Easy and Inexpensive Dorm Room Decor!

Hey ya'll! Welcome back! Today I wanted to show you all how I have decorated my dorm room! A few disclaimers, my dorm room is small, and definitely not the most decorated! I just added a few touches to make it feel a bit more homey! I hope you all enjoy and maybe get some inspiration as well!
First things first, the theme of my room was obviously pink.... hello! I'm pinky and the prep! But I figured I should add another color so it is not a pink overload! I picked grey and pink! Since the biggest "decoration" in a room is the bedding I started with a pink comforter from Macy's. I added some gray and white chevron pillows and a throw blanket to seal the the deal! I also added some pink "garlandish" decoration to the top of my bed to add some fun! I found this garland at Target for only $1!  I also bought this super comfortable circle chair at Target.  It is amazing for lounging around and working on homework!

The next area I had to tackle was my closet.  At my dorm, our closets look like holes in the wall! I knew I had to cover that up, and a shower curtain fit perfectly! I went with a gray damask print to add some dimension to the room! I bought the curtain off of amazon for only $15.  On my side of the closet I also hung up my initials.  I got these gold metals letters from Michael's for around $8 a piece! 

If you read my "life update/ Instagram round up" you might of already seen a sneak peak into what my desk looks like. To maximize my  storage I just added some pink and blue desk organizers from the dollar section at target! I bought two of the double drawer sets to store my makeup, and two of the upright paper organizers for pallets, pencils, and my brushes!! I also added this super cute 2016 frame from Francesca's that I found on clearance!  

Before moving into college, I watched a lot of "dorm room tours" on YouTube.  Something almost all the videos had in common was Christmas lights! I found mine at Walmart for $3! They fit perfectly over my window.  I also used clothes pins to pin pictures from the lights. I love the way it turned out! And I am reminded of some great memories and friends every time I look up at the pictures! 

The final "decor" in my dorm room is my wannabe gallery wall! I just added some artwork my friends made for me, a sign from Francesca, and a dry erase calendar from the target dollar section! 

I hope you all enjoyed taking a look into my dorm room. Even though it is not extravagant, and not everything matches, Its home for the next 8ish months!! Thank you all for joining me!

Until Next Time

Life Update/ Instagram Round Up!

Hey ya'll! I feel like this past week has been the longest week ever! Some of you may not know but I recently moved to Kansas to attend University.  I have officially been  moved in 2 for weeks  and I feel like I am settling in well. College life is definitely different than life back at home, but I have made a lot of great friends and am loving this college town! Even though my room is small and not as elaborately decorated as some dorm rooms, I thought I would show you all a sneak peak at my desk and how I organize it. I am planning on doing a whole post about inexpensive and easy ways to make your dorm room more spacious and feel more like home!

All my drawers and upright organizers I found at Target in the dollar isle! My makeup brush holders are also from Target in the same isle.  My makeup mirror is from Walmart, and my beloved lamp is from amazon.  I also have to give a huge shout out to my Lilly Pulitzer agenda. There are so many more things to balance in college besides classes, and my planner is the number one reason I have been able to stay on top of everything! 

My agenda is the Lilly Pulitzer 2016-2017 Tusks in the Sun Jumbo sized planner, you can purchase it here. 

Since this is kind of a two in one blog post I also wanted to give you all an update on whats been going on my Instagram! You can follow me here! My two recent pictures have been some sneak peaks at a fall look book coming very soon!  I am also collaborating with some awesome bloggers along the way! Check out my Instagram to see who I collabed with this week!

Now it just has to cool down a little bit in Kansas so I can start wearing some cute fall clothes! Who's with me?

Thank you all for joining me in this more informal blog post!  I hope everyone has a great beginning of fall, whether you are headed back to school or work!  

Until Next Time
