I Love My...
Currently, I'm LOVING my Lilly Pulitzer academic agenda. This school year just started, and I already feel like I'm drowning in work, between school, sorority, and extracurriculars. I love the Lilly agenda because its large enough to give me space to map out my days, but also incredibly fashionable. Granted, I am by no means a die hard Lilly fan, but I definitely appreciate a good organizational tool when I see one!

Sorority Recruitment Outfits!
Oh. My. Goodness. I don't even know where to begin with why I've been so MIA. Between my last days of work, saying bye to friends, packing for school, and moving up I've been swamped. However, I am happy to report that my new apartment room is almost complete! I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as possible.
Anyways, with recruitment right around the corner, this post is long overdue. Without further delay, here is a guide to what to wear for each round of sorority recruitment.
Round One: Spirit Round
In most cases, this round serves a brief introduction to every chapter on campus. PNM's spend about 20 minutes maximum in the houses. During this round, you will interact with different chapter women in order to get a sense of what the chapter is about. Some houses even perform pop-up skits-- a short presentation where different members "pop-up" and tell you facts about the house.
What to Wear: Most school provide a standard T-shirt for all PNM's to wear. The round is meant to be casual, so khaki, jean, or printed shorts and sandals or other comfortable shoes is acceptable.
White shorts// printed shorts// jean shorts
Tip: DO NOT WEAR WEDGES OR HEELS. Not only will you be extremely uncomfortable by the end of the day, but you will also look the girl who can't follow rules and tries too hard.
Round Two: Philanthropy Round
In this round, you will spend about 30 minutes in each remaining house on your list, getting to know chapter women better and learning about the house's philanthropy. Most houses have crafts laid out for you to work on together. This round is meant for you to understand what each particular chapter stands for, and for both the chapter women and yourselves to gauge if you would be good fit to the house.
What to Wear: This round is also very casual. A simple sundress, skirt and top, or nice shorts is acceptable. Again, sandals or comfortable shoes is expected, and heels are not permitted.
Green printed dress// Mint Dress
Tip: Don't feel pressured to make the craft; it's completely optional. If you are really getting into the conversation at one house, don't feel the need to break it up for the craft. The house WILL NOT judge you for it.
Round Three: Video Round
During this round, each sorority will present a short video that highlights what their house is all about. As a PNM, it's very important to pay attention! Take note of the activities the girls participate in, and see if you can imagine yourself in the photos as well. You will spend about 40 minutes in each remaining house, so be sure to use the time wisely to grow your connections in the houses.
What to Wear: A light sundress or outfit that you would wear to a summer wedding are appropriate for this round. It is okay to wear heels or wedges, as long as they are comfortable.
Green and white flowers dress// Coral lace dress
Tip: Pack a pair of flip flops or sandals to wear in between parties to make walking a little more comfortable and easier to manage.
Round Four: Preferential Round
The last and final round of recruitment is the most important one. In this round you will spend 50 minutes in your final houses. You will be allowed to perform part of each chapter's rituals as well as spend time talking to a chapter woman. This is the final round, so make it count! If you are pref-ing at a house, they definitely want you. This round is about figuring out where your best fit is and what your heart wants. Remember, these will be your sisters for the next four years, so be sure to take it seriously.
What to Wear: Cocktail attire works well for this round. Flats and sandals are absolutely not permitted, as heels are expected during this round.
Tip: Practice walking in your heels before rush. During this round, chapter women tend to call you from outside, and you don't want to trip and fall! This is the most important round, so be prepared!

Sorority Game Day& Outfits!
There's less than a month until the first game day! The prospect of frolicking around Frat Row going from pre game to pre game and then finally to the stadium to cheer on my team in the student section makes me giddy with excitement. If you don't know what I'm talking about, visit a friend at an SEC school. You'll get it.
Here are few pictures from my favorite games last year. Consider this post half throwback half examples of outfits. I hope y'all enjoy my brief trip down memory lane!
What do you like to wear to football games?

Rain Rain Go Away
You would think a typical week in Florida would be hot, hot, hot. Recently though, not so much. Every day has been a monsoon at one point or another. You don't quite know exactly when it's going to start pouring, but every day it does.
This past week was also the start of my second temporary job during the summer, so I was pretty busy! My old high school coach asked me to come back and act as a soccer coach for his yearly soccer camps that he holds during the summer. This year, I was assigned to the 9-11 year olds... needless to say, I was exhausted.
Throw in a car ride home in the pouring rain, and 5 o'clock traffic, and I was pretty much the most miserable 20 something on the roads. However, waiting in stand-still traffic got me to thinking about all the cute rainy day accessories I wish I owned. I envisioned myself in a great pair of Hunter rain boots and a killer rain jacket.
These are some particularly fabulous accessories I wish I owned.
Bubble Umbrella//Burberry Umbrella//Floral Printed Raincoat//Dotted Raincoat//
Tory Burch Jacquard Rain Boots//Jimmy Choo Hunter Rain Boots
What rainy day accessory do you use the most?

Looks I'm Loving: Chambray
Recently, I've been really into experimenting with patterns and textures when it comes to clothing. Summer time makes this especially easy since everything has such an easy and carefree vibe. As I was hunting through my closet looking for different pieces to put together to make new outfits, I discovered that some of my favorite, most versatile items were my chambray shirts. I have one that is light washed with some fading on it and another that is much darker and a button up. I love them both, and find myself reaching for them more and more often to pull an outfit together. Here are a few of my favorite pairings for chambray shirts.
1. Over a cool pair of pants

I wore my darker chambray shirt tucked into a cute floral skirt like the one above and got sooo many compliments. It's an interesting and eye-catching combination.
4. Over an unusual pair of shorts
