Last Dance...

Tonight I have my possibly last fraternity date party of my college experience. My boyfriend, Daniel, is graduating in 2 weeks and will no longer be an active member of his frat.  Their Spring theme party is Riverboat Cocktail and I'm definitely going to miss it.
Looking back...

(Riverboat 2008)

I've had so many fun times with his fraternity and his friends. I'm really going to miss them and I can't wait for those weekends he will be visiting this Fall.

On another note...

I'm so excited for the new dress I'll be wearing tonight.... will def post a picture soon of it!

Tumblr vs. Blogspot

Have I made the wrong choice? Lately I've noticed most of my favorite blogs are powered by tumblr and I've started to feel left out... and then I came across this picture.

This can't be right! I own a Mac-- I'm automatically on Justin Long's Team!

A year ago today...

I was celebrating my sorority's annual Crawfish party... 

last year it was named "Riesling High" 

this year it is tomorrow and will be called Pi Phiathalon 

(a work out gear theme).

A bite of Summer Heaven

Yesssss... my favorite kind of salad. I <3 italian food.

The FedEx Kinkos guy made me cry before 9AM....

I'm going back to bed.
(But at least my dreadful Media Plan is done! And it's the weekend!!)

Cocktails!

Last night I tried my first Skinny Girl Margarita! As I've blogged before I am a HUGEEE fan of Bethenny Frankel! I didn't think the bar I was at was savvy enough to know how to make it so I pulled up the recipe on my blackberry to give the bar tender some guidance. (Side note: the bar tender added a splash of orange juice and I love love loved it, it took all of the bite off the tequila and made it sweeter). I recommend it to everyone!

Hooray!

It's official! 

I will be interning this summer in New York City!! 

I am so excited and relieved to finally know what my plans are. 

Look out world here I come!

Hope everyone has a Happy Hump Day!

A lot of my work is done, this semester is finally winding down!

Today I will be laying out for a few hours before my last computer science presentation!

This picture is from the cover of the movie Swimming Pool, although I did not like the movie this pic is amazing, I would kill to look like her!

Things I accomplished Easter Weekend Pt. 4

Got to meet my new baby cousin Allison-
on the day she turned one month old!

Her little limbs were so precious and she was asleep for most of the time but her eyes are the periwinkle color of her dress! Absolutely stunning!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend!

Things I accomplished Easter Weekend Pt. 3

Fell in love with a new type of flower-- 

not sure what these are called but I absolutely love these roses!

Oh, and I dyed easter eggs/shells as well... The one at the top was my favorite

Things I accomplished Easter Weekend Pt. 2

Mani/pedi-- Check!

Color: Chastity by Essie

Things I accomplished Easter Weekend Pt. 1

This weekend I bought a new pair of sunglasses at home from my favorite sunglass boutique Solstice!

They're marc by marc jacobs and I'm obsessed AND they didn't break my piggy bank~ yay!

The sales associate told me I looked "glamorous but fierce" haha

 And of course when I go online... they're on sale

ny-ceezy

Today was so crazy and hectic. I met with many more people than I had planned to for my interviews and I timed it wrong and got out of my first interview with only 15 mintues to get across midtown to my second! I luckily made it on time, but I have to say it is very hard to go from one interview to the next. Your brain has to change gears completely and with little time you really have to focus. I love the hustle and bustle of the city! Hopefully I will be working in NYC all summer and will get to enjoy more of it. Today was 70 and sunny, a perfect day to run around Manhattan. My dad and I had lunch at Oyster bar in Grand Central Station-- perfect for Good Friday! I thought it had delicious seafood and a really cool set up, definitely a place to check out. Hope everyone else had a great Friday!

Sunshine

84 and Sunny outside the Birmingham airport.

Got my first Green Tea Frappuccino from Starbucks today- 

Spring is here!

YUM!

Jet Set

Flying home for Easter weekend! I wish I looked as fly as Jackie O ^ but I'm much more comfortable in skinny jeans, silver sandals, and my green flowery top. This weekend I hope to: get a mani/pedi with my mom and buy a new pair of sunglasses! I will be in NYC Friday interviewing for internships this summer... wish me luck!

I Am Charlotte Simmons: A Novel

(one of my favs)

It's a girl!

My mom and my new baby cousin Allison-

who I will be meeting this weekend!

Procrastination...

Today instead of studying I looked up safe ways to clean my white MacBook. Anyone out there with a Mac knows how it can lose its pearly white shine within weeks. Online I found a fellow blogger and OCD clean freak that said glass cleaner works wonders... so I got to scrubbing...and presto! My laptop has never looked this good :) I was so pleased. But then the glass cleaner got the best of me and I started scrubbing down my whole bathroom until everything looked as good as new, and an hour went by, and now I only have 14 hours until my test on 5 chapters of nutrition - yikes!!

It's all happenin'...

(Almost Famous, 2000)

Monday Inspiration

 Necessary Nonfat Vanilla Latte-- getting me through this day.

Not to complain...

but this is going to be a week from hell. I have a 10 page research report and powerpoint on Palm Beach Tan due tomorrow, a 12 page research report and powerpoint on Airport Security due Tuesday, a Nutrition test on Wednesday and my biggest report (25 pages) on AMP needs to be done before I fly home Thursday. Not looking forward to it, and hoping I don't post too many procrastination posts within the next few days!

