As a new blog feature, I thought it would be fun to show you guys little bits and pieces of my home! =) When I moved into my new apartment, one of the things I was most excited about was decorating my new place. Even though I lived in a cute apartment over the summer (I was subletting from a friend), it’s so nice to have a place to call your own. One of my first stops for home goods was Anthropologie where I picked up the pretty measuring cups, tea towel, and bowls pictured above. Afterwards, I found those sweet little measuring spoons in a store called Bowery Kitchen in Chelsea Market. Lastly, I spotted that star-shaped napkin holder during an Ikea trip and it was love at first sight. I mean, isn’t it just perfect for me?! All of these things contribute to making our apartment more homey and of course it’s more fun to cook with cute utensils! =)
Tell me: What’s your favorite item in your kitchen and where did you find it?
Also, I had a great time this past weekend on my first trip to Washington, D.C.- pictures to come on Friday!
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

This is an exciting feature! I love those cups. They’re so unique! My favorite piece in my kitchen are my Hello Kitty measuring spoons!
Great new feature! :)
I would have to say my favorite kitchen item is an old, huge pot that belonged to my great-grandma. We always use it to cook a Japanese stew for the new year, and my grandma has said that she will pass it along to me someday.
i am lusting after those bowls!! and my favorite part of my kitchen is the huge sign from the farmers market that says “a south carolina made product”…kitcshy and cute :) happy wednesday!
Everything’s so cute! There’s actually very little in my kitchen that’s cute…I don’t spend much time in there and pretty much just have the basics with no frills.

great new items, love the cups I like you style!
Take a look at my blog, and if you like it follow me, I’ll be waiting for you!
Cosa mi metto???
Those bowls are DARLING!!! I love the houseware at Anthropologie. I love the tea cups I acquired from my Mom; they were one of her wedding presents!!
I love this feature. Anthro is one of my favorites for home goods too – I adore their prints!
all of these are just so beautiful! can’t wait to see other little snippets of your lovely home!

The cups are so cute! I don’t live on my own, so nothing in my kitchen is really mine hehe
Knew those were anthropologie bc I heart them! Thanks for the birthday wishes :)
I don’t have cute little things like this….you are inspiring me to get some though!
Really cute patterns. I need to get some more dishes and cups and things; our collection has dwindled over the years as they’ve broken and we’ve moved. Will have to check out Anthropologie. :)
I LOVE all of anthros homegoods…. but i usually satisfy my need for cute things in the kitchen with trips to the thrift store and tjmaxx. I love my fry pans that have bold floral prints on them, and vintage pyrex mixing bowls.
Thanks for your comment hun! Xx and your blog looks so great.
Gorgeous! I love, LOVE those Anthro latte bowls; I use mine for everything.

I love those cups, and Anthropologie home in general. Have you ever been to Fishs Eddy in Flatiron? I think you would really like that store!
I agree it is amazing to have a place that is your very own. Decorating is so much fun. I love all of your beautiful items.
Too cute, I love those measuring cups they’re so unique.
you have such adorable kick-nats! my favorite kitchen item i have found so far is a vintage wooden cookie jar :) i hope that this week has treated you well!!
xx jamie
I love Anthropologie, they have the cutest home decor (not to mention clothes) and I’m very partial to their kitchen stuff. I have a few of their bowls that I can’t wait to use, I’m saving them for my future place. I love the measuring spoons they are too adorable.
I have a good amount of stuff for my future kitchen, mostly little stuff, one of my favorite things is my tea pot shaped timer. It is so cute, I hope to paint it though since it is just white.
Great post and great kitchen stuff.
