Recognize this outfit? That's because I wore it just a few posts ago! Remember when I said I'd be wearing it to a luau while in Hawaii? Look who kept her word :)

This is probably one of my all time favorite dresses. Great print, great fit, LOVE the neckline...literally, everything about this dress is just awesome. THANK YOU Lulu*s for making my dress collection 1000x better with just one dress.

And this wraps up my Hawaii pictures...in other news, guess who left for college today!!!!

Last week I was in Charlottesville for orientation at UVa and BOY was it HOT! I felt like I was melting and my hair was frizzing off my head... not a good look, let me tell you.

So this week I've come up with some back to school outfit ideas to keep cool--cause in late August in Virginia, it's gonna be HOT. This top from Lulu*s is perfect because of the open sides and lacy trim. Of course, accessories are SUPER important for once I'm at school, so I'm starting to narrow down what I can bring to fit in my teeny tiny dorm...

These chained beauties from Marrin Costello definitely make the cut. Chain is so in and gold is always classic...I think that this necklace is going to be my alternative to "pearls"! At UVa, pearls are huge among the girls in sororities and for football games. I'm definitely planning on being both a sorority girl and a football fan, but I think I'm gonna put my own twist on classy with gold chain instead of the stereotypical pearls!

Can't believe I'm off in just a month. UVa I'm comin' for ya! :)

Here's what I wore on Day 1 of the three days I spent at the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware. My friend Katie and I (both rising First-Year Jeff Scholars at UVa) camped out and and enjoyed free drinks and extra perks because we had Press Passes. I also had a new experience...and that would be PUMPING MY OWN GAS! As a Jersey girl, I've never pumped gas before...so losing my gas-pumping virginity was a big big deal! Had to take a picture, obviously.

Wearing a short dress could be considered risky at a concert...especially because I was jumping up and down to the beat, sitting in the grass, and more. My secret? I ALWAYS wear spandex, a.k.a. athletic compression sports, underneath my dresses and skirts! It eliminates all my worry and let's me go about the day without having to check to make sure my butt isn't showing. Came in handy at Firefly, for sure!

Probably my favorite part of my outfit is the sunglasses. I've been wearing exclusively Giant Vintage sunglasses for about two years now, and just a day before Firefly got in a whole new shipment! This pair was my favorite--and they were glued to my face all weekend long! They are just SO festival-perfect. I love the flirty look of heart-shaped sunglasses and will definitely be breaking these out again this summer. Can't wait to show you the other pairs they sent me! HURRAY FOR GIANT VINTAGE!

SCHOOL IS OVER! Although I don't graduate until the very beginning of June, my school does a really cool thing called Senior Projects. I told you guys about this a while back but it only just started today, and so far it's been awesome! During the day I spent time with the friends I'm doing my project with and took lots of video. Then, in the afternoon I went to my friend Margaux's house to help her with her project--a makeup blog. 
And so, you may notice that my makeup looks a lot more prominent in these pictures! Margaux did my makeup and I thought it worked really well with this outfit! To keep up with her makeovers and to get some ideas of your own, check out her blog "MAKEUPBYMARGAUX".
