Roundup: Bathroom Accessories Under $100

Have any of you ever had one those moments where in your bathroom fixing your hair or taking a shower or something and realizing that there is so much room for improvement?  I had that yesterday while I was taking a shower (sorry for TMI).  I realized that my bathroom, my old, soggy bathroom could be so much better.  And I'm not just talking about a can of paint...esp since I can't paint anywhere in my apartment.  I do believe I can hang some wallpaper and since this is an apartment, I'm thinking some temporary wallpaper would solve the 'apartment wall-taupe' color problem that really is the bane of apartment-dwelling existence.

*One of my favorite things to do after a long hot shower while my skin is still moist is to slather on body oil and then pat my skin dry with a fluffy towel...followed by a dusting of powder.  I'm also a terrible shower accumulator, which means I love a mix of shower gel, lots of soap, sponges and puffs.  Yup.  I like to mix it up.  How about you?

Trend Alert! Stripes

Ok, I don't know if stripes are so much a trend, as much as a perennial classic.  I see them over and over again, each year.  Nautical stripes, vertical stripes, etc.  I'm really fawning over the plethora of striped dresses this season, and for some reason, I think I could maybe pull them off. But I love these dresses here:

Faux Two-Piece Dress via Nordstrom.com

Ella Silk-Shirt Dress via Net-A-Porter.com

The great thing about stripes, though, is that not only are they versatile fashion staples, they look great throughout the home too.  I think that a simple vertical or horizontal stripe can act as a neutral or as an accessory.  Check out my stripe trend that I found for the home as well:

Autumnal Inspiration & Decoration

I know it's been nearly three weeks since Autumn started, but the weather in Atlanta is finally starting to cool down. During this time of year , I love to open up the windows and let my apartment stay cool so that I can sleep in my warm, cozy comforter. Does anybody else do that?

Anywho, below are some of my favorite Autumn-inspired decorations. Enjoy.
