Gold H&M crochet sweater, Burgundy American Apparel corduroy skirt, Brown thrifted belt, Black thrifted hat, White Goodwill vinyl bag, Tawny Crossroads Aldo ankle-boots, Forever 21 rings.
During my thrift shopping, I found this burgundy American Apparel corduroy skirt at Crossroads, and looved it! It seems whenever I go thrifting and I find an AA item, I immediately buy it lol, or at least consider it. In addition, at Crossroads, I found these pretty Aldo buckle ankle boots! Definitely two items I loved to add to my wardrobe. Paired these off with my fave H&M crochet sweater & new Goodwill addition - a structured white vinyl bag with gold details in the front.

If I could name something I really love next to fashion, it would be anything interior design. Before, I used to always tune in to HGTV network and start watching the interior design shows like Design on a Dime or on TLC, Trading Spaces. Occasionally, I'd love to watch on ABC, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
But as you get my point, I LOVE to think up of ways on how to design a space and make it look not only amazing but useful and organized. If you have not been yet, Ikea is THE place to shop for functionality and beauty for any type of piece you want to add to your living space. Yes. As you can tell, Ikea holds a special place in my heart lol.
Soo, I haven't been to Ikea in a while, decided this past weekend to go with the boyfriend and window-shop for some interior design inspirations and also pick up a few key items for my room. There was one piece in particular that really caught my eye, I loved this lamp! It was really quirky yet pretty and intriguing -- had lots of flower-like shapes made of paper material all around the light bulb.
I even came across this one room that seriously stole my heart. It had a huge wardrobe with sliding doors and inside had every kind of organization I would need for my clothes, accessories, and shoes. K, random question, do any of you just love going through model-homes and admiring all the beautiful hard work that went into the interior design? Someday when I get my future house, I hope it will look like a model home :).
In addition to this post, would like to announce the winner of the High Gloss Fashion Giveaway! Big congrats to Emily of Redesign That, hope you enjoy your Urban Behavior sweater girl! :)
Also onto more news, I just did a whole new makeover of my blog shop where it's now moved to Tumblr. Def check it out! I've added new items :). Shopinspirafashion.tumblr.com
Alrighty lovelies, hope you enjoyed my Ikea post! Just thought I'd share with you something other than fashion I am passionate about. Hope you all had an amazing weekend and your weeks are off to a great start! PS. The vlog post is in progress, and will most likely be up instead by next weekend, sorry lovelies! (Had to do some HW and had a family party to attend).
Until then, keep inspiring beautifuls with your aamazing blogs!! :)
<3, Kathleen.

You always find the best items when thrifting! I should go more often. Love that sweater and bag!

Your crochet top is killer, Kathleen! And gahh I share your love for Ikea. And I love Ikea food so much. After browsing through wardrobes/closets I'll never have, I drown my sorrows with some hotdogs and chips. It's actually kind of depressing now that I think about it

I love your skirt, it looks great on you! I've been eye-ing it for a while but never got around to trying it on haha. And I LOVE the back of that sweater!
I'm also really into interior design! When I was little I'd always look at those model homes with my mom, and later helped her design our remodeled kitchen. It's so much fun! I think I can tell the similarities with fashion and interior design.

I love this pullover do you know that the Ikea-man is the richest man in the world
I love your outfit, the skirt is such a gorgeous colour and with you on Ikea - it's amazing! My Dad's a property developer so I've always been crazy obsessed with interior design and architecture, I even love looking at blueprints. x

Such a great outfit. I have the same jumper and wouldn't have thought to tuck it in to a skirt - it looks fab! xx
hey girly! can I just say I love how you use 'beautiful' as a noun and make it plural, calling us all 'beautifuls' ;) your trip to ikea sounds like so much fun! we will definitely have to stop there when I visit, its one of my favorite places too! I LOVE your ankle boots girl, I might have to squeeze my feet into them when we start sharing closets! ;) design on a dime was one of my favorite shows! I don't have tv anymore so I miss it :( hope your week is starting out amazing!
xoxo
I cannot believe those are thrift store finds! you are one lucky gal :) our thrift stores kind of suck down here, blah. and I'd looove for my house to look like a model home lol, I can't wait to have my own place and go crazy! I think I'll max out Alex's credit cards... well, our credit cards when we're married then haha. but ikea is definitely one of the places I can't go to because I buy things I don't even need! cute and affordable? always! :)
