ONE // Flashback Friday
As of yesterday, it has been 4 years since I graduated from UNC Charlotte. I had some great times in college, I mean great. I came to Charlotte from a small town and lived it up in my college days (all while maintaining a good GPA I might add). Most of my fun memories have something to do with Zeta Tau Alpha. Mixers and formals, Greek week, fun nights in the house, recruitment, and spring break trips not to mention meeting some of my best friends. College was a blast and I can’t believe it was so long ago, but honestly I like being a grown up just as much. Cheers to all the grads of 2010!
TWO // BaubleBar faves
I’m on a jewelry kick lately. Who out there loves this site as much as I do?? They have super cute jewelry that doesn’t break the bank and one feature I love is that you accumulate points with every dollar you spend and can use that on future purchases. AND I can’t forget to mention my favorite thing, free shipping & returns… why can’t more sites be like this? Here are a few pieces I’ve had my eye on.
THREE // Need to clean out your closet?
Ryan is often my source of news and as he was reading the WSJ this past weekend, we discovered Liketwice.com. This is a website where you can send in your clothes & handbags and get paid! They send you a bag which you fill with your unwanted clothes (that are in tip-top condition) and then you will receive a quote for all of your items, and shipping is free. The cool thing is that if they receive an item they don’t accept, they will go ahead and donate it. If you want the item back, they charge you $5 to ship it. You can also shop from their website as well.
This is a pretty cool concept if you want to get rid of those old clothes but don’t want to leave the house. I usually sell items on eBay but I’m pretty excited to give this a try. Click here and get $10 just for signing up!
FOUR // Congratulations are in order
I just want to give a big congratulations to one of my best-est friends Logan. She’s the one that passed the bar a few months ago (yay) and has just landed her first, real, full-time, big girl job as an attorney!!! I am so very happy for her and also for the fact that she’ll be moving back to Charlotte to reunite with us.
FIVE // Beach scenes
Ryan, Sarah & I made an impromptu beach trip last weekend and yes, that’s me & Sarah doing the oh-so-cheesy jumping on the beach pic. We were those girls. I also whipped out the sand spikers Ryan got me for my birthday (find them here). These are perfect little drink holders and kept my tumblers un-sandy!
I have 3 tests next week so you can guess what I’ll be doing for the majority of the weekend. But on the bright side, only 1 week til this girl heads to Boston! Have a great Friday y’all!

It was just 4 years ago that I graduated from college, too – how time flies!! I was in a sorority as well and have all the similar memories, such good times 🙂 Bauble Bar is like a death trap to me.. I can't even go on that website without spending some serious $$! Have a great weekend!

B @ The Sequin Notebook says
Thanks for introducing me to LikeTwice! I always mean to sell my old clothes on Ebay or at a consignment shop but usually wind up donating them (after they sit around for several months)…this sounds way easier!
Paige @ Reasons to Come Home says
Like Twice sounds awesome! And those earrings are so perfect! Love them. Pretty jealous about the beach day! Wish I lived closer to the beach. Good luck on your test, lovely!
