After almost two years in the same work area, I’m finally getting around to personalizing my desk space. Fantastically priced Instagram prints from aptly named Prinstagram, sleek acrylic desk accessories from Design Darling, and other miscellaneous cutouts and prints posted to a bulletin board have cheered this place up in no time. My style is traditionally more vintage and rustic than the modern you’ll see here, but it’s a nice change with clean lines that keeps me focussed at work.
I do love my apartment, though lately it’s just felt like it could use a few more homey touches. As usual, Anthropologie’s home section has got my heart going thumpity-thump as I dream about warm sitting room with a fireplace and charming pieces like these…

Being the Olympics and all, I should probably be putting together some pretty USA-filled patriotic looks, but I just can’t resist giving into my love of all things British with the games taking place in London this year. Jack Wills, my favorite British brand, isn’t shy about showing off some pride for the UK in their Brit Shop. Some of my current favorites… many of which are currently on sale!

My little sister and I have always dreamed about what our bachelorette pad would look like if we ever had the chance to move in together. Since I’ve been crazy busy with work + life (and meeting fabulous Boston Bloggers!) this week, she’s here to show you what our dream apartment would look like…

Happy November! I can’t believe that November 1st means that I have officially been a resident of my “new” neighborhood– and bedroom– for two months now. I figure that means it’s about time for a couple photos of the room like I promised!
I got my inspiration from Carrie’s apartment, when she has it redone in the Sex and the City movies…
My version, though surely full of differences, came out better than I ever could have hoped!
A little preppy, a little boho, and with a hint of sparkle– I feel right at home here 🙂 The frames are full of a mix of vintage postcards, little sayings, and some of mine and my friend Samantha‘s photography.
And just because it’s not a Carrie [or Emily, for that matter] lair without the clothes…
I think I’ll stay awhile.
Tonight is my last night in my beloved college apartment. Â Over the course of two years, we’ve had nine different people call it home, but I was here the full time- no sublettin’ for me! Tomorrow though, it gets packed up and I am out. But since I’m big on reminiscing, here are some of my favorite parts of this place:
And finally the girls who shared this home (well, most of them):
May 2009: Right after we signed the lease!
May 2011: Morning of our college graduation
