The place.

I know a few of you (hi, Line!) have been waiting to see pictures of my new place. It's a bachelor apartment in the heart of the city. Totally a city slicker now!

{My living area & bedroom. Entirely IKEA I think?}

{The kitchen. Sorry about the dishes - hey, at least I did them.}

{The bar table that I couldn't resist}

And then the details...

{storage for everything on my dresser}

{The shoe collection. No, it's not all of them.}

And this is my favourite lamp & how I wind down after a day at the office. I love the soft "romantic" lighting (sans romance, ya know).

I am still missing so many things: 

- Photographs of friends & family

- A big picture to put above my bed

- A curtain for my closet to cover the clothing

- Some pretty flowers to put in the vase

- Colourful cushions for the couch

Once I've got these I might do another post of all the little details. 

But for now, this is what you guys get!

Moving in style...Not

I just don't think it's possible to move stylishly.
I mean, sneakers are a must for comfort, shorts for air-flow since it'll be warm, and a comfortable/breathable shirt for heavy lifting.
And it MUST be okay to get all of these things dirty.

Yep, moving is not a fashionable thing, folks.

Fear of the unknown.

As I've mentioned, I'm moving out of my parent's place at the end of the month. I'm beyond excited to finally get back into the city again, but I can't help but feel a little nervous.

I've never lived fully on my own. I've lived with friends, my boyfriend at the time, and then moved back with my family. No matter what, there has always been someone else to spend time with. I've never truly been alone for an extended period of time, and I don't know how I'll feel about it. I'm not the biggest social butterfly, but I crave interacting with people.

I know this sounds silly for many of you, because I'm sure you have done this before, but for me it's a first. Everyone tells me that this is going to be an amazing experience, and I know it will be. I guess it's just fear of the unknown.

The best is yet to come :)
