Park just had a new drop and it’s selling out fast! Most girls love the sweatshirt in a L/XL.
These sweatshirts sell out within the first day, so you’re going to want to run to the event! 🌸💗💕

Heritage decor will never go out of style and it's a great shift from dorm looks we've seen the past few years.

I love a classic dorm room look with soft blue bedding, red accents, ruffled details, woven storage, and timeless heritage-inspired decor. It's preppy and a little more grown-up than typical dorm themes.

Most dorm floors are not exactly pretty. Adding a rug to your dorm space is an easy way to brighten a room and give it a cozy feel.
All but one of the rugs included in this edit are washable (even in dorm washing machines). They also transfer well when moving from dorm room to apartment living.

I wish I knew about this hutch before shopping for dorm essentials!
Having valuables in one safe and easily accessible spot makes a huge difference!
I sent my oldest to school with some important and expensive things (her purse, some of her better jewelry, documents).
It's so helpful for them to have a safe place to keep valuables and documents so they don't get "lost in the rubble". Even if your kids are neat, small areas like closets, draws, and corners in dorms get cluttered quick.

These two bags are what we saw all over college campuses last year. The backpack is a fan favorite for guys and girls. This tote bag is the one most college girls requested last year. I got it for my daughter and initially thought she wouldn’t use it much but it’s all she used for her classes, and worked as a great travel carry on and is now being used as a beach bag too! I have one myself, and it’s been used well through the years and has held up perfectly! It’s definitely worth the money! I do plan on getting the same one for my youngest this year. Both bags come in a wide array of colors.

I wish I had found these last year for my oldest before she left for college! I ordered the smallest of the three for both my daughters this year, and they are awesome! They fit perfectly under dorm desks, or any small area. After realizing how little space girls actually have to store everything from hair dryers & curling irons to makeup & skincare, and a few extras for when they run out, I was on a mission to find an alternative that wouldn't overwhelm their rooms. These rolling carts are perfect for dorms, look good, are built well, and ideal for all types of storage! They are one of my favorite dorm essentials!

Preppy Pinterest-Worthy Dorm Decor

I love pastels and this dorm's palette is exactly what I would want if I were heading to college. It's giving New England summer vibes, and reminds me of Cape Cod and Nantucket! I mixed soft blue, pink, white and floral pieces with functional dorm essentials to create this look.

The bedding feels light and classic, the desk shelf and nightstand add extra storage, and the ottoman, lamp, wallpaper and pillows make the room feel styled instead of basic.
