Home + Living: Urban Outfitters Review

Soooo I've decided to start blogging about home + living.  I moved into a sweet new apartment way back and didn't decorate at all because I was too busy with life *shrugs* Nothing wrong with the minimalism, but I DO want to fancy up my crib. I thought I'd start by reviewing new apartment stuffs from Urban Outfitters.  OH, and I jacked these pics from the UO website.  I'll share my own with you guys later on.

1.  Three Tier Rolling Cart ($179) - To be honest, I'm a little bummed about this piece.  It looks SUPER cute online, but the quality's a bit "eh" in person.  As you can see, it's a circular cart with three wire-mesh shelves.  UO markets it as a bar cart, but it's definitely not sturdy enough to function as one IMO.  I had a really tough time putting it together because pieces weren't fitting right.  With that said, I'm keeping it because it has a cool vintage vibe, and it looks really good next to my piano.

2.  Acid Etched Letter ($12) - A faux-antique etched metal letter that you can place on a shelf or tabletop.  Cute for sure but a bit flimsy.  Keep in mind that it's made to look "imperfect". I only bought one, but I think a lot of people purchase full words.  I may actually get my full name - still debating, though.

3.  Glass Octagon Display Box ($39) - Love, love, LOVE this case.  This geo-shaped box has three glass shelves inside and is PERFECT for holding jewelry and/or other magical trinkets.  I totes recommend this piece. Looks way more expensive than it is!

4.  Firefly String Lights ($28) - Hm, I have mixed feelings about these lights.  They're super cute and all, but they're kind of pricy.  Hopefully they'll last for a while!  I'll be bummed if they burn out quickly.  The LED bulbs are surprisingly bright, and the copper wire's bendable so you can string it wherever.  It comes with a water-resistant electrical adapter.  FYI: these lights are only 15' long!

Have you guys shopped UO's apartment collection?  If not, where do you guys buy home stuffs?

Find of the Day: The Striped Tunic ($25.99 + Free US Shipping)

Very excited to tell you guys about today's FOTD.  This striped tunic (available here at Bikini Luxe) is currently on sale for $25.99 - originally $31.  It's seriously one of THE most comfortable tops I've ever worn.  It's super soft and versatile.  You can wear it to work and look tres chic or bum around the house and netflix it up all day, haha.  I may or may not have done both - hashtag don't judge me.  ANYWHO,  it's made of cotton, and as you can see, it has a round neck.   OH,  and Bikini Luxe offers free US shipping.  

I feel like every woman should own an oversized striped top.  I was actually lookin' for a flattering version myself.  Lucky for me, BL sent me this fab piece to review, and now I'm here tellin' you guys to cop one for yourself.  This piece is perfect for all season - I'm thinkin' leggings and boots in the Fall/Winter and sandals and fab statement jewelry in the Spring/Summer.  If you're still not convinced, scroll down below for some serious stripe inspo.  OH, and of course, just to remind y'all, this is NOT a sponsored post, and I'm not makin' any commission whatsoever.

As promised, here's striped inspo for y'all - images jacked from Pinterest.

How do you guys feel about stripes?  Are they are do or a don't?
