Welcome + My Workspace

Hello everyone and welcome to my first post here on Hello, Katharine Rose! I played around with a few ideas for my first post, all along the lines of introducing myself, but than I remembered that I'm horrible at introducing myself and if I did something like a 50 Facts About Me post, I would probably fail miserably and come up with about 15 things. So, I decided that I would do a less direct method of introduction by showing you my desk. I think that you can really tell a lot about a person by their desk. Whether they are messy or organized, what kinds of projects they are working on, and whether they are an office supply fanatic or not (obviously an important thing to know). I spend a lot of time at my desk blogging, making lists, doing my homework, procrastinating on doing my homework, so I try to make it a space that reflects my interests and personality.  

I think the focal point of my workspace is the bulletin board that hangs above my desk. I like to pin up some of my favorite things to create a collage/ mood board of my life. Some highlights: one of my favorite quotes from Patti Smith that I pulled out of an Oprah Magazine, an Ezra Koenig heart brooch I made and wore to a Vampire Weekend concert, and a Jane Austen button that reads 'Austen is my homegirl'.

My calendar is from Rifle Paper Co. and I'm absolutely obsessed with it because it isn't just a calendar, it is a work of art for your wall. I love taping up little things on the wall near my desk. Just today I hung up these polaroids from a Valentine's Day party I threw for my friends (no boys involved, only my #girlsquad and LOTS of chocolate).

On my desk, I keep a wide range of miscellaneous objects. On one side, I have a lot of pens, notepads and washi tape because I am definitely an office supply fanatic. You can tell by my shrine of colored pens and markers and also because of how many of my friends gave me pens and stickers for Christmas.
I also keep my polaroid camera on my desk as well as a Fresh lip balm and some of my favorite nail polishes right now (Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI and Glinda by Marc Jacobs).

I hope you enjoyed my very first post and that you stick around for more! I'm not exactly sure what kind of content I'm going to be posting but I guess part of the fun is going to be figuring it out. I'm so happy to finally be starting a real blog and I have a million ideas I am so excited to share!
