As you know, I traveled to Hilton Head Island for a relaxing spring break vacation.  Believe it or not, the weather was cooler in Hilton Head Island than it was in Cincinnati, Ohio-  crazy, I know.  It was like my dream vacation, though.  Sweatshirts and shorts on the beach = LOVE.  We also went shopping at a variety of places on the island, and I had the most delicious food- YUM!  Here are some pictures from my travels!


 


 
 


































Keep calm, and head to the beach!  Stay classy!

#badonkadonk

AHHHH, I'm alive!  First week of the term is supposed to be easy, well not for me!  

But anyways, moving on.  My friends and I have been discussing this major problem we have.... BIG BUTTS. I have this shirt that says, "Do these shorts make my butt look big?"  And what do you know, everyone felt the need to comment.  @crazycoffeenerd called me Badonkadonk, which was #rude.  We all got a huge chuckle out of it, #butseriously he has a big butt, too.

So while lying in bed last night, @chillhipster proceeds to tell me that she loves sleeping on her back because it's so comfortable.  Yeah, if only I could do that.  It's probably super comfy unless you have a huge butt that prohibits your lower back from even touching the mattress #bigbootyprobz.

So that's all for now.  Love your booty and stay sassy!  

#liveincolor

You never know when you will be inspired.  I have started taking my camera everywhere, just in case something sparks my interest.  While on the island, we ran to Home Depot on a quick errand.  After looking at the wall of color palettes, how can you not be inspired?  

So many colors, so many looks.  Live in color, wear color, travel in color, read in color, the options are limitless.  Mix and match colors, prints, and fabrics. Read a pink novel while sitting on a striped lounge near the cool blue ocean.    

   

Being a Cincinnati native, I have always been obsessed with this poster (even had a giant on in my room as a child.)  But how could you not love it, it's beautiful!  

Live in color, sassy ladies!

Ever seen Gossip Girl?  Watched the nasty high school girls gossip about one another all day long?  You may have some stereotypes of what life is like in an all girls' private high school, but I am want to get the facts straight.  So here it is... life in a Cincinnati all girls' private high school (may vary according to city and state.)

Stereotypes

1.  All private school girls are rich, blonde, and snobby.  FALSE- While paying for a private school education maybe quite costly, some students are on scholarship and others' are living a simple life at home, in order to afford being sent to a private school.  Trust me, in private school, there are blondes, brunettes, lovely straight-out-of-a-bottle haired, Caucasians, African Americans, Asians, etc.  Some may be snobby, but it just depends on the crowd you roll with.

2.  Private school girls have awesome clothes.  FALSE- wearing a skirt and polo everyday creates a HUGE problem when heading to college.  Who knew we would have to drop $500 on clothes in order to look socially acceptable?  There are days when I wish I could wear by green/grey plaid to class.

3.  Private school girls have great hair.  FALSE- psshhh, I wish.  There were days where I would roll out of bed, throw on my polo and skirt, and walk out the door.  One day, my English teacher asked if I has been caught in a windstorm because my hair was looking a bit disheveled.  One thing we are quite skilled at it is the messy bun- any private school girl has mastered that art!  

Wear super cute skirts and messy buns to keep it sassy in school!  

#congrats

Congratulations are in order!  Wanna give a big shout-out to my friend who got engaged on Friday!  Seriously, they deserve the #worldscutestcoupleaward.  He picked her up from work, drove her around for nine hours going to different places in Cincinnati, so where they met, had their first date, etc.  I know you may be thinking "how cute is that" but it gets even better... he made a delicious dinner, proposed, and then had a party for both of their families.  Needless to say, I'm a bit #obsessed.  


So for all of you who may be single, engaged, or married, you may find some of these entertaining.                                                 


  

                

Find true love, sassy women!  

#paradise

 

Ahhhh.... exams are over and I have arrived on the island.  After a long day of travelling, it's nice to be finally back to my second home in #HHI.  @creativeone is in Rome, and @chillhipster has headed south to Florida.  Even, @boynextdoor is somewhere besides home, on a mission trip to Georgia.


