This Week I

This week I:

Went to the museum and organized crayons 

saw a bunch of animals in storage

(I really like this one because it looks like I am standing on a wall)

got my first pumpkin muffin of the year

built a blanket fort with Travis

went to the Indie Craft Fair in Greenville with some friends

 bought these pretty things from some talented artists

 the shirt is from Dapper Ink, the prints from Marisol Spoon, the brooch from Neogranny. I forgot to get a card from the place that had the ring!

 hung out with Kit

did some errands

and had a beautiful drive back to school.

What did you do?

Weekends are the best. I feel like that's the only time I really even take pictures of anything, and maybe I should try to document weekday life more. But here are a few photos from my last two weekends.

Packing is relaxin.

Cuddlin.

Getting junk food at the drive through.

Buying groceries.

Drawing on ourselves with permanent marker.

I feel like I should explain that this was my attempt at an ottoman-turkish islamic decoration thing, since Travis is really into that. It's not supposed to look like a swastica!

Meeting kitties!

I basically live for the weekends these days, and I usually spend them lazing. This weekend though, I got to meet up with the lovely ladies behind Be Like the Fox and We Live Upstairs, as well as get some much needed shopping (therapy) done. I hope you all have the day off! I still have school on labor day.

Apartment Tour: My Room

The only thing I did the first day I got to school was decorate. I'm a big believer in making your environment a positive place, because it really affects (my) entire day. So here's a little tour of my tiny, pattern-heavy room!

I'm in the same room as last year, and they recarpeted over the summer. My room was rearranged when I came in, and it was probably a more logical setup. But I was all "I can't handle change!!" and moved it back with the help of my roomate.

I don't get a ton of natural light in here, so I opted for the twinkly kind instead! Which more than makes up for it, imo. I also finally figured out how to do a bokeh effect! #abouttime

Apartment Tour: Living Room

This year I'm living in the same apartment/dorm I did last year. It's like an apartment in that I have my own room, and I share the common area with 3 other girls, and like a dorm in that no one room is co-ed, there's no kitchen, I have to share a bathroom, and that we have to check in our guests. So let's be real, it's a dorm.

This year, though, I'm living with 3 of my best friends instead of one friend and 2 strangers, which makes it a lot more fun. They basically let me decorate the living room any way I wanted, and I really like how homey it is after only a couple items. So here's a quick look around that also involves me climbing on my furniture.

The furniture came with the room, which is why I didn't photograph the particularly ugly one-seat sofa. We also have an empty entertainment center that looks perfect for puppet shows.

I included some shots of my outfit and nails duh.

Shirt, Hat: Thrifted

Skirt: American Eagle

Shoes and Socks: Asos

Necklace: Forever 21

Ring: CreatureType <3

Earrings and Bracelets: Mostly handmade by Me

I'll photograph my room, soon, too. Did any of you guys decorate your dorms this year?

Late

Working on some art at my desk.

My pretty art wall before I dismantled it and packed it away!

Kit being a cutie...

...and a not-so-cutie.

Sweet glitter dust I found in my Grandma's attic.

Posing in the driveway.

Dramatic sky.

Super-sweet nails.

Also, if any of you guys need some student grade oil paints (or know someone who does) let me know, I've got a ton of barely-used supplies.

What have you guys been up to this week?
