Music Spotlight: Milos Karadaglic

Okay, ladies... answer me this: Who of you have never wished you had an exotic guitarist to serenade you whenever you felt the need to swoon? I know I have. And at last I've found him. Last week an episode of Better introduced me to Milos Karadaglic. He's a young (only 27!), handsome, and very talented man from Montenegro... and he's bringing the classical guitar back to the music scene by topping music charts in the UK.

His music is as beautiful as he is. I've been listening to it pretty much nonstop---while I rearrange furniture, while I do homework, while I write, while I'm getting around in the morning, even now as I'm blogging. It's very relaxing, romantic, exotic, and altogether gorgeous-sounding. He's not just eye-candy... he's a treat for the ears, too!

I wanted to share my newfound musical treasure with all of you! I hope you enjoy him as much as I do. Because truly, I think I'm in love. ;)

DIY Cat Barrier for Under $100 (See-Through, Climb-Proof, and Too-Tall-To-Jump)

ICYMI: I gave up Cotton after deciding that after trying so many things, my two adopted cats Dahlia and Cotton were just never going to get along. Long story short: I missed her. And Cotton's back. And Dahlia's not going anywhere. My heart is big enough to keep trying. And my apartment is big enough that if I need to keep them separated long term (or permanently), it can be done.
I'm going to write-up a separate post about some of the solutions I've tried, how they worked, who they worked on, and what I'll be trying next. But in this post, I wanted to share the main 'piece de resistance' of having both cats in my apartment: an un-climbable, un-jumpable, see-through barrier to separate Cotton and Dahlia.

Blair's Room | Gossip Girl Decor

Manhattan's debutante Blair Waldorf happens to be my favorite Gossip Girl character. Her behavior and feelings vary from snobbish to sensitive, but she always (except for a few rare occasions) looks and acts totally pulled together. Her luxurious bedroom is fit for a queen---and is as pulled together as her preppy fashion ensembles.
