Live:

When I made my most recent move, I decided to skip the roommate thing.  I’ve always lived with other people, but for the first time in my life, I wanted to try it out on my own. Plus I’d had some pretty interesting results from my roommate search.  One of the problems with moving in by yourself for the first time is you actually have to own stuff.  Which I had none of.  So the day I moved in, my living room was equipped a chair.  That’s pretty much it.  One chair.

So I dove into the couch search.  One chair wasn’t quite cutting it for guests.  I should tell you, I did end with something affordable, sensible and versatile, but what this is what I really wanted. It’s from Anthropologie.  I will most likely never be able to afford it…but a girl can dream, right?

Wear:

Mustard is, quite possibly, the most kick-ass color that ever existed.  Which is why in addition to wanting it spread about my living space, I like to wear it.  Not so much the food, but the color.

This dress from Mod Cloth is absolutely lovely.  Though I would disappear into the couch.

But just in case you’re not ready to completely immerse yourself in mustard this spring, this belt from j crew would be the perfect compromise.

Or these delicous peep-toes from Mod Cloth:

Listen:

Since mustard is such a cheery color, it deserves a poppy, upbeat song.  Enter Slow Club. I can’t seem to get enough of this duo’s folky and quirky sound.

Slow Club – It Doesn’t Have to Be Beautiful

‘Cause I’m always thinking, thinking about where you are
Who you’re with and if your mind is far
From what we do when we’re alone
Love is to much for me and now the wall needs to grow
