I love to craft, ever since I have been a little girl, I have been painting on basically anything I can get my hands on. Last week was Big/Little week for my sorority and I crafted everything in sight. Below are some of the items that I crafted for my little; these are a few of my favorites.

Last weekend I took a road trip to Atlanta with a few friends to find dresses for formal. I wish I could wear my new Jenn dress, but everyone wears long dresses to Gamma Phi Beta’s spring formal. It got me thinking though about what I plan on doing with my hair, what kind of purse I’m bringing etc. This definitely means it’s formal season here in Auburn. Every weekend fraternities whisk girls off...

The fashion rule of white says that you can only wear white (pants, shorts, skirts, dresses) between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Well, my spring break is before Memorial Day, and I’ve been debating whether or not to pack my white bottoms on my trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I abide by this rule, but is vacationing in a tropical place an exception?
I say yes. If there are palm trees,...

The weather here in South Carolina has been absolutely nuts. Last week they were calling for snow, and this week it has been in the high 60s and low 70s. So why, might you ask,would I leave this little slice of springtime heaven and head for the arctic tundra that is the North? One simple answer: SPRING BREAK!
My friends and I had been struggling for sometime with what our plans for Spring...

Whenever I can free myself from my piling homework, I like to relax by starting a new book. Everyone needs some alone time, which is hard to find in college. Most college students don’t even think about reading when they get a free moment. It can be hard to find a book that will hold your attention and not remind you of a textbook or the fact that you should be studying for your Art History...

Preparing for Midterms vs. Preparing for Spring Break

NY Fashion Week 2012
Diane Von Furstenberg described her muse of the season in her notes: “With a heightened awareness to the promise of places she has not yet been, people she has not met yet, she wraps herself in layers of opposing dimensions, ready for anything. Practiced in the art of innuendo. She commands sleek silhouettes with sheer accents cut to reveal just enough.”
As I read...

It’s about that time of the semester of again: the time where we wonder where the early days of the semester have gone, the days where you could get by on “cruise control.” Not only that, but midterms are even sneaking up on us as well.

How to Take New York-Mistakes that could make or break your interview in the Big City

Celebrities that would look great in Emma Graham:
Which Emma Graham dress should you wear?
If you look like Taylor Swift…
Taylor Swift would look elegant in the Jordan; her tall thin frame would
accentuate the shape of the dress. The navy accented with the coral would
look amazing with her blonde hair!
