Southern Sorority Style

Coming to Vanderbilt I expected to see all the sorority girls dressed up each day in Lilly and Tory and J.Crew. That is not the case (which is obviously amazing!). Today I rocked the typical sorority style: Norts (mine are chi omega monogrammed of course), black flip flops, and a chi omega oversized t-shirt. Comfort is key I am slowly learning. 

As long as you are repping your letters, no one can judge how you look! 

Living in a Dream

The ENDLESS SUMMER SALE by Lilly Pulitzer. The season I look forward to all year long. It is a dream come true for a poor college kid like me that lives for Lilly Pulitzer. After hours of reloading the page and continuing to get messages saying the site was temporarily unavailable, I found success and was able to purchase three items. The credit card (and my mother) will not be happy, but how could I resist a Lilly Pulitzer dress that was 75% off! It's impossible to resist!

I really wanted to buy some shorts as well, but with my current college kid status and the lack of knowledge of my size in shorts at Lilly, I made the wise decision of removing them from my tote. Maybe next time (not maybe, for sure next time!).

Take a look at the items I splurged (well in my mind it is splurging) on today:

1. Briar Skirt in Resort White Doodle Bug Daisy Placed

2. Adelia Dress in Lagood Green Birds and the Bees

3. Camie Dress in Resort White High Tide Toile

It's just that simple.

Color is the New Black

In the past my wardrobe consist of three things: BLACK BLACK and more BLACK. Well, with my new transfer I am attempting to turn over a new leaf. I am starting to incorporate more color into my wardrobe in order to fit the summery Nashville scene.

It's not that I didn't like color. And it's not that I was afraid of color. Black was just easy. Thrown on a black shirt, jeans, and one bright accessory. So EASY. Well, personally that won't fly in Nashville, so COLOR is the NEW BLACK. I am starting to pair colors together and slowly move black out of my closet as a main item. Take a look at my new style inspirations.

Design Dream

Just like any other girl I fantasize about my wedding, my future career, and of course my house. I cannot wait to design my first house or apartment. It will give me a chance to take my creative side to an all new level. No one stopping me, no one holding my creativity back.

I guess I would call my style modern prep. My house/apartment will be simplistic with bursts of color and patterns.

Designing a house takes time and lots of thought and strategy, so here are some snip-its of what I hope will be the inspiration for my future apartment (because that is a little closer in the future than a house).

LOVE the idea of coloring the ceiling and not the walls. Gives the bathroom some drama! 

Organization is key in a small apartment!

A bedroom is the only place that is all mine! Meaning I can go crazy with patterns and colors.
And I will do that.

Another great idea: wallpaper on the ceiling!

I love simplicity in a dining room because there shouldn't be distractions in this room. But the bursts of color and pattern are oh so perfect!

GLAMOROUS! 

I wouldn't orange, but the color blocking here is exactly what I want.

I have always had an obsession with office spaces.  And with a little more color this one would fit right in with my apartment decor.
