Welcome to my room!

Hey y'all!  I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and are excited about watching the Super Bowl!  I'm always really excited for the Super Bowl, but not for the football part, just for the commercials and yummy finger foods!  Don't get me wrong, I do love football, but I am more of a college football fan than a NFL football fan.  I actually just put put some food in my crockpot for the Super Bowl so while i'm waiting for that to cook I decided I would give y'all a tour of my room!  I have had many questions about parts of my room when y'all have seen it in my pictures on Instagram so I decided to go ahead and give a tour of parts of my room!


Just a heads up!  Before y'all start looking through my room and thinking i'm a freak, I wanted to let y'all know in advance that I took out all of my pictures that I had in my picture frames so that is why they are empty!  Hope y'all enjoy!  

I will also post about some of my favorite things and include a link so that y'all can check the websites out!  (Just click on the name of the company to go to their website!)


I will start with something every girl loves, JEWELRY!


This is where I keep my pieces of jewelry that I wear most often!  The board that is holding all of my necklaces is something I made myself in the Lilly Pulitzer print Hotty Pink Ten Speed.  I added additional hooks to the board so that I could add a few more of my favorite necklaces to it.  As y'all can see a lot of my Jewelry is nautical and most of it is Lilly but I do have a few other pieces such as statement necklaces, bubble necklaces, my gold monogram necklace which came from Max and Chloe, my pink monogram necklace and nautical cuff which both came from The Gifterie Palm Beach,  and my cuffs that I have been obsessed with lately from 5th and Ashland!


The next things girls love after jewelry is more accessories!


This is another wooden board that I made in the Lilly Pulitzer Florida Print.  I made this and hung it right by my door to catch all of my things I use on a daily basis instead of me just laying them down all around my room.  Right now I have my monogrammed hat, my Lilly Pulitzer gold clutch, my brown Luggage colored Michael Kors purse, and my monogrammed clutch that has a removable strap and so many compartments inside from The Prickly Pear Boutique!  Other things I typically hang here are my backpack, my rain jacket, and my sweaters!


HELP!


This here is my pointless and junk collecting bookshelf!  I originally got this book shelf because my kitten at the time (who is now a cat) was trying to jump on top of a mirror that I use for my hair and make up.  You will see part of the mirror in a different picture below, but this mirror is huge and very heavy and I was worried it would end up falling on her and that would be very bad!  So I got this really tall bookshelf thinking that both of us could use it!  She could careless about the bookshelf and I am still undecided about how I want to style it!  For now, i'm using it as storage for my Lilly bins that hold my school stuff and craft supplies.  I need y'alls help!  Please leave me a comment if yall can think of a cute way to style this bookshelf (without books!).  For a while I was thinking about trying to make every shelf a different theme or different color scheme, but now I just do not know!  So please leave me your ideas in a comment below!

Here is where it all happens...


This is probably the part of my room that I spend the most time at!  Yes, this is my desk, but more importantly than that this is where I get ready everyday!  In my top drawer I have school supplies, but then rest is all for fashion!  I have all of my make up, hair supplies, perfume, and everything else girls can't live without!  This is the big mirror I was telling y'all about that my kitten would jump on to!  I have a bunch of perfume, but I have some of my favorites on my desk in my Lilly tray along with my nautical desk lamp!  I think one of my all time favorite things about this part of my room is my seat cushion!  I had this custom made for my chair by My Pink and Green Garden which is an Etsy shop.  She also made my bulletin board that y'all will see in a few pictures.  I love it and she does an amazing job!  Right beside my desk in front of my window is a little Ottoman stool thing quatrefoils on it that opens up and I store my blankets inside it!  It is also Kitty's stool that she enjoys sunbathing on while looking out the window!  I really like this piece of furniture because it is so handy for storage and I found it at TJ Maxx for $29!

Here is a close up of my Lilly Pulitzer tray on my desk that holds a few of my favorite perfumes and my nautical light!  Taylor Swift Wonderstruck, Betsey Johnson, Lilly Pulitzer Wink, and Forever Red by Bath and Body Works.  I definitely use my Lilly Pulitzer Wink perfume the most (I think that is my 6th or 7th bottle of it) but they discontinued it so whenever I see it I always snatch it up fast!

