So Many Cute Bracelets

I have see so many cute accessories inspired by sailing recently and I'd have to say I'm loving them. Like this Pink bracelet from Lemon & Line, this bracelet may be the only thing I think about for the next week.

...or this Sperry Topsiders sailcloth tote!

...or how about the new collection fron Kiel James Patrick

I know that every summer nautical seems to be a big and classic style, but with all the new cruise wear collections coming out, nautical seems to be everywhere. And I can't hide my excitement.

Until next time

THE LAST Semester!

So Tomorrow officially starts my last semester of college, Yikes! I can't believe its gone by so fast. And with this new semester comes so many new, fun, and exciting changes. I'm now living in a triple with some of my friends, starting a new manager position at work, and starting a new internship at Boston Children's Hospital :D

I'm worked so hard the first three years, and now I can relax a little with some great fun classes, like ceramics II, and still have time to have some fun during my last semester. And as something to look forward to, my friends and I are going to florida as a post grad trip this summer!

With all these exciting changes, I've made two new years resolutions.

1. Eat Healthy and Exercise - probably, like most people I know I need to take better care of my self, so I can feel better and be more efficient in everything I do

2. Have fun and not worry about the small things- I am a worry-wart. I worry about everything. I want to try and relax, stop worrying and enjoy life a little bit more.

What are some for your new years resolutions and goals?

Good Luck to everyone starting a new semester at school and happy new year to everyone!

Until Next time,

Happy Blogging

Its Official I have finished my Christmas Shopping with 2 weeks to spare...

Now the only thing left to do is wrap them all, which may be my favorite part! I love nicely wrapped presents, it makes the whole experience so much nicer, whether you're giving or receiving.

This is how I wrapped gifts last year, and they looked so nice under the tree.

I usually go to Paper Source to get my wrapping paper, ribbons and things for christmas. Here are some great examples of fun wrapping ideas to inspire your packages, boxes and bags this year.

Last year, while sitting in amazement as I wrapped, told me I that she was impressed with my wrapping skills but that I must be a "wrapping snob." But I firmly believe that how a present is wrapped show just as much thought and effort as what is inside. And great wrapping doesn't have to be expensive; wrapping presents in newspaper or craft paper, with a great ribbon or bow look adorable- and if you hit Michael's craft store with a coupon, usually are budget and earth friendly options too!

I grew up learning that wrapping was just as important as the gift inside, and learned how to wrap well at a young age. But if you are not a wrapping aficionado, here are some great places for inspiration, tips, and how-to's.