On the way down to #HHI, we drove at a leisurely pace as we were in no rush to get to the super dark island.  We traveled by a different route this year, and I was amazed at the the scenery.  We stopped several times and I took some great pictures of the #beautifulsouth.  

 

I will be here for four days... think I have enough stuff?!?!  

Keep cool and stay classy!

#biggirlpanties

 

Who would have thought, that I, as a freshman, would have a big girl job starting the day after exams with no vacation time?!  #butseriously.  ME?!?!  A 19-year-old, college freshman who has taken no marketing classes, and I will be  soon working at the biggest market research firm.  Something doesn't seem right about that, but one thing is does mean...... SHOPPING SPREE!!!!  


For all those lovely young women out there who get to intern this summer, be sure to know the culture of the company before your first day of work.  It's always important never to be underdressed, or overdressed.  It's important to "fit in" with the culture as an intern, but stand out with excellent ideas.  So it's up to you, if you enjoy a structured work environment, you need to find a business professional company where pant suits are a must.  Like cute blouses and sweaters, a business casual company is for you.  Jeans and a t-shirt is more your style, find a laid-back, casual company.   Since my company is quite relaxed, business casual is always appropriate.  


          


Just be sure you're wardrobe aligns with the company's ideals and culture.


Dress for success, and stay classy!  

#goinglunching

  

Who knew one could spend two hours dining out in the middle of the afternoon?  On this lovely day, I decided to take a break from my studies to go lunching with my mom and her friends.  We went to the neighborhood pizza joint, and it was surprisingly packed, with a bunch of old biddies.  As soon as I entered the pizza joint, these old folks gave me the stare down since I was out lunching instead of being in school... Um, excuse me, 1.  I live in America, it's a free country (I know, surprise, they just passed that act in like 1776) and 2.  I'm in college, I don't HAVE to go to class.  

So anyways, great start.  I love being filled in on all of the gossip.  It's classic, and thoroughly enjoyable.  Upon the arrival of out food, the old ladies started bickering since our food had been delivered first.  Seriously... stop complaining.  1.  You are 80 years old, what do you need to be doing?  2.  You have a party of eight, we have a party of four.  3.  We ordered pizza, you all ordered specialty sandwiches.  

 I made a promise to my mother and her friends.  If I ever am out with them when they get older, or I see them in public complaining and being a pain, I have the right to drag them home.  Let's just say, my children will do the same for me.

Get lunching, you sassy lady!

#cupcakes

Wanna give a shout out to the mother of #creativeone.  She was so lovely and brought us delicious cupcakes for exam week.  How cute are they- red and black for University of Cincinnati?!  We, the roommates, love her mom.  


Fun cupcake quotes:

• When you look at a cupcake, you've got to smile! - Anne Byrn
• Where there are cupcakes, there is life.  
• If not for cupcakes, there would be no need for control top pantyhose.  An entire garment industry would be devastated.

Eat cupcakes, sassy lady!  

#pumped

Seriously though, who's pumped!?!?!?  I cannot wait, it's going to be epic.  You thought Twilight and Harry Potter were good, just wait until The Hunger Games.  And OMG, have you seen Peeta- #woahbuddy.  He is gorgeous, and grew up literally two hours away from me.  AHHHHHH!  I mean seriously, how can you not be obsessed with Josh Hutcherson?!  #caaayute 

If you haven't read the novel, you must.  It's an easy read, and the intensity will keep you hooked!  Hopefully the movie can live up to the novel.  It's full of excitement, survival skills, and most importantly #romance!  

 Stay sassy like Katniss!  

#retailtherapy

I could seriously use some retail therapy right now.  Between annoying boys, studying for finals, and janking up my nails multiple times, let's just say I've had enough.  I wanna get out of here, go shopping, and blow it all!  Well, actually that would be a horrible idea, but I need to blow off some steam.


Do you know that feeling when you put on your "power" outfit and you feel like you can do anything?  Check out these shoes that would be perfect for work, play, and shopping!


         
  


Shop til you drop, and stay sassy!