How exciting!.....



This is what's on the left side of my bed!  I call this corner of my room the nautical corner.  By now y'all know I am a nautical girl!  I love the beach and just think every aspect of it is so beautiful!  Some of you guys may be wondering why my night side table has hole in it!  Well as I said earlier, I took out all the pictures in my picture frames for this post.  This table is actually a table with picture frames in it! I think this table is so nifty and cute and it can hold 5 photos!  So thats why the table has holes!  Out of all of my furniture in my room, this lamp is by far my favorite.  This lamp is supposed to look like a coral colored beach pale full of sand and seashells!  Not only is the beach pale in my favorite color, but I don't think it could get anymore beachy than that!  The funny thing about this lamp is that I found it on the side of the road when I was headed to my beach house with my family.  We were driving along and saw an old guy selling knick-knacks and this lamp caught my eye!  I screamed (almost scaring my dad half to death) for him to turn around.  He looked at me like I was crazy but my mom told him to turn around.  Sure enough, it was exactly what I thought it was and I was in heaven!  We paid a whopping $20 for this lamp!  I also love my nigh light that is plugged into the wall that my sweet boyfriend gave me.  It reminds me of the Lilly Pulitzer You Gotta Regatta print since it has a sailboat on it.  I also love it because it is a picture frame!

These are also in the nautical corner of my room!  You can see the corner of them in my previous picture with my nautical lamp.  (again, just so yall dont think I'm weird, I took all the pictures out of the frames for this post!)  I found the 3 of these picture frames at a thrift store for .99 cents!  What a find for something that is right up my alley! 


Get excited again....


This is the right side of my bed!  On my night side table I have some Lilly Pulitzer magazines and my iPad Air that I got for Christmas (you can see the details in my last post about my Christmas goodies)!  I also have my bulletin board that I mentioned about which came from the same lady who made my You Gotta Regatta seat cushion for my desk!  Once I was out of my dorm room I didn't have much of a purpose for my bulletin board, but it has slowly become a sticker collector!  Ironically most of these stickers are from some of my boyfriends favorite places, but i'm okay with that if they make him happy!  A lot of these have also come from giveaways!  I have stickers on here from Over Under CoSouthern ProperBrewer's LanternBeau OutfittersSouthern TideSouthern Shirt Co, and Southern Point Co!


This isn't anything new for y'all!


Here is my bed!  All of the bedding is Lilly Pulitzer!  The quilt was monogrammed by It's a Girl Thing Monograms and you can also check them out on instagram @itsagirlthingmonograms!  They did an absolutely amazing job and I would trust them with any of my items!  The Pillow cases and the quilt folded at the foot of my bed are also Lilly Pulitzer and it is actually the twin bedding that I used in my dorm room!  Hanging above my bed is my Waltz sign (for those of you who don't know, a Waltz is a girls 21st birthday party that is themed and they wear a sign with a list of 21 things they must get done before the night is over)!  Of course I had a Lilly waltz!


Last but not least... MY CLOSET!



These are my closet doors!  I'm very fortunate to have such a big closet!  On the left are all of my dresses and on the right are my tops!  I figured I've shown y'all the inside of my closet enough and almost everyday I show y'all my outfit that came out of my closet so by now y'all know my closet pretty well so here is a look from the outside!  I have a couple of totes that I use pretty often hanging on the outside of my doors so that I can just grab them and go when I need them!  I was going to take my canvas off my wall for the picture, but it looked so naked without it so I just blurred out our faces, but that is a picture of my boyfriend and I at my beach house last 4th of July.  On the left I have a Lilly Pulitzer Chin Chin Printed tote and my Lilly Pulitzer Florida Printed tote and on the right I have two burlap totes that have my monogram on them!


I hope y'all enjoyed touring parts of my room!  If y'all have any questions about where I got anything from don't hesitate to ask!  Also if any of you guys can think of anything at all that I could do with my bookshelf please let me know or email me at SouthernLillyLady@yahoo.com!  I really want to switch it up and make it look cute rather than a junk collector but I just can't think of what to do!  Thanks for checking out my room and I hope y'all enjoyed it!  And again, thanks to each and every one of you for being the wonderful followers that y'all are!

xoxo,
Southern Lilly Lady
