God Save the Queen...

...well, future queen: Kate Middleton. This lucky girl from Berkshire met Prince William while they were both studying at the University of St. Andrews. The couple began dating in 2001, broke up for a few months in 2007, and have decided to take the plunge (or a really slow toe-dip into the matrimonial waters - I mean seriously, they've been dating for ten years!) on April 29. Countdown to the most exciting marriage this decade: 62 days. Unfortunately, that's right in the middle of exam week (not that I really have the money to fly to England for a wedding I wasn't invited to anyway), so to celebrate the royal nuptials, Hannah and I have decided to wear ostentatious hats while watching the wedding on TV. Kate does love hats...
She also seems to like wearing tweed, pumps, and did I mention lots of hats? I always wanted to be British, but I guess dressing like the future queen is the closest I'll get... for now.

Hearts, love and all that jazz

Valentine's Day is by far one of my favorite holidays - not because of the extreme commercialism that happens today, but because everyone is so happy and expresses his or her love. I mean, I understand that when you love someone, you should show your love all 365 days of the year, but sometimes the little extra push of a holiday that we don't get off of school for (even though I'm quite convinced we should get this most fantastic of all lovey-dovey days off) in order to do something a little more special than the usual DVD and take-out (not that I have anything against that - it's one of my favorite date plans). Even if you're single, celebrate Valentine's Day with friends! Everyone needs love - not just significant others :) However you plan to celebrate today, remember to tell all those you love how much you care about them!

It's My Party...

...and I'll cry if I want to? I don't think so. It's my birthday! I finally made it through the teens and am now officially old. Since I'm a college student and can't exactly afford all of the fabulous clothes I wish I could buy myself for my birthday, I've put together 6 outfits based on my two current favorite trends: sequins and lace. (If I were really brave, I would have put them together, but right now, I'm in the mood for mixing colors, not textures.)

SUPER BOWL

Unless you've recently dropped off the face of the earth, you're aware that today is Super Bowl XLV! It's going to be a match up between the Green Bay Packers (the team I loved for about 10 years, so if you don't have a team, root for the Packers!) and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm not going to explain the logistics of this epic game (mostly because I still really don't understand football), so if you don't understand what's going on, just watch for the commercials like most people do. So whether you're watching the game for the football or for the cute boys sitting next to you, here are some outfit inspirations for however you're celebrating tonight.
