Spotlight on Sorority Rush

SMU holds off on rush until the spring semester, so it’s finally just a week away! I know how nerve wracking it can be to go through rush. None of the women in my family were ever in sororities, so I had no idea what to expect. The morning of my first open house I was totally overwhelmed. I’d never seen so much hairspray and David Yurman in my entire life! Now coming from the other side, I know the older sorority girls are just as nervous as you (trust me on this one)! As cheesy as it sounds, remember…

Nothing But Blue Skies

Soon I head back to Dallas for sorority rush, so I’ve been savoring my last few days in LA. It’s hard to beat perfect beach weather in the winter. Can’t argue with that, right? Outfit: Ovi leather jacket (similar), DVF top, Gap skinnies, no shoes necessary for a beach day! Accessories: Dolce & Gabbana aviators, top necklace snagged at a flea market in NYC, bottom necklace thoughtfully given to me by Barbara Harvel Designs, J.Crew clutch (similar) I love how the cornflower blue color of my top plays off the ocean so well. I was clearly in a blue mood,…

Cool Color Combo: Flamingo Pink Meets Pine Green

I’m so happy to introduce the newest member of our family, Finn! He arrived last Sunday- just in time for Christmas! Simply, we’re all completely smitten. Finn is so sweet, affectionate, and he always wants to be held. It seems Finn is also competing for the doggy Olympics—he loves to do little flips and tumble around. We all can’t help but laugh as he runs headfirst into a lot of hard surfaces. I hope y’all had a wonderful holiday. I woke up at 6:30 this morning fresh with childhood excitement and ready for pancakes and presents. My favorite gift under…
