Once fourth of July passes, I feel as though school is just around the corner. Summer just seems to fly from this point forward. Despite the fact that my days of the “school supply” list with its endless boxes of kleenex, crayons and bottles of glue are well behind me, I still get excited about new supplies and so do my two girls. Their tastes have matured quite a bit so they are no longer impressed by a colored binder and a pictured folder.  They, like me, adore russell + hazel, girl of all work, lamy, etc. . With my youngest heading off to her first year of college in August, we are busy thinking about supplies not only for the classroom but for her dorm room as well. At the top of her list are these adorable “puffy frames” from working class studio. While from afar they look like they are inflatable, once you get close you’ll see that they are a nice thick cotton stuffed fabric. Nothing short of adorable. Perfect, yes, for a dorm room, but they could just as easily go in an office, nursery or kitchen. Each frame comes with a sturdy piece of cardboard for mounting a picture, corkboard (with girl of all work super cute thumbtacks!) or anything else that suits your fancy. There are two sizes and several colors so I am sure one will work with whatever color scheme she and her roomie decide on. With space at a premium in the dorms, you really have to abide by the rule that if it isn’t beautiful or functional than leave it at home. I am certain that the puffy frames will be heading to college this fall.

Happy decorating.
