Feeling Crafty

I rarely ever make 2 posts in one day, but I just had to share this with you guys! Today while I was in line to pay for my breakfast, I saw a sorority girl with a recruitment shirt on that I loved! The slogan was "You can never have enough friends or dresses when they're the perfect fit!" I adapted it a little and made this:

Mine says, "You can never have enough friends or dresses, especially if you're lucky enough to find the perfect fit!" I found a photo of a Lilly shift and thought that it was simply perfect!

I got this fabulous frame as a gift from the Lilly store for a graduation gift. Its from PotteryBarn and I love the silver ball decals, not to mention its engraved with my name! You can see all the reflections around my room and my desk calendar so it looks a little funny in a photo but trust me, I love it on my desk. Usually my desk is super cluttered, so you can't see the photos, but since I'm most likely bringing guests back tomorrow I want things to look presentable! I have photos from my Senior year homecoming, a hand-drawn "Story People"-esque print, a photo of my dad and I from when I was like 5, a picture of me and my best friend Emily, a family photo that I adore from my Baccalaureate ceremony (we all look really nice and I'm in my favorite J. Crew jacquard dress), a picture from the summer before Senior year where 2 of my friends are stacked on top of me and we're all laughing (Its cute because it was very spur of the moment AND I'm in a Lilly seersucker swimsuit. Its not very flattering but it reminds me of SUCH a fun day) and then of course the photo I posted yesterday of my Pink Crab loves!

If you're feeling crafty, make a print like mine and post it! Its too cute!

DORM-itude!

WE MOVED IN!!!!!

This is our fabulous room!! This is my desk, organized yesterday!
This is my closet...enough Lilly? I've organized it by color and then black sections and the color and black again!
This is the bathroom-ish view of our room. My bed's the pink one and Kathleen's bed is the blue! Above our window, the wall jets out and we have a HUGE "Carolina Gamecocks" banner hanging.
Our little sink. Each room has its own sink and we share a shower and toilet. The rug's from Target and Kathleen and I have a towel on each side of the sink. Hers are blue and mine are...pink.
This is my bed again! The board on my bed is from work and hangs on my closet door!

I'm a little pressed for time, but check back. Sorority stuff starts TONIGHT! Woo Hoo! Updates for sure!!

1 Month!

One month from today, I will be moving into my dorm at USC! I found out my suitemate today and both girls seems awesome! Not the scary worst nightmares I had been worrying about!! Yay! I did some more dorm shopping, including my computer! Apple has this great deal if you show a student ID you get $50-$100 off a computer, a free (after rebate) iPod touch, and a free (after rebate) printer! I am so so so excited! Its getting closer!! I can't believe it! 

On another note, I'm going to rush in the fall. I'm super excited and there are so many sorority choices at USC that its crazy. They have the most ridiculous houses for sororities and fraternities. They are unbelievable. I've heard a lot about which ones to join (and not to join) and I think I have some ideas, but does anyone have advice? Its very early, but I'd rather go into the whole thing with a plan and know a little about it before it gets crazy. Believe it or not it begins the first day of school!

I can't believe its only 1 month away. Let the real countdown begin!

Can Martha Stewart Fix This Frat?

I think that this commercial is too funny! I would love to be the fraternity house designer at school! The Greek Village (GV) here is unbelievable!! The houses are gorgeous and all professionally decorated so there isn't any of this:

The USC Greek Village looks like this, instead:

The 4-story Chi Psi house

The GV entrance and the Lambda Chi Alpha house

Think, being Martha Stewart + Fraternity Boys + House Designing + Shopping for Decorations + helping them clean up their act = VERY MUCH FUN! I saw this commercial the other day for Macy's and thought that if you hadn't seen it, it's definitely a good one!!

PS. Drinking a Sonic Cherry Limeade...you should definitely try one! I am going to miss Sonic a lot when I go home back up North!!
