Graduation Dress Help

Hey guys,

In about two weeks, I will be graduating from college! I'm so ready to be done, let me tell you!

Anyway, I've been trying to decide on a graduation dress. Of course, I've been eyeing some Lilly Pulitzer dresses but I can't decide. So if you can help me pick one, that would be awesome!

First, is the Shianne V-Neck Dress for $148:

Then, the Briella Fit and Flare dress for $188 also really tempts me too.

The third dress is the Bella Fit and Flare for $188.

 

Another dress that I really like is the Becky Dress for $188.

 

 

The Ollie Fit and Flare is gorgeous, but I kinda worry about wearing a bra with it. It's also $198

 

 

Next, is the Lexington dress for $198.

 

 

Finally, if I decide against Lilly Pulitzer and want to go a more affordable route, I have this cute Target chevron dress already.

 

 

So tell me what you would wear! I'd love to hear your thoughts. 

High Five For Friday

Hi guys!

I hope you all had a great first week of June! Here are my top five highlights of the week!

1.      This week marked midterms for my summer school classes. Only three more weeks left! It also marks my first 100% on a math quiz in pretty much forever. Yay!!

2.    Wearing some new clothes. I’m obsessed with these tees from Urban Outfitters.

 

3.    Getting to see my boyfriend this week was amazing! Any time with him makes me so happy!

 

4.    Loving my Summertime S’mores candle still! I’m obsessed with it. It smells so sweet and like my all-time favorite dessert!

 

5.    Painting my nails my all-time favorite color, Essie’s Chinchilly. This color always makes me so happy!

 

 

I've had a pretty awesome week! How about you? What were your five highlights of the week!

I Heart Spring!

1. Favorite spring nail polish?

 

Cute as a Button

Mint Candy Apple  

My favorite spring nail polish to this point would probably have to be Essie’s Cute as a Button or Mint Candy Apple. Cute as a Button is just a really pretty pinky coral color and of course Mint Candy Apple is the perfect light mint green.

2. What is your must-have lip color this spring?

Nivea Lip Butter

Seeing as how I really don’t wear lip color any season, nothing changes in the spring. But when it comes to lip products, I have been loving the Nivea Lip Butters (in Vanilla Macadamia and Carmel Kiss-which is just like Kettle Corn!). Not only do they smell so sweet and yummy, but they really moisturize my lips (which are still chapped like they are during the winter).

3. Show us your favorite spring dress!

 

I absolutely love spring dresses! They have been my favorite thing since I was little! If it has lace, chevron, or a pretty floral, I’m all in! But right now I’m obsessed with my newest lace dress from Macy’s! It’s a corally-orange and super pretty!

4. What's your favorite flower?

I absolutely love flowers. My favorite spring flower is of course, daffodils. They actually are my favorite flower just in general. When it’s not spring, I love sunflowers, mums, roses, poppies, and daisies!

5. Favorite spring scarf/accessory?

American Eagle Aztec Scarf

Lilly Pulitzer



Vera Bradley Go Wild scarf

As far as accessories go, my favorite for all seasons are my pearl earrings that my boyfriend gave me for Christmas. I have worn them every single day since he gave me them! I also love flip-flops for spring accessories! As far as scarves go, I love my Lilly Pulitzer scarf, Vera Bradley scarf in Go Wild my mom gave me for Valentine’s Day, and this new one from American Eagle I recently picked up. I just love scarves.

6. What spring trend(s) are you most excited about this year? (Makeup, fashion or both!)

I think I’m always just excited for scarves and floral print. I’m really liking the lace and vintage looking florals.

7. Favorite spring candle?

First Bloom

 

My favorite spring candle has probably been First Bloom! It’s super flowery and very strong! I also love using my Lilac Wallflower up at school! Nothing signifies spring to me like lilacs.

8. Favorite body spray/perfume for spring?

Country Chic Perfume

 

Country Chic is always my go-to scent, especially for spring and summer! I use the body wash and the perfume. I’ve also been loving my Marc Jacob’s Daisy, which is just a pretty floral for spring as well. And recently, I’ve been really loving Pink Chiffon from Bath and Body Works for a sweet, floral type scent.

9. What is spring like where you live?

 

See how bipolar it is? Ugh.

In Colorado, spring is kind of non-existent. We can get sizable snowstorms all the way until late May. This year we’ve had a few nice days sprinkled in with the really windy, 40-50 degree weather we normally have, with the chance of snow looming constantly.

