Moodboard Monday: Dorm Room

Morning y'all!  Welp, my littlest sissy, Laura of <a href="http://www.belclairehouse.blogspot.com/search/label/Lulu%27s%20Listings">Lulu's Listing</a> fame, left for college last Thursday.  She was five when I left for college and even though we're 14 years apart, we've always been super close.  I still think of her as she was the day I left for Mizzou so this is kind of weird.  I'm so excited for her because I know that the next four years (+1 victory lap if you're smart) are the most fun ever.  The Suze and my dad will officially be empty nesters so if any of my readers are empty nesting and have any advice to pass along, I know they'd appreciate it. <br /><br />On to the moodboards.  Laura is going to school at University of Alabama for interior design and put together the cutest dorm room, which she said I could share with you as soon as she got a few more pieces.  In an effort to live vicariously through her and her college experience, I put together two dorm room inspiration boards, then I went and took shots of Captain Morgan's before I put on my red sequins halter top* and black pants (black pants were huge in college), the perfect outfit to wear to <a href="http://www.quintonsandtonic.com/">Quinton's and Tonic</a> for Martini Madness and a dance-off under the disco ball.  Wait.  Where am I?  What's going on?  Sorry, I got lost in the nostalgia of someone else's college experience <strike>definitely not my own</strike>.  I mean, who drinks Captain Morgans?  hahahahahahahahahah uhhh ...<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">* I actually did not own a red sequins halter top, but my roommate did and when she brought it out, I knew it was going to be a fun night.  I'm also pretty sure only people who went to Mizzou will understand any of this.  </span><br /><br />I could've done 12 moodboards but I kept it to two.  Similar elements: simple bed that doesn't take long to make, baskets for storage, fun desk accessories since that's where one will spend most of their time (and hopefully not in da club) and the beginning of a blue and white collection.  They're both super girly because I was super girly in college. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
