We're Baaaaacccck!

Chic ones, we took a sweet hiatus from blogging to enjoy the summer sun, but we couldn't stay away for too long. Especially when we saw this yellow and gray color scheme on Apartment Therapy. This is some nice dorm room decor inspiration, right? Don't worry, we'll be back to our regular blogging routine for most of the summer!

 

The Lemon Dress

Classic

Sipping on Cocktails

Doesn't this outfit look like it deserves to be worn at a cocktail party on a rooftop bar? We love the one shoulder style dress and all you need is a great pair of gold heels (these are from BHLDN) and some Stella & Dot dangling earrings. 

DIY Bulletin Board Ideas

Bulletin boards are a necessity to warm up your dorm room walls, but some companies (cough, Pottery Barn, cough) charge an arm and a leg for them. We think of bulletin boards as a great DIY project. Don't be afraid to try and make some of the things you see below. Most of the supplies are very cheap, so you won't be in too deep if you mess up a certain portion of the project.

Whatever Your Board is, You Need Some of These "Busy Bee" Push Pins!

Chic Deac Dorm Room

Filigree Leaf Sheets from Anthro will give your dorm room that bright and cheery feeling you need to warm up the space, which will feel like a blank canvas when you first walk in.

PB Teen Customized Makeup Organizer will be a cute way to keep all of your makeup and toiletries organized, which prevents it from looking like an assortment of junk when that cute boy in your bio class comes over to study. 

This monogrammed bulletin board will fit right in at Wake Forest. The Pottery Barn one shown below is on sale for $74, but remember that bulletin boards and memo boards are also a very easy DIY project. Stay tuned for a post in the very near future!

Meringue Dress

Perfectly summery and retro, Anthropologie's Meyer Meringue dress feels like a throwback well worth wearing today. Plus, it has pockets. We love how the Anthro stylist paired it with some royal blue sandals - the color combo is eye popping. However, don't try that combo the week we play Duke. 

French Summer Stripes

It's really starting to warm up out there, so we found a cool and casual look for you to rock this summer. We were in the mood for stripes because we'd like to be cooling off in the South of France, but we're sitting in America. Sigh. Anyways, we hope this dress makes your summer day feel cooler. The entire look is just about $50!