10. What's your favorite thing about spring?

I like that feeling of warm days, flip flops, and summer vacation slowly coming. Unfortunately this year I’ll be stuck in summer school, but I love that feeling of finally having free, happy days. I also really like getting wear my favorite dresses (because during the summer I end up wearing Norts everyday) and lilacs blooming in my backyard!

11. Are you a spring cleaner?

Ummm, I wouldn’t say so. I mean, I think in spring I really want to make my room light and bright, so I constantly think about redecorating it. And as far as cleaning, I might organize it. But I did actually thoroughly clean my room at school a few weeks ago (I dusted things I had never dusted before!).

12. Any plans for spring break or an upcoming vacation?

My spring break arrived about three weeks ago, and it makes me so sad every day that it’s over. But I only have about 4 or 5 weeks until the semester is over. So that makes me happy. I guess the game plan the next few weeks is just to survive!

November Lusts

Have you ever noticed that when you don’t have money, is when there are like a million things you can’t wait to get your hands on? And when you do have money, there is nothing that catches your eye?

Well, I’m totally in the first scenario right now. With gift giving for my littles, my bank account is rather sad right now, so I’m trying to put a cease on spending (at least really dumb, I’m bored so I’ll go visit Target, Victoria’s Secret and Bath and Body Works and buy over $80 worth of wallflowers and underwear I didn’t need type of spending).

And of course, there are now about a million things that I’m dying to buy right now. So, here are a list of the random things I’m lusting over.

NARS Deep Throat Blush

This is a blush that I’ve been eyeing and thinking about for about six months now. And if it weren’t $28 at Sephora, I would probably already have it by now. See, I’ve been using Orgasm exclusively now since about June. And while it’s a lovely color and great quality, I’m just a tad sick of it. And while I could just as easily pick up a cute, inexpensive Wet N’ Wild blush or a Rimmel one, I think sometimes, it’s better to not accumulate a collection of products that are just iffy to you. It’s better to just save up and go for what you really want. And so while I’ve also been tempted by Tarte’s Amazonian Clay blushes and MAC’s Pink Swoon and Fleur, Deep Throat just keeps calling me.

Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara

So this one is sorta iffy on my list. See, so far I’m not a huge fan of Covergirl mascaras. They always seem really wet and difficult to apply beautifully. I know that Lash Blast Fusion is definitely not my mascara of choice, which is my last Covergirl mascara purchase. But I’ve so far heard pretty good things about this one, and well…it’s new! I want to try it! We’ll see if I actually drop the $8 or so on this, but it keeps calling me…

Maurice’s White Sweater

So a sorority sister of mine recently wore a white, chunky sweater sort of like this and I just loved her outfit. It was adorable. And I made the comment that if I could find a sweater like it, I would totally copy her. Well, I did. But have I purchased it? No. It’s only $34, which is pretty good for a sweater, but dropping that much on it…I just don’t know. But I envision it looking lovely with some dark wash skinny jeans, a nice red cami underneath, and maybe a chunky necklace.

Aerie Vintage Lace Underwear

I know this definitely seems random. And maybe too personal. But Aerie’s vintage lace underwear (which comes in 3 different styles I believe), is just so delicate and pretty looking. See, I have a real soft spot for underwear. I could probably go at least a month without doing laundry, and still have underwear to spare. Kinda sad, right? I’ve never purchased any undergarments from Aerie before, and this would be online, but Victoria’s Secret Pink (which is most of my current collection), just seems really young and cheap to me. Like a bunch a stuff a 15 year old would wear. Not a junior in college. So if you’ve purchased this style before, let me know your thoughts and if it’s worth it.

MAC Techna Kohl Liner

So it was pretty well documented that my last MAC liner died a painful, sad death. And because my college town is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, the nearest MAC is about 40 minutes away. So I had to settle with my Physician’s Formula eyeliner, which has worked fantastically. Except now I want to go back, just because it’s calling me. We’ll see. Maybe once I used up all of my Physician’s Formula liner, then I’ll move on.

Dottie Mugs

So it’s kinda funny. I don’t need these because our sorority house provides all the kitchen necessities we need like mugs. But the evil hoarder in me desperately wants to buy these and save them for whenever I need them (which you know, could be never). But I don’t want World Market to run out of them before I need them! So cute! So there is my random list of things that I'm currently lusting over.

What things are you hoping to buy soon? Are you just waiting for Christmas?
