This has been a long time coming but I had to wait until my new digital camera and all its parts had arrived before I could take my own pictures. (I’ll review my new camera in a few days - it’s pink!! I have no idea why that delights me so much o_O)

Anyway, about a month ago I challenged you girls to send me pictures of your girly room deco and promised I would show mine eventually since I hadn’t finished decorating. Truth be told my room is kind of a mess so no particulars will be revealed (certainly not my bed, which looks like a tornado whipped through since I rarely make it =P).

As an English major I automatically tune into tropes and motifs, and I noticed in the process of picture-taking that the theme of my room are collages and collections. For example, the image on the left is a collage of words cut out from magazines that I made all the way back in my emo, crafty high school days.

I moved back to school today and spent the whole day sweating over getting a ridiculous amount of junk packed, loaded, unloaded, and put away. It’s a process I never liked because it makes me lament buying so much cute clothing I want to take with me, but there is something to say for the soothing effect of homemaking (nesting instincts kicking in much?)

I’ve seen many many dorm rooms in the last few years and anticipate I will continue seeing more. I’ve seen everything from the most neatly dolled-up and pinked-out sorority rooms (as pictured above) to the most ridiculously trashy and weedy-smelling dens. How you keep your space says a lot about you and it makes me curious what all of YOUR rooms are like.

So this is the deal: Send pics of your room (dorm room or not) to ming@girlybubble.com and I’ll post my favorite(s) in a week. Obvs I will respect your privacy and will not use pics submitted for any other purpose than this mini-contest and I will keep your name off at your request. Winner gets the opportunity to guest post about her interior design skillage and a free pass to the VIP area of the Fashion Shoot Party! (see my last post for details). And when my room finally stops looking like a clothes-bomb went off in it I’ll post pics of mine as well ;D
