Toiles!

I love toile, it's classy and has great color combos! It looks good in bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and throughout your house or apartment! Some different places have their own signature toiles, but I always just search for color combos that I like. They're great for all seasons and incorporate tons of different colors that you can use as accents. I hope to decorate a lot with toile! Here are a few of my favorites:
Nautical toile
Pink and green toile
I'm not positive if you can consider this toile, but I still love it!
More pink and green toile
LOVE this blue and gold toile!
Blue and green toile

Any other toile lovers out there? A bunch of y'all repinned some of my favorites, so I know you're out there!!

Planning My Vision

This is the bedding that I have for next year! A few people asked me if I would post it, and as someone guessed, it's Tommy Hilfiger Hibiscus Hill bedding. I'm really excited to have it and my mom got it for a steal! With bedding out of the picture, I'm working on the additions to my room and what the bathroom will look like. I went to Target yesterday to get some ideas and to see what was out there. At first I was thinking about a monogrammed shower curtain in a shade of green to match the bedding. 

As I shopped around I found a few great pieces that would go with that from Target:
The Avocado set of items would be super cute and would  match the bedding very well. They have all kinds of bathroom fixtures just like these that would all match very well. I'm calling this look #1.

After shopping around for a little while I found an adorable shower curtain that's white with delicate "ruffles" that I love:

This inspired an entirely new look for a bathroom that I'm calling look #2. This would include all polished silver instead of the avocado. I'd use these holders:

I love the clean look of the clear plastic and silver. I'd put cotton balls and tissues and all kinds of other fun stuff.

Right now, I'm leaning toward Look #2, but I'd love some votes one way or the other!

I also found some really fun room stuff. I get a desk, desk chair, dresser, and nightstand since it's a furnished townhome. I haven't thought too much about the other stuff that I'd like to get, so I was excited to run into a few items that I could picture in my room (...and most of them happen to be from the Circo Little Girls' section!):
I'm loving these pink tupperwares! They're actually clear with pink snap tops, how much fun!? I used a lot of these for storage last year in my dorm room and they worked out great. I also found some other pink accessories (and how great do both shades of pink match the pinks in my bedding?!):

I enlarged this picture so you can see the shelves better, but they're so sweet. They're big square bookshelves that fit more square cloth drawers. I have about 4 of the drawers already from my own room at home, but I could just pop pink and green ones right into the cubbies and then have a few other cubbies for storage (books, etc.) and the be able to potentially put my TV on top! These shelves also come in white which could be a nice neutral alternative if the wood in the room fixtures is white too. I really think that these shelves would be great in my room!

On a completely other note, I found a total Lilly Pulitzer knockoff dress:

Super cute, and probably no more than $30! I can't believe those designers over at Target...they really can make some spiffy knockoff designs!

What do you guys think about Look 1 and Look 2 (I feel like Dr. Seuss)? I can't wait to hear!!!

New Bathroom Addition

As most of you know, I'm moving into an off-campus apartment next year. It's a 3 bedroom, 4 bath set up. Each resident has their own bathroom and then there's an extra bathroom that we're calling the hostess one. It's a great addition to have and I'm excited to have a bathroom to shop for! Last year, we had boring sliding glass ones and my suitemates took over buying stuff for the bathroom which was very nice of them. My mom and I have slowly been picking up things here and there for the house next year, which included bedding, some cups and plates, and towels. Nothing too too major, but I found a shower curtain that I think I'm going to order. I've been looking online at personalized ones and I cannot believe how expensive they are. Some are upwards of $200! That shocks me!! Now I know I could go over to Target and get a plastic one for like $25, but I found one that I love from PBTeen:
How much fun would that be in a bathroom?! My bedding is Tommy Hilfiger (I'll write another post about that if you all would want to see it...) that my mom picked up and it's BIG pink and green circular paisleys with some delicate white embroidery. The green in that matches perfectly with the green in the photo! They also have a pink which looks pretty close to the pink on the bedding, but the green would be pretty fun too since I don't have too much green. I'll have to talk to my mom and see if she likes this too (or if we could find another alternative somewhere without having to order online) and snag one for myself! It's going to be my new bathroom project for my apartment.

Any homeowners out there who have similar bathroom stuff? I'd love some ideas!! Thanks!
