Summer purchases!!
Hi y'all!
SO terribly sorry I have once again been a bad blogger! Boo hoo, I have been busy! Well as busy as you can be in the summertime :) lots of shopping and lunches with friends! Oh yeah and getting ready for PARIS! Oh my goodness, I am so terribly excited. We leave in exactly 13 days! Yipppe!!
So without further a do ... here are my recent purchases!
A quilted Dooney&Bourke coat! I had been searching and lusting for the perfect quilted coat and for ages had been eyeing the D&B ones but with nearly $300 price tags but knew the only way I could get my hands on one would be if it went way down in price and the Dooney&Bourke gods answered my prayers and I got it for .... $90 at TJ Maxx!! By far one of the best buys ever!
This lovely Lilly skirt! Isn't the print adorable? At only $29 I absolutely could not resist. It was an absolute miracle I found it at TJ Maxx, I swear it was the only Lilly item in the store! Cannot wait to debut it soon!
The Lilly for LeSportsac side satchel! I was on the hunt for the perfect side bag for Paris and what could be more perfect than Lilly?! The print is absolutely adorable and it is very roomy so will be fantastic for sightseeing!
Glitter TOMS! Super comfortable,cute and a great cause! The first day I got tons of compliments on them!
Puma shoes for walking. Not being a total fan of gym shoes (actually not one really at all!) these are cute, pink, and seem quite comfortable!
Wedges and new t-strap sandals! Perfect for summer and going out at school!
Those are all of my purchases! Hope y'all are having wonderful summers, I've been loving all of your recent posts lately! Have a great night!

Oh boy...
I am officially obsessed with this!
Ode to the Nice Girls
"This is my tribute to the nice girls. To the nice girls who are overlooked, who become friends and nothing more, who spend hours fixating upon their looks and their personalities and their actions because it must be they that are doing something wrong. This is for the girls who don't give it up on the first date, who don't want to play mind games, who provide a comforting hug and a supportive audience for a story they've heard a thousand times. This is an homage to the girls who laugh loud and often, who are comfortable in skirts and sweats and combat boots, who care more than they should for guys who don't deserve their attention. This is for those girls who have been in the trenches, who have watched other girls time and time again fake up and make up and fuck up the guys in their lives without saying a word. This is for the girls who have been there from the beginning and have heard the trite words of advice, from "there are plenty of fish in the sea," to "time heals all wounds."
This is for the girls who have spent their weekends sitting on the sidelines of a beer pong tournament or a case race, or playing Florence Nightingale for a vomiting guy friend or a comatose crush, who have received a drunk phone call just before dawn from someone who doesn't care enough to invite them over but is still willing to pass out in their bed. This is for the girls who have left sad song lyrics in their away messages, who have time and time again dropped their male friend hint after hint after hint. This is for the girls who have been told that they're too good or too smart or too pretty, who have been given compliments as a way of breaking off a relationship.
This one's for the girls who you can take home to mom, but won't because it's easier to sleep with a whore than foster a relationship; this is for the girls who have been led on by words and kisses and touches, all of which were either only true for the moment, or never real to begin with. This is for the girls who have had their hearts broken and their hopes dashed by someone too cavalier to have cared in the first place; this is for the nights spent dissecting every word and syllable and inflection in his speech, for the nights when you've returned home alone.
This is for the hugs you've received from your female friends, for the nights they've reassured you that you are beautiful and intelligent and amazing and loyal and truly worthy of a great guy. This is for the girls who have been used and abused, who have endured what he was giving because at least he was giving something; this is for the stupidity of the nights we've believed that something was better than nothing, though his something was nothing we'd have ever wanted. This is for the girls who have been satisfied with too little and who have learned never to expect anything more: for the girls who don't think that they deserve more, because they've been conditioned for so long to accept the scraps thrown to them by guys.
Men complain that they never meet nice girls, girls who are genuinely interested and compelling, who are intelligent and sweet and smart and beautiful; men despair that no good women want to share in their lives, that girls play mind games, that girls love to keep them hanging. We nice girls are everywhere. But you're not looking for a nice girl. You're not looking for someone genuinely interested in your intramural basketball game, or your anatomy midterm grade, or that argument you keep having with your father; you're looking for a quick fix.
So don't say you're on the lookout for nice girls, guys, when you pass us up on every step you take. You don't want the nice girls, so don't say you're looking for a relationship: relationships take time and energy and intent, three things we're willing to extend - - but in return, we're looking for compassion and loyalty and trust, three things you never seem willing to express"

