Countdown To College


I hate to even say the words "Back to School" yet, but the college kids will be heading there soon. Sending your child off to college and away from home takes some planning. It really isn't too early to begin making a list, and ordering what you need.  Miss Shop This and I spent the entire Summer getting her dorm room together. My favorite tip: order on line and have your things shipped to school! It's a great relief not to have to pack it up and ship it all yourself. There are so many fun and functional choices for every budget.  Here's what I loved.


Bisley File Cabinets
Add color and functionality to a drab dorm room. I remember my own coed needing something that locked to keep her passport and jewelry safe. Terrific as a trio or alone. Fun!
The Container Store 

Acrylic Desk Accessories
Style and function! Lighten up the desk with these clearly chic containers.  
CB2  


Spectrum Hamper
Oh yes, there will be dirty clothes...for days! Store them in style with these chic containers.
The Company Store


Underbed Shoe Storage
Heels on wheels! Floor space is premium in a dorm room. You simply must hide things under the bed. The wheels make this one handy storage solution.
Target

Mini Dot Sheet Set
Even if they don't make the bed, these sheets will add style and a pop of color to the dorm room. Now on sale at
Pottery Barn Teen 


WallCandy Chalkframe Decal
Decorative and oh so usable. She will write notes to herself or her roomie daily. Perfect for the dorm room door, as well.
2Modern  


Umbra Diamond Boards
Mix and match the way you stay organized with these super cool magnet chalkboard, cork, and dry erase board fragments. Buy 1 - 101 for unlimited designs like cool chevron, stylish squares, or chic cubes. Super cool. Read all about them at
Container Store

Bungee Overdoor Towel Rack by Umbra
There's one thing for sure, the average dorm room has absolutely no room for towels, wet or dry. This rack is the answer. Plenty of room for sharing with a roommate. 
Container Store  


Joy Mangano Hangers & Mini Steamer
Ask any college student. Huggable Hangers and a steamer are essentials for the school year. The hangers will triple the hanging space in that tiny closet. The steamer takes the place of an iron and bulky board. You need both.
HSN 


Dorm Wall Decals
Your college guy or coed is all about social media. They will feel right at home with these icons on their wall. They are removable, too!
Wall Star Graphics at Etsy  


Cuisinart® EasyPop™ Hot Air Popcorn Maker
For the midnight munchies! 
Amazon 


Bedside Pockets
I could totally use one of these! Perfect for storing expensive electronic devices and eyeglasses. This may well keep a costly accident from happening.
The Container Store  


Jersey Knit Bedding
Both guys and girls will love the cozy comfort of this bedding. Available in a rainbow of colors with the feel of their favorite tee shirt.
The Company Store 



Sugar Paper L.A. For Target
For the fancy pants girl (or me). These good looking desk accessories rate an A+ for style. They are amazingly affordable, too.
 Target 

Dippy Large Basket
She'll store, undies, hair products, magazines, leggings and so much more in these. A pretty pick that is now half price at
 Pier One Imports    


Pacific Coast Down Bedding
Better sleep equals higher grades. We can't actually make them go to bed, but these products will certainly improve the quality of their sleep. I love all of my down bedding from this brand. Shop the back to school sale at Pacific Coast. You can find a good sale also at Macy's

Bright & Bold DIY
A girl has to have her little chotchkies to feel at home. Shop for all of the inexpensive equipment to get this look yourself at.

Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?


SINGER22 - Fashion Men's & Women's Online Clothing Store

I do not like changing our clocks 
forward or backward. Does that mean
I am afraid of change?  More likely it
means I am a bit lazy. My home is one of those that every clock says a different time....ALWAYS. Thank goodness for cell phones! So today's inspiration comes from my own utter confusion.  

Here: 11 Terrific Timepieces

This is my thoughts exactly, and just how I felt this morning. Too fun!

MICHELE 'Serein Diamond' Moon Phase Watch Case, (Strap sold separately) 
Just love this very unique watch with 
100 twinkling diamonds.

Perhaps not the most precise clock around,
but it sure is cute. The eyes roll around with
each passing minute and hour.


Michael Graves for Alessi Wall Clock
Proof that time really does fly.
Sara Designs Woven Wrap Watch
A weighty way to keep time.  Love it!
It's off the chain.
Shop Bop

It's always 5:00PM somewhere!

is beyond all trends.

music lovers.
