I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve. I ended up going to a house party of friends from college and was in love with all of the cute NYE decor I was seeing everywhere I looked.
I asked the hostess, Rachel, about all of her adorable decorations and she told me everything there was under $30! I was blown away by all of her details and on top of it, what a bargain it all was. She's a girl after my own heart. Here is how she did it:

Her grand total for all decorations was only $29.75, and I'm beyond impressed. How did you ring in the New Year?
Okay yah, Kind of obsessed with these decorations. I love when I find out someone didn't spend a zillion dollars because usually stuff I like is pricey haha.
ReplyDeleteSide note: the shoes i'm wearing in my post are wedges. Found here: http://canada.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=footwr&footwr%5Fstyle=&footwr%5Fsize=&footwr%5Fcolor=&footwr%5Fprice=&product%5Fid=2084983146&Page=all (sorry for the long link.. i'm actually kind of annoyed because they now have a leather version of these shoes which would be sooo much better for Vancouver rain!)
Happy New Year xo
