Pinterest Addiction

Posted by Abby at 10:56 PM 3 comments

Hello lovelies!! Just wanted to make a quick post to talk about my newest, most time consuming obsession: Pinterest!! I know, everyone and their mother already has a Pinterest, but as per usual I am late to figure out what all the hype is about. I actually created mine a while ago and after an hour, was bored and left it with the rest of my random online profiles that I never visit. A few days ago, though, I logged in again and have spent the majority of my free time since then making new boards and pinning the hell out of everything. It's addicting!! If you have a Pinterest, I would love it if you followed me and I'm always looking for more people to follow as well!!

New Dorm Room!!!

Posted by Abby at 6:22 PM 6 comments

Hello everyone!! So after hours of unpacking, and even more hours of stressing, I have officially moved into my dorm!! I am pretty happy with how everything turned out. Unfortunately, the chair that I posted a picture of earlier didn't fit so I had to send it back with my parents. Everything else I brought up worked great, though! I'm not going to do a super in depth room tour at the moment since I'm still not sure I'm going to keep everything exactly as it is, but I figured I would share how my room looks for now.

So here you can see my bed, desk, and nightstand area. As I said in an earlier post, the bedding and pillow is from Urban Outfitters, and the throw at the end of the bed is from Pier One.

Above my bed I just hung up some photos of my friends and some of the people I have met in the past. I got both the string and the clothes pins from Michael's.

This is my nightstand area. I just have a couple of mugs, some lotions and deodorant, a cat lamp one of my best friends gave me, a (fake) plant from Pier One, and a Britta water filter from Target.

I took this picture while I was still moving in, so there was still a bunch of junk on it. I hung up a 4-piece bulletin board from Staples, but it's already fallen down twice so I'm not sure if I will keep it or not. And I also used a shoe shelf from Target as extra space on my desk.

Finally, we have my closet. I am so happy that all my clothes actually fit inside of it because I was worried I packed too much. And the two bins on top I'm just using for extra storage, and they were from Target as well.

. . . . .

So that is my side of the dorm. Obviously I have a roommate but I wasn't going to take pictures of her side because weird. I'm pretty happy with it so far, and hopefully I can sort through any of the small glitches I have with it.

Just Some Dorm Decor

Posted by Abby at 8:45 PM 3 comments

These past few days I have been crazy busy. Since I'm moving to college in less than a month now (what the what?!) I have been shopping for all sorts of dorm related items and have actually had insane luck. I've bought almost everything I needed to get, which is a huge weight off my chest. Even though I'm still pretty stressed and anxious about starting school (it's been hard for me to sleep and I've been getting hiccups a lot), it's nice to know that I have everything I need for a nice dorm room.

I would post pictures of everything but it's currently sitting in bags in a pile on the floor. Maybe once I'm moved in I will be able to post some photos of my (hopefully) well-put-together room. Until then, here are just a few of the cuter items I bought:

The pillow and the bedding are from Urban Outfitters, the chair is from Target, and the throw is from Pier One. All in all, I'm pretty excited about how everything is coming along so far. Shopping for dorm stuff has been overwhelming (there's soooo much to get!!) but it's also been a fun time. It's getting me more pumped for when school starts :)

Brandy Melville Obsession

Posted by Abby at 1:40 AM 11 comments

Recently, I have been spending an embarrassing amount of time scrolling through the Brandy Melville website. I absolutely adore all of their clothes and jewelry, and it's gotten to the point where I've practically memorized all of their inventory. I've gotten in the habit of adding about half of their store to my cart, and then never buying any of it because I'm a broke student. These are my Brandy Melville top picks. The pictures are links to the individual products. If you aren't broke, you should definitely look through their stuff!! It's all flawless, I promise.