Soooo college!
Hi y'all!
I am sitting here in my EMPTY room waiting for my parents to get here. I cannot believe that my freshman year of college is over! It is sooo crazy! It has been such a great year and I have met so many great friends and had many many many funny and good memories. I will definitely miss all of my Dayton besties and seeing them 95037 times a day. But on that sad note, it is officially SUMMER!!!! No more loads of homework, tests, finals, papers or projects! Yayayaa!
What I learned from my freshman year (in a very brief nutshell)..
1) Jungle juice is lethal! Chugging it at a frat party is the farthest thing from a good idea, I learned that the bad way!
2) Keeping up with all of the homework definitely pays off in the end. It also is VERY beneficial to go talk to your professors, as scary as they may be, they do care and will remember you came to talk to them.
3) St.Patrick's Day is the best day of year.
4) Make an effort to get to know all of the people in your classes so you have a study buddy!
5) Enjoy your weekends and have fun! We deserve it!
6) Joining a sorority really does make your college experience even better. I am so glad that I rushed and love being part of ZTA and having a whole new family of sisters!
7) Most important thing - Realize that you will change. It is inevitable and part of being in college. I feel like I grew up soo much this year and although I changed/matured, I am definitely still my Lilly loving,girly self and am so glad I have learned everything I did this year.
Can't wait to get home! More later, wishing y'all good luck on your finals and end of the year festivities!

College Belle update!!
Hey y'all!
So sorry I have once again been a bad blogger, I have been SO terribly busy with school work, sorority activities, and school in general! Things have slowed down a bit so I can finally do a well needed recap!
I have so enjoyed reading your all's blogs everyday. The minute I get back from my first class I catch up on all of my blogs and cherish that part of my day.
I have LOTS of updates for y'all!
First off, I am officially a Zeta Tau Alpha! I was initiated and cannot imagine my life without Zeta, I truly feel like it has been a true blessing. Not only do I have 40 new sisters and the BEST big ever, but feel like I can truly be myself something I never really felt in high school.
Second, I got hired to be a tour guide at my school! Very exciting! I cannot wait to start giving tours and share my enthusiasm about Dayton.
I have successfully made it through my freshman year of college! We only have 3 more weeks of school! Cannot believe it went by so fast!
Those are my big updates! This year has definitely proved to me that there is so much more to life than silly high school.College really is SO different from high school. I myself was not a big fan of high school and never felt like I could be myself. But college really is soo different and so much better. Not only are the classes entirely different, with a lot more independence and individual work but you really are given a chance to grow up and change. It really has been a great year!
Here are a few pictures from recently!!

Have a fantastic weekend!!

Today is.. my birthday!
I am officially 19 years old!!!
Today is my birthdayy! It is the first time in YEARS where I have had class on my birthday since usually I am off for spring break during my birthday. It has been a wonderful day so far and I was awoken by a lovely seranade from my Zeta sisters and my parents.

Beauuuutiful welcome home
Happy Monday y'all!
I am "home"/back to school! Back to the bussle of homework, sorority activities, and friends. Although I was sad to leave my parents and the comfort of my own bedroom and bathroom, I am so happy to be back. It kind of takes being away to make you realize how much you love something. My first day back started off wonderfully because it is sunny and warm here today! It was the first day in monnnthes that I woke up and actually did not feel super tired and wanted to get up. It is absolutely gorg here today, sunny and almost 60! I traded in my North Face fleece for my favorite Lilly sweatshirt instead! Brought out the topsiders and sunnies too! With only 5 more weekends of school (can you BEELIEVE that?!) I'm ready to capture the moments I love soo dearly and enjoy being with my friends! Oh what a beautiful day :)
Hope y'all are having good Mondays!

