Long Weekends and Lilly Pulitzer.

Hey y'all! Because of presidents' day tomorrow, I have been enjoying a long weekend. Usually by this time on a regular Sunday, I would be freaking out and doing last minute studying and homework. But, I'M NOT! yay (:

Let's get on with this post, even though I could ramble on for how much I love, love, love long weekends and could probably write something as long as a book.

I have been doing a lot of fitness related activities this weekend, and I am feeling great! On Friday, I went to the Country Club and hit with the ball machine for a while and then practiced my serve, I think i'm ready for my tennis match on Friday! Also, I rode a lot this weekend (big news: I am getting a new horse most likely this week!) and ran.

Yesterday, I was feeling a little tired from all of my activities, so mother and I went to do a little bit of retail therapy (: I didn't end up buying much because the selection of Lilly Pulitzer that bloomingdales' carries is really miniscule compared to our Lilly store. But I did go home with something (:

At my school you have to wear shoes with laces (so no flats ):) and I was really wanting some new shoes to go with my sperrys. Did y'all know that Tory Burch has those type of shoes? Because I didn't and was blown away!

I love these! They are the Murphey Sneaker from Tory Burch. Navy blue is a color that will go with all of my uniform polos and the leather is so buttery soft!


Now this was a steal! This skirt was just about $60, and it was originally $119! This is the Roslyn Skirt in Multi Open Call! I had it hemmed yesterday and I wore it to church today, it is SO CUTE on! I got several compliments.

I'm guilty, yet another Rosalyn Skirt!! But this one has a single block stripe (: This is in the pattern Pink Glamorous Life! I pre-saled it at bloomingdales' for next weekend & I am excited to wear this beauty!
(FYI: There is a sale next weekend at bloomies' so...go pre-sale now!)

I saw a couple of possible Easter-worthy dresses but I'm going to go to the actual Lilly store to make sure!

And lastly, my outfit of the day for church!
I am wearing my gold & cork jack's, my Lilly Rosalyn skirt in Multi Open Call, and my Lilly Lexi Crew shirt in Navy.
I usually don't wear a lot of face makeup, but i didn't get to blowdry my hair this morning so I had a little fun. I wore Clinique Supernatural Foundation (it's lighter than my Tinted Moisturizer), Nars blush in Orgasm, Benefit They're Real! mascara, Sephora liquid eyeliner ( VERY thin line (:) and YSL touche eclat eye brightener.

PS: I tried hot rolling my hair about an hour ago, and I love the results! I would usually write that off as something older people would do, but no ma'am! This is so cute for people with thick hair because curling irons make you look like a poodle!!

Exhibit A (please don't laugh at my wanded hair)

Exhibit B...so much more loose and relaxed!

I think I will be doing this often!

XOXO,

Long time, No See!

Hey y'all! I am so sorry that I have been absent from the blogging scene! I have missed it so much! These last couple of weeks have just been so so SO busy and I didn't have one extra second for fun stuff like this! So, let's catch up (:

I went to new York city and it was a quick trip up there but it was just perfect! I loved spending the weekend with one of my best friends Lindsey (: On Friday morning we flew up to JFK, and we got in around 11, so perfect time for an early lunch! I couldn't resist going to one of my favorites, Balthazar! I would definitely suggest it for any of y'all who are looking to venture out to soho (there are also tons of cute shops!). Then we kind of wandered aimlessly for a while (: I met up with some of my friends, Tay and Sammie. It was great to see them. On Saturday I did a little shopping...Madewell and Kate Spade anyone? Then, I went to the Cody Simpson welcome to paradise tour! Now don't laugh at me. I like australian blondes, but I'm not a fan girl or anything, just enjoy his music. I got to meet him and his family, they were super sweet and polite. For the concert I wore jeans, a cute shirt with French script on it from
Zara and a jcrew grey schoolboy blazer (: Bobbi Brown did my makeup, and I got some new stuff...love! And the most exciting part? I got to go to...

LADURÉE! If you watch gossip girl you know what I am talking about! Blair is always eating their macarons, and macarons are my definite fetish! But let me say that I have never tasted anything more decadent! I would suggest the raspberry (framboise) or their 150 year anniversary one (almond) SO GOOD!

Also, I had a great time at my Sadie hawkins dance last Friday! I'll insert some pictures of that and powder puff! (I was the center!)

And last, but not least: valentines day!! I loved waking up to a starbucks card and chocolate! My sweet friends brought me chai tea, chocolate chip pound cake, and tons of candy! I utilized hopsy's crush can idea and it was a HIT! Thank you Helen (:

I promise that I will blog regularly from now on, I have my life back under control!! Expect some fashion posts very soon...I have some Easter dress things to take care of this weekend! Follow me, and I would love to follow back!

XOXO,
