It's OK Thursdays!

Happy Thursday Readers! 

I'm linking up with Neely from A Complete Waste of Makeup for It's OK Thursdays again! There's a lot of things I'm OK with today... 

It's OK...that I go back to Boston next Tuesday. I'm loving the time off from school and getting to spend time with my family but I'm ready to get back into the swing of things and back to a normal schedule. Staying in PJs till noon is getting a bit old...

It's OK...that I received my first monogrammed scarf from Marley Lilly the other day! I chose a pink scarf with a Khaki monogram to match the gloves and earmuffs I wear at school! I'm really loving the monogram but I wish the scarf was a bit longer! 

It's OK...that I made a trip to TJ Maxx yesterday and came back with Nike Norts, Lilly Pulitzer note cards, Apple Cinnamon Scone Mix, and Banana Chips for under $25! I lovee a trip to TJ Maxx! 

It's (not that) OK...that my sorority's formal recruitment is in a little over a week! I cannot believe this will be my last recruitment ever! I remember when I went through recruitment three years ago like it was yesterday! I'm so excited for our new members (whoever they may be!). 

It's OK that...I'm going into the city today to one of the biggest shoe sales of the year! I'm looking for new loafers! Hopefully I'll be able to find something! 

It's OK that...I created a button! Or at least I tried to-still trying to figure some of this blogging stuff out! I added some of my favorite read's buttons to my blog and feel free to grab mine! 

It's (really) OK...that you can still enter my favorite's giveaway here! This giveaway will close Monday night at 9pm! 

What are you OK with today? 

PS be sure to check out Caitlin from Peaches & Pearl's great giveaway!

It's OK Thursdays!

Happy Thursday Readers :) 

Today I'm linking up with Neely @ A Complete Waste of Makeup for It's Okay Thursday! There's a lot of things I'm okay with this week (especially today..)

Hey it's ok...

to have woken up this morning at 9:01am when I had to be at work at 9am..(um hello freaky internal alarm clock) 

to run to work in yoga pants, a t-shirt and my glasses (ew) but to skip my first class just to go back to my apartment to put normal clothes and makeup on (good thing I only live two blocks from where I work!) 

to be going home in less than a week! I cannot wait to sleep in my old bed and see my family! And especially to get back to work at Lilly Pulizer! 

to be accepted into both of the internships that I applied to for next semester, when I didn't think I would get either! (gives me a ray of hope for real-life job applications!)

to be overly obsessed with the french onion soup from Panera...I order it at least once a week!

to carry around my Lilly planner, Lilly mini-notebook, and Lilly post-it book everywhere I go...hey! when I girl likes to make lists- she likes to make lists! 

to sport my Vineyard Vines pullover today since it is such a yucky fall day :( 

to be excited that it's Thursday and that means it's the official start to the weekend! If you read mypost below, you know that I have a very exciting weekend coming up! 

to be continuously working on my Christmas list and send my mom 10 emails a day with new ideas only for her to respond with "aren't you too old for Christmas lists Elena?" NOO...a girl can never be too old for christmas lists right?!

to be planning my first GIVEAWAY for next week! I would like to reach 30 followers by that time :) Seasoned bloggers, any advice for going about planning this?

What do YOU say is okay today?

XOXO
