So it feel as if it is Tuesday not Wedesday. Part of that reason is that I pulled an all-nighter on monday night.
Had a research paper due, and a history test all in the same day. Plus I had a speech on monday. Want to talk about crazy. Can't believe that this semester is getting so crazy.

My starbucks crew gave me a nice little message on my cup. Thanks guys!

Any ways, I am about to crash yet again even though I got a good 16 hours of sleep yesterday.

Gave a speech on monday and getting my grade back today.

So ready for the weekend though.

I missed gossip girl and 90210 (I know my life is so hard)

And I slept through all of my t.v shows last night. (poor me)

Anyways.
The week has calmed down a bit but still much to do!
Can't wait to sit this weekend and do absolutely nothing.

Thinking about all of those effected by Sandy!
Hope you are all safe!

the first day of the winter and I get to wear a bulky sweater and my ugg boots.
today is going to be a great day!

And a late day, I have to finish a research paper and study for a test that I have.
So as I sit and eat my cereal I can only ask for one thing....an attention span to help me write the rest of this paper and to study for this test.
also giving a speech today.
Say hello to most likely the busiest week for the middle of the semester!

Its a sunday funday!
And not only is it sunday but it's a cold sunday funday!
LOVE this cold weather.
Its windy and kinda gloomy out but it's a nice change from sunny and hot.

In other news.
I have a lot of work to do today.
Eventually need to get some coffee inside of me.

Have on my pig slippers and cheetah robe.
Basically comfort to the extreme.

Till later.

Overjoyed-- Bastille

If you click the above link. 

You should be warned he is adorable, he has an amazing voice.

And I am slightly obsessed with this band...and the lead singer. 

The hair is just so part of his charm. 

Adorbs! 

yummy treats and thank goodness its hump day.

Thank you trader joes for making such delicious food!
I am making pumpkin pancakes for dinner from trader joes
And living off of chocolate covered espresso beans.
Also going to make hot apple cider.
Look at me
Being all studious and fall savvy.
Love it!
I can make it through this week

In other news! Adele had her baby boy!!
She is probably one of the other wonderful women that I look up to, along with Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Anne Hathaway, and Demi Lovato.
Her songs are empowering and I am sure her baby boy is going to inspire some happy songs for her baby boy. What a lucky baby. His lullaby's will be amazing.

Can't wait to see a picture of this precious boy!

Soon I will be doing math homework and studying my history and working on a research paper.
Oh the joys of the middle of the semester cramming sessions. And its not even like I'm behind.
Yuckkk

Survival of the week.

Things that are defiantly going to make my week a little easier to get through::

Redbull: It gives me wings

Starbucks: Pumpkin spice latte love

L'occitane hand cream it is seriously the most amazing thing ever.

My yoga pants and t-shirts.


And Alex Clare, Florence and the Machine, and Mumford and sons.

















                   So ready for winter break.

I am pretty sure I am not supposed to know where I will be in twenty years.
But I am stressed out that I will not be successful.
I don't know if maybe my emotions are fogging what is actually important.
Or if maybe I need a priorities check. But I feel as though if theres something I want more than anything its to go to a college that I want to go to.

I guess part of me went into major freak out mode today.
I wanted to have an answer today, and I know that thats kinda impossible to have but I think I was expecting more out of the situation then I received and I jumped ahead a bit and assumed that things were going to be ruined.

I mean its monday.
Monday is the worst day of the week after sunday.
I am ready to have Thursday (my friday)

I just want more clarity and less confusion.
I want to know about other colleges.
Why is college so expensive.
I don't understand.

Oh the things that I am left to ponder.

Rant rant rant.

Off to finish my work

Oh here comes monday.
Time to plan out which nike shorts and yoga pants will be used for the next couple of days.
Wish my oh so fashionable clothes got more use when the semester was in session but honestly there is no point in trying to.
Takes too much time.
News has come that I will be eventually transferring to a better school *cough* UGA if I can maintain my GPA. (which is totally possible!)
Obsessed with this new Jcrew and Chicos shirt I got.
Thinking of actually wearing one of those tomorrow. So that would be a nice change.
Once upon a Time is on in less than 30 mins...Sooo excited. Monday, Tuesday and Wendesday are some of the best T.V days. Oh and Thursday when glee is actually on.
Looking forward to my morning pumpkin spice latte and public speaking class.
I am listening to the last glee episode songs.
That episode made me cry like a little girl.
SO good...even though all the cute relationships are gone....I still will always love the show.

In other unexpected random news.
I am writing an an essay for a glamour magazine contest.
Sooo excited for them to at least read it!

Once upon a time is literally right around the corner!
Keep calm and carry on.

Sometimes we just need a break

I have done nothing except a couple math problems and watching a season and a half of Greek. 

Thank you netflix. 

Tomorrow I am thinking of going on a mission for a creme winter sweater. 

And craving a pumpkin spice latte (surprise you?)

And dreaming of some new lilly pulizer dresses. 

A girl can dream right?

Keep it classy.

Happy Friday!

Its the weekend! Lets get ready to have some fun!!

