Smiley Sunday

Since I love a good band wagon (-lol-) I've decided to do a weekly theme post. The theme is.....

"Smiley Sunday" --Every Sunday my post will be dedicated to random thoughts, pictures, videos, people that make me smile, laugh, just in general make me happy = ) So, here we go the first "Smiley Sunday"



This is very true! Cellie + Vodka + Moi = BAD news!!!



This ALWAYS makes me laugh sooooo hard!!!! I'm a firm believer in the fact the God has an awesome sense of humor and is at this moment laughing his booty off with me = ) (and how effing cute is the Babel fish, I've always wished they were real so I could have one )

 
My baby girl Chanel 

That's all for now. More to come next Sunday !!!!

If you want to join me just grab my button before you go!!!

"Why Are You So Dressed Up?"


Today's post on College Fashion was one that is very close to my heart. That's right it was about 25 reasons why you SHOULD dress up.

Like her I despise the question "why are you so dressed up?" You think I'd be used to this question by now, since always be dressed up has been my moto since birth but no, it still gets to me. It especially gets on my nerves when it's said while I'm simply wearing a cute sun dress or jeans and a cute top. I want to respond with an "Oh, sweetie if you think this is dressed up we need to have one SERIOUS talk" but of course I'm a lady (at least I try to be hehe) so I simply say "Thank you, I just always feel better when I 'dress up.' "

You know what dressing up really does make me feel better! When you are dressed up you feel better, you stand a little straighter, walk a little sassier, and act a little more lady like. In addition to all of that you get treated better by people. As Dr Phil says "You treat people how to treat you" and if you're dressed like dirrty trash then that's how you'll be treated. Where as if you put even a little effort into your outfit you'd be treated so much better by people. Don't believe me, try it! On your next trip down the isles of Walmart leave the PJ's at home and wear a cute top, jeans, and flats instead. I bet you're shocked at all the positive attention you receive!

Miss Coco Chanel had the best advice on this subject, “I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.”

My Great Grandma also had an awesome opinion on this..."It's better to be over dressed then under dressed"
-I use these words of wisdom before I get dressed for any event I go to. I don't know about you but I would much rather be the girl in the dress at and event were everyone is wearing jeans then it be the other way around!!!!

Dressing up is something that unfortch has been lost on my generation. One just has to look in at any college campus to see the (awful) "college girl uniform" For those of you who don't know the uniform consist of uggs, VS Pink sweat pants, and a north face. I'm cringing right now just typing out that outfit! It really makes me long for the days when a girl wouldn't even consider going out into polite society without her gloves, hat, and of course pearls.

Now, I'm not saying that I've never been guilty of going to class in Pink sweats on a day when my sinuses were driving me crazy, but in all honestly I would have been just as comfy in leggings, long white shirt and scarf or even in a cute sun dress and cardigan. It also would have taken just as much effort to put on the cute outfit as it did to put on the sweats!

I guess you could blame my feelings about always looking my best on my Southern Belle heritage, the fact that I'm a sorority girl and my Fashion education. But I don't care!!! At least I know I'll always be ready and dressed appropriately for any situation I may find myself in!

I urge every girl reading to think about this next time you're getting dressed. Please take inspiration from Miss Jackie O, Coco Chanel, and my Great Grandmother...

Wouldn't you rather look cute for your date with destiny instead of looking like a hoopie?!

Most AAaaamazing Bra Ever!!!!


I just bought the greatest bra! It's by Sweet Nothings, and came from good old Walmart = p

The part that makes it soo amazing is, it has a built in lace cami piece (or as my mom calls it a "friend for your shirt"). This means if your shirt is a little low the lace shows and it looks like you're wearing a lacy tank, but without the added bulk/discomfort wearing a tank under certain shirts can cause. The bra it's self it suuper comfy too!

I got the black one today but I'm def going back tomorrow and get the white, and peach colored one!! Oh, and the best part it's only $11 !!!!!

You'll should make a pilgrimage to your local Walmart and get one for yourselves!!! The only draw back is if God saw fit to bless you in that area it prolly won't work for you. Because your blessings will cause the cami part to stretch out too much and then the whole point would be lost.

I'm Dorothy...


...I've got my Ruby Red Slippers on and I'm ready to start walking down the Yellow Brick Road.

I've recently, decided to (finally) hand over the reigns of my life to God. I HATE not being in control but I admit he does know better then I do, and he's never lead anyone wrong before.

What was my reward for this incredibly hard task you ask; well, not only was a weight lifted from me but I also had "A Ha moments" (Don't you just love those) they were:

-I now know that being a curator/program director at a museum will blend all of my passions in life. And therefore be a career I would enjoy.

-I need to just stay around here just until I'm done with Grad school. This way I can get more experience and have more time to figure out where I really want to live. All with the 'safety net' of being by my friends and family.

Right now, I'm applying to both School 1 and School 2 for History. **Fingers Crossed** it works out.

Speaking of working out. God has also been bring one of my fav quotes from one of my fav movies to my mind a lot "It will all work out alright in the end....I don't know it's a mystery"- Shakespeare in Love. This is how I've been feeling about this whole stich. I know it will work out in the end it's the 'how' that's the mystery and the fun part!

Now that I'm on God's Yellow Brick Road, let's hope that me and my Ruby Red Slippers don't go off course and end up being pelted by apples!!!!

The Best 4 (5 -lol-) Years Of My Life Are Over....Now What!

So I'm officially done with college and now I'm left with the question "what next".....with all the crazy thoughts/emotions that are running through me I can't help but think "thank god for my bestest" it's soooo insanely nice to have someone who's right there with you. Some who truly understands what's going on and will listen! Paris I don't know what I'd do with out you during this time of my life, I'd prolly go crazy that's what I do! -lol-

Last night my bestest told me about this sad but soooo true moving coming out called Post Grad and OMG soooo the story of my life right now! My fav line was when someone asked her what she was doing now and she answers "oh I'm keeping my options open" and the other girl goes "Oh, so you're unemployed" I laugh then sighed -lol- I can't wait to go see it with her. We're hoping that the happy ending the main character has (cause you know it will all turn out alright in the end) will give us hope!!!

Trying to figure out where to go to grad school are honestly harder then figuring out where I wanted to go to college was! I think I finally have a plan though, I'm going to apply to start the History program at School 1 -that way I'll have a "safety net" while I figure out my definite plans.

Job.....yeah I don't know unfortch the places I would LOVE to work either aren't hiring or they want somone with 8-10 years of teaching experiance!! REALLY! cause I'm sure I could totally handle working with the kids programs at a museum right now, no actual 'teaching experience.' I was thinking about applying anyway and hoping they're desperate enough to give me an interview. Cause I'm awesome at selling myself I just need a way to get into the interview! (I just made myself sound like a hooker -lol-)

So yeah I'm going to go put more stuff on Amazon and Ebay, HEY I have to do something until I get a job or someone decides to pay me and Paris for writting our awesome blog!
