The BEST GIVEAWAY EVER and Dresses

Hope you all are having a lovely Saturday morning! So first I wanted to mention the most AMAZING giveaway that Fantabulously Frugal is hosting. She is the most generous person ever and is offering 3 different packages with various goodies in them such as Gucci sunglasses, gift certificates and other amazing things! So head on over there enter, and if you do PLEASE mention that I sent you!!

So the other news is that I'm going to my sorority semi-formal tonight, and of course can't figure out what to wear. So maybe you all can weigh in! Here are the options: (oh and sorry for the crappy photo quality...I took them on my phone haha)


Option 1: I haven't worn this since freshman year but it's basic and cute and has a fun back (see below)


The back of Option 1


Option 2: I don't know if you can tell from the picture but the dress is a really deep, pretty forest green. I love this dress and wore it to a semi sophomore year, but the only problem is that it's a little tight and can make it hard to breathe haha.


Option 3: This dress I wore for recruitment last year and it's REALLY pretty and comfy however I do need to add "chicken cutlets" and a good dose of fashion tape to make it work on top haha.


Option 4: Oops, sorry I didn't rotate the picture, but this dress I bought yesterday and is navy with ruffles on top.

So....which one do you like?

Tunes Thursday

Sorry that Tunes Tuesday got moved to Thursday this week...I left for my interview Tuesday night and was completely busy preparing for it. When I got back last night I went for mexican and margs, and then was completely lazy for the rest of the night! As for my interview I think it went really well! I spoke with two people and the first person I spoke with went to the same school as me, and both were so nice and completely welcoming. They seemed pretty impressed with my intership experience and I think that I would be amazing for the position so hopefully I'll here something back from them soon! In the meantime all positive thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Ok so on to this weeks Tunes Tuesday...for the rest of the month it's going to be all christmas...YAY! Alot of these are non-traditional but they're what I listen to starting in Novemeber so enjoy!

Back To Reality

After a crowded plane ride I'm back at school, and while I'm definitely happy to be back I'm TOTALLY missing home right now! My Thanksgiving was great, lots of good food and even better company (all except for our one family friend who is completely CRAZY but definitely makes holidays entertaining haha) and this past weekend was so much fun as well. On Friday afternoon, my mom and I saw The Blind Side which I thought was absolutely amazing and completely inspirational...I also loved the fact that both Leanne and her daughter were/are KDs! Saturday, my family went up to Salem to walk around and go to this teeny tiny museum that always has unique exhibits and when we got home we watched The Family Stone and The Holiday, two of my favorite Christmas Movies. Today, before leaving we all went to the Brighams (anyone from MA knows that it's the best ice cream EVER) in my town for one last visit because it's CLOSING tomorrow :( It's kinda sad how, well, sad I am about it but I have a ton of great memories from there, and will definitely miss my catch up dates there with my BFF from home, C. Right now I'm sitting in bed, kinda falling asleep, and trying to build up the motivation to write a paper thats due tomorrow at 10am...nothing like a fun way to come back to school! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Show Us Your Life-Christmas Traditions

I always LOVE the weekly Show Us Your Life over at Kelly's Korner and thought that I would participate myself this week! My family has a TON of traditions (I'm warning you now...some are kinda weird haha) so here are a few of them:

• When I was little I used to be OBSESSED with Babar the Elephant so my mom bought a cardboard cutout of him for my Babar birthday party. Now I have no idea how this started but my mom would always put out the cutout on Christmas Eve and when "Santa" would come "he" would put a bell on Babar's trunk. Kinda weird but we still have kept it up!
• We always open a Christmas present each on Christmas Eve.
  
• When decorating the tree my mom always hides a pickle ornament and whoever finds it gets to open their presents first.
• Before Christmas my mom and I always make Holiday Cookies together, and for Christmas my mom always buys her and matching PJs for us to wear on Christmas morning.

So there are just a few of my family's Christmas traditions...what are your family's traditions?

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow! For me the family fun (both good and bad haha) has already started...my mom has already made some,um, interesting comments towards me, and my aunt and uncle have only been here for less than an hour and are kinda driving me insane already. Oh well, I am SO happy that I'm home and spending Thanksgiving with my amazing family (as crazy as they may be) and I can't wait to watch the parade, dog show, top chef on bravo (I love their Thanksgiving marathons!) and eat all of the yummy food! Have a great holiday everyone!!
