Camel for Fall

Camel for Fall

By now, every store has fall collections displayed in their windows. It's nice to know that others are looking forward to fall as much as I am. I am so ready to see some color on the trees, leaves on the ground, and pumpkin spice lattes. Give it a few weeks and summer will be long gone. Here at school, it's already getting chilly at night and two days ago, it was 62 degrees all day long. We had such a warm Autumn last year, I'm hoping this year brings a lot of snow and crisp

Weekly Skinny: August 30th

Weekly Skinny: August 30th

It's time for another Weekly Skinny! I am loving sharing my current faves with you all each week. This week has a lot of videos on it because I was trolling Facebook in bed the other night and found some great videos that I just needed to share with someone. Yesterday, again, no post because it was my first day of school and I had a lot of stuff to do and writing the blog post didn't make it into the schedule. I'm still working on scheduling my day out and tbh, yesterday was

Summer Recap

Summer Recap

And just like that summer's over. It's been a super long summer of four months and today I go back to school and start off my sophomore year! I have spent the last few days settling into my very first apartment (woohoo!) hence my lack of posts these past 72 hours. I'm glad to be getting back into a schedule and into my daily routine. Towards the end of August I started getting bored with all of the time that I had on my hands. When I have a busy day, I am much more productive

How to Shop the Lilly Pulitzer Sale

How to Shop the Lilly Pulitzer Sale

The biggest sale of the year is finally happening. I have known about the sale dates for so long and I am so happy that I can finally share them with you. So many customers at the store asked me and I had to lie and say I didn't know, along with so many curious readers. If there's one thing I have learned, it's that there are some dedicated and very patient Lilly Lovers out there. I know how cut-throat the sale can be so I wanted to share a few of my tips with you for both on

How I'm Going Into Sophomore Year

How I'm Going Into Sophomore Year

Today's the day! I'm off and on the road to JMU to start my sophomore year of college and I am so excited! Seriously, words cannot describe how thrilled I am to be returning to Harrisonburg. Last year as a rising freshman, I was excited to be heading off to college but wasn't entirely too thrilled about James Madison itself. I wasn't totally in love with the school and had the predetermined plan to try to transfer out of the university as soon as possible. It was so silly of

Weekly Skinny: August 23

They response to my new Weekly Skinny series was so great! I am so happy that you all enjoyed reading up on my favorite things and boy do I have a ton of really fun things to share with you today. On social media, at the mall, or the store, whenever I saw something I loved I wrote it down on my phone so I wouldn't forget a thing. This week is my last week at home, and tomorrow I get to pack everything up and load up the car so I can head back to JMU. I can't wait to live in m

What to Expect Each Round of Recruitment

What to Expect Each Round of Recruitment

There are only two weeks left until rush week at JMU and I know every chapter on campus is getting ready to meet all of the PNM's and invite the most fitting group of women into their chapter. I truly can't wait to welcome 60 new incredible ladies into ADPi in a few weeks. As much as we initiated members are so excited and a little nervous about rush week, I know the ladies finding their new home are all having pre-recruitment jitters too. I was once in your shoes, I totally

Back to School in the Skipper Dress

Back to School in the Skipper Dress

I'm starting to think about back to school clothes. I spend all day walking round campus, riding on the bus, shuffling around at work. and sitting in class. I want to find not only cute outfits, but comfortable outfits to help me conquer the school day. Since I'm in college and I spend a lot more of the day walking around outside, I love to have a breathable and cute outfit that's easy to move in. Most people walk around campus in leggings and an oversized tee shirt but I lov

Master the Art of Small Talk

Master the Art of Small Talk

In an ever-evolving world where much of the business done today it through email, we sometimes forget how to communicate face to face. It's a scary thought that we can easily close deals over the computer but can't have a fluid conversation in person. Nowadays, so many employers look for potential employees with outstanding customer service skills and people skills. Small talk is so essential and important in the "real world". You'll use it when making new friends, moving to
