Life. I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. Love. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime. Friendship. A mere friend will agree with you, but a real friend will argue.This is Ryleejanes blog. Get it

Teen Vogue Bedding Launches!
One look at Teen Vogue Room Makeover contest winner Paola Henriquez's revamped room and it's not hard to figure out the fourteen-year-old Floridian's favorite color. "I've always been in love with pink," she says. Lucky for the high school freshman, then, that interior designer Tori Mellott used Teen Vogue's rosy-hued bedding (available at jcp.com) to set the tone for Paola's new space. But Mellott was careful to strike a balance. "I didn't want it to be too Barbie," says the interior designer, who avoided over-the-top frills with pieces like a geometric-print rug and simple Roman shades. The finished product was a home run. "I cried when I saw it,"says Paola, who submitted her entry for the contest just two days before the deadline. "If I had a fridge in there, I'd stay in my new room for the rest of my life." —AMANDA FITZSIMONS
Garden State
*Talk about flower power! Blown up to graphic proportions, this pretty peony print bedspread (JCP.com) makes a major impact.
*Self-Reflection
Make a small space feel big—or a big space feel even bigger—by hanging a mirror, like this papier-mâché one from Stray Dog Designs.
*Magic Carpet
Mixing patterns is A-OK, as long as you stay within the same color scheme. This geometric rug from Madeline Weinrib (over white wood flooring from Armstrong) matches—not clashes—with the rest of the room's floral pattern.
*Center piece
Chandeliers can be too fussy—keep things fresh and youthful with a funky overhead lighting fixture, like this one from Ikea.
*Hot Seat Here's a bright idea: Add zing to a neutral piece of furniture with a blast of neonspray paint. (This chair from Wisteria was originally black.) For extra credit, reupholster the cushion with a fun fabric. Sounds hard, but it's not—all you need is a stapler and elbow grease! (Desk by West Elm.)
*All A-Board Organize and show off photos, awards, magazine clippings and just about anything else that can be pinned down with a chic bulletin board, like this linen one from Pottery Barn. (Glass desk lamp, West Elm).
*Light years
Cast white on white. This sleek Vizio TV (available at Target.com) keeps with the mod theme of CB2's floating shelf unit, and virtually disappears into it.
*Art Class
Create a gallery-style environment on a budget. These chic prints from buzzed-about illustrator Danny Roberts go for just $20 a pop (igorandandre.blogspot.com).
*Neat Idea
Who says storage boxes have to be unsightly? Banish clutter and add a pop of color with stylish containers (themacbethcollection.com).
*Night Light
Late night reading sessions are sure to benefit from a stylish bedside lamp (like this one from Stray Dog Designs).
*Vanity Fair
Keep close quarters from looking cramped with a transparent console (CB2). Propped against a window (custom shades by Bettertex) and paired with a reflective stool (Wisteria), it makes for a glam vanity complete with natural light.
