Degas

I have been in love with Edgar Degas, the French painter/sculptor, for quite some time. I think it started back in second grade when you first learn about the great artists such as DaVinci, VanGogh, and the like. I was a ballerina up until I was 14 when I traded my ballet shoes for pompoms. Truth be told, I didn't care for ballet when I actually took classes and did recitals. It was only until after I stopped that I saw the true beauty of a ballerinas grace that I really appreciated the art. I especially love visiting the National Gallery of Art in D.C. because they have several Degas works. Here are some of my favorites:

They are so elegant, and the way he uses color is just beautiful. A fun fact about the sculptures is that most of the sculptures were made of wax, and in the early 1900s, a company made bronze casts out of the wax sculptures as a way to preserve the sculptures (I am not quite sure about the details, but this is what I have read!). Do you have a favorite artist or style of art? Have a fabulous day!

Sorority Room

This is the first post I have written while back at school! I haven't had a single minute of down time until now, and I will finally show you my super tiny room in my sorority house! Move in actually went quite well, I have the packing down to a science, so everything went off without a hitch.
When you come into the room there are 2 beds, 2 closets, 2 desks, and 2 dressers. Everything else you have to bring in yourself such as a hutch for over the desk, a refrigerator, TV, etc. This is the smallest room I have had so far (you'd think it would be the biggest because of seniority, but oh no!). But I don't have any complaints about it, my stuff actually all fit quite nicely, and I am so happy to be surrounded by sorority sisters. So without further adieu, here is my room!

This is my bed and desk area. I still need to adjust the bed skirt because it is not covering the end of the bed (I hate when you can see everything stored under my bed)! I also forgot my green down comforter from the company store and am having my mom ship that down to me because the yellow blanket at the end of my bed is not comfortable and cozy for napping!

This is another corner of the room. I was so afraid that the refrigerator was not going to fit, but thankfully we squeezed it in.The shoe pockets are an absolute must, especially in a small room like mine. The pockets on the back of the door hold my curling irons and straighteners and are a good way to have things easily accessible. 

This is a close up of the hutch storage over my desk.I got these baskets from Marshalls and they are perfect for holding medicine, headbands, and computer accessories. They also help to keep the clutter to a minimum.

This is so you can see the dresser part (sorry that the picture isn't very direct!). I added my jewelry storage, and lotions and perfumes onto the dresser with a fun "S" hanging on the wall.

I still have some mini improvements to work on but for the most part this is it! If you've showed off your college room on your blog, leave me a link in the comments section so I can take a look! Have a fabulous day!

Back To School!

Today I head to my first day of class for the fall 2010 semester! I am taking so many neat classes, some very hard, but I am up for the challenge! Wish me luck! To all of those who start classes, or start taking their little ones to school today, I wish you all the best of luck on a successful and fun filled semester! Of course I'll have my first day outfit posted sometime this week (I LOVE it!). Have a fabulous day!

Katy Perry

I love Katy Perry's music at the moment. When I first heard her "California Girls" song at the very beginning of the summer, I fell in love. Of course, like all pop songs, it turned into an overplayed annoyance, but I do admit that I absolutely loved it before it was overplayed. I also cannot get enough of "Teenage Dream". I love the beat and the entire energy of the song. Fast forward to right now and I am once again in love with "ET: Futuristic Love" by Katy Perry. All three of these latest songs are such great songs to workout to because they have a good beat. Katy Perry's newest album is coming out August 27th, and I am hoping that the songs will be just as fun and upbeat as the last three I've been jamming out to! Do you love Katy Perry?
