Earthy Fairy Tail Goodness

Thinking ahead to this Fall makes me so excited about getting my house together and moving in. I love my roommate Sarah, and I think her and I are going to get a long great. My design vibe for my room is going to be earthy modern. Think enchanted forest fairytale.

My inspiration board.

So far I have bought the pillow shams, comforter, and sheets from this...

and

Some brown and green throw pillows. The brown ones are felt bolsters with big scallops all over them and they look kind of like cartoon logs!

I already have a green sisel rug.

and I am DYING to a get an old school record player and rob my mother of her killer music collection.

but I want to get...

A DIY pink chair

This to die for mirror

Heavy chocolate brown curtains

Thats all I have done for my room now...more about that later. Lets end with a quote.

Have a lovely day,
Erin

Jet-Setting and House Projects...

This will be my travel outfit for my flight to Palm Springs in a few weeks. My beautiful cousin Katie is getting married. I will be singing in this wedding which scares me to no end. 

I happen to LOVE people watching in airports and I always love meeting a friendly stranger sitting next to me in-flight. One time I met the man who invented glow in the dark fish.

I would just die to hop back into the 60's and be a fabulous retro flight attendant.

The Rapping Flight Attendant 

 I love this video. My family always flies Southwest and that is fine by me because I have never had anything but easy security, super friendly service, and sometimes if im lucky a fun flight with a song or rap during the "In case of emergency" speech.

But before I head out to California I want to knock out a few DIY home projects for my house next year at Alabama. 

From this...

TO THIS!

And

This cool mirror for my future super earthy bedroom(more about that later) but I want to spray paint mine a cool color after. Hopefully you will still be able to see the great texture of the twigs and wood.

In my efforts to start going green I have been planning my garden I will be growing at my house next year. Considering I have gone from living in a dorm room to a sorority house in the past few years im really excited to have my first house. The time has come. So I will be posting a lot about my plans for decor and such. I have very little planting experience aside from some herbs. I want to plant Dill, Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme, Mint, tomatoes, potatoes, and lettuce. Let me know if you have any tips!

Look at this!

I love this special story from a very cool designer, Miss CK Bradley.
She designs some beautiful Lilly Pulitzer-like tunics but with a twist. Anything to do with the Lauren family i am obsessed with. I am sucker for all things Ralph Lauren. This is a photo from one of her catalogs.

Fun, right?




Whew, that was a novel of a post.

Always,

Erin

The End of an Era...

So Its our last few weeks of life in room 18 in sorority land and because we are all packing up and moving out, I had to change the name of my blog, this is one of many sad changes going on right now. My dear roommates (yes, you are a roommate too Sarah) will be graduating and leaving me to fend for myself here in Tuscaloosa. It has been a wonderful year with you three crazy hott messes, and I couldnt have asked for better girls to get stuck with in this hell hole of a room. Yall have seen me through a lot of boy problems, grumpy days, and exciting news stories and I appreciate yalls advice and putting up with me more than you know. I know I have been messy(both in personality and in our physical room) but I will miss yall very much and cant believe our year is over. I have made the decision to blog more consistently so yall know what is going on here and we stay in touch. I truly hope you call me occasionally for Glee chats, popular girl stories, a good whining about your day (AT WORK EWW WEIRD), if you need me to tell you how your life is in shambles (Morgan), or if you need me to tell you that everything you have tried on looks great on you only to eventually put on work out pants and a tshirt (Alexandria) because those are all things I will miss a lot. Thank you for accepting me with open arms and always inviting me or letting me invite myself to many things. Yall are amazing girls and will do so great in the real world, good luck and i love yall! See you at our weddings someday?

Things I love...

This beautiful wedding setting.

The fact that im going to be back home in my sweet, sweet, Dallas next week.

This cute couple at Bonaroo last year.

Stay Messy, 

Erin
