Such an Exciting Day!!!

First OoB (Order of Business): I got my first blog tag today! Thanks to The Tale of a Southern Belle, I was tagged! I couldn't be more excited!! There are few things that make me more excited than people liking what I write. I can't believe it! Yay!

Second of all, I've recently been having self-induced phone problems. Yuck. Like two weeks ago I accidentally dropped my phone in a cup of apple juice in the car. (I gave up soda and it was from my way to school, so yes, I did in fact have a cup of apple juice in my car). The cup holder is right next to this little spot in my civic where my phone sits perfectly. Well, with the slip of a hand, there went my phone...then I picked it right up, fast fast! We (there were two other girls in the car) dried it off, and then not knowing cardinal rule numero uno of phone wetness (fyi that rule is keep all parts separate and dry battery face up and phone body face down), kept all the parts together. Well, little did I know any wetness in your phone can lead to short circuiting even if you dry the surface off. Well, today I went to the BestBuy Mobile store to get all my contacts converted to of of my friend's old phones. On my way back to the car, the bag display at Nordstrom's struck me. First in the little window was a patent yellow/straw Kate Spade bag we have at the store, so I was immediately excited! Then I looked over to one of the other racks and saw these Dooney and Bourke bags: How cute are these?! On top of their adorable-ness, they are only $135 for full size D&B bags! In looking on the website to find these pictures, they also have a fabulous seersucker bag too! Post prom, my budget will definitely have to find room for one of these puppies. This is called the "Victoria Bag" and I think it is my favorite shape. It comes in 22 color combinations so there is certainly one to match your wardrobe needs. I just love these bags! They were enough to make me go out of my walking-to-the-car path to look at them up close and inquire about the price. Check them out asap, they're good for a preppy closet!

Thanks for the tag!

New Picks from Vineyard Vines

Now I know that recently VV hasn't gotten the best rep for some of their designs, but I'm loving some of their current stock!!
I am LOVING this oxford. I love all the different prints and the underside of the collar!! I also just like the name...Party Shirt!! 

I think this top is TDF! I love the pink and green and all the intricate details. I'd definitely recommend checking out the shirt on their website to see the back and all the details of the print on the top. It is very Hermes if you ask me!

These VV shorts are right up my alley. I like both colors that the shorts are designed in, and the 5'' length is perfect for everyone. As I've called them before, 5'' shorts are a tall girl's short-shorts!! They have this Pear color and a Coral color that have baby stars on them! So cute!

I'm a HUGE VV tote bag fan! I have two of my own that get used 24/7 for general bags, shopping totes, bookbags in class, you name it! I think this bag is super functional for any of those uses because of all the pockets! I wish my current VV totes had a place for a water bottle (or Diet Coke for me...oops!) that I could stick something in without worrying about how close it was to my computer. With a drink pocket, there's at least a little barrier between the liquid and the important stuff! This also comes in Natural (shown here is the Flamingo) that has more traditional patchwork colors: red, navy, yellow, etc. Both are great options!

I am SO happy VV is bringing back their big hat. Either last year or 2 years ago, they had a straw hat that sold out faster than anything else that was in the LP store I worked in. We showed them hanging on a flight of stairs in the store, and everytime someone saw one, they tended to snag one. The great thing about this one is that you can add a grosgrain ribbon or another sash in place of the blue one to match every outfit! So fun!!

I want this so much! VV just brought out a rain umbrella full of patchwork prints that is adorable! I love all the nautical/water prints, just like the rain! I'd love to pull this out on a rainy day on campus and show this baby off!

I am getting ridiculously excited for spring break! I have a test or two this week and then I'll be all ready to go! I'll add a post about what I'm gonna pack for my vacay to...Turks and Caicos!!
