First World Problems

Hi, everyone!

For one, I have been loveloveloving thing weather! The air is cold but the sun is out so it's the perfect combination!

One thing I wanted to talk about is that I am sooo excited I finally got a pair of Lilly Pulitzer Sunglasses straps for spring! Hallelujah! Why am I so happy you might ask? Well, let me tell you a little story. It goes like this:

I had been wanting a pair of Lilly Pulitzer croakies since the beginning of Fall semester, but I never convinced myself to actually buy them since the Fall and Winter tend to be a big darker. It finally started getting much brighter out in March, so I decided that I was going to buy them at the Greek Store on my university's campus. Guess what? Sold out. Of course when I decide to wait for them there are plenty, but when I decide I want to buy them, they're gone!

So then, I decided to go online to Amazon.com and couldn't find one I absolutely fell in love with enough to spend 15 bucks on. Next, I went to the Lilly Pulitzer Website and found a pair of croakies I loved! I placed my order and was expecting them to arrive at my house when I was there for Spring Break! To my dismay, I got an email from Lilly Pulitzer a few days later saying that my order had to be canceled because they had an overwhelming amount of people trying to buy them. They were sold out again, people! I had to go my entire Spring Break without the croakies I wanted. First world problems.

From here on the story brightens. When I got back to college after Spring Break, I called the Greek Store to see if they had any more croakies, and they said they had a new shipment of Lilly croakies and the new, longer sunglasses strap! You should have seen my ear-to-ear grin! Right after a math quiz I sprinted (not literally) to the store and found the PERFECT pair in the print "Lobstah Roll." I love the Lilly sunglasses strap better than the croakies because they're longer and seem to have a much better quality, so I'm extremely happy with my purchase!

What's the moral to this story? Honestly, I don't really know, but I guess it enforces that everything happens for a reason... but on a little more of a materialistic level (lol).


Happy Friday, everyone!

Work hard, give back, and love.

Yet, another Friday!

Hello my lovlies,

 Let us welcome in yet another Friday! We've done it again! While the thought of Friday always puts me into smiles, this Friday tugs at my heart a bit. It means that I only have a few days left of spring break with my wonderful family. I've had such a nice break, but I did realize last night that I am very excited to go back to college. The college life is busy busy busy, especially for me taking 6 classes this semester, and this break was much needed.

My mom took off work today to spend the day with me (how sweet!). This morning we enjoyed hot, toasty breakfast sandwiches, fruit, and pastries at Panera Bread, then I painted our nails fun spring colors, and now we are cozy on the couch watching one of my favorite childhood shows, Yours, Mine, and Ours.

Give your momma a warm hug today. That's one thing I promise you won't regret. : )

Work hard, give back, and love.

Hello, Spring

H E L L O, Spring. 

The official date of The First Day of Spring is March 20th, and we're almost there! Being on Spring Break has been amazing. The weather is perfect and I've had such a great time relaxing and spending time with my family and friends. I have also enjoyed putting bright and fun spring outfits together! Spring fashion just puts a smile right on my face.

I'm such a happy gal.

Work hard, give back, and love.

Sweet Spring Break

My "Welcome Home" basket

Hello, my loves!

This girl is officially on Spring Break 2014! A Sweeeet Spring Break. Woohoo! I had a tough drive home due to thunderstorms pretty much the whole way, but it was worth it. It feels so good right now to be on my couch and in front of a flatscreen watching Netflix. I haven't felt this relaxed in a long, long time.

My parents left me a "Welcome Home" basket of surprises in my room. How sweet of them?! I love them oh, so much.

I hope you all are having a great week!

Work hard, give back, and love.

Spring Break is Oh So Close

Hello beautiful people,

Packing galore!

I am in such a chipper and anxious mood today! I go home tomorrow, Thurs, March 5th, for Spring Break! Can I get an Hallelujia?! I haven't been home since Winter Break and I miss my family far too much. Most of my friends can't leave until Friday, and to that I say "HA." No, I'm not that mean, but really, I feel so lucky that BOTH of my teachers on Friday canceled class. So what does that mean? Courtney is leaving as soon as her classes on Thursday are over!

I've packed SO much of my stuff away. I am not going to lie. College move in and move out sucks! Moving all your luggage in and out is definitely the worst part of college. So me, thinking ahead, decided to pack away a ton of my things so that I can bring them home with me for Spring break. That way, move out when the semester is over in May, won't be as bad.

I hope you all have a fun and safe spring break and be sure to keep in touch with me on twitter. :)

Work hard, give back, and love.
