Tis' The Season...

 My family seems to be spreading out farther and farther. This Christmas Caroline and I managed to visit family in Miami and Orlando. While in Miami I came to the obvious realization that I am obsessed with my aunt's apartment. It's almost entirely white yet surprisingly warm and she goes all out for the holidays, my next apartment will be inspired by her classic good taste!

Love the recently reupholstered couches-great way to update furniture!

Perfect Bar Cart

Love the art on this wall-so simple and elegant.

I love that her Christmas tree has no star because it hits the ceiling. Also you can't tell from this photo but this tree is candy themed, wrapped in peppermint garland and glittery sweets!

            Every nook of this place was perfectly decorated, never cluttered but always considered!

 Love these white poinsettias with the pearls in the center.

Caroline and I before the family holiday party in Miami!

 By far my fave holiday look yet. Cardigan: Ann Taylor Loft,

Skirt: Thrifted, Emerald tights: J.Crew,

Tartan headband: J.Crew 

 Can't wait to start putting the ideas for my next place together! And can't wait to see my aunts again soon! Big xoxo to Sandi and Sonia for putting up with Caroline and I!

Obsession of the Week: Tartan

I would have thought after a decade in Catholic school plaid skirts I would hate tartan but I just can't. Even more at Christmas do I find myself loving the green and red pattern, so here is a little about it.



"Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours."     -Thanks wikipedia!

Here are some pics of my favorite pieces right now!


First up is a gorgeous strapless dress from Alexander McQueen:

Dress from Lyst




This dress would be perfect for a Christmas party....or a Scottish wedding! It reminds me of Charlotte's dress in SATC-just wish I could find a full length pic of her dress!

According to the ever brillant Mari McMurray plaid on plaid will soon be trending. She's deemed it the Scottish tuxedo, in honor of the Canadian Tuxedo before it. As she is the most fashionable person I know I would be will to stake my reputation on her being right...

Gators Looking Hot in 2013

We all know at heart I'm a Southern girl and therfore when football season starts to come to an end I do what any girl would, I focus on recruiting for next year and basketball. For the most part my girlfriends do not understand or follow recruiting, and yet the ones that I have forced to learn have come out loving it. The more you understand about the game the more fun it is. So here is a quick-

Girls Guide to Recruiting:

So here is a look at the HOT Gator class coming up next year, and I have to say I can't wait for Coach Boom to get ahold of these guys and work them into one cohesive team--I'm seeing a National Championship in 2 years!

So the names you gonna be hearing a lot over the next 4-5 years (and keep in mind this isn't even half of the amazing talent looking to play for Florida I just didn't want to overwhelm y'all all at once) are as follows Vernon Hargreaves III, Marcel Harris, Darious Cummings, Jordan Sherit, Ahmad Fulwood, Quinton Powell, Keanu Neal, Kelvin Taylor, Nick Washington, Adam Lane, and my personal favorite Caleb Brantley.

Now why is CB my favorite? Is it his undisputable talent? No. It's the fact that he showed up to FSU, in Gator gear and started chompin'! Love that a) he's already getting pumped for 4 years at UF and b) when those trashy FSU fans tried to hate on him and make false accusations as to illegal school visits he handled himself like a true Gator-he remained classy while obviously mocking the ignorance that is Florida State.

So is everyone ready for another National Championship?? Because I am and I think these guys are gonna give it to us!!

Meagen Franks and me at NC 2008

So ladies and gents, this is obviously a Gator-centric post, but that's because I love my school and I highly doubt that I have more than 3 FSU readers....
