Chai Tea Latte. Caffeine in large quantities makes me jittery.

Zero. Who has time for that?

I either run a brush through it or put it up in a French braid. If I heat style it, I'll usually curl it.

I would say so.

College Bound

In celebration of receiving two college acceptances recently, I decided I'd make a list (typical) of things that I'll be needing to acquire before I head off to college in 8 months. Eek!

A Barbour. I'm hoping this will be able to replace my Letterman, but I don't know if its passable as a winter coat. (Apparently my brother wants one too. Maybe we can match!)

Basically the entirety of the Container Store. I have no shame.

Rain boots!

A laptop... preferably a Macbook.

Another pair of pixie pants! (Image from thepinkandgreenprep)

A rain jacket! I love the hunter green.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
(P.S. Roll Tide and Gig 'Em!)

Christmas Wish List

Christmas Wish List by Caroline

J Crew Tartan Pullover / Kiel James Patrick Riven Rock / Dogeared 'Hear Me Roar!' Necklace / Lilly Pulitzer 'First Impression' iPhone 5 Case / High Cotton Ties Headbands / Lilly Pulitzer Tusk In Sun Large Agenda / Jon Hart Grande Makeup Bag

(I forgot to put socks. I really, really, really would like some cute socks.)

My favorite part about this time of the year is seeing the lights. And only having two more weeks left in the semester. (That also means I only have two more weeks of keeping my grades up for class ranking, whoo!) Definitely counting down to Christmas.  

The Friday Shirt

So by some coincidence, I've managed to wear the same shirt for every pep rally (We only have them every couple of weeks, don't worry) and I'm thinking its because by the end of the week's craziness, I'm not capable of doing much more than throwing on an oxford and chinos/jeans and Jacks/riding boots.

The Friday that started it all.

This past Friday. I was in the mood for comfort.
(I also had worn all of my jeans, hence the Pixie Pants.)

The Shirt: Ralph Lauren (I got mine from the Outlet, tax-free with 40% off- score!)

What is your go-to item?

Bonus: This Song.

Preppy Girl Tag

So I watched quite a few YouTubers do this tag last week and really wanted to do it, so I figured I'd just type it up because... blogging.

1) What is your definition of 'preppy'?
Classic, put-together, and polished, lots of collared shirts and always, always, always with a dash of New England or nautical. 

2) What is your favorite all-time brand?
Most of my wardrobe at this point is J. Crew, but I adore older Lilly P. and have recently been liking Vineyard Vines. 

3) What is your favorite Lilly item and print?
My most treasured item is definitely my Dark N Stormy shift. My favorite print is First Impressions because 1) it reminds me of my bedding that I had up until I was 14 and 2) it was the first Lilly print I fell in love with in 8th grade. Notable mentions go to Chum Bucket, State of Mind and You Gotta Regatta. 

4) Favorite preppy Youtuber?
glamourkate08. Can I just say how perfect her hair is? Here's her Preppy Girl Tag Video. 
Bonus: My favorite bloggers are The College Prepster and Prep In Your Step. 

5) Jacks or Sperrys?

JACKS. 

6) Jeans or khakis?

Jeans. But if I could find a cute way to style khakis, believe me I would.

7) Opinion on oxfords?

You mean the only shirts I wear?

8) Duck boots, riding boots, or Hunters?

Riding boots because 1) it never rains or snows where I live and 2) I think they're the most polished option. 

9) Navy or black?

Navy is more year-round, but I do like black as long as its not on my nails. 

10) On a scale of 1-10, how much do you love J. Crew?

I'd say a solid 8.7. 

11) Favorite Ralph Lauren clothing item?

Either my white oxford with the obnoxious logo or my basic blue one.

See? Obnoxious. 

12) Pearls or bows?

Pearls!
