Spring Break Essentials

{ links } 

I can now officially say that I have endured the most long, hard and absolutely amazing week of my life. Charleston Fashion Week has concluded and I am wiped out! Because of this adventure, I ended up missing a whole week of school (yikes!!) and this week has been full of catch up: late nights of homework, early mornings of making up tests and lots of caffeinated tea. 

Now, I am going to try to start blogging more now that I have more free time. Last week, I jotted down a few ideas and created a Pinterest board of inspiration for the new scheme of the blog ( Sloane and Frannie my new inspirations. ) So be prepared to see changes coming within the next few months. 

With all of the work that I have been having, I am in desperate need of a vacation. It has been almost nine  months since I have had a real one. Unfortunately, Easter is very late this year and my school district plans spring break around that time, so my spring break isn't until almost three weeks from now!  Having spent a lot of time in downtown Charleston last week, I got a chance to explore the shops and the first signs of spring. My style has started to evolve since last spring: instead of Lilly, Lilly, Lilly it has become more of the J. Crew, Anthropologie, and (newly discovered) Madwell look. Don't get me wrong, I still love Lilly to death.  Now, I find that the more demure, neutral colors are starting to fit my lifestyle and personality more and more.  

What are your spring break essentials?

ps -- What is up with this weather? It was only in the low 50s all day today, and typically at this time of year it is in the high 70s. Seriously, I'm so ready to ditch the layers.
