my home: kitty edition

I've finally finished unpacking my apartment and getting things the way I like them! Its taken me about 8 months to do it but since I had mono I was out of commission for 2 months. Yuck! Lately I've been thinking about something cute to spice up the area where we keep our cat's, Princess Emilie or Emilie for short, little condo tree. Our neighbors were so awesome and bought it for us for Christmas since we spent about $700 having her shipped here to Germany in November.

The more I look at cute room designs the more I am falling in love with the idea of a garland or banner to hang above it. My husband, Levin, loves the idea and is encouraging me to go buy one! The only issue is, I'm suck on what exactly I want it to look like.

I've had a few ideas that revolve around the whole Princess theme because she is so spoiled! I mean she has a bed on my husbands dresser, her own chair, a cat house, and more than enough attention. I know you guys are probably laughing at the 22 year old cat lady right now but I love her to death! Here is what I kind of had in mind, but maybe with a princess theme:

weekly wishlist: iphone edition

My husband recently informed me that I will be getting an iPhone 3gs from our friend that is moving to Japan in a few weeks. I'm a little too excited about the phone but not at the cost of our friend moving away. He was had his iPhone for at least 6 months and its in amazing condition. What can I say, the guy takes care of all of his belongings. Ever since the news of getting a new case I have been going crazy with looking for cute cases.

I've known about Japanese deco for a few years now since I have this odd obsession with Japanese culture. Since my discovery of tumblr I've come across some really amazing webstores that sell handmade items. And this baby is one of them! Now this really isn't a wishlist item perse because I've already purchased my own deco case from Jolie Petite Deco. The owner, Danielle, is a super sweet girl from England that has been making her own deco cases for about a year (give or take a few months) now. I've been drooling over her cases for ever and now I will finally have one... eventually. I just have to be patient and wait for her to make it and ship it out to me! If you are in the market for a deco phone case then I highly suggest checking her store out!

Enough of the sugary sweet OTT cases! I've also been admiring some rather cute simplistic looking cases. These above are from Iconemesis that I found out about from Puglypixel. I'm absolutely in love with Fifi Lapin (left case) and how could I not love the kitties on the case on the right? I might have to break down and buy some of these after I become tired of my deco phone case!

Well thats it for now! I'm sorry that my posts are few and far between. Levin's father passed and we have been on a strict schedule since it happened. I know excuses are stupid but I do apologize to those of you that enjoy reading my little posts. I'm going to try my best to keep my mind positive and start posting again!
