pink saturday, october 25.

Hello hello! And welcome to another Pink Saturday!

Curious? Pink Saturdays are brought to you by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound, and more information can be found here. Also, check out the latest post and find some other pink fanatics.

On with the pinkness!

Continuing last week's theme, Cait's Pink-ified Dorm, here is my dull, extra-long twin dorm room bed. Not super comfortable to begin with, but just add a memory foam topper and some cute accessories, and it feels just like home.



I am a big fan of decorative pillows. This one was a wonderful find, although I can't remember from where.



Finally, let me introduce you to Izzy:



For those Grey's Anatomy fans out there, yes, she's named after the famed artery-cutting doctor Ms. Izzy Stevens. My roomie Danielle and I watched Grey's every week, and there was an episode where George cheats on his wife with Izzy. The suspense built as he tried to find time to tell his wife. At the very end of one episode, he opens the door to their apartment, and after an awkward pause, he just says, "I slept with Izzy." For days, I would walk up to my roomie's doorways and repeat the line, with a look of seriousness. Then when I got my new stuffed pup and was having trouble finding a name, one of my roomies suggested Izzy. Because, well, I do sleep with her. And it stuck.

And because I'm just amazing like that...



Izzy was actually a prize I won at a Think Pink! Bingo Night fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. Coincidence? I think not.

Ah, then end to another Pink Saturday. Thanks for stopping by!

I seem to have a bad habit of missing out on every other week of Pink Saturday. But have no fear! I'm back again and hope to really keep participating weekly.

No clue what I'm talking about? Check out this post over at How Sweet the Sound to find out more.

On to the Pink Saturday festivities!

Today's item is a simple one - a very cute wall clock that I found at Bed Bath and Beyond a few years ago.



It was really inexpensive and fits perfectly with the pink theme I have going on in my room. The next couple of Pink Saturdays on my blog are going to feature the various pink items throughout my dorm room. There are a lot, I'm warning you now. Everyone walks into my room and goes, "oh wow.. it's so.. pink." That's me!

A couple of my friends mentioned that they're not fans of the analog clock, especially mine because it doesn't have the numbers there, just the dots. So I went a-searching online for some other cute pink clocks and found some that tickled my fancy.


Trend Lab Clock, $19.99, Target

That solves the whole number issue, making it really visible with the chocolate-brown numbers and hands. And I'm loving the polka dots!


Pink Is as Pink Does, $15.00, from Etsy user CraftedByCarol

This is just TOO adorable. I'm addicted to searching on Etsy.com because I get results for almost anything I can think of, and everything is so beautifully made.

Considering that this blog's gone pink for October, I decided it's only fitting to include some items that are helping the cause in addition to adding more pink to your life. This watch is absolutely gorgeous, isn't it?

So there you have it.. hope you enjoyed your time here today for Pink Saturday. Thanks for stopping by and see you next time!

think pink for october.

If you're someone who frequents my actual blog, then you've noticed a few changes. If you don't (I'm looking at you, Google Reader or other blogroll users!), then you should know that I've completely PINKIFIED my blog.

October is breast cancer awareness month and I'm going pink to raise awareness. I'm going to try my hardest to get some informational stuff up here - I'm setting a goal of posting something awareness-related at least once a week. I wish I could do more, but being swamped with schoolwork isn't conducive to having stuff for you every day.

Wanna join us? Head on over here and ch-ch-check it out!
