JANUARY BLAHS...

Currently I am suffering from a bad case of the January blahs... You know the feeling after Christmas when your decorations are put away (or almost put away in my case) and the house feels like it is missing something...We moved into our house last April and I haven't really purchased many new accessories first their was 4th of July decorations, then fall, then Christmas and I now realize I don't have nearly enough accesories in my stash to fill all the holes. Problem is I am trying to use what I have and well, everything is just blahhhh....so instead of cleaning up the other day I started browsing around the internet and to my surprise discovered that URBAN OUTFITTERS (isn't just that cool looking store in the mall that at 35 I am too intimidated to enter)... has some amazing home decor pieces that I MUST have.
