The bed frame I will be getting is this Malm bed from IKEA. Yes, it's IKEA and I know some of you out there don't put the words "nice" and "IKEA" in the same sentence, but I do. I like to think of myself as something of an IKEA superfan. DAAA LINGONBERRY! I'm loving the nightstands that are part of the Malm series. They connect with the back of the headboard to look like one piece. It gives it this whole "hey, I'm really cool bed" feel.

Onto a pretty duvet. At first I was in love with the Cirrus Bedding from Anthropologie, but it's a lot more than I am willing to spend. Then I found the Parachute Duvet at West Elm and it's very similar and half the price. It adds a touch of femininity to the masculine bed. Plus the ruching gives it that undone look, which is good for me, because for some reason my kitten Willow thinks that after I make the bed it's time to run across it at top speed.

After I get those two things I will work on the sheets. I'm thinking stripes and dots. Here are some sheet layering tips from Decor8 which has given me the courage to try layering.

I have always thought that a world map was essential to making an office, office-y. They were my favorite part of classrooms during my school days. I remember staring at them, dreaming of all the cities I wanted to visit when I got older. I wondered what the people must be like that lived there, and I'm still the same today. Then in high school I met my future husband and looking at maps became a totally different, more emotional experience because we were in a long-distance relationship for 3 years. The song "Set Fire to the Third Bar" by Snow Patrol explains it best.

So to summarize, I really like maps.

Especially this map from These Are Things. I love its vintage look and the calming colors. This is going to look stellar and office-y in my new office.

I have this obsession with vintage cameras, well, all cameras really. So obviously I NEED these embroidery patterns from Kitschy Digital Goods.

Now here's some cross stitch patterns that ain't for your granny! This sh*t is f*ckin' cute! Anything that provides a sense of humor is good in my book. Subversive Cross Stitch has many hilarious kits to choose from. I love the "Shut the f*ck up" kit, mainly because this phrase is uttered at least 20 times a day in this house. It's out of love.

F*ck Cancer Kit

But what I think will strike a chord with many people is the "F*ck Cancer" kit. I'm thinking of buying this kit for myself and my mom as she has lost her two best friends, Jo and Deb, to cancer over the past three years. Jo recently succumbed to cancer just 3 days after Christmas and Deb's two year anniversary will be coming up on Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day also marks the death of Homer, he was my grandfather's best friend who died of liver cancer. He made sure to be there for me since of my grandfather died 3 years before I was born. So that's another reason I don't care much for Valentine's Day that I didn't mention in my previous post. All of them meant so much to me and I'm honestly finding it hard to finish this post. So since I can't physically give cancer a piece of my mind I can get my message across and heal through this amazing cross stitch pattern. I don't think I can thank Julie Jackson enough for designing this.

But since I am excited this year I want to share some cute finds! I hope my husband is paying attention.

I'm currently in the process of decorating my bedroom and looking for some new bedding, pillows, and pillowcases.

His and Hers Cactus Pilllowcases

My husband and I just got married 3 months ago in Las Vegas, Nevada. So when I found these felted, state-shaped pillows I had what I guess you can call a joygasm. I don't see any Nevada-shaped pillows, but it looks like you can make requests.

Felted, State-shaped Pillows

I don't think I even need to describe why I love this one so much. We're finally a "Mr. and Mrs." Love it.

"Mr. and Mrs." Pillow

Wow. Just look at this shoe. I'm pretty sure I just had a heart attack. I saw this shoe on LOOKBOOK.nu's Facebook page and I knew I had to share it with you. It was part of a collaboration between Need Supply and LOOKBOOK.nu, and even though the final product isn't available until March, you can go ahead and pre-order these gorgeous babies. I don't know about you, but I think when I receive these, I'll be cuddling them tightly every night.

Geeky home decor -- there isn't enough of it. I love looking and reading decorate blogs more than anyone I know, with all of their infinite inspiration and ideas. While getting excited over just how amazing these rooms are I often feel like sometimes they lack a certain personality. It's possible to over-decorate and I want to get to know the person when I walk through their door (or look at their styled photographs of their home). You just can't get a good read on someone if everything is perfectly calculated and matched. Or maybe that just means they're anal or careful, who knows?

When I think about decorating my home I want my interests and loves almost jumping out at you. I'm a blogger and I love it very much, and I'm also something of a Photoshop nerd, so when I found these perfect pillows from Craftsquatch on Etsy I squealed as if I had just gotten to see Robert Pattinson nude. And y'all, they even have a fail whale pillow! It doesn't get much better than this if you're looking for some geeky home decor.

I happened to find these delicious looking candles while doing a random search on Google the other day and fell instantly in love. These ingenious candles don't just smell like your favorite dessert, they resemble your favorite dessert. At Mellow Candles, they have everything from pie candles, sugar cookie tart melts, fruit preserve jar candles, and cocktail candles. I think these would make a great gift to anyone who's turning 21, such as a college grad, a bachelorette, or the beer candle for a bachelor.

Now here's a fun candle sure to grab attention. Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, that flame really is green! These innovative candles from More Than Light produce colored flames like green, blue, purple, and red from their special oil. I'm interested to see what these look like in person so I might have to get some when Spring rolls around. I would love to have these outside!

There's the more luxurious Luna line and the less expensive Volturi line. In the Luna line you'll find "Mortal Glow Blushing Creme", color palettes (in Bella, Rosalie, Alice, and Victoria), etc. The Volturi line features "Deity Body Lotion" and "Immortal Body Shimmer", just to name a couple. The word on the street is that all of the actors in New Moon are wearing the makeup from the Twilight Beauty line! How awesome is that?

There is no release date yet, although I did see it was supposed to be released yesterday but the Twilight Beauty site still says coming soon.

In the mean time we can get our hands on DuWop's "Twilight Venom" that will give your lips a nice crimson stain. Amazon appears to currently have these in stock.
