As a full time content creator working from home, I have to work a little harder to make sure I’m taking time to relax + wind down in my space otherwise I’ll just keep creating! I love what I do, but work breaks as well as time for myself, my fiance, and my pup are important. Something that really helps me relax while at home is a comfortable but cute outfit!
This year, I’m very excited about decorating for fall! It’s probably because for the first time, not only do I love the interiors in my apartment, but I’ve finally been able to decorate it exactly how I want + in the style I like which I like to call “boho chic”. That’s not something I was able to do in the past because of roommates. Last year, I went all out for Christmas decor since my sister was coming to visit. But because we moved here in the fall last year, I didn’t really have the time to get myself together and decorate lol. So that is what we are doing this year and I can’t wait! I’ve rounded up a ton of boho chic fall decor inspiration on Amazon to share with you guys in this blog post. Everything is so cute and pretty affordable too! Plus of course, we love that free shipping ;P
It’s been awhile since I shared photos or an update on my beloved labradoodle Indio. Indio turned 1 earlier this year in March and we are quickly making our to the big 2, I can’t believe it! He, along with mom and dad, has been struggle-inggg this summer with the humidity hear in Pittsburgh so he has preferred his curls kept short 😉 He has been going through a couple of health struggles that mom has been researching and trying to figure out how to address for months!
This beautiful place is hands down my favorite spot in Pittsburgh! This beautiful building reminds me of the stunning architecture in Paris. I have a huge affinity for everything Parisian so I instantly fell in love the first time I visited. I’m also obsessed with plants and I love botanical gardens! It’s called Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Garden and it’s located right next to the university area here in Pittsburgh. We finally made it over there to capture some photos for the blog and I love how they turned out.
After a year of living in Pittsburgh, restaurants are finally starting to open back up which I’m thrilled about! I love amazing food + interiors with great ambience. My background is in interior design so I really appreciate beautiful spaces, especially in commercial design. In this blog post I will be sharing some of the Pittsburgh restaurants I love and I will be adding to the list as I discover new spots. I hope this blog post will be helpful for not only Pittsburgh locals but tourists visiting the city!
After a year of living in Pittsburgh, I finally feel like I have a really good grasp of the city and everything it has to offer! I have found several stores and boutiques that I am obsessed with that I wanted to share with those of you who live in Pittsburgh or plan on visiting this beautiful city. I have done this same blog post for Nashville and Portland too, both of which are some of my most popular blog posts so I of course had to do one for Pittsburgh and I plan on sharing a top 20 soon too!
I recently shared a reveal of my boho kitchen and dining area (check out the blog post here)! I am so happy with my space and how it’s come together. If you guys are new here, when we moved across the country over a year ago, I had to start collecting decor and furniture from scratch. I’ve slowly thrifted most of the home decor in our apartment and I have loved the process! It’s so fun finding the perfect items to display in your space. I know that not everyone has thrift stores near them or maybe they can’t find the right kind of decor when they go which is part of why I started my boho shop Urban Darling Shop! You can find a lot of the kinds of decor I style in my space in my shop but I also wanted to share similar items I’ve found on Amazon! Think wood decor, earth tones, ceramics, plants, and wicker. These home decor items are perfect for creating that boho look!
I’m super excited to finally be sharing my kitchen + dining area! I had a few details I wanted to “perfect” and it took me a minute before the space felt “right”. If you guys are new here, my fiance Schyler and I moved across the country from Portland to Nashville with a few boxes. I had to start over from scratch in our Nashville apartment but it was much smaller with more designated areas so it was simple to decorate. Our Pittsburgh apartment is an old loft with so many funny corners and pitched ceilings! It was a little tricky to decorate and I took my time thrifting pieces carefully. I wanted to make sure every item was something I loved!
Schyler and I were itching to take a road trip to a new city we hadn’t been to yet so we decided to check out Buffalo! One of the amazing things about living in Pittsburgh is that there are so many cities we can easily road trip to. Buffalo is only about 3 1/2 hours from Pittsburgh so it was perfect or a quick day and half trip. We also decided to road trip 30 min outside of Pittsburgh to see Niagra Falls which definitely made it a memorable trip. In this blog post, I’m sharing everything we managed to squeeze into our quick trip!
I love a good vintage store! It is like stepping into a candy store for me lol. We’ve been living in Pittsburgh for about 8 months now and I started finding some awesome spots right away. I’m so glad Pittsburgh has a ton of amazing vintage stores! In this blog post, I will be sharing 5 locations but in the future I will be sharing another blog post with 10 locations so check back 😉
