Holly Jolly Link-up!

Happy Wednesday Readers!

This morning, I'm linking up with Crystal from Coffee at Nordstrom, Emily from Life of Emily, and Ashley from Everyday AEM to share with you my present from the Holly-Jolly 

Swap. I absolutely loved participating in this swap and had so much fun! Thanks so much to all the hosts- you did a fantastic job organizing this! 


I'm so excited to share with you what Caiti from Southern Biscuit sent to me! She has such great taste and I loved all of the presents! 


First of all, this gal is craftyyy! Look at these adorable, hand-made cards I received from her:


And then came her gift! 






So nicely wrapped! 







Personalized note pad!



A beautiful scarf!



And a set of fun earrings! 

Thank you Caiti for all my wonderful gifts!

I had Kelly from A Tennessee Girl and loved shopping for her!! Check out her awesome blog to see the goodies she got! 

Can't wait to see what everyone else received!

XOXO

Top 5 Tuesday: 2011

Happy Tuesday Readers!


Just Peachy

I'm linking up with Rachel from Just Peachy for Top 5 Tuesdays! This week's theme is 2011! I still can't believe the year is coming to a close- I feel like 2011 FLEW by and I'm terrified that this semester is going to go by even quicker! I would like delay graduating as much as possible please! 

1. Favorite Movie 
Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 
I mean not only was this the first movie that came to my mind but it just is so much more than a movie! I was (and still am...) a HUGE HP fan since I was little! I started reading the books when I was about 9 or 10 and would wait at Barnes and Noble until midnight each time a new book was released. I could read a HP book in under a week I was so obsessed! I felt similarily about the movies when they came out! Deathly Hallows Part 2 perfectly summed up the end of the Harry Potter story and a small part of my childhood! I can't wait to watch it again (and again...)

(my favorite threesome)


(just the scariest movie advertisement ever...)

2. TV Show 
Gosh, this is a really hard one! I'm actually a bigger TV fan then movie fan (judge me, it's fine!) but I absolutely LOVE television and keeping up with shows each week! Even though I have SO many favorites (Glee, Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl, Pan Am, Grey's, Pretty Little Liars...just to name a few) I think my favorite NEW show this fall is Hart of Dixie! I've actually blogged about this show before so I won't repeat myself but I'm really really liking the happy story line and of course Rachel Bilson is amazing (still a soft spot in my heart for her since her O.C. days...)


3. Song Book
Okay confession time...I'm not a big music person. Not that's not to say I don't like listening to music. I love it! I put on Pandora radio every time I'm home alone or studying. But I'm not a diehard, favorite band, loves going to concerts kinda girl. The best concert I ever went to was Britney Spears in the 4th grade...so yah haha that pretty much sums it all up. 
SO instead I thought it was more appropriate to talk about my favorite book OR shall I say series...
HUNGER GAMES
these are by far the best books I've read all year...
they're addicting...
amazing...
AND A MOVIE IS COMING OUT THIS SPRING! 
Run to the library...
Order it on your kindle...
Or head to your local bookstore because this is a must read- RIGHT NOW! 


4. Favorite Thing that Happened!
President of AEPhi 
Definitely one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences this past year. My entire year was pretty much consumed with my sorority and though at some points I was definitely frustrated and stressed (like rip your hair out stressed) but I don't regret it for a second. I love every single one of my sisters and they have defined by college experience and I wouldn't change it for a second. 



5. Favorite Christmas Present
This is really hard to narrow down since I really loved and appreciated all my Christmas presents this year! Even simple Christmas cards mean a lot to me! But I definitely think one of my favorites were All Wrapped Up Kate Spade earrings! 

They're pretty simple and sweet but are just so sparkly! I love them!
