I've posted plenty of pictures in the past on my Instagram of various Lilly Pulitzer and sorority themed projects I've done for friends and as custom orders. I'm a big fan of crafting and I've finally opened an Etsy shop to offer a variety of pieces for purchase by my readers and fellow Lilly-lovers! I've been wanting to do this for a while and I'm super excited that I've finally gotten my shop up and running! Be sure to check out the shop page as I'll be adding to it over time. I'm also …

“Only The Best Get Picked” – Fall Bid Day ’14
As many of you may know from my Instagrams this weekend, my chapter held Fall Bid Day for informal recruitment this weekend! We got some absolutely AMAZING girls and I can't wait to see how they add to our chapter and flourish in Chi Omega. Our theme was very floral and was based on the phrase "Only the best get picked" Aren't we punny? ;) I wanted to share some more of the fun pictures from bid day and I didn't want to blow up anyone's Instagram or Tumblr feed, so here they are! Be sure to …
Week 1 Recap – Sophomore Year
I'm officially done with my first week of classes and I could not be happier to be back. There's something about being at school and being busy that automatically puts me in a great mood. I'm only feeling slightly stressed as I familiarize myself with a new schedule and living space, but that's to be expected. So far I really like all of my classes and teachers and I'm feeling pretty positive about this semester. It's going to be packed and require a lot of work, but I'm ready for …
My Sorority Recruitment Experience {video}
As many of my readers know, I'm in a sorority (and proud of it)! Last fall I took part in Panhellenic Recruitment on my college campus (aka Rush) and I joined my school's Chi Omega chapter! I get a lot of questions about Recruitment from readers who are considering rushing, so I thought I'd make a video talking a little bit about my experience! If you're planning on going through Recruitment, then I wish you the best of luck. It's an amazing experience if you go in with the right …

Beachin’
I absolutely love going to the beach, and I'll pick it over the pool any day. When I'm heading to the beach I usually throw on a tank, some Jacks, and a pair of Nike shorts. This summer I custom designed this adorable Chi Omega tank with Greek Streak. I picked out the print, color scheme, and tank style. I love the quote on the front and I think the mason jar design is so cute! I'll be getting plenty of wear out of this tank during the rest of the summer at the beach and then at the gym …
Friday Five
Happy Friday! It's been another busy week, but what else is new? I've been planning out the rest of my summer and I can't believe that I go back to school in less than two months! June has flown by, but July is going to be a packed month for me too. I'll still be working, but I'll also be getting my wisdom teeth out, traveling for a few days, and squeezing in as much beach time as possible. Here's what's new this week... 1. I've been switching up my perfume a little recently and I discovered a …
Chi Omega Formal 2014
This past Friday, my sorority had our formal downtown at Fulton's on The River. Many pictures were taken, there was plenty of dancing, and I had a blast with all of my sisters! We had a pretty view of all the buildings and city lights, and just as its name would suggest, the location was right on the river. I was so surprised and grateful to win a superlative as a freshman. My sisters voted me as "Most Creative Chi O" for our chapter! I had an absolutely wonderful time at my first formal and I …

Chi Omega, Yours Forever
This Sunday I became an initiated member of Chi Omega! New member no more, I'm officially an active! I was initiated alongside my friend Anna, who had been in the same rush group as me this past fall for recruitment. I had an amazing experience right before my initiation. I posted on my Facebook timeline that morning about how it was my initiation day when one of my cousins commented that my great aunt had also been in Chi O! I had no clue that she had been a Chi Omega, or greek involved at …
