Dorm Room Tour (My Life Wednesday)

Hi Everyone!

So here is my first real post in about a week. I have been wanting to do a dorm tour for a while but finally have cleaned up my room and taken pictures before it gets messy again. I will be in my apartment/dorm until May which is when I get to move into an actual apartment! I am so excited and will make sure that I show you my decorating for there. Anyways...

Let's Get Started!


This is my door that leads out to the hallway of my apartment/dorm. I have hung a shoe rack on the back to make use of space and I think it works well and then you also can't see it when the door is open. But either way I don't think it looks cluttered but instead neat. 


To the side of my door on the towel rack I have a hand towel hung up. I do not keep my shower towels here, I keep those hung up on the rack in the bathroom. I also have a hair styler holder here that I keep them in because it can be used when they are still hot. 


Turning a little bit you will run into my desk which I love. As you can see I have a picture board that I made myself that is full of pictures and then a lamp, picture frame, laptop, and Lilly planner.


Taking a closer look I have a mason jar that I DIYed myself that is full of pens and then right next to that some sticky notes. My favorite thing here is my Harry Potter daily calendar and then a cute precious moments next to it that my Grandpa gave to me for Christmas.


On the corner of my desk I have a few books that I think are far to pretty to just keep in a drawer. 


In the front drawer is office supply's that I reach for often. Along with my blog planner, mini notebook, and a book.


Taking another turn you will run into my closet. I hate the closet doors they are an ugly yellow so I hung up a black curtain to cover them up and I think it makes the room look pretty. 
The little sign I have on my closet door my little gave to me and it says, "The best thing about having a sister is that you always have a friend." Isn't that so cute!


This is my closet and it is busting at the seams I don't think I have room for anymore items. I color coordinate hangers to me it looks better then mixing hangers so for example all of my tank tops are on gray hangers. Down below I also have my extra shoes that cannot fit into the thing behind my door. I also keep my laundry basket in there. The baskets up on the top shelf have things like sports bras and socks in them.


This is my jean drawer. I keep my jeans in a drawer because they take up so much room when you hang them up and I also do not have room for them anyways.


This is my jammie drawer. I keep shorts I sleep in and pajama tops in here. I also have sweatpants and yoga pants in here. It's all my comfy clothes!


The bottom drawer I have scarves in. I used to have them on a hanger in my closet but it was too bulky and this also makes it easier to rummage through scarves when tying to find one.


This is an overview of my two dressers. I get ready here in the morning so I have a black stool there and all my daily makeup stuff out.


I have my big statement necklaces hung up because I think they look pretty and I like to see them. The rest of my jewelry I have in a thing that is hung up in my closet with little pockets.


A closer look.




I thought that the perfumes just looked to pretty in this not to have it out and alongside my most worn and favorite jewelry pieces. I have my Fossil watch, Pandora Charm Bracelet, pearl earrings, and my Chi Omega pin. They are in what I think is a candle holder but it is still super cute.


This is an overview at the end of my bed where I have all my bags hung up. It is not my favorite but I had no where else to put them.


Finally this is my bed. I have two cute little decorative pillows that my friends made me and then a string of lights with pictures which I think is cute. I also love my curtains! One thing that is great is that I can open my blinds and I still get sunlight in because they are sheer like but, from outside no one can see in and it just looks black. 

That is the end of my dorm tour and I hoped that you liked it. I am always looking for decorative ideas so if you have any posts relating to home decor link them down below because I would love to see!

Thank you so much for reading and taking a look!

Bloggers Block

Hi Everyone!


I have not made a blog post in almost a week! That is crazy and I do not like it one bit. This last week hasn't been crazy busy either so I do not know what is wrong. I think it has to do with that I am having trouble coming up with post ideas for Makeup Monday, My Life Wednesday, and Fashion Friday. So that is the problem I am addressing in this post. Down below in the comments I would love for you to leave suggestions on what you would like me to do. It can be anything and everything! With that I promise there will be a new post up tomorrow. I am not sure what it will be yet but I will be sure to figure it out. I am thinking for Friday I want to do something like fashion on a budget but let me know down below what you think and also leave suggestions. I would appreciate it so much if you did!

Invincible Summer Book Review (2014 Blogger Challenge ~ Topic 3)

Hi Everyone!

So again I have missed another post, but what is new really, right? This is my make-up Makeup Monday for the second week in a row. School has been crazy busy and I have just not had the time to sit and write a quality post. Today, though, I am doing the Third Topic for the 2014 Blogger Challenge. So I guess it is really not a makeup related post but it needs to go up by tomorrow so I am doing it today!

Let’s Get Started!

The third topic is supposed to be about a book. Now I could easily do a review on Harry Potter or the Hunger Games and tell you how amazing it is and how much I love it but I thought instead I would do something else. I chose for my book to review to do it on Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz.


This is what is written on the back of the book:
Noah’s happier than I've seen him in months. So I’d be an awful brother to get in the way of that. It’s not like I have some relationship with Melinda. It was just a kiss. Am I going to ruin Noah’s happiness because of a kiss?


It is definitely a young adult book. It centers on a high school boy, Chase, and his summers at his beach home.  Because the perspective is from a guy I found so interesting because most love stories are from the perspective of the girl or third person, at least that I have read. The focus may be on him but it is also on his older brother, his younger sister and brother, and the family next door. It is a love story as I have said but it is very twisted and always keep you guessing on what is going on. This is because Chase is in love with his older brother, Noah’s, “girlfriend,” Melinda. 

It is a quick and easy read so great for the summer, car rides, or just leisurely reading. 

I highly recommend checking it out because I loved this book! You follow the journey of Chase's summers at the beach and all of what he manages to get into and what happens to his family. 

Thank you so much for reading and taking a look!
