Planning

I published the first post on Apartment Sense this morning, check it out here and let me know what you think! I am extremely excited and have already planned a list of topics to talk about. Speaking of planning, every inch of my life could use some organization. How about yours? Organization begins with planning and planning begins with a new planner, right? (Blogger logic). Right! For 2014, I wanted something more than just a black mead planner (yes I have been guilty of those in the past). I started researching for one last month and found too many options to decide so I decided to put planner buying on the back burner.

Now here it was the third day of the new year and 3 days before school starts, and I was still without a planner so earlier today I ventured to Target for socks and came back with two notebooks and a planner.

The planner is super functional and PINK; I absolutely dig it. Guess what is on the top of each page? Gold polka dots! What brand is it? Paper Sugar based out of Los Angeles, California.

To see it in person, visit your local Target...in the meantime, take a look from my eye:

Are you also guilty of rushing out to buy a new planner as soon as a new year rolls around? Which brands do you prefer and why? I've never spent over $10 on a planner so are the good ones worth forking out the bucks for? Also, Do you have multiple planners or just one for everything? I have a planner for school and another for blogging! It seems to work out better for me because I like to keep blogging separated from school...and shopping. Although if I have a big event I will mark it in both; which can be a bit of a hassle.

Notebooks were purchased from Target also but are from the brand greenroom, linked here.

One more thing, don't forget to subscribe to my new blog Apartment Sense to see my home office transform.

I hope the new year is treating you well blogging family!

Apartment Sense

The day has finally arrived for me to announce my new blog, Apartment Sense. As some of you know I currently live in an apartment and struggle daily with the issue of space and organization. Due to this, I have been doing quite a bit of research relating to small spaces and what works opposed to what does not, and what will actually fit in my apartment.
Though this styling blog has been fun, my main focus has now shifted to apartment oriented topics. To be clear: I will still post on this blog but the topics will only include fashion and cosmetics. To follow Apartment Sense click here.
What will Apartment Sense consist of? I have an array of ideas floating around my head, but don’t know where to place them all yet. Keep in mind this blog is a working progress and is in its experimental stages, but I am still completely excited to pour myself into something new and exciting! I am even more excited to share it with my readers. No set plans yet, but maximizing space will be a huge part of the focus of this blog plus frugal spending.
(I am an admitted shopaholic,but I am savvy so I think it evens out.) I want readers to look to Apartment Sense when searching for inspiration to maximize and liven up their small space. I want this blog to be centered around functionality and taking the little amount of space you do have, and using it wisely.

Btw, Happy New Year!