Help needed - jean 911!
Hi y'all!
Here is my dilemma. While I have been home on break, I had looked all over for a pair of jeans. We looked at Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, and Lohmenn's. Absolutely noo luck! It seems like the biggest problem seems to be a gap in the back area. Do y'all know what I'm talking about? It seems like they fit perfect until I look and see that there is lots of space in the butt area. It's quite frustrating and I definitely need to get a good fitting pair before I go back to school on Sunday. Ideally I'm looking for a pair that works with my Revas, heels, and are both going out jeans and casual jeans. Our next stop is Nordstrom and J.Crew, hopefully I can find something!! Do y'all have any suggestions?
Thank you y'all!

Spring break!
Hey y'all!
I am writing to y'all from home! It is sooooo nice being back home and getting away from school. Although I love school, my friends, and my routine, I was definitely ready to get back and see my parents! It had been 9 weeks since I had seen them! I got in on Thursday and have had a super great break so far. My wonderful Mom had a few surprises waiting for me in my closet!
After the airport we went to dinner (real foood!) and it was yum yum. Then on Friday my mom and I took the El (the like Chicago Subway system) downtown and went shopping! Oh my gosh, y'all, we hit the shopping jackpot! First, we hit Nordstrom Rack. Thinking it may be a bust, we were optimistic but weren't sure if it would be a miss. We were sure wrong! I got the CUTESST things for soo cheap. I finally found a white dress for all of our ceremonies (the only one in the entire store!) and I also finally found a good fitting pair of black pants. Do y'all have trouble pant shopping? I have grown to despise it! I am kind of short and have a teeny waist but not so teeny legs so my pants are always too big in the waist or too long! But finally I found a good pair and I went down a size! I also got this really adorable Juicy tshirt and a few more pairs of sweat pants. Now I know that y'all are not always pro sweat pants but for class they have become my best friend. I'm going to post my comfy made cute outfits later this week! Anyhoo, I also found a very Betsey Johnson esque shirt for guess what.. $9! Thenn we headed over to the TJ Maxx and hit the sale jackpot again! I got the absolute cutest dresses ( I will post them tomorrow!) for less then $20 each and a Lilly gray pullover for $30! It is really adorable and will be perfect for class and wearable during all seasons. SO cute! It was by far one of our best shopping trips and truly a great time. It made me even more thankful for my relationship with my Mom and the opportunity to go shopping. Here are a few items from our trip!

Snow day!
Oh my goodness y'all SO sorry about my very long blogging hiatus. I have been SUPER busy with all of my Zeta stuff and haven't had much time. I am absolutely loving being a sorority girl and love having so many fun things to do and meeting all of my new sisters. It is so fun!
We had a half a snow day today which was so nice! It has been snowing here for a verrry long time so I am keeping my fingers crossed we have another one tomorrow!
Here are some pictures from recently!
xxox y'all!

New Years Re-cap \ Back to school!
Hey y'all!
New Years Eve was super fun! My four friends and I went to a delicious dinner at Bravo, a super yummy Italian restaurant, and many many laughs. It was a fun way to end my break and definitely one of the most memorable NYE's to date. Hopefully y'all had good nights too!
Saturday was spent doing last minute things - manicure, packing, and spending time with my family. I am officially back to Dayton now! After a very early morning (I woke up at 5:30!) and a busy day of traveling I am safely back in my dorm safe and sound. Being back is great but I do miss all of the luxuries of being home. I am excited to start new classes tomorrow, meet new people, and for sorority recruitment! That's right, rush is this week! I am really excited, I have had all of my outfits picked out all break! Do you sorority girls have any tips or advice?
Happy 2010!
xx, M
