I thought I’d start a new series called “Weekend Wrap-up”. Don’t worry, I won’t bore you with all of my weekend charades, but from time to time, I’ll give you a glimpse into what I do in my free time.

I’m a bargain shopper and have a slight addiction to private sale websites. Most recently I bought a mirror from MyHabit. On Saturday, I finally got around to hanging it. The mirror has a beautiful zebra-wood inspired gold frame which gives it an ethnic, chic feel. I decided to hang it in my dining room directly across from the window to help add light.

Sunday was a shopping day and I hit Abbot Kinney! 🙂 First I treated myself to this awesome handmade aged brass and neon necklace I bought from Strim Vintage.

Then I visited Urbanic for the first time (and fell in love). I bought these adorable papers from Snow & Graham (floral) and Midori (blue polka dot). Stay tuned for a chic DIY project that I’m planning for them.

Well, that’s it, hope you enjoyed it. Want to about my weekend adventures every week, once a month, never again? Leave a comment to let me know what you think. Thanks!
