The Best Time of the Year

What is the first thing you do once Thanksgiving has ended? For me, I am not a Black Friday shopper. It is just too much for me. Instead, I like to clean my house and decorate for Christmas!! It is seriously my favorite time of the year!! As some of you may know, I am a senior in college this year. This meaning, I was able to go buy my very own Christmas tree to decorate. How does it look?

I absolutely love the burlap craze going on these days. All I did was buy a roll of burlap ribbon and wrap it around my tree. I was able to buy two rolls and use them all to make my tree and the bow. Send me pictures of your tree! I would love to see! I will be posting some of my favorites!! 

DIY Monogram

Looking for a good background for your computer? Well read this! I am absolutely obsessed with my monogram background. You can choose your colors too! There are a few ways to get yours. I think the best way to do this is to start here:

1. For Chic Sake

2. Then pick a color from the ones pictured below

3. All you do is follow the directions & bam! You're all done! 

Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Back to School, Back to School

If you are anything like me, you absolutely love back to school shopping. From new clothes to actual school supplies, it's an absolute blast. One thing that is on my list to get each school year is a Lily Pulitzer Agenda. Every girl needs one! This year I chose this patterned agenda:

This particular agenda is the 2104 jumbo agenda. I know that $34 is a little pricey, but there is free standard shipping & will arrive super quick! It even comes with a few stickers for the kid in you. So start this school year off with a little organization in a fashionable way. 

What's something that's on your back to school list each year?

Looking for your summer drink?

Well look no further! I have found the best summer drink & have decided to share it with you all. This drink is perfect for parties or just to cool you down. And they are called...drum roll please....Wine Slush! Here is a picture of all the ingredients that we used.

What you will need:

1. One can of Five Alive (frozen)

2. One can of Limeade (frozen)

3. One bottle of White Zinfandel

4. Gingerale

All that you have to do is mix the Five Alive, Limeade and White Zinfandel in a gallon pitcher and mix. Then you add the Gingerale, but leave approximately 2 inches at the top because this mixture of goodness will expand. After that you let it freeze and get out about 30 minutes before you want to drink. Then slush it up! Here is what they will turn out like. 

Have any of you tried these before? What did you think? Enjoy!

Goooo dawgs! Sic 'em!

Meet Bailey!

Meet my precious little bundle of joy, Bailey! This coming August, I will be moving back to the classic city, Athens, & will be living all by myself. Therefore, I adopted me a little kitten. I think she is the perfect thing to keep me company.

As some of you may or may not know, Petsmart does adoptions from local shelters every Saturday! That is where I met my little Bailey. I knew the moment I saw her that I had to have her. If you are thinking of getting a new puppy or kitten then please check your local shelters! I had no idea how many cuties there were! I also had no idea that the shelter in my county is a kill shelter. Can you say heartbreaking? The adoption fees are really reasonable and most of the time will include all of their first shots & to be spayed or neutered. Petsmart also gave me a little booklet filled with coupons & I got everything a kitten could ever need for $17!

Bailey and I hope you have a fantastic Sunday and consider getting a furry friend from your local shelter very soon!
