Little WASP Desk

My bulletin board has an assortment of memories rather than anything particularly useful. Note the little seahorse at the top right corner. My friend Taylor gave me this little guy as a gift for Christmas one year and apparently it is an actual seahorse that has been sheathed in metal!


Next to my desk is my bookshelf. Clockwise from top left: all of my text books for the fall semester; my personal shrine to the one and only Lilly Pulitzer; my roommate's sole square of storage which I begrudgingly allow; my serious documents and career aspirations corner; my pleasure reading and lifestyle guidebooks; and my sudoku games/notebooks/recent copy of Martha Stewart niche.

A close up of the Lilly Shrine. Notice the photo album which actually holds snapshots from Summer 2011 at Camp displayed inside!

In a cute room, a cute trash can is a must, natch. I found this treasure at the one and only Home Goods.

Chapman University provides sturdy wooden desks for all of its apartments residents and I've done my best to splash a little bit of personality on its industrial style. On the left is a cherished photo of my Grandpa and me (he's quite a looker!), next is my little stack of preppy gospel, behind is my Lilly Pulitzer magnet board with my Tri Delta initiation certificate (for an Alpha Class member, it really should be framed, but for now Lilly will suffice), and in front is a tin of (likely inedible) lobster pâté from my roommate (Thanks Kelsey!).


I believe the above reading should be required for every young lady aspiring to be fabulous and a functioning member of society. From the bottom up: Take Ivy is essentially photos of classic prep style photographed at our nation's finest universities during the peak of prep culture, The Camp Dudley at Kiniya Hymnal holds fond memories of sunday nights at camp (who knew singing hymns would be everyone's favorite camp tradition?), True Prep by Lisa Birnbach should be read cover to cover and committed to memory, Tiffany's Table Manners for Teenagers was a gem my dad found in his library and I still love thumbing through the illustrations, on top is a recent addition to the list which I received last night from my Little Chloe and I can't wait to read!


Thanks are owed for allowing me to deviate from my master "7 Days of Accessories" plan. I feel bad just using photos stolen from Google so I thought a little personal touch would help remedy this lack of personality!
