Unintentional Hiatus

I had all good intentions of becoming a blogger and faithfully posting about the events in my life. Then I realized it is very easy to live those events, but not quite as easy to take time to write them down.

This summer so far has been one of the most hectic times in recent memory. Between preparing to apply to college this fall (the Common App opens in 4 days!!!!!), going on family vacations, and working almost everyday, I am a pretty tired lady when I finally have time to myself.

Therefore, I have decided to instead of doing the typical blogger posts about which pieces they want to buy from the new Lilly collection, I am going to focus more on what is going on in my life: college, family, and friends.

I will still be posting, but I feel that these posts will be useful in the future when I want to look back on my senior year and remember the good times that will surely fly by!!

July Wishlist

Problem: I have recently discovered Polyvore. It is almost as addicting as pinterest because I seem to get caught up in searching "What's in my bag" or "preppy" sets and consequently,  I spend quite a while scrolling through all the outfit ideas.

My wallet is not very happy about this either because I'm finding lots of items I can't live without.

Here are a few items I have added to my July Wishlist:

What's in my bag: summer edition!

One of the main reasons I began reading blogs is that I loved "What's in my bag?" posts. I wouldn't say this comes from a nosy perspective. I just find it handy when someone carries something that I hadn't previously thought to add to my own bag, and I find out about it through their post.

So now I will be on the other side, and show other interested blog readers what is inside of my purse.

My bag:

I found this bag a few weeks ago in a little boutique in Providence, RI. I fell in love with it and had to add it to my extensive collection!! 

Contents:

First, I have my wallet, which is a black DKNY. I am not in love with it and I have my eye on a new Kate Spade number.

I have my earphones, hair ties,  dental floss, lip balms, hand lotion (from Crabtree and Evelyn, which I am in love with), Bath & Body Works Coral Reef hand sanitizer, a roller perfume of Lola by Marc Jacobs, bobby pins, and my favorite Bic black pens. 

I occasionally carry around my iPad, but it weighs down my bag and I don't need to lug it around if I am only going shopping.
