Out with the Old and In with the New

I have so much to post about I don't even know where to start. The past week has been a hectic, but really good one.

Lists always seem to serve me well in these types of situations:

1. I got a job! 150 people applied, and they picked me. Freaking awesome.

Also, it pays $16/hour. YAY. They want me to start Monday. AH.

2. I got the keys to my apartment and started buying cute things. Don't worry, I'll be posting the transformation.

3. I got a new winter coat! Snow and wind will be no match for me.

4. I got my poster in the mail!!

5. My apologies for a lack of outfits, but I promise I will take lots of pictures this weekend. I've been wearing only sweats or interview clothes lately, and those are boring (I only wear black/grey and no jewelry when on an interview; I want them to remember me for my qualifications, not my sparkly necklace or red skirt).

Picture time!

The always adorable Kimmie (who has mastered cute business casual like no other), held a giveaway a week or two ago and I won! My prize was a fabulous poster (of my choice!) from A Vintage Poster. Can't wait to put it in my apartment :)

I ordered a Calvin Klein winter coat from Macy's last week and it came today. It was originally $265 and I got it on sale for $109.99 with free shipping! While it looks bulky in the pictures, it is actually fairly slimming when worn, which is rare for a down-filled, knee-length coat.

I'm loving the giant, fur-lined hood.

Dilemma of the day: I need a bedspread!

Okay, so I have this fabulous rug (a gift from a family friend!) that is going to work beautifully as a pop of color in my white-walled apartment. However, I am having a very hard time deciding on what kind of comforter/bedspread would compliment it best. Suggestions?!

Okay, time to continue packing.

Ginger is being a big help, as usual.
