so as cheesy as this sounds, we have officially entered THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR. yes, i’ve said it on here before, but i’ll say it again… i love december and celebrating christmas. i freak out just a little bit about it. kind of like kristen wiig in those “SURPRISE” skits she used to do on snl. i’ve been using the images in this post to serve me up some serious inspiration and have started decorating my apartment. pinecones, a log cabin gingerbread house, bottle thrush ornaments and fake snow line our window sill, while our tv stand is decked out with mason jars filled with holiday candy, a paper source christmas countdown, and my favorite nest holiday candles on rotation. if you want to get in the kitchen and cook up something delicious these cookies are perfect for you and so are these cinnamon rolls. don’t forget to bake while listen to a super special playlist, which for me includes a whole lot of james taylor, sufjan stevens, coldplay, and the shins.

i made it back home and i can’t even begin to describe how good it feels to be in my own bed. i’ve made it clear that i love my bed at school, but being home is just different. it might have something to do with the fact that i’m binge watching all my favorite tv shows while snuggled up with my favorite blanket and some tea, or it could be that i love being able to sleep late. like really late. i tried to bring the same approach to my room at school that i have here at home, so i figured i should show you guys my room a.k.a my muse. at this point i’m definitely a little bit obsessed with a few things: a ton of pillows, a super comfy throw, candles, piles upon piles of books, prints of all sorts, and elvis/johnny cash (those two are a given).

sophomore year is beginning next week and i couldn’t be more excited. new classes, new experiences and new moments with friends all await me, and starting sunday everything picks up again. i’m starting to pack (which has turned out to be absolutely hellish), and narrowing down clothes, jewelry, shoes and all of the above, hopefully learning from last year’s move in. for the next few days posts won’t be as frequent, but to tide you guys over i thought i’d share my dorm design scheme. i love the way everything came together, and it just so happens this is the one thing i have figured out!
