New York City Living Rooms That Make Me Work Harder

I am (still) decorating my living room. Between my roommate and I, who rather not make the decorating decisions, we are S L O W.  That's all good.  We are in no rush. It's only been EIGHT MONTHS.

Found these amazing and inspiring NYC living rooms that made me say whoa while making me want to raise that paycheck.

Easy.Chic.DIY: Colored Pumpkins

I saw this on Pinterest the other day and I immediately put it on my to do list for October.  Instead of carving pumpkins that consist of two triangles and a rectangle (eyes and mouth, done!) or reliving my college years with one of these, I've decided to go the classy route this time.  I'm a grown woman and that is what grown woman do.  

No, but really, these pumpkins are absolutely gorgeous and would look great as a table decoration. All you need are three small, funky sized pumpkins, acrylic paint and a paint brush.  As a touch I would paint the stem gold, but your call.  

Have a great October, ya'll.

Naci en Latitud Perfecta...

So I'm back in New York City with a bittersweet feeling. I love this city but I can't help but feel sad of leaving my family and friends back home in PR. I was lucky I was there for almost two weeks.

The weather was perfect. It was hot, sunny and breezy. Basically the polar opposite of NYC. I got back today at 9AM (mind you, my flight was supposed to leave at 3AM) and was soon graced with a lovely wind chill factor of -1. Toasty!

Below is a medley of pictures from my trip. Enjoy...
