Statement Earrings

Hello y'all!

As Valentine's Day approaches, I have been L O V I N G everyone's gift ideas in the blogosphere! My family came up for Parents' Weekend for Alpha Chi which was a lot of fun. My mom brought me my Valentine's gift/ care package. She brought me bandages for my knee because I fell on Franklin Street after we beat dook. (A whole other story for another day) She also brought me heart sugar cookies, candy, and some new Stella & Dot earrings that I have been eyeing! This leads me to what I came here for: statement earrings.

This school year, I have really began to try to accessorize more and earrings are definitely the easiest place to start! Here are some that I have gotten this school year that I love!

Stella & Dot: These are the exact earrings my mom got me! I am wearing them as we speak. They are much smaller than most statement earrings which is great! I love how they mirror each other, it is kind of a mind trip and oh so fun!

J. Crew Factory: I bought these earrings last weekend for only $15! Such a great steal I must say and they will be perfect for my Spring Break trip to St. Augustine! I can't wait to done these with all white looks!

Bevello: I bought these earrings from Bevello at the beginning of the school year! I bought blue because they are p e r f e c t for game days in football season! They are super lightweight and super fun!

Nordstrom: I could not find an image online of my exact earrings, but these are very similar and are from Nordstrom as well. Instead of pink poms, mine are gray. My wonderful boyfriend bought me these as a part of my Christmas present, plus two other pairs of earrings that I love. I get so many compliments when I wear these! I would definitely say that these are very out of my comfort zone. The poms are extra soft as well!

I could go on for days about all of my statement earrings, but I will end it here! If you are skeptical about trying some of these more trendier earrings, Kendra Scott earrings are phenomenal! They are definitely statement pieces and are great investments. I have tons of Kendra Scott earrings myself...definitely approve. I am dying to get my hands on some of their new spring line! (especially THESE!) They have changed it up, but have kept Kendra's classic look! 

Are you into statement earrings?

January Recap

January is such a long month. So much happens. I came back to school from winter break and only completed half of a week of classes before we got snowed in for an entire week. Last week was actually my first FULL week of classes. That means recitations, work, and other obligations. I was tired to say the least!

For those of you that don't know, I attend UNC-Chapel Hill. Every semester it is a tradition to drink out of the Old Well before your first class each semester because it will give you a 4.0. I decided to give into peer pressure and try it out this semester. I'll keep you posted.

Here's an awkward selfie from the Clemson UNC game. Clemson has never won in Chapel Hill and they almost did on this night. Thank goodness they didn't! The game was a lot of fun. I surprisingly got really into it. Oh also this was the night before the snow day. They announced that classes were cancelled on the big screens and all the students went W I L D! The chancellor even got a cheer of her own!

Yes, I was that who had a photoshoot in the snow. It was not as glamorous as other people's on instagram. I would have taken pictures with my friends if I didn't live so far away from campus lol. I didn't leave my apartment for TWO days. I definitely got stir crazy. Thankfully we did not lose power or anything of the sorts.

And last weekend, I got to celebrate my friend, Barrett's, 21st birthday! It was so much fun to hang out with some of my closest and newest friends! We are doing it all again tonight before our cocktail with reservations for 22 at a Mexican restaurant, slightly obnoxious but I love it!!!!

How has your January been?

Happy Weekend!
