College Diaries: Dorm Living

College Diaries: 
Here are some pictures from my dorm room. I decorated it with the color scheme of purple, grey, black, and white. Almost everything is purple so I basically look like a crazy purple lady but that is just how I roll. 

Above my bed I hung my monogram that I made. (I have a blog post on DIY dorm decorations) Also, I hung a variety of different pictures using twin and clothes pins that I painted. 

Where everything is from: 
Bed spread: Kate Spade at Bed Bath and Beyond 
Pillows: TJ Maxx, Home Goods, and Target 


Here is another one of my DIY decorations. I also hung a little sign from Hobby Lobby and a canvas Audrey picture from Meijer. 


My desk has a lot of stuff on it. I have all of my makeup, perfumes and body sprays, school supplies, and some of my jewelry on my desk. I keep things organized in my own special way you could say. 


This is under my lofted bed. I set up a temporary clothing rack to create more storage. Also, to display my favorite dresses. But I keep my coats, scarfs, and a jewelry organizer on the rack as well. On the right I hung a shoe organizer from my bed. It was meant for over the door but it works perfectly from my loft. 

Where it's from: 
Shoe organizer: Khols 
Hamper: Home Goods 
Scarf organizer: Container Store 


This is our wardrobe area. It has some hanging space along with drawers. I hung this dress jewelry organizer from the outside along with my M that my friend made me. It makes the bare cabinet a little more fun and personalized. 

Where it's from: 
Jewelry organizer: Container Store

Dorm Shopping + OOTD

July 24th, 2013:

My roommate and I finally got our bedding! Score! It was a long awaited process but we settled on this Kate Spade bedding from Bed Bath and Beyond. Yes, I did get Kate Spade bedding....... I can feel the judgement. But, that's totally okay.

It is this grey pattern with scroll like details (it's hard to describe) and the reverse side is just simple grey with white polka dots. So, if I get sick of one side I can switch it back and forth which is nice. I am planning on doing a purple accent color for sheets and pillows.




Taking a picture with the shopping cart. Everything turns into a photo shoot. The usual. 


The Outfit: Surprisingly the midwest has gotten a little cooler over this whole week. So I decided to layer this denim shirt with my typical summer outfit. This maxi skirt is a fun coral color that brightens up the look. Adding the chain necklace adds a tiny edge along with the acid wash style of the shirt. 

Where it's from: 
Shirt: American Eagle 
Tank: Unknown 
Skirt: Forever 21 
Shoes: Melissa for Forever 21 
Necklace: Forever 21 
Bag: Michael Kors 
Sunnies: Charming Charlie's 
Bracelet: Henri Bendel
