Happy Friday and happy October everyone!It's Spirit Week at my school and tomorrow night is our Homecoming dance. For Spirit Week our theme was jungle/safari. We've had crazy hair day, karaoke, safari dress-up day, movie day (they played Lion King), spirit shirt day, pep rally, and deck out day. I love Spirit Week each year and it's one of those bittersweet senior moments when I realize that this is my last one. As for Homecoming tomorrow night, I'm so excited to see everyone looking sharp …

Begin Again
This week has been ridiculously crazy! I'm working so much on college supplemental essays, doing homework (obviously), and prepping for our homecoming which is next weekend! The one thing I still really have on my homecoming checklist is to find a really cute necklace to go with my dress. One of my favorite thing about school dances is dressing up for them, so I always put lots of thought into what I wear for these fancier occasions because they are a lot rarer.In regard to other occurrences …
College Interview
This week I went to my first individual college interview! I was pretty nervous beforehand because I wanted to make the best possible first impression. It turned out to be a wonderful experience and quite a lot of fun! I was interviewed by a recent graduate from the class of 2012 and I also talked with the person in charge of admissions for my area as well as some parents who have children currently enrolled in the school. I was there for about an hour in total and I really enjoyed the whole …
Lakeshore for Labor Day
Happy Labor Day! (Better late than never, right?)I was lucky to have a four day weekend last week thanks to Labor Day as well as a special football tournament our school was participating in.... in Ireland! As a result of the tournament, a huge portion of our school was in Dublin for the weekend. The Varsity football team, Varsity Poms (my girls ♥), golf, cheer, staff, parents, and lots of alumni flew over. I've heard from everyone who went that they had a wonderful time. It's clear …
Some Nights
Believe it or not, I've made it through almost two full weeks of my senior year in one piece. Everything is already flying by at such a fast rate! I'm currently going through the process of narrowing down my list of schools and deciding where I'll be applying this fall for college next year! I know I want to go into communications and then apply the degree I get to a job within the fashion industry. I might want to work with a brand in regard to PR or work with journalism for a fashion magazine. …
Spread Your Wings My Little Butterfly
I absolutely love the color combination of the pink, black, and white, but I'm particularly in love with this outfit for a different reason. I already had each of these pieces in my wardrobe! I simply took them and combined them into a brand new outfit for a friend's birthday party last weekend rather than going out to buy a whole new outfit for a single event.I feel that so many of us (yes, me included) have the tendency to think, "I can't wear that again! I just wore it for __(fill in the …
Ahdorably Made Bows
This week I had the wonderful surprise of receiving a package in the mail from my dear friends Shelby & Bailey containing one of their super cute Ahdorably Made bows! When I visited the Botanic Gardens the next day, I decided to pair my cute new bow with this shirt from Forever 21 and my favorite Kate Spade bow ring. I think that the bow really pulls the outfit together and adds to the bow theme nicely. I'm so very happy with my bow! The ribbon is great quality and the french clip …
Red, White, & Blue Forever
I am so sad that the 2012 London Olympics have come to an end. However, watching the closing ceremony last night was amazing! As many of you know, I absolutely love One Direction and Ed Sheeran. Watching them perform at the ceremony on TV was wonderful! I am so proud of all of them and very happy that they were able to have such an amazing experience. I must admit that yes, I did scream more than a little bit and take pictures of them on the screen..... so sue me ;).I hope everyone enjoyed the …
Chasing The Sun
It's crazy to think that a week from today I'll be starting school again! I'm definitely going to miss the freedoms of summer, but I'm really looking forward to seeing lots of my friends again (some of whom I haven't seen since May)! As I approach my senior year, I'm amazed by how quickly high school has flown by. At times, there's a part of me that wishes things would all come to a screeching halt for just a few seconds so I can get a better grasp on the fact that next your I'm going to be …
