to have
an octopi-themed home to have an octopus hook,  do I?

A 37 second video, does that count? No? Okay more later.

Back in Michigan & MAC goodies!

*Shout out to iAMminky3 : I can't comment on your blog!  :'(  When it gets to the word verification, it doesn't give me a box to type it! :'( 


I'm back in Michigan.  

That means no more of this...

this...

Or this... 

My 8 lb monster dog, Grendel

There were so many things that looked super exciting in MAC's A Tartan Tale collection... but I agree with the people who said the swatches/trying it in person was disappointing.

I only bought ONE thing from the A Tartan Tale collection...

Things that I did buy, though!!

4 new eyeshadows:  Goldmine, Idol Eyes, White Frost, and Juxt 

FYI:  I have a ton more MAC eye shadows than this... I just used to buy everything in the individual container because I thought it stayed cleaner.  Now I'm alllll for palettes & I refuse to buy any more singular eyeshadows... they are too hard to find when you're looking for a specific color!

And the other things I bought?  Lip products or "lippies" as ya'll call it!

Add caption

The only thing I bought from A Tartan Tale!  MAC Dazzleglass Creme "Soft Dazzle" and I lurveeee it.  It's the first Dazzleglass I've owned!

Spice is Nice cremesheen

The lipliner is not pictured, but the color is "Spice"-- to match the lipstick, obvi!

I'm hopefully going to do a Youtube video tomorrow.  One of you brought up a good point that I would like to discuss further! Besides, it's been a while since I've made a fool of myself on the internet (or has it? you tell me).