                                 

Remember

Know that everyone you come across if fighting a battle. Realize that we all have insecurities. And sometimes those insecurities get the best of us. But its not what we feel on the outside its how we act even when we feel like we aren't pretty enough, smart enough, or even good enough. Each person that I come across I know is facing a battle. Keep your head up high darlin' things can only go up from here.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Sometimes we get so worked up over what being an adult is all about.
We turn 18 and automatically we think FREEDOM and ADULT HOOD and INDEPENDENCE.
However all of these things don't come when the clock strikes midnight on your 18th birthday they come with time.
And by time I don't mean a couple months.
Could be a year or two years, maybe even five.
And that's okay as long as you're not 30 and living in your moms house.
Being an adult is much more than freedom and independence
It's being responsible, its having experience, it's knowing how to handle situations.
Being an adult also entails that you know how to manage your time, your money, and your social life with your work life (which is totally managing your time...but still)

There is so much more to being "grown up"
And what we don't realize is that even though you turn 18 or 20 in my case, that you need to have it all figured out.
Goodness knows I don't.
Don't rush your years of being somewhat carefree.
I promise:
To learn from my mistakes.
Take advice when needed. (there are about three people I'll take advice from..yes im stubborn)
Listen to my parents...(or learn after I do the opposite of what they say)
Try new things that I wouldn't normally try.
To be honest with myself on where I am in life.
And not be afraid to fall to the bottom.
And be able to know that I have the strength to climb to the top again.

The apple may fall far from the tree, but it always seems to find a way to a basket.

Stay young, stay preppy, and stay positive

Prude is a relative term

This is how I feel all the time.
Is it so hard to find a decent man?
That will treat you right and not like something in return.
Its crazy the things men do to get a woman....or occasionally get in her pants (sorry boys not happening)
Which makes women more skeptical (myself included) about mens motives when they do something nice for us.
So it leads me to this.
I am not going to just bend around backwards for any man.
This may make me a prude however in my eyes.
I am just being "highly selective" and goodness knows sometimes we have to be.

Where are my ugg boots??

What a wonderful morning to have a pumpkin spice latte in hand.
Its a bit nippy outside but its nice.

I am so excited for ugg weather.
I keep trying to make it ugg weather but I can't do it.

I am so excited for the temperature to go under 50degrees
I even tried wearing my beloved ugg moccasins but its just not that time yet.

Its an awkward inbetween seasons period.

I have a slight obsession with winter and all of the fun fashions.
Will have to go into that later.

xoxo
Happy Monday Folks!

Finally went to starbucks and got a coffee.
Thank goodness!
Of course it was a pumpkin spice latte.
Actually switched it up for a frappachino.
I remember why I only like those in the summer.
They make me cold!

Starbucks should do delivery.
I would pay for that.
Seriously.

Anyways


Tonight and tomorrow night are going to be good t.v nights.

First Once Upon A Time...loveee it!

Then Monday night is..Gossip Girl, 90210, and switched and birth...its a fantastic t.v night!

Blake Lively is amazing, I adore her fashion and she looks perfect even with out make up. (serious jealousy brewing over here...kindof)

Till later

Middle of the semester blues

I haven't had coffee yet today.
I am dragging around.
We ran out of milk in my house so I can't make a latte.
This is a problem


I am feeling like sleep is the best option at the moment.
sleep sleep sleep.
But you see I have a bunch of school work to do.

First order of business coffee.
Then after coffee...comes the dreaded studying and reading.

Why can't it just do itself.

xoxo

for some reason I just cant get enough of camels, they are this obsession that I love. Kate Spade came out with this wonderful line of almost camel everything just in time. 

I have the wonderful camel wallet, and the camel earrings.

Literally the cutest idea. 

I know that people find them to be disgusting animals but after you get over the fact that they can be slightly disgusting they are the cutest animal to me.

I feel as if this camel obsession will be lasting with me through the winter season as well. 

Halloween is around the corner

I am ready!

What girl doesnt like getting dressed up and wearing a hopefully cute costume and going to a party and spending time with her friends.

We are having a party this year, I am so excited.
I am feeling like an upper east side New York party planner and I love it.

Pinterest has been fueling my ideas for what should be done.

Thinking of making mummy dogs. ( crescent dough with a mini hot dog).
And I am going to go find some type of costume, I am not going to buy my costume though.

I found this wonderful boho chic shop, that has all sorts of bits and ends to make an amazing halloween costume.
Bring on the thrifting!

Everything should just stay pumpkin till thanksgiving.
Pumpkin everything is what is needed for a while..
Though part of me is so ready for gingerbread and eggnog lattes.
/Oh the joys of the ever so wonderful holiday season feel as though they are right around the corner!

Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Tory Burch...oh my!

I am a girl who is obsessed with fashion and most importantly labels.
Some may say that it's a bad thing, I just think it's an expensive hobby.
I am a girl who is obsessed with starbucks lattes, black coffee makes me sad.
If it's not flavored I won't drink it.

Kate spade, Lilly Pulitzer, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Coach, Chanel...I mean my list just goes on and on.


You are in for a treat for this is where I will be posting all of my lovely details of my latest obessions, my fantastic fashion cravings, and of course a dash of what is going on when it comes to men.

Labels, Clothes, starbucks, and Men.
What more could you want?
