Happy April + April Fool's

I am quite literally the most gullible person on the planet. I distinctly remember the kids in my middle school cafeteria saying "Who wrote gullible on the ceiling?" and I would immediately look up. Every. Single. Time. I used to dread April Fool's Day because I'd fall for every joke. I psych myself up and tell myself not to believe anything, yet it never works.

So this year, I'm writing it down. If I write it down, I will most definitely remember it (right??).

This year, I will laugh at every joke. I WILL NOT FALL FOR ANY OF THEM.

I will not fall for it when my 19 year old cousin claims he is engaged to his girlfriend.
I will not eat any foods handed to me.
I will think before I answer any questions.
I will not believe any couples that "break up" today on Facebook.
I will just smile and laugh and enjoy this gorgeous first day of April.

STYLE :: JFK and Jackie O.

Speaking of politicians, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for John F. Kennedy. He may have had some questionable policies but there is no doubt that the Kennedy family embodies the American spirit (and style).

I can promise you with 100% certainty that I will be posting more Kennedy photos in the future. I may be slightly obsessed.

LIFE :: NCSU Student Senate President

This boy, who I just so happen to be dating, just ran for Student Senate President at North Carolina State University.

Doesn't he just look like a little politician in the making? 

Yesterday was voting day so I spent all day yesterday handing out fliers and trying to convince students at NCSU to vote for the best candidate. The competition was fierce and tensions were terribly high. We anxiously waited up until 3 a.m. to hear who won the contest and unfortunately, Scott's opponent won. We are upset, but Scott did his best and it was a great experience.

He had an AWESOME campaign song (which may have been my favorite part of the campaign). Check it out:

 

The worst part about political campaigns is that there can only be one winner... and that winner takes all. Onward and upward! On to other things, other interests....

Until later,

TRAVEL :: Paris Je T'aime

I just tuned into Paris Je T'aime and I have lost nearly all of the French I learned in college and I only stopped taking classes two years ago. After I got over this harsh realization, I resorted to actually reading the subtitles and so far, so good. Yes, I've only been watching it for 10 minutes but it has made me itch to travel to the city of lights and love.

I'm dreaming of cafes and berets. Of cobblestone streets of the Champs Elysee and getting lost in the Louvre.

Here's to you, Paris. May I visit you soon:

I realize that Paris is much more than just the Eiffel Tower but doesn't it just look divine when surrounded by balloons?

Here are a few pictures from my trip to France in March of 2007. Three whole years ago. Wow.

You can't really tell, but this is from the top of the tower. 

Off to enjoy a weekend of bowling and movies.

Au Revoir!

FASHION :: Carolina Cup Outfits

We only have two weeks until my favorite day of the year and I am anxiously counting down every day! Carolina Cup is on April 2nd!! For those of you who don't know, Carolina Cup is a horse race in Camden, South Carolina. College students from all over the south take buses to the event which is half fashion show, half tailgate, and you might even see a horse if you're lucky.  I heard someone refer to it as Preppy Woodstock earlier this week, which is pretty fitting.

Of course, I take my outfit for Carolina Cup very seriously, but this year is something extra special because I get to dress a boy too! Check out our outfits. What do you think? Are they preppy enough?

I'll admit that the thing I'm most stoked about is that the boyfriend's Cordial Churchman pink seersucker bow tie is going to match my pink seersucker dress so, so well!


Is anyone else going to the Cup this year? What are you looking forward to the most?
