Graduation Party!

  I don't know if I'll ever get a hang of blogging regularly, no matter how much I'd like to. But for now I'll just have to catch up on everything I've been meaning to post!

  Starting with my graduation party on June 2nd. I had a lot of fun and got to see many of the people I love all in one place. And it was so fun buying all the party supplies and decorating for the event! I decided to go for a Lilly Pulitzer-esque theme because who doesn't love Lilly?

  Here are some pictures from the party! My mom ordered the cake from a local bakery, but it came plain blue with "Congratulations Alex" in the middle. I bought a can of icing and dyed it into 6 different shades of pink and green and actually painted the flowers on with a paintbrush myself! It was time consuming but very worth it!

Outfit of the Day 3/12

I had class today, and I'll be off to babysitting in a few minutes, so I wanted to be cute yet practical.
 
My mom went to Potomac Mills Outlets over the weekend and picked me up this J Crew "Perfect Shirt" in pink gingham. So comfortable and versatile! My leggings are from New York and Company and are probably 2 or 3 years old. This green Eddie Bauer rain jacket is perfect for spring and I've had it for a few years as well. My Cole Haan boots are probably my most worn shoes of my collection (and trust me, I have a LOT of shoes). They are so comfortable (infused with Nike Air technology) and despite being worn so often are in great condition. As usual, I'm wearing my Kate Spade watch, and today I wore a ring that my grandma gave me over the weekend. It's real gold and was her mother's growing up. I thought it was so unique and it fit my finger perfectly! The earrings I picked up from a thrift store a few weeks ago. I only paid $1 for them! My skull necklace is from Nordstrom - it's so delicate and simple and the best part is it can be worn long or doubled! Cute way to add a little bit of an edge to a preppy outfit ;)
