Style Icon: Kate Middleton

This week she's on the cover of People magazine and InStyle just did an online article about how she dresses like royalty. I have always thought she was gorgeous but didn't realize how great her style was!

And how cute are her and her beau, Prince William?

A tad cold outside.

A couple days ago, for some reason, the temperature got down to the high 50s and low 60s, so I decided to pull out the Burberry jacket (I had previously packed it up to take home) and went to my classes (UGH).

I think I went a little over-the-top on the preppy thing but I only had two classes that day so didn't wear it for THAT long... :)

Take it easy.

Cheer up, and just take it easy with this song by the Eagles...

"Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand

Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy."

-Take it Easy

PS- love the clothes, guys.

Ruffles and Pearls.

I just ordered this shower curtain to hang instead of a door on my bedroom closet and I absolutely LOVE it!

I have been looking for something like this for a while and I finally found it...on Urban Outfitters' website!
Also, I want to make a blanket for at the end of my bed because my comforter is white, and I thought that Premier Prints' Pearl collection would look appropriate, but we'll see. 

 Can't decide which color I like best...

But I change my mind all the time so I might end up with a completely different fabric anyway...

Winding down.

This year has changed my life tremendously, for the better! On Monday I will be leaving to go home and I will be done with my first year of college! SO WEIRD. I have learned so many things and I feel as if I have really changed as a person. I also experienced complete freedom: which resulted in this picture...

 Camouflaged Busch beer...classy.

And this one...

 The most unflattering picture ever haha

Oh, and I totally did my first Kegstand and Shotgun this year! WooHoo!

 

But there have also been perfectly fun sober moments as well. Proof in two below pictures:

In Beverly Hills, California with the besties.

A night of sledding, with a sled attached to an SUV, safe, I know. And uh, we weren't "perfectly sober" but whatever...

I am going to miss living in a small dorm room with another person...not. I now get a nice medium-sized room all to myself for 4 months! I am super excited to get home and start re-decorating my room, working, and babysitting so I can have LOADS of money to buy new things! I also can't wait to be home for summer because I can post lots and lots of blog posts :)

PS- This year also brought a HUGE expansion to my wardrobe... I guess I online shopped a little too much in between classes?

So ready for the summer....and the beach.

Beach thoughts fill my mind while I should be studying for finals. Ahh, to have my feet in the sand and a drink my hand...can't wait. I also wish that I could live in the below pictures while I stay at the beach:

The simplicity just makes me relax and instantly want to be thereee.

And, if this little guy could be there, that would be great too :)

True Prep by Lisa Birnbach with Chip Kidd

This little video makes me soo excited about picking up a copy of the new preppy handbook, True Prep! I wish it came out this summer, I don't want to wait until September 7th!

Sex and the City 2

 Just basque in the greatness...

I literally can NOT wait until May 27th....

Ps- I want to slap whoever put Miley Cyrus in the movie...

True Life: I am an online shopping addict.

Obviously I have been pretty bored today, you might be able to tell from the numerous blog posts! I am not only going overboard on the blogage, but the shopping as well. Here is what I just bought.

New Guy Harvey shirt and three pairs of J.Crew shorts (actually my mom bought these and sent them to me from home!)

Tortoise Ray Bans!! Now I'm craving a bunch of new croakies...

AND a new Longchamp!! Yayy, the Longchamp is from eBay, so I'm hoping it's in good condition. I love the lighter pink though, the current pink they have in the Lonchamp collection is too dark/bright, I like the softer pink.

Hmm, we'll see if I have any more compulsions to buy new things or blog...

Ohh, Dave

Today is just a Dave day and this quote is just what I needed! I also love how I edited this picture, I might have to frame it and put it my wall :)

Tuesdays are just... boring.

Just laying around today but it's still hot as the dickens outside so shorts are a must!

PS- I NEED these...so cute. 

The wicker would look good with so many things; dresses, shorts, or jeans! Ahh!

I'm backk.

The mirrors above the bed reminded me of a hand-crafted oyster mirror I saw in an antique shop one time. I really want to make something like it... I just need to eat a bunch of oysters first :)

More inspiration...ahh. The pattern on the chairs are gorgeous, I want something like that in my room, but in a light pink or something equally adorable. 

I haven't been blogging a lot, between school and my social life I feel like I have no spare time. BUT today I decided I needed a day off, so me and roommate didn't go to class :) Now I can blog, eat pizza, and watch Arrested Development allll day. Plus, it's Greek Week at HSC so I might even go out tonight! <3
