Darling Dorms

Its clearly still a work in progress. Although these were taken last week not much has changed. Granted it's gotten cleaner and more organized but the TV sitch is still the same, my bed is still not made (I'm a mess when it comes to that what can I say), and yes I do still have pictures up of my ex boyfriend. Judge on, lady franz. Things still need to be done but I figured I'd share with you guys my dorm incase you are totes missing your college dorming days, or you want to compare who's dorm looks better (Most likely yours). 

You should have seen my college dorm last year. The whole entire wall was filled with pictures. It deff made it more cosy, but so much more overwhelming to put it up!

Well since you asked to see a picture.....

Told you. 

Preppy on a Budget

As I had about 12-15 tabs open of items I wanted from Marley Lilly, I narrowed it down to these. See, as I was looking through the prices I was thinking, "ooh! I just got a paycheck I can spend it all on Marley Lilly!!!" WRONG RACHEL. You. Are. Wrong. Luckily, I was smart enough to put my debit card down and proceed on with my day.

I went back on my computer, too soon and came across the idea of searching for these items on Etsy.  Guess what? Well, not a good idea for my debit card but I found all the items I wanted, FOR MUCH CHEAPER! The greatest part about Etsy, in my opinion, is that there are different 'shops' to choose from, that price things different. I put on my thinking cap and searched far and wide to find my cheapest options. 

1. Iphone Monogram Home Button

If you are looking for one, I highly reccomend MEEsDesigns. I placed my order and received it within 5 days. But want to know the best part? $2.90, including shipping. WOO. Count me in. It's been on my phone for a little under a week now and I've received so many compliments. Even my dad thinks it's the bee's knees.

Best picture I could take, sorry! ...But it fits perfectly!

2. Circle Monogram Window Decal 

Ever want to monogram your car? Because I sure did. I was SO excited when I received this in the mail! I knew I would love it from the start. I got it within a week and as soon as I picked it up from my mailbox, it went onto my car. No hesitations. Only $5.95, too!

Other items I ordered but have not received yet!

-Monogram Pullover & WindBreaker. Currently on their way but I luckily was able to save a few bucks here and there by not buying from Marley Lilly. There is nothing wrong with their products, but being on a budget makes it harder to buy from them!

What are your favorite monogram items?

Look out for a DIY post on friday!
