I am a huge rose gold buff, so that was the inspiration behind this set for an office decor post. Neutral colors, such as whites and cremes, with pops of pink, rose gold, even green and a light blue, is a great color scheme for an office space. 

I was up at my apartment for the weekend, it is 2 hours away from my parent's home, and we did a decent amount of cleaning up and un-packing a few boxes. We are getting some of our furniture on Tuesday, which I will be working, but I am super excited to have some of it there when I am up again in a couple of weeks. 

Sorry for the lack of posts since I got home from Ireland. I've been working overtime the past week, and will be continuing that for the next three weeks. 

Hope you have a great week!!

As I announced earlier this week, I am starting a 'Home Inspiration' series, in preparation for decorating my apartment that I will be moving into this summer.  I am very excited. Today's inspirational post, is for my office/closet space. I already know that I will be painting the furniture that I have white (bookcase, dresser), as well as the desk that my parents might give me I will be painting white as well. I have a lavender rug that I will have on the floor (although that Poppy one above is gorgeous), and I have one of the 6 cube storage units from Target that I will definitely be getting a second one of for both sides of my desk, for my planner supplies, art supplies, jewelry, shoes, all that good stuff. I have a couple of gorgeous prints and canvases I got for my birthday last year and Christmas that I will be putting in there as well, probably setting them on top of the Target shelves. And of course, my desk wouldn't be complete without super cute office supplies. Once it is set up, I will be sure to give a tour. I want to be able to film planner videos in a couple months once I get my DSLR camera and a tripod. So keep an eye out for that coming by the end of summer.

I'm so excited to announce that I am going to be starting a "Home" series of inspirational posts from Polyvore. My boyfriend and I are moving in together starting in May (right when I get back from Ireland we will have the apartment -eeeep!!) and I am super excited to be able to get creative in our space. I'll still be living at home for this summer, due to working full time near my hometown, but I will cleaning out my room and gradually taking things to our apartment. It is exciting and scary to be moving out from my childhood home, but I am looking forward to it! This will be the source of lots of DIY's this summer, budgeting/finance posts, "home" inspiration and vision boards, and I am really excited. 

My boyfriend has given me permission to decorate how I like, and I can't wait. We will have two bedrooms, and we have agreed that I can have the second smaller one as an office space/closet (YES!).  Then the typical living room, dining area, kitchen and bathroom, pretty standard. 

We will be doing LOTS of DIY-ing, his sister is giving us a dining room table that I am going to be painting and also tons of kitchen supplies, his dad is giving us the leather couch that was in his old apartment, my parents might be giving me the desk from in the dining room. So I have a general idea of what I want the space to look like. Outside of my office area, the whole apartment will be fairly neutral in colors and style. I am going to enjoy being able to decorate but I also don't want it to be "too girly" for him. My office on the other hand ;) will be pinks and golds and light colors. 

So, we will be getting (& he agreed to) a white comforter on our bed. And I'll be buying, or making, some bright pillows to put on it. I have a lavender rug that I will be putting in my office, but I'm thinking a more neutral one with a pattern, like the grey one above for in the living room. 

I'm super excited for this series and I hope you are too! 

XOXO,

Dorm Sweet Dorm: Decor Inspiration

Dorm Room by hellosimpleme featuring a storage bed

Hey guys! Haven't been on here for a few days :(  I was going to post something yesterday and took pictures for it and everything but then, my phone fell in water and is now like... idk its alive but the screen isnt working so I didnt get to upload the pictures. I went to a CVS yesterday and bought some products from Rimmel London to try because I have a eyeshadow trio that i LOVE, so I wanted to try some of the other products(I bought a foundation, powder, gel eyeliner, and mascara). I'll try them for a few days then use my webcam to take pictures if my phone doesnt revive itself. -.-

As you can see from this polyvore post, its Dorm inspired! I move in next saturday the 31st and my last day of work is the 26th (only 2 more days!), and as you can see by all the school related posts and polyvore images that I am one EXCITED girl for college.

I have a few back to school posts in mind and I am hoping to get them up while I am at Univ. and the next few days as I get my stuff together but truthfully I have no idea if that will happen for sure since its pretty chaotic right now. & Plus we have a whole 'welcome week' schedule once I am at Univ. so we are doing stuff constantly; so the only time I would be able to put up a post is late at night for the first couple days till welcome week is over. I'm hoping once I have a few days of classes and getting used to everything I will be able to come up with a weekly schedule that would be made up of a couple regular postings even though there wont be as many as there have been during this summer. I am sure you-all understand.

Any tips for this college freshman to be?

XOXO
