When I was in college I, like every other girl that I knew, had icicle lights hanging on the ceiling 24/7. It looked super cute, was a great alternative to the harsh lighting and it helped set the mood for doing everything but studying.

These days I still really like the idea of these types of lights around my place but I'm steering clear of making my bedroom look like it's in a dorm. I've been obsessively pinning ideas that I think would look really great in my new bedroom since it's cozier (yes smaller) than my current one and it already feels more like home to me...even though I haven't even moved in yet.

Here are some cute ideas that I've been looking at and plan to use my Micro 30 LED Lights from Oak Leaf. 

What's cool about the lights is that they're battery operated so I don't have to worry about wires hanging out or using up an outlet that would normally be used for my laptop or phone.

Also, Oak Leaf is letting run a giveaway where one lucky person will get a set of their purple lights to use however they want. It's like Christmas never ends, right?
