my college bedroom

hello there.
welp, this is my last night in this room </3. it has been a great semester in this pad, and i can't wait to return to it next year after my study abroad adventures. getting an off campus with my best friends was one of the greatest decisions (not that we had a choice...we were kinda kicked off campus housing lol). anyways, we were allowed to decorate and paint the house however we wanted, so here is what i did with my room. i'm sad that it was only my room for a short time, because i am completely in love with it. but ill be back. enjoy

this is my lovely bed where all the magic happens (aka me sleeping and going on netflix dates). the colorful blanket is actually a twin sized comforter from my bed freshman/sophmore year. i don't even have a twin bed anymore, but i love it too much to part with it. it is pretty much what i based my whole room around. 

i use my bookshelf for really important things. shoes. <3

this headboard was discovered by my mom at an antique store. it was an ugly white and gold color before, but with some black spray paint we were able to transform it into something gorgeous. 

this yellow chair was discovered buried up in the attic of my house. i painted it up with some acrylic paints to match my old bedding.

i have an obsession with buying things i don't need at hobby lobby to decorate my room. these candles are part of that.

this is a painting i did of my cousin, my sister, and i. underneath is a cork board i use to hang up all my necklaces.

hi jenna.

where the wild things are

this whole look was inspired by my new boyfriend (aka this shaggy jacket). you will probably see this coat in a bunch of future blog posts and i am apologizing now. it is definitely not a cheap jacket, but worth while for me. i worked a lot of extra shifts at my job, saved up enough and finally bought it after drooling over it for months. i will be sleeping in this coat, bathing with this coat, and taking it out on dates to the movies and taco bell. you'll see more of him soon.

one of our favorite spots to hang out when we come home is our room, and even though it is rarely clean like it is in these pictures, we love it.  we love piling onto our beds with our two younger sisters listening to music or looking at old pictures. we love burning the sweet smelling candles and turning on our string lights to give our room a warm glow.  we love the throw pillows and afghans that we made ourselves, and the flower mandalas that took hours to attach to the sandy walls we spent a weekend painting.  we love our ruffled white comforters and the way they never quite look perfect, and we love the mismatched prints scattered everywhere.

its taken us a few years to get our room the way it is now since most of our time is spent away at school, and after collecting things from different stores (and countries), we think it came out pretty rad. we are still looking for a few more things to really finish it up, but for now, our cozy little room is just the way we like it.

fall playlist

greetings. today i bring to you my perfect fall playlist. i imagine driving down a tree lined road, listening to all of these songs and jamming out for hours - and i would actually do this if i had a car... but fear not, i'll leave my playlist down below so you can do this. it starts off a little in the folk genre, and then goes into lots of songs that i do not even know what genre to put in.... i'm bad at that stuff, i just listen to song and if i like, i'll download it. i don't have one type of music that i like. but regardless, these songs are all awesome and i can't stop listening to them! i hope you enjoy them.

the boyfriend jean (?)

    

yes, I'm wearing pants. once in a blue moon, i'll stray away from my skirts and dresses.. today was one of those days. i recently purchased these new jeans and wanted to take them for a test drive. now, i wouldn't necessarily consider these 'boyfriend jeans', because judging by what my boyfriend wears, they are wearing tighter clothes than me. however, these were on super super sale at urban outfitters so it was basically illegal to not buy them. i was worried about them making my booty look all saggy - and i was right...they really do. but if you style these jeans the right way, you can make them very flattering. i have to say, i'm now a big fan of the baggy jean and will definitely be looking to purchase some more.

hello friends! we are two sisters from new jersey who have a small obsession with fashion and the sea. check out our 'about me' section to learn more about us. this is the first post for our new blog and we couldn't be more stoked! since we are just starting, we are still fooling around with styles and layouts and the like, so bear with us for the time being. 

after a string of humid, rainy, 80 degree days, today finally started to feel like autumn. the air is crisp and cool and the leaves are in peak foliage. we are both home from school for fall break and figured it was the perfect time to finally start this blog that we have been talking about for months (maybe even years?). we spent the entire weekend relaxing with family, eating homemade food, and, of course, shopping.

below are some pictures of the outfits we wore out to lunch with our dad. our tree filled backyard was the perfect location for our little photo shoot.
