Photo courtesy of StyleSketchbook.com In an industry that so heavily stresses originality, fashion often feels like more of the same.

SPRUCE UP YOUR DORM ON THE CHEAP
Dorms suck. The yellowing stain on the wood, the too-small accommodations, the mystery stain on the wall. All not good things. And while you can’t redecorate your dorm in its entirety (they won’t even let you put up curtains in some cases), with a little patience and creativity, you can easily add a few touches...
