My Christmas Wishlist 2013

Hi everyone! I've been getting asked a lot recently what is on my Christmas wish list, so here it is with links! I should be studying for finals (I'm actually writing this in the library), but obviously I'm too excited to be home for Christmas
I'm still obsessed with Fair Isle sweaters, so I'm asking for this J. Crew one from last year (it's on eBay) and this Vineyard Vines one
These Sperry for J. Crew snow boots, I'm obsessed with the plaid

These Loren Hope studs
A North Carolina necklace to rep my home state at school
These adorable J. Crew Factory tights, they have bows on them, so I need them right?
J. Crew camp socks, basically my favorite thing to wear on my feet. I already have several colors, but a one or two more would be nice
Welly socks for my Hunters! I wanted the cable knit cuff ones but they're all sold out (at least in the kids sizes they are. Yes, I'm almost 20 and I wear kids rain boots)

Thanks for reading!

My Old Hobby- Photography

Back in high school, I was really into photography.  I took 2 photography courses and I took a lot of photos for my dance studio. The summer after I graduated, I worked as a photographer in a water park.  When I worked there, we had to take 100 photos of park guests every hour we worked. After doing this for a whole summer, I basically just lost interest in picking up a camera for a while. Recently, I've been looking back at my old Flickr account and I just really miss it. I always have 2 emotions when I look back at those photos 1) I took too many artsy selfies that I don't really like anymore 2) Taking those pictures were all a lot of fun. 
I also was brought to this because one of my high school friends, Lindley who is now a photography major and just started her own blog, asked me about doing a photo shoot when we're home for Christmas, which is going to be so much fun! Anyways,  I thought I would share a few of my favorites from the past few years.

Thanksgiving Weekend Recap

Hi everyone! I just recently got back to campus from Thanksgiving weekend. I flew home on Tuesday night, and I ended up missing my connection due to delays from my first flight, thanks US Air. It was also snowing really hard as I was leaving, so I was lucky the flight even took off. I ended up running across the airport to another flight and was able to get back to NC that night. It was so nice to see my family, my boyfriend, and my dogs! I did a lot of shopping, made a lot of bows for my Etsy shop (thanks so much to everyone who placed an order!), and got to spend time with my family. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner, and we also took our Christmas card picture. Today I flew back to PA with surprisingly no issues. And in less than 2 weeks I'll be right back home for Christmas! I just have to get through several papers, presentations and exams until then. 
Anyways, here's my week in Instagrams (follow me if you don't already @cara_194)

My Mom surprised me with new bedding!
I found some amazing deals at my favorite stores!
This Lilly dress was $188, I got it for $75
The J. Crew top was $110, I got it for $28
The J. Crew jeans were $135, I got them for $20!
The tights weren't the best deal, $22, to $17 but I really like them
I had to decorate my little Christmas tree before I came back

I did end up going Black Friday shopping, I got Christmas presents for almost everyone on my list, and I got both  of these from TJ Maxx :)

It was so nice seeing my boyfriend again

So many bows! There were some more added to these, I was so happy to have so many great customers!

Family Christmas Card 2013, every year it's just me, my brother, and the dogs
