I Believe in Pink.

i belive

Audrey Hepburn was a smart lady. I thought some of her wisdom was fitting, since it's October, AKA Breast Cancer Awareness month! I'm definitely embracing the fact that my favorite color will be popping up everywhere- and for a good cause, too!

I am 100% with Audrey on the whole believing-in-pink thing. I may be 21, but if you stepped into my room (at school or at home), you'd probably think you had entered the realm of a six year old princess.  Speaking of which... There are a few pictures of my room that I never put on the blog!

My handy-dandy dry-erase board and my Pottery Barn-inspired (okay, you caught me PB kids inspired) lamp Since taking that picture, I've moved my fam pic to my desk area and added my iHome charging dock/ alarm clock. And yes, those are cupcake sheets!

My glamorous hair and makeup studio, AKA the floor!

Watching Discovery Investigation channel quickly became one of my guilty (no pun intended!) pleasures this year, but as a huge scared-y cat, I'm trying to break my addiction to watching crime shows! I'm trying to focus on happy shows like "Modern Family" and "Say Yes to the Dress"

See those precious painted letters above my closet? When I worked in the marketing department of a large engineering-ish company a few summers ago, I had the pleasure of working with the sweetest, most caring woman, and as a going away present, she and her daughter painted me these letters. These have sentimental value, and I still love them as much as I did when I got 'em!

Ta-da! No room is complete without a little monogramming! Morgan totally hit the nail on the head when she painted this for my birthday present last year, because it matches my comforter perfectly!

One of my favorite personal touches in my room: my card ribbon! My freshman year of college, my mom helped me hang three of these ribbons on my door, and ever since then, I've loved using clothespins to clip my cards and pictures somewhere I can see them! Now since I only use one ribbon to hold my notes, I keep only the latest and the greatest on there, and the rest go into my organizer!

Although I'm sure my room looks silly and immature to lots of people, it makes me so happy, because like Audrey, I believe in pink. Heck, I'm gonna get the most use out of this girly decor as I possibly can now, because I  have a feeling when I "grow up", my future husband will not be a fan of the whole "pink bedroom" thing!

31 days of girl growing up

Like Audrey said, tomorrow is another day, and that means I'm another day closer to fall break! Wahoo! We made it through Monday, everyone!
