Home is where the heart is.

So I know I haven't posted a blog post in forever (sorry), but I'm back now! I'm new to this whole blogging thing and I've realized that you've really got to get into a routine. So without further ado...

Today's post is about student housing (cue horror music). I'm going into my second year of University and have made the decision to live off campus. First year I did the whole residence thang, which was great because I met most, if not all, of my closest University friends through my residence. But this coming year, myself and 5, yes 5, of my girlfriends have decided to rent a student house together. If that's not scary, I don't know what is! I could go into horror stories about some of the houses we looked at, and even the house we settled on, but my main focus for today is about my actual bedroom.

I'm a sucker for interior decorating. I absolutely adore it!! And I'm especially proud of the transition my bedroom has made over the time I've been in possession of it, and so I thought I'd share. :)

This is the room after the old tenants had moved out. Tres boring. I was in the process of getting ready to paint this sucker!:


And now here is the (partly) finished project. I still have some minor things to touch up, but for the most part this it what it'll look like!

My closet and dresser are in the area at the foot of my bed!

Since it's a basement room, I wanted a colour that was light a fun. My inspiration for this room is Audrey Hepburn (who else?, lol) so I decided to paint the room the colour of a Tiffany box (Breakfast at Tiffany's anyone ;), and then added some fun details like the zebra print sheets. I hope you like it!

What's yours is mine.

It was Sunday when I determined that I had "Absolutely no clothes to wear for the coming week!" Desperate, I decided to raid my mother's closet of forgotten clothes....and, to my delight, I found some amazing pieces! P.S. I am not a fashion expert... by any means. lol.


The shoes and the accessories (except for the belt) were already mine, but everything else belonged to my mother!


This shirt is one of my favourites. Very soft and feminine. This past year I lived in skinny jeans, converse, and graphic tees (that's first year uni for ya), so i'm excited to explore more fashions over the summer. The necklace is from Forever 21 and the pearl bracelet is from H&M.


I love this outfit also! I actually wore it to work on monday. It's a classic and simple outfit that I see out and about quite a bit. A plain high-waisted skirt paired with a more detailed, ruffled or embroidered, blouse or shirt. I added the "encrusted" heart-shaped necklace to soften the look, as it can come across as a bit harsh due to the black and white contrast. The necklace is from Forever 21 and the bag is from H&M.


I was very excited when I saw this dress. It needs taking in, but is it not a perfect Audrey Hepburn-esque dress!? It's structured, falls just above the knees, and it's the colour of a Tiffany's box! Breakfast At Tiffany's anyone? Would it be weird to take the dress in to a paint place to get it colour-matched? Haha. I want to paint my room for next year this colour! Hmmmm...anyways, I paired it with a geometric necklace that I got from H&M.


Last but not least, I pulled this A-line floral dress. This dress also fits a little bit so it'll need taking in. Floral is still in, right? I sure hope so because this is one busy dress. Haha. I love it! I paired it with a simple rose-shaped necklace just to tie together the whole flowery theme.

Vintage stuff is awesome. Free vintage? Even better. :)

Timeless.


One of my greatest influences.

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others... for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness... and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone..." - Audrey Hepburn
