Weekend Recap

My little in my sorority came to visit Nashville this weekend! Words can not even begin to express how happy I was to see my sweet little BayLee.

I haven't been able to see her in a couple of months since she's been attending grad school at Ole Miss (Hotty Toddy y'all!), but thankfully her and her dad came to Nashville for CMA's Country Christmas (yes, they really do film it this early).

Since BayLee has visited Nashville before, I didn't want to go down the whole touristy, Broadway Street route. Instead we decided to go to Pinewood Social, which has quickly become one of my new favorite places in my little big town.

It has a unique and cool atmosphere, and whether you want to grab a latte or a martini, they've got you covered (did I mention they have a vintage bowling alley inside?!)

Pinewood Social is also one of the few places in Nashville that I know of to create coffee art.

BayLee and I tried to sip carefully so we could keep these pretty little hearts in place. (Did y'all know that Nashville is now ranked the 13th City in the Nation for the best coffee? We've come quite a long way from just being about country music)

And of course a Nashville visit wouldn't be complete without a picture together in front of that beautiful skyline. If you're wondering where I got my outfit from (maybe you weren't, but some people have asked haha) I thought I'd tell you. I included links :)

Clothes:

This BP. Print Tassel Trim Poncho is light weight, soft, and fun. Pair it with leggings, jeans, or even throw it over a cute dress! It's become one of my new favorite things. You can only buy it online, but since it's one size fits all you don't have to worry about trying it on.

The grey shirt is from Old Navy, which is perfect for layering and comes in several colors. 

I bought the jeans from The Limited awhile back so they don't sell them anymore, but you can find skinny jeans almost anywhere if you don't already own a pair :)

Beauty:

One of my favorite fall nail polishes is Essie's Chinchilly. It's the perfect light grey and if you see it in stores, go ahead and throw it in your basket! This is one shade that tends to sell out quick!

With the weather changing, I try to keep my skin from getting ashy and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. My favorite lotion to use in the morning is Philosophy's Amazing Grace Lotion. Not only is it moisturizing, but it doubles as perfume that lasts all day long! 

Last, but certainly not least, bronzer. I like to give my face just a little bit of color and contour it by applying some bronzer along my cheek bones, hairline, and jaw bone. My favorite bronzer is Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer (I use Hula Hula). This drugstore bronzer, costing only $9, is actually a dupe of MAC bronzer! I promise it will become a permanent addition to your make up bag.

Accessories:

Both bracelets are from the J. Crew Factory and the double back pearl earrings are from Target. 

Shoes:

My good ole Frye boots. You can basically count on me living in these the rest of the season. (Btw, BayLee was wearing the same boots! Like big, like little)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend friends!

Friday's Freebie: Sorority Printables!

Well ladies, the wait is over!

You can now download our Sigma Kappa Sorority prints!

Frame one and put it on your desk or nightstand, pin it to your dorm room door or corkboard, or create a gallery wall using multiple prints, pictures of your sisters, and some pretty Greek letters or your monogram!  You can also give them away as a big/little, heart sister, or initiation gift.

Hello?! Endless possibilities here, people.

While we really do bleed lavender and maroon over here (and may or may not do housework while humming "Sigma Kappa we love you.. WOAH WOAH WOAH!"..seriously don't judge us), we definitely want to show some panhellenic love here by giving away prints with your letters on them, whatever they may be! 

Just contact us and let us know your sorority and which print you'd like and we'll send it your way!

How it Works

We keep all of our printables stored in Google Docs.  When clicking on the printable, you will be redirected to our Google Docs site.  After clicking on your printable, you will click the download button (be sure to do this! Files print more clearly when they're fully downloaded!). Then, print to your hearts desire!

Suggestions

When printing, click "fit to printer margins" or "fit page" to make sure your printable is not cut off or off centered.  We also recommend printing on cardstock to get the highest quality.  If you have any questions or problems while printing or downloading, feel free to contact us!

Sorority Recruitment Gifts

Last weekend the Emilys took on Chattanooga for some bid day fun (more on that later!).  Our sorority welcomed in 52 girls into our sisterhood, and aside from the severe heat, we had such a great time visiting with all of our "little" sisters!

More importantly though, is that my sister-in-law will soon become my SORORITY SISTER, and needless to say, I'm completed ecstatic about it!

Can we just have a nostalgic moment really quick?  Fall gets me in that feeling sometimes (newsflash- the PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE came back TODAY- so it's safe to consider it fall).
Listen, I remember being that freshman girl, running out to my sorority on bid day and then returning to my dorm that evening thinking that I needed to buy ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in sight that had a Gator, Dove, or the colors maroon or lavender on it. I mean it. Everything.  And I don't really think I ever got out of that little crazed funk considering my Junior year I painted the walls of my bedroom LAVENDER? (Who does that? Apparently, 20 year old me does...)
I'd call it a deranged sickness, but I don't think I was alone.

So today I'm sharing a few printables that can easily be given to any sorority girl in your life (that may or may not be suffering from said sickness...) who's gone through sorority recruitment!

The best thing about these is that all you need is a white frame and you're golden!

What's that? How do I get super cute printables that has my sorority on them so that I can keep and/or give them to someone, you say? And how much for them?  Is that what I'm hearing?

Check back here on FRIDAY for our Friday Freebies!

Pssst... These may or may not be them!

Until then, Keep Celebrating!
