This is My Grown Up Christmas List




Attention! Attention! It has arrived--My Christmas List. I'm sorry, but there is truly no time to develop a Christmas Power Point this year, so a blog post will have to suffice. It's really become quite difficult to develop a Christmas list these days. Thanks to Pinterest, I find things all the time that I would want, but then forget about it until its too late (Bauble Bar Opal Teardrops...) so these are just big things that I could remember.
Last year, I somehow had two black peacoats (one was found
in my car, I have no idea whose it was), and this year I am
down to none. It's cold ya'll. And this one is on sale today
for $35, regularly $65, and there is a 30% off code to use too!
***Update: went ahead and purchased this (Thanks, Mother!) using the 
30% off code--totaled at $33 after code and shipping costs. Go! Now!***

I love the Mother of Pearl in the Sincerity ring ($55), 
paired with the pink band ($35). I am a size 7 in rings
(showroom size), so I love getting rings because they
pretty much always fit perfectly *see engagement ring*! 

After doing some research, this Canon PowerShot seems to deliver 
the best in the word of affordable point and shoot cameras.
I really need a small one to keep in my bag for work, and at $129,
and pink, this one seems like a winner!

Inspired after that pricey J. Crew piece a while back,
this Etsy find is a steal at $25. I love all chunky
chain pieces, and you can't pass up a good sparkle!

Size 8 please. Gold medallion. And
they're 20% off at Nordstrom right now!

Okay, this is my "yeah right" wish. I am dying to have these
beautiful baubles, but they are mighty pricey. Though you
can get 20% using the code: "gift" ...


And if that's not enough inspiration, feel free to check out my Pinterest boards for additional ideas! ;-)



Happy Birthday, Christopher!





     Happy birthday, doll! Birthday season for the two of us kicks off a reminiscent time of year for our relationship. The first time we ever hung out was on my 20th birthday at the Statesboro Fair. Then, we attended my sorority's formal on his 20th birthday a few weeks later. December 7th marks the day we officially became a couple, and then we are into the Holiday Season, which is always so much fun. I love this time of year, and this man more than anything!
     I couldn't have made it through the last six months without him as I've gone through some of the hardest, most trying times I could have ever imagined. He is always there to listen to me, and hold me when we are together. Even though we are miles and hours apart most days, he always makes me smile. I never imagined that the guy who I wasn't sure totally liked me after like, three months of dating would be the one I would spend my life with, but I am eternally grateful for the surprises he brings to my world daily! Loves you.
     After spending the weekend celebrating Christopher's birthday with presents, fun with friends, and the best pumpkin pie gelato, we are looking forward to a great weekend in Atlanta at the Elton John concert! I can't wait!

Throwback Thursday: Homecoming Edition




Georgia....Southern...!!! 
Whose house? Our house! 

It's that time of year again--Homecoming! I've missed the campaigning, voting, socializing, and Doo-Dah-ing of Georgia Southern Homecoming Week so much this year! I can't wait to spend Saturday on campus with all of my Phi Mu sisters and GSU friends tailgating and reminiscing. It's going to be so strange to attend the alumni brunch at the Phi Mu house as an actual alumni for the very first time. In honor of this fun-filled weekend, here are a few of my favorite football pics!

Football Season 2011, a.k.a. the day I grew a sixth toe,
had multiple wardrobe malfunctions/changes, and sprained my ankle

and my bestie roommate, McKenna!
