Spring has Sprung!

It's officially the first day of spring, and even though it's a little chillier than I would have liked, I've been over winter since December 21st, and I'm ready for the new season. I can't wait to wear dresses and pink nail polish, run outside and actually open the windows in my apartment! I love all of the light pastel colors associated with spring, and I have been browsing for some clothing and accessories in the perfect spring shades.

Spring Break

It's that time of year when spring fever infects us all...but those who are in college (and not yet part of the real world) get to take a week long break to vacation in a tropical place that temporarily cures our aching for warmth. In less than two weeks, I will be one of those lucky college kids to go on my first ever spring break vacation with my friends. I am immeasurably excited for my trip, but inevitably, packing is going to be stressful...especially when attempting to fit everything into a small carry-on to avoid checking luggage (ever since I saw "Meet the Parents," I have a fear of lost luggage) 

While sunscreen and a good, girly novel are clear spring break necessities, there are some other (more fashionable) essentials needed. Since most college students work all summer and empty out their bank accounts just to take this coveted trip, it is imperative that all preparatory purchases are inexpensive.