I stumbled across this picture of orange flowers, aren't they pretty?

Reminiscing... trip to Maine

This past summer my mother and I were driving to pick up my brother from camp and we decided to get a little touristy in Bath, Maine. She claims I have been to Maine before (which I don't remember)  so we had lobster rolls and did a little exploring. It was an incredibly dreary day but I loved the peacefulness I felt while we were there.

I took this picture by the little downtown shopping area. Everyone was out shopping because of the nasty weather. I don't have a photo but we also visited a gi-normous L.L. Bean! I loved the home section of the store- everything was covered in lobsters and had a Maine cottage feel. 

Steamboat Restaurant?

Serenity 

My mom and I joking around at Cook's- where we had the best lobster rolls ever!

Even the McDonald's was quaint :)

One week...

One week from today and I'll be in my hometown for Easter weekend. I can't wait. I have baby cousins who are 3, 2 and one month old and I cannot wait to see them scrambling around my parents backyard for the Easter Egg Hunt. It will be so adorable!!

Procrastination...

There are a thousand ways I procrastinate but right now at the top of my list is looking around ShopBop.com for clothes I don't need. I love shop bop and have actually been fourtunate enough to visit their only store in the US called "Bop" in Madison, Wisconsin. The website is wayyy better than the store, but in the summer for one week the store has one of the most amazing sales I've ever been to. I'm talking designer jeans for less than $50, amazing. I love the label Gorjana and right now at the top of my wishlist is their Greenwich Cross Body Bag. It seems so versitile, and the perfect day bag for summer. 

Hmmm, oh well. Back to studying :(

Good Read

Today would also be the best day to start a brand new book!
I recommend Firefly Lane it made me laugh, it made me cry and most importantly it made me think about life. It was so good it makes me want to read other books by Kristin Hannah.  

Sunshine

Today is suppose to be 75 degrees and sunny here! The perfect day to eat lunch outside! 

Hope everyone else has amazing weather on hump day!

I love Bethenny

I love Bethenny Frankel from The Real Housewives of New York City. To me she is positively hysterical and I could watch her all day every day. Espeically in Season 2 when she would mock Jill Zarin, I would find myself in stiches laughing so hard. And she is not just a funny lady, her book Naturally Thin is amazing, I could only hope my body will look as good as hers does when I'm 39. She is so bold too,  even posing naked for Peta's "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign.  

If you haven't heard of Bethenny Frankel I'd tune into The Real Housewives of NYC or read her book.

Greek Chicken Salad

I took a cue from La Mia Vita and tried out the recipe for the Greek Chicken Salad....it was so yummy!

I recommend it to everyone!

My attempted cooking skills in action.

Spring Break 2010!

Last week was my Spring Break! I went to Destin, FL and rented a house with 14 friends. It was so much fun, I went with a great group of people and it was so nice to get away... here are a few of the highlights my the trip:

The Boathouse 

If you are ever in Destin this Oyster Bar is so much fun! Packed with crazy locals and live music you are guarenteed a good time- we all went to the Boathouse 3 nights of the week!

The Boathouse's amazing Oysters

(If you don't like Oyster's their menu also includes other Seafood, 

Burgers, Grilled Cheeses, etc.- it's all good!)

Me and the BF

(Still pale because this was the first night of the trip)

Hula Hooping

Need I say more?

Legends of the Hidden Pool

Leave it to a group of boys to find a ball and make up a game to play in our cool secluded pool 24/7.

All the girls layed out during "game time".

St. Patrick's Day

It was so funny and amusing that our friend fell asleep in this position at the end of the night. 

Our Own Crawfish Boil

 This pic was self described as "fratty". 

And the crawfish were soo delicious.

In case you couldn't tell I loveee Seafood and the beach was the perfect place to enjoy so much of it. I had such a great week, but now it's back to the grind- of midterms, reports, and exams. :(

Tooooomorrow!!!

Tomorrow I leave for spring break! I am carpooling with my boyfriend, best friend, and my boyfriend's best friend (sounds funny). Campus is dead and I just can't wait to be on the way! I am horrrrible at packing. There is never a time where I can just do it and get it done with-- have you ever noticed you can't ever be completely packed the night before because you need to use most of your tolietries/makeup the day you leave? So it's always a scramble. I have been "packing" (attempting to) for the past 3 hours. I'm on my second load of laundry which is slowing down the process.

Sidenote: I believe in having your sheets changed, laundry done, room clean before you leave for a vacay because nothing is worse than unpacking AND cleaning on a Sunday.

At least all my "going out" options are folded neatly on my bed and my shoes are all picked out. And I just charged the battery and started playing around with my new camera! So excited.... crunch time though, need to eat super healthy because I will be on the beach in no time!

Au revior!!

I promise to take many pictures-- especially using my new sweep panorama mode!

Have a great weekend- and a wonderful week!

Day 5!

I did it!! I've run/walked 3 miles every day since Sunday- 5 days straight! And just when I was about to give up hope that any of this work was going to improve my Spring Break bod.. I stepped on the scale and had lost 5 lbs! I don't understand why I can't see the results that clearly, but I'm so proud of myself I don't care. Now I just have to run tomorrow and not drink too much Saturday when we get to the beach, because Sunday I will be in a bikini!
Go me!

(Note: this above photo is not demonstrating what I will be doing on Spring Break i.e. Spring Break is time for relaxation, not running)
