Tour Style Blogger Stella Dorothy's Dreamy Bedroom
Name: Stella G. of Stella Dorothy
Age: 14
Hometown: Los Angeles, California
From nail polishes and Chuck Taylors to abstract photographs and fashion books, 14-year-old Stella Dorothy's bedroom is overflowing with rad odds-and-ends, adding up to one seriously enviable space. Mementos collected from the L.A. native's family vacations and thrift store adventures sit on shelves next to stylish (and smart!) collections of books, while curated photos culled from Tumblr and fashion blogs decorate her walls. "My family and I love to travel and everywhere we venture to, I pick up interesting finds to fill my room," says the super chic teen. "These treasures never fail to inspire me." We're certainly inspired, and you will be, too!

2/29Her Bedroom
"Books, photography, and art make up my room, which I'd describe as colorful and cozy."
3/29Her Outfit
"My Chanel-inspired jacket and gold high-top sneakers are both from Zara. The painting of a runway show on my wall is by Keith Mayerson."
4/29Her Nail Art
"I'm obsessed with nail polish and nail art. It's such a fun thing to be able to change what your nails look like every week or so."
5/29Her Bedding
"My pillowcases are all from Roberta Roller Rabbit. You can see I love color and prints, and I like that these have an India-inspired look to them. My striped duvet is from Shabby Chic. I love mixing patterns!"
6/29Her Cameras
"I'm a total photo junkie, which explains all of my cameras. The blue one is an underwater camera and the black one is my Flip video camera."
7/29Her Pens
"My favorite pens in the world are Flair markers. I use them to doodle on everything. I keep them on the corner of my desk along with aviator sunglasses and a great photo of the iconic Kate Moss."
8/29Her Photography
"This is the result of another photo project that my friend and I did. We used glow sticks to create shapes and letters in the dark!"
9/29Her Polish Collection
"Some of my favorite polishes by Butter London, Deborah Lippmann, and Chanel."
10/29Her Nightstand
"This is my nightstand where I keep fun things like my favorite nail polishes. The brightly colored pouch next to my polishes is a handmade change purse I found in a market in Cambodia."
11/29Her Favorite Fragrances
"My essential perfume is Daisy by Marc Jacobs because it's a subtle yet sweet fragrance. It sits atop of a leopard print box—I love leopard!"
12/29Her Perfume
"These perfumes were something I found in Port de Clignancourt in Paris, one of the best flea markets in the world! They're vintage bottles I selected based on their design and scent."
13/29Her Jewelry Tray
"I am a bracelet addict and I love wearing all different types of them! This is my chunky bracelet tray where I keep all of my bulky bracelets. The braided one is a DIY that I did not too long ago and it's made out of silk thread."
14/29Her Beauty Favorites
"These are my beauty essentials that I love! Every day I use a Nars eyeliner pencil, Maybelline mascara, and Babylips. If I want to go for a more defined look, I'll use my aqua shadows from Make Up For Ever and my favorite Youngblood lipgloss."
15/29Her Polaroid
"My friend and I love to play around with different types of cameras for photo experiments, and this is one of my favorite pictures of us! We took it using a Polaroid camera and it lays against many of my favorite books. It makes me smile!"
16/29Her Doll Collection
"I have a collection of Matryoshka dolls that I started when I was 6 years old. Whenever I see one, I pick it up to add to my collection."
17/29Her Hand-Me-Down Camera
"This camera used to be my mom's, but she gave it to me. Did I mention I'm a photo junkie?"
18/29Her Desk
"My desk is the ideal place for me to blog and do my work. It's surrounded by the things that I love and it's a peaceful environment."
19/29Her Buddha
"I found this Thai Buddha at a thrift store, but I didn't like the color so I spray painted it gold and added some fun beads. The photo behind the statue is of me on a camel in Israel. In Israel, everywhere you look there are patterns and colors that are so much fun to play with."
20/29Her Mementos
"When I took my family trip to Paris, I fell in love with the city and with this little Eiffel Tower. I keep this on top of some vintage books, and it always makes me smile to know that I have a part of Paris in my room."
21/29Her Thrifted Heels
"These great chunky heels were a thrift shop find, and they make me immediately think of the hippie era. I love the stitching on the side."
22/29Her Chucks
"The top is J.Crew and my shorts are vintage Levi's found at a flea market. I'm also wearing Converse, which are a staple in my wardrobe."
23/29Her Skateboard
"Skateboards are very Southern California—and they're super cool, especially the ones that have art on one side of them. I have three skateboards in my room, and they inspire me with their bright colors and graffiti-like designs."
24/29Her Mannequin
"My mannequin was given to me as a gift on my 14th birthday. I wanted to add my own style to it, so I used bark that had fallen from the large Sycamore tree in my front yard to cover the torso and I accordion-folded colorful magazine pages to create the skirt."
25/29Her Wall Collage
"I decided I wanted to create a complete source of inspiration so that every time I entered my room, I could look at the wall and find something new and different. I spent a lot of time curating the photos and worked toward creating an interesting and balanced composition. It's a work in progress. My goal is to cover the entire wall, floor to ceiling."
26/29Her Outfit
"This blazer is from Zara, and my favorite thing about it is the shoulder pads. It kind of reminds me of Alexander McQueen! These rad Supras are from Premium Laces in NYC and my checkered collared shirt is from Abercrombie."
27/29Her Outfit
"I'm wearing my favorite pair of pants I ever purchased, boyfriend jeans from Zara. Birkenstocks are always a classic clunky shoe, and they go perfectly with ripped denim."
28/29Her Jewelry
"I also love changing up my jewelry every day depending on my mood or my outfit. I always wear rings. Rings are versatile yet transform any look by adding sophistication. I found the brown and white ring in a small village market on the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. It's worn next to bands that I purchased at Madewell in Los Angeles!"
