what i have been longing for for years...what i have been longing for every trip to target, every trip to ikea, every long glance at urban outfitters home decor, every time i come across a home goodie...the owning of a house to decorate for my very own. ecstatic. this april the decorating and home owning begins. ecstatic. i took pictures of the house we will be living in to get my mind thinking of how we can revamp it monica and jachenator style. i am really liking the below items. especially that grey couch. yes, please. did i mention i was ecstatic about this?? let it begin!











all from urban outfitters, who has stores in switzerland and who ships there, except the fur frame, which if i did i would make myself.

things i {LOVE}

i have wanted this perfume for a good couple years, but haven't seen it here in stores. when i was in germany i found it. i may just have to see if it's still there come april.

DUH. i should own this. lens thermos. apparently there are many different ones out there. who knew! mine would have to be a canon one of course. i could handle snuggling up on my couch with cocoa inside this.

i love these nail polish colors from forever 21.



i want a watch like this...simple elegant with a large face and this one has a chocolate metallic like strap.

i love these boots. i have always wanted a pair of duck boots for winter. they would be perfect for my upcoming living in snowy wintered switzerland. from here.
