Um I Graduated?

So I graduated this weekend. Um...what?!? How did time fly by this quickly? I thought I was pretty comfortable with the idea of graduating but I have to say, I did get emotional. As I walked with my best friend down UVA's lawn, holding each other like two cheeseballs, I realized I'll never get to do this again. I'll never sit on the lawn on a nice day after class, I'll never pop into the library for an iced coffee, I'll never force my bestie to grab a sandwich at Take it Away with me. All those moments are over. Even though I miss them already and transitioning is a scary time, I am excited to see what this new stage of my life has in store for me.

An Elsa Affair...

I love Lilly Pulitzer Elsas. There right up there with olives and chocolate to me. You can throw one on with jeans, black pants, shorts, sandals, wedges..whatever! They make any outfit fun and put together.
This print from a year ago is still my all time favorite, and I wear it all the time

Here are some great prints from this season:

Happy Mother's day to the biggest inspiration in my life, my Mom.

I Like Big Parties..They are More Intimate

 I'm obsessed with The Great Gatsby. 

I loved it. I haven't loved a movie this much in a long time. Fitzgerald's novel came to life in the actors, the costumes, the scenery..it was all spot on. Since the book can be a bit vague at times, I thought it was interesting the movie spelled out all the metaphors and symbols. At some points it was like my AP English Literature teacher was standing on the screen announcing what the green light meant, but it allowed the movie to flow well and made it very clear to those who hadn't read the book like my Dad. I can't believe how much Fitzgerald's message about fame, wealth, and partying still holds true in our society today. It's a timeless read and a breathtaking movie. Not to mention the soundtrack is to die for to.

Ps: Tiffany's provided most of the diamonds for the movie and you can order your own. Grad gift anyone?
