Mid-Week Motivation

Desk Design

I'm now in school mode, so I've got another post coming your way about all of the ways that I would like to organize my desk this year! 

I've always loved adding special details to my own desks whether it be through bookends, pencil holders, bulletin boards, or adding souvenirs from trips. It's really all in the details! 

I love all the details here, the coaster, pencil holder and colors! 

 Confession... I have an obsession with Post It Notes too!! 

Love the layering on this desk... flowers, candles, books and I think I see some Post Its! 

Love the light feel of this... silver clock, pop of flowers!

What is your favorite desk accessory?

Back To School Shopping... Dorm Room

School is right around the corner and you know what that means... time for back to school shopping! 

Here are some dorm room essentials, accents and fun accessories that will make every school year start on a great note. 

{1} I would highly recommend getting a mini white board for your dorm room door, its great for leaving notes for others and for them to leave them for you! 

{2} Find a set of pens and pencils that have style, work with your dorm room scheme and make you feel inspired to get through all of the work. I love these iomoi ones!

{3} This year I might add one of these little guys to my room to make it feel more homey. These terrariums require little to no attention and are adorable! 

{4} There are about a million different shower caddys out there but I would highly recommend this version. The smaller clear piece overlaps into the larger one for day and night use. 

{5} Get a cute travel mug its eco-friendly and will come in handy for those coffee and tea runs at the cafeteria! 

{6} Add a little personality to your desk with one of these Design Darling monogramed lucite pencil cups... monogram in hot pink of course! 

{7} I learned this early on... leave your door open as much as you can, people will stop by and you will get to introduce yourself to all of your neighbors early on! I think if I had this shoe door stop I might leave my door open all the time. Hehe. 

{8} I decided not to bring a DVD player along to college so instead I play my movies from my computer and connect them with the cord into the tv.

{9} With co-ed floors I always felt more comfortable walking around in a robe as opposed to just a towel. Get a cute robe, monogramed of course to have for the walk to the bathroom. 

{10} Organization during the school year is key and I find that the way to keep everything straight is with a planner. I love the patterns and colors of these Lilly Pulitzer ones!

{11} I love this blanket so much, I use it as my coverlet at school. It is soft and warm and after finding it I inspired my room after Jack Wills pink and navy blue. 

{12} Adding pops of colors and pattern with these great pillows makes your room even more fun and inviting. 

{13} Add this bolster pillow to tie everything together! 

And the back to school shopping begins... Enjoy! xox

Weekend Wishes

Thank goodness its Saturday! The first week of August went by so fast... that means school is going to be right around the corner. It's time to savor the moments, so I am spending today with the family by the pool and then babysitting for a couple of hours later and after that going to midnight bowling with some friends.

Hope your weekend is filled with relaxing in the sun!! Enjoy! xox

Arm Candy... Creating the Perfect Stack

Creating the perfect stack, for me, has been a bit of a challenge! My gold stack is fairly complete, however, my silver one needs a lot of work to say the least. How do you find pieces to build to your stack? 

Combining silver and gold pieces... might have to try this! 

Love the leather mixed with the gold.

Diamonds and gold... elegance to the max! 

What about a more casual mix? Here is a fabulous one! 

Monograms

I don't know about you but I've always been a fan of monogramed things... monograms make everything look timeless and sophisticated!! Here are some of my favorite monograms.

Love the Tiffany & Co. Tote, and the animal hide coozy! 

Perfect for a rainy day!

A place to really call your own.

How fabulous is this?!

What are you go to monogram pieces?

Blue and White Interior

I came across this photo a couple of weeks ago and immediately stashed it away in my "Pics I LOVE" folder. When I say love, I mean it for this photo... every blue and white inspired piece is picked to perfection. It is amazing to think that this room is mainly composed of blue and white but what takes this space over the top is the patterns and textures that the blue and white pieces are in. Ever fabric has a different pattern, the walls, the floors, the drapes and the ceiling. There isn't a single element in this space that hasn't been thought about! 

What is your favorite part of this room? 

Enjoy! xox
