Hey!!! I’m so excited to announce that this Sunday, Favors and Festivities will be having its first giveaway! In the mad rush of adding things to my cart and checking out ASAP, I accidentally ordered an extra Lilly Pulitzer for Target My Fans shift dress. It was a clicking frenzy – I wasn’t even looking at my total amount. So starting Sunday, you can enter for your chance to win a Lilly Pulitzer for Target My Fans Shift Dress (sz 4)…
Happy Wednesday everyone! Except that I actually thought today was Thursday and I stressed myself out worrying about my homework due on Friday (which, FYI, I still haven’t started). To recap, I’ve covered invitations, locations, party favors and t-shirt’s for your favorite bride’s Barbie Bachelorette. If in case you’re unable to make it to the Palms Barbie Suite in Vegas, this post will be all about the decorations you can make to create your own Barbie Dreamhouse. BridalGuide and Hostess with the…
It’s been sixteen hours since Lilly for Pulitzer for Target has been released and the current status quo is: Ebay is filled with marked-up shift dresses, some as high as $150! Several items have 10+ bidders vying for them, and for the lucky merchant, eager shoppers have doubled/tripled the asking price. Lilly for Target officially went live at 3 am, but the overwhelming amount of traffic crashed the site not too long after Stores were sold out within minutes of opening, which…
Good afternoon! I know I mention the weather a lot, but when winter drags on for almost six months the advent of spring is worth remarking on. Today, for the first time, New England has hit the 70 degree mark!! I wish I could be enjoying it, but I’m stuck here at my lab bench getting ready to start a five-day protocol (#gradstudentlife). UConn grad students have actually been in the news quite a lot lately, first about our union, and then…
Happy Monday! I hope everyone is having a great start to their week. Spring has finally hit New England and it seems like everyone is coming out from their hidey-holes and getting their Vitamin D fix. I am so overjoyed that it’s Monday. Both my room-mate and my boyfriend were away this past weekend and as I don’t have anything due till three weeks from now, I literally puttered around the apt except for a brief outing to the gym.…
I know that I’ll never forget the one and only basketball game I attended this season – it was unforgettable; it was wonderful; it was the moment that I not only met, but was licked by Jonathan the Husky. I should be more distraught that we lost the game in the last few seconds, but honestly, meeting our mascot is one of those rare experiences that everyone wants to desperately check off their list before they graduate. Being in a…
Studying. My brain should be working with me to memorize the different types of structural prediction software instead of daydreaming about Spring Break and St. Patrick’s Day. If I was still in Philly, the streets would be flooded with Guinness and tequila – and for those silly enough to mix, there would be a tinge of vomit too. I can’t stop thinking about life after this exam; this scary stressful exam given by my advisor and covering everything that I have basically…
For the first time in what’s felt like months, the sun shone, no snow fell, and I was happy to brave a slight chill just to wear a cute dress. I did everything from trying out a new coffee shop, dropping off clothes at the consignment shop, and then treating myself to some new Bobbi Brown makeup and Essie nail polish. Best part, I had absolutely no shopper’s remorse after my Spring-y adventure. Fast forward a day – overjoyed at myself at…
There’s all types of love in the world but there’s nothing better than puppy love. Especially when you’re kissed by the University of Connecticut’s mascot Jonathan the Husky. Only a little over a year old, the adorable black and white pup has captured our hearts while instilling fear in both snowmen and our enemies. As Jonathan the Husky is still fairly young, he’s slowly being acclimated to large crowds and can’t always be found at every sports event. It was almost a…
There are definitely no signs of spring anywhere except the mall, where the racks are abundant with bright colors and floral patterns. At least it’s reflected somewhere that we’ve been out of a winter for a whole week, because Mother Nature sure hasn’t caught up. J. Crew is selling a decadently glamorous navy blue + pink posey necklace that leaves me wanting nothing more than to be sipping iced coffee in a floaty dress outside. We couldn’t wait any longer…
