I want that!

I am a slave to product placement. When I saw Speed strut across screen in that blue jacket, I knew that I had to have it. Whether I wore it or I roped my boyfriend/brother/anyone into wearing, I knew that this movie wasn’t the end of me and the jacket.

I don’t feel ashamed because everyone has had a moment like this. After tirelessly searching for the jacket, I was just about to give up until I found this webpage.

filmjackets.com

These guys help you find the jacket you are looking for. Search their site and see all of the great movie apparel they’ve hunted down from Indiana Jones to Cry Baby. They even confirm if it’s the actual brand manufacturer from the film.

I’ve asked them to find one for me since it’s their specialty. I know it’s from a company called Belstaff that outfits tons of hollywood blockbusters. Let’s hope the site can come through!

Let’s Decorate!

I don’t know about you, but I’m a homebody. Why you may ask? Well mostly because 1.) I am poor and 2.) I hate dealing with weird people and I always run into them when I’m out, so I like making the place I live in as cool as possible. I mean if you are going to willingly confine yourself in an apartment, it might as well be nice.

My first thought to savvy up my apartment was furniture, but I remembered that I’m poor. (Poor to the point where I can’t afford IKEA furniture.) Plus, I didn’t want to get a bad piece that would ruin my apartment’s esthetic. Next, I thought I would put up framed pictures or paint, but that’s a lot of work. Also, because I live an an apartment, I’d have to paint the walls back to the original color and cover up all the holes. ( See what I mean, it even sounds like a lot of work!)

But I’ve run across a rather inexpensive, creative way to decorate an apartment- Blik. Blik is a design company that specializes in self adhesive wall decals. ( Stickers for grown-ups as they call it.) They have various styles that will fit several types of tastes and it’s super easy to do! Just peel and stick. You can keep it up for as long as you like and if you grow tired of it, just peel it off. What’s also great is they have a line called “Re-stik” that will allow to reuse them.

Now that you know how to make your apartment cool, go do it! I guarantee you’ll never want to leave!

P.S. For all those threadless.com fans out there, they have created wall decals out of some of the more popular designs. Now you can have your walls match your wardrobe!
