As most of you are well aware, I really enjoy bright colors, especially in decorating! (However, if you weren't aware, check out my colorful freshman and sophomore dorm room posts.) I also absolutely love white interior design!!! There's something so fresh and clean about all white, or at least primarily white, decor. When it comes to decorating, the icing on the cake for me is throwing in some gold metallic accents and colorful elements to keep the space bright and fun! When decorating smaller …

My Colorful Sophomore Dorm
I moved out of my sophomore dorm two and a half weeks ago and I already miss it! It's certainly nice to have my own room again, but I loved the way we decorated our dorm this year. My roommates and I added personal touches on pretty much every wall and I contributed a lot of color Lilly Pulitzer to the room. We all added our own style to the decor so we had a nice mixing pot of everyone's taste in the room as a whole. I absolutely loved having my bed lofted this year! Not only did I …
Sayonara Sophomore Year
One week ago, my roommates and I moved out of out sophomore dorm, Bellarmine Hall, which we had called home since mid-August. I have to say, sophomore year was certainly a mixed bag and I had some of the best experiences of my life as well as quite a few difficult experiences. Thanks to each and every one of these experiences, I've grown so much and I'm incredibly grateful for all of them as well as all of the absolutely fantastic people that have come into my life this year! As a sophomore, I …

Big Little Week
I posted earlier this week about my fabulous Little, Mollie! Now that reveal is over, I can finally share the fun crafts and gifts I gave her during Big/Little week! You have no idea how badly I wanted to post some of these crafts on Instagram right after I made them, but Mollie was already following me, so she'd have known immediately after getting her presents that I was her Big! Patience is a virtue. I'm so excited to finally share everything with all of you and show off a few of the crafts …

A few weeks ago, my sorority, Chi Omega, had Big/Little week and I finally got my Little who I've been anxiously waiting for all semester!!!
