Calling All Hallows

I have grown up surrounded by women who know how to make a home beautiful and festive. My grandmother, mom, and now sister all have their own way of making their homes beautiful, seasonal, and inviting. To me it's a huge part of what defines being a grown up Southern woman.

So even though I'm not in the South and I'm not in a house, I wasn't going to let Halloween slip by. (It also helped that my mom sent me a care package of decorations.)

Halloween's not 'till Thursday!! It's not too late to throw something spooky up in your house!!!

Moving On Up

A week ago I moved into my new dorm. While it's only a few blocks from my old one, it's definitely an update- I have my own room! We moved everything in in one day, that's including putting things on walls, hooking up electronics, everything. I thought Evan was gonna kill me, but we got it done.

Let me preface by saying, I am a nester and nesters come with a lot of stuff. But to me it's more than just stuff. I thrive best when I have a place to come home to that I enjoy and that inspires me. For me, that means things looking beautiful and being in their place. I love the way staging small things like picture frames, perfume bottles, and candles (don't tell my RA), can automatically make a space feel homey.

Function and fun is the name of the game folks.
