Flats on flats on flats

Hey lovies! I hope everyone's enjoying their weekend, I've been waiting for what seems like forever for it to finally get here! I'm still extremely stressed and busy with school, my sorority, tennis, and working (not to mention trying to keep up with friends and family!) I feel like I literally never have a free moment and it's still soo overwhelming dealing with everything right now. If anyone has any good tips for relieving stress, that's not time consuming, I would love to get some advice! On a brighter note, one AMAZING thing I did this week was attend an impromptu afternoon concert held by Hunter Hayes! He was in town with Carrie Underwood and did a pre-show performance at a local bar/restaurant. A couple friends and I heard about it on the radio the morning of and decided to skip class and take a little adventure! It was great because it was at noon on a Thursday so it was a very exclusive and private show. I absolutely adore him so seeing him in that intimate of a setting was the best experience ever!

I just love him so much 

Another reason I've been looking forward to this weekend is because my mom, grandma, and aunt came into town yesterday! We spent the day shopping which was exactly what I needed to get my mind off this crazy week. I made some great purchases but I think my favorite was my new Cole Haan ballet flats (dying with excitement inside) from Nordstrom Rack! I've been wanting a nice pair of flats forever and I'm so happy I found a quality pair and got the best deal on them :) I feel like it's the perfect weather for flats right now because it's still a smidge too warm to wear boots, my feet and legs get way too hot! I'm a little obsessed with flats right now which is funny because I used to hate them - I thought they made my feet look big...haha but now I definitely appreciate them and their classiness so much more! Here are some more amazing flats that I'm lusting over, if only I had unlimited funds to buy them! Oh well, it makes getting a really nice part that much more special. The middle, shimmery ones are the ones I bought today :)

Favorite flats
Tory Burch flat heels, $290 / Sam Edelman animal print ballet flat / Vera Wang ballet flat shoes / Kate Spade wedge heel shoes / Cole Haan grey ballet flat / Kate Spade ballet shoes flat

Let me know what you think and enjoy this beautiful weekend!

Let's play catch up

Wow, it's been WAY too long since my last blog post. I've missed the blogging world and I promise I haven't forgotten about all my lovely followers! I've been ridiculously busy with school, recruitment, work, and tennis starting up again this year! I was feeling very overwhelmed at first but everything's starting to settle down now that recruitments over (which went amazingly) I'm so thrilled to get to know all our beautiful new members! Here's a couple pics during bid day and recruitment! These first couple weeks back at school are always the hardest (and most fun!) Still adjusting to my ridic crazy schedule but it's better to be busy than to be bored right? I think so at least :)



Anyway, I was graciously nominated for the Liebster Blog Award by a fellow Midwest Prepster, A. Whitney. Go check out her blog, I love it! Since I've already received the Liebster Blog Award (twice, haha), I don't think I need to do the 11 facts about myself again but here's the links to my previous Liebster posts if you'd still like to see some random facts about moi :) Post 1 and Post 2. Here's my answers to A. Whitney's questions!

1. What is your favorite word? This is interesting, I've never thought about what my favorite word is. Hmm...I'll have to go with "woooo!" If anyone's seen How I Met Your Mother, you'll understand what a woo girl is. Haha it's kind of a running joke between some friends and I, we like to pretend we're woo girls.

2. What is your idea of happiness? For me, happiness is the little things that have the ability to brighten my day. Whether it's a card from my mom, a great conversation with a friend, or a vanilla latte, it's small, random things that make me the happiest.

3. Where is your favorite place to shop? Don't even get me started...Nordstrom is my go to for shoes and purses. I like to buy my clothes from Banana Republic, J. Crew, Gap, and any department store or boutique.

4. What is one thing you want people to remember you for? I want people to remember me for being a kind and generous person. Maybe someone that could brighten their day if they're having a bad one. A lot of people say I'm always poised so that's a good thing to be remembered for too.

5. Rainbow's or Sperry's on a guy? Sperry's...I don't do mandals.

6. Favorite after work/school treat? Lately it's been making the snack size kettle corn! I also love making passion tea to relax with after a long day.

7. What is on the top of your wish list for fall? I reeeeallly need new ballet flats. I'd die for some Tory's but a simple nude pair will suffice as well!

8. Cupcakes or brownies? Brownies, much easier to eat!

9. What quality do you most admire in people? I admire people that have that leader quality about them. There's always times in life when no one wants to take responsibility for anything and I think that when that one person steps up and is a leader, it really can change a lot.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? I'd like to be welcomed with a glass of champagne and have God say my Grandma is waiting to meet me.

My Questions

1. What's your favorite movie quote?
2. Team Gale or Team Peeta?
3. What's your go to outfit for a night out?
4. Who's your biggest celebrity crush?
5. Who's your biggest inspiration?
6. Mac or PC?
7. Thoughts on 50 Shades of Grey?
8. What has been your biggest accomplishment in life thus far?
9. What's your favorite part about blogging?
10. Favorite food?
