Pink, Black & White

Gap Sweater // Gap Jeans // Madewell Shoes //

Zara Bag {similar} // Kate Spade Watch // Elizabeth Stone Jewelry Bracelet

I feel like this outfit sums up the tone of my closet without even meaning too! I love a good stripe and you'll have seen this sweater on the blog before. A lot of my recent outfits have been a mix up of old pieces as I was on a shopping ban for Lent and I have been trying to cut down my spending in general while we save for things for the house.

I have worn this combination so many times in the past couple of years, yet for some reason it has never quite made it on to the blog. These jeans are the prettiest shade of pink and although these are old I have linked a similar pair here for you all.

Circle bags were big last year and the trend seems to have continued into this year which I am super happy about because my first purchase after Lent may have been another one, look out for it in my April faves post!

Weekend Comfs

Abercrombie & Fitch Pullover // Zara Jeans {old} // Kate Spade Keds

Happy Monday Everyone. I thought I would stop by and say hello again! I spent last weekend in Venice and I can't wait to share more on that with you all. This is going to be my first full week of work in 4 weeks because I have had so many long weekends, it's gonna seem like a long week I can already tell.

This is a super simple comfy outfit I have been reaching for on weekends where I have lots of errands to run and things to get done. I actually shot this look a few weeks back now but without realising I reached for these exact same pieces again this weekend. I love how soft this pullover is and it comes in a whole bunch of colours. I was debating between the green and pink so I let Sean decide for me and he choose the army green, he probably thinks I have too much pink in my closet but there isn't such a thing as too much pink in my opinion.

A Look Into My Closet

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend, didn't it just go by in a flash?

I wanted to finally start sharing some pictures from my home with you all. You all haven't really had a chance to see much on the blog and even on my Instagram I have only shared a few glimpses (follow the hashtag #athomewithstacey to see more).

The living room is about to get its make over finally and I am so excited to finally see the main room of the house come together, I just order the new sofa at the weekend, I'm finally going to have the corner sofa I always wanted!

I knew I wouldn't be able to decorate everything as soon as I got the keys because buying the house drained all my funds so lots of saving has had to take place, but one of the first rooms I did want to get done was my closet! I had always wanted my own dressing space and although we don't have much space in this house, the smallest bedroom made for the perfect room for my office/closet.

I was on a budget so I knew I wanted to use the IKEA Pax wardrobes, ever since my first trip to IKEA I have had pictures saved on my phone of want I dreamed of having. If I had a bigger space I would totally love to have a whole shoe section too, but that's still dream.

I really love the Pax system because it's so easy to customise, I already had a good idea what I wanted to create thanks to many trips to IKEA over the years and Pinterest (my inspo here), so I just ordered online, got it delivered to house and built it all with the help of my Dad, yes it's super easy to put together yourself!

It's not 100% finished yet, I still need to add some of my favourite prints above my desk and actually organise my desk but it's almost there. It's my favourite space in the house so far and Bella loves to hang out in here with me too. I've linked as much as I can below but if you want to know where anything else is from just leave me a comment!
