Hump Day: Graduation Edition

Well, it's official...

I am a 
graduate.

Don't ask me how this is even possible. I'm still in shock. After 4 1/2 years at TCNJ, I am done. Although it definitely has not settled in yet. It doesn't feel real...and according to my fellow graduates, it doesn't hit you until school starts up again and I'm not heading back to class.

These were honestly some of the best years of my life.
If only you could stay there forever!

Hump Day

In the spirit of finals season...I figured this Wednesday would be the best Wednesday to start my weekly "Hump Day" posts.

I haven't exactly decided what their overall theme is going to be. But seeing as most of us are struggling trying to get by during these last couple weeks of class, I thought we could all use a little pick me up!


I know this is an old video, and completely overrated. But it made me laugh nonetheless.

If that didn't do it for ya, take these words to heart:

"Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action!"
(credit to Amanda for this quote)

Good luck with finals!

Pinspiration Tuesday

I think even though many of the outfits aren't too similar, that's what makes me happier as of late.

Being able to style myself (especially when I'm as tired as I have been in the mornings) without having to refer to my Pinterest boards feels like somewhat of an accomplishment. I love fashion and I love putting outfits together, but there at many times in which I will doubt myself.

Maybe it has to do with age & experience? Graduation's in T-9 days...

That must be it.

Virtual Christmas List

As usual, my mom's been begging me for a Christmas list. I'm always late giving my list...so why not make a virtual Christmas list? That way I can update it as I have new ideas ;)

Now I'm not saying I'm going to get everything on this list. But a girl can dream right?
Hey Santa.

'Tis the Season!

Now that the holidays have kicked in full gear, I'm getting more and more in the spirit!

Glitter, lights, and a cold, red nose.

{Baby it's cold outside}
