Back to the Basics

With spring just around the corner, I’m dying to bring out my “springy” clothes!  I seriously cannot wait to wear my shift dresses and critter shorts!  While fun prints and bright colors are exciting, sometimes it’s nice to just be able to throw on a comfortable outfit, while still looking put together.  I think the…

SEVEN THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT ME: 1.  I don’t sleep with a pillow.  I haven’t since I was little.  All my friends thought I was crazy when I would have sleepovers.  It’s also a little disappointing because my pillows in my dorm are so cute (pink and monogrammed, of course)!   2.  I’m a…

Too Hot To Think

I am in love with the unseasonably warm weather.  I thought that I would enjoy going to school in the north (Yea, I know, DC isn’t really the north) but I have certainly missed the warm winters from back home.   There is one problem with the warm weather, however: THE HEAT STAYS ON.  (Ironically, we…

Pink Stress Reliever

After a long week of classes and exams, I always end up feeling stressed.  My teammates and friends will be the first to admit that I am not fun to be around when I’m feeling stressed.  One of my favorite things to do to relax on the weekends is to bake.  (My floormates definitely agree!)…

Tucker Blair has a product line featuring Needlepoint designs.  It’s not something you see everyday.  The cute designs are fabulously preppy.  I fell in…

Rainy Day

Today is the first day of class for the spring semester.  Of course, it’s raining out.  The rain makes treks across campus quite difficult, as there is a need to dodge giant puddles and try to manage carrying books and an umbrella. But, I decided to make light of the weather and write about preppy…

Ribbons & Bows

I think I should just come out and say it: I have an obsession with bows.  I think I may be in love with them.   If I don’t have a bow somewhere in my outfit, I told feel complete!  Dresses with bows, headbands with bows, shoes with bows, belts with bows… I think you…

Have a Merry.. and Preppy… Christmas!

They say friends and family know you best.  And mine certainly do!   After surviving my first semester at college, I was so excited to leave cold and snow and come back home to warm and sun.  I bundled up on the 18th of December and boarded my plane.  Luckily I planned ahead and made…
