It’s August, which means it’s almost back to school time! It’s really weird, because this is the first time since kindergarten that I won’t be going back to school. Even though I’m happy I graduated college this May and I am loving post grad life, there is one thing that I’ll miss about going back to school: school supply shopping! I LOVE school supply shopping. In fact, one of my favorite parts about going back to school for the past four years was picking out items to decorate my dorm room. Today, I’ve partnered up with Kleenex and Walmart to put together my ‘Must Have’ dorm room essentials list.

1. Notebooks: What better way to stay organized this upcoming semester than with these adorable Rifle Paper Co. notebooks?
2. Hanging Mirror: Studies show that when you look your best and thus feel your best, you do your best (say that three times fast!)
3. Pillow: It’s important for your dorm room to be comfy and cozy and feel as close to home as possible.
4. Laundry Bag: Those long walks to the laundry room (unless you’re lucky enough to have a washing machine in your dorm/apartment) can be a pain, but this cute bag makes the trip worth it.
5. Kleenex Expression Oval Tissue with Chevron Designs: These adorable chevron designs, which are a limited Back to School edition at Walmart, will blend perfectly into any dorm theme and color scheme. Just look at how cute they are:

6. Lamp: Some older dorms have little or poor lighting so it’s important to utilize as much light as possible. 
7. Keurig: You’re going to need a lot of coffee for those late night cram sessions!
8. Printer: I can say from personal experience that having a printer in your room is a big must! You never know when you’re going to need to reprint a paper for an 8am class and who wants to run to a computer lab that early in the morning?
9. Fujifilm Instax Mini 8: They say the memories you make in college last a lifetime and with an instant camera, you’ll have the photos to prove it. Plus the Fujifilm makes an adorable dorm room accessory. 
10. Macbook: Like a printer, it’s just convenient to have a personal computer while you’re at college.
What are your dorm must haves?

MUST HAVE: Makeup Bags Edition

February 13, 2014

Introducing the new illustrated-celeb makeup pouches from Nylon! Can we talk about how amazing these all are? I’ve been looking for a new makeup bag for about a month now and I think I’ve found it! These adorable pouches come in 7 designs, each featuring an iconic face:

1. Dolly Parton     2. David Bowie   3. Bill Murray   4. Mick Jagger
        5. Karl Lagerfeld  6. Anna Wintour 7. Tupac
I’m torn on which one to get! On one hand, I’m a HUGE Wes Anderson fan so I’d love the Bill Murray pouch that features his Steve Zissou character. Bill Murray is also from Chicago so any chance to rep a fellow Chicagoan is a huge plus. I also really LOVE the Anna Wintour pouch! Who doesn’t love Anna Wintour? She is truly one of my idols!
Which makeup bag is YOUR favorite?

Must Have – Valentine’s Day Edition

February 11, 2014

It’s been a while since I’ve done a “Must Have” post so I thought what better time to restart this series since Valentine’s Day is coming up? My favorite “gift” to receive (for any holiday) is always a well thought out card. Whether they be homemade or store bought, I’ve always loved getting cards. It’s always fun to read what the person has written inside them. In fact, I’ve saved every card I’ve received for the past 6 years. It’s always fun to go back and reread what someone wrote to you years ago. You get to relive the inside jokes, the heartwarming messages and the joy. Rifle Paper Co. is definitely my favorite place to buy and receive cards from. Their deigns are adorable and the level of craftsmanship put into each card is breathtaking. 
Which Rifle Paper Co. card is your favorite?

Current Obsession: FRENDS Headphones

January 8, 2014

Move over Beats, there’s a new headphone trend in town! Frends headphones are so GORGEOUS and I love that they’re designed with women in mind. I am OBSESSED with these adorably hip headphones. I’ve never been a person who liked to have what everyone else has, I like to be different or ahead of the trend. I cannot tell you how TIRED I am of seeing everyone wearing Beats! I knew I had to switch it up with my designer headphones. My sister, being the BEST SISTER IN THE WORLD, got me the Frends Layla rose gold Headphones for Christmas! She saw them in Nordstorm one day and thought they were very ‘me.’ I was SO EXCITED! They match perfectly with my new gold iPhone 5s (which was another one of my favorite Christmas gifts.)

My Frends headphones recently shipped (they were sort of a late Christmas present) and should be here on Monday! I can’t wait until they arrive so I can listen to my tunes in style.

You can buy them here: Layla Gold Headphones, $149*Disclaimer: these images do not belong to me. All photos can be found here*
