Being away at college is a completely different experience than staying home, living in your parents house and commuting.  I will always persuade people to go away to college because it'll be the best four years of your life. Nonetheless, being away at school is not just partying and living on your own; you still …

It's the start of the semester and I've never been so stressed in my life. I'm taking on a lot this semester; my first executive board decision, a few more major classes, writing for the school newspaper, and getting even more involved in my sorority. I'm still not settled into my room, we're still…

I start my Junior Year at Iona College on Monday and I could not be more excited! It's so different being a junior; everything isn't new and fresh but you still get that same back to school excitement. It's a great feeling knowing that you're going back to campus where you know the teachers, the lay of…

On Tuesday I embarked on a leadership retreat that my college was sponsoring for all student leaders in the upcoming academic year. They hold the retreat at a campsite in Pennsylvania every year and this year, since I was on the Greek Governing E-Board at my college, I got to go! It was truly a wonderful experience wh…

I mentioned before that I ordered a Kate Spade iphone case off Amazon and it finally arrived! I love it, its so adorable and seema pretty durable. I love the old fashioned look and feel to it. I think its great that it covers the entire phone for added protection. And it's just pretty, the packaging is adorable. K…

I have now entered the rest of the human race and got my first iPHONE yesterday! I am now the proud owner of a beautiful white iPHONE 4S. I've been playing around with it since I turned it on yesterday and haven't stopped yet! I've never loved a phone so much and I'm a HUGE technology junkie. I think m…

I've blogged about my love for Birchbox before and it just keeps getting better! This month's theme of the Birchbox was none other than Back to School; it's such a pleasure and treat to receive beauty samples and get a little gift every month. I am always so pleased with everything I get in the Birchbox,…

I've been on a shopping kick lately thanks to my summer paycheck but I need to calm down. I have been though, I haven't been ordering too much stuff because I realized I have a problem but that doesn't go without saying that I needed to get my last bit of shopping out before school starts. Back to school s…

I love Target...but who doesn't? It has everything you do and don't need. Please show me a person who has walked into Target and never walked out without purchasing something? It has EVERYTHING! That's why whenever I go, it's really dangerous and not good for my bank account. It's approaching the e…

I have a sick love for Taylor Swift; her songs are the soundtrack to my life and everything she does, turns to gold. I think she is really talented and has song writing abilities like no one else. I feel like she has gone into every teenage girl's brain and taken what we want to say, what we feel, and what we'…

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I have an obsession with nail polish. I have also discovered my love for monthly beauty boxes, such as Birchbox . Now I can combine my two loves when I stumbled upon Julep Maven ; a monthly beauty box where you sign up for $19.99 a month and receive two nail polishes …

Since I joined my sorority, Phi Sigma Sigma in October 2011, I've discovered my love for all things Lilly Pulitzer. I don't know if it's because I'm in a sorority but I just ADORE Lilly. My budget is tight so I don't own any Lilly clothing but I have accessories galore! I'm more of an accessori…

Online shopping is my addiction but frankly, a college student's salary just doesn't support the purchases I want. This summer I rediscovered the lovely Kate Spade and just fell in love with everything she puts out. I can't really afford everything I want from the website but I can fantasize, can't I? …

If you haven't noticed, monograms are taking over the world! Everywhere I look, I see another monogrammed product! In truth though, you can really monogram anything and everything; I have truly caught onto the obsession. When I noticed the trend a few weeks back, I immediately needed a monogrammed SOMETHING and ca…
