another headband storing tip: I've got some of my feathered ones in a drawer in my vanity that I've nailed large dowel rods into. that way they hang in the drawer and don't get crushed. it took a little bit of work, but it was so completely worth it!
Wow, this sounds way outside my realm of capabilities, but consider me very impressed!
For the person who asked about storing headbands - I store mine on a round flower vase/fish bowl I got at Michael's for like $5. Keeps them organized and it looks pretty on sitting on my dresser!
I’ve seen pictures of people who do this before! Super cute!
For storing my headbands I use a standing paper towel holder (similar to this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Spectrum-Euro-Paper-Towel-Holder-Chrome/14935413) and just loop them through. This way they are all on display and easy to remove and put back on without having to go through all of them.
Very clever! I don’t know how all of you have such great ideas, I’ve been completely stumped as to what to do with mine!
I store my headbands in a white wicker basket. Baskets make all difficult to store things suddenly easy to store and neatly tucked away. I don't remember where I found the basket I used but it happens to be the same width and height of a headband so I can line up my headbands. I keep the basket on a bookcase. Maybe this will be helpful!
Also love everything you do Prepfection!
Thanks for the suggestion. I imagine you could find something of the sort at a craft store, I’ll keep an eye open when I’m back home!
And thanks for the lovely compliment :D
Hey! Just wondering...how do you store all of those lovely headbands of yours? I'm always afraid I'm going to crush mine if they're just in a drawer or something. Thanks!
I actually don’t have a great system, I just store them in one of those big Vineyard Vines gift boxes on my windowsill. I’ve always been looking for a cute way to have them displayed but haven’t found anything yet. If anyone has suggestions they are of course welcome to share!
I'm going on a first coffee date today, and I'm freaking out about what to wear - any suggestions?
My rule for first dates is to look nice but to not deviate too much from your day to day style. Wear a cute but casual dress (like a sweater dress or a rugby dress) or a plaid skirt with your favorite sweater if you’re someone who likes to dress up a bit on a daily basis. Otherwise wear a nice pair of dark wash jeans or skinny fit cords with your favorite sweater. If you dress too far out of your style you’re more likely to be uncomfortable or self conscious. Don’t over think it. I’m sure you’ll look great no matter what you wear!
do you know where i could find a watch similar to this one: http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/accessories/necessaryluxuries/PRDOVR~37301/37301.jsp
but for a bit cheaper?
Here are a few simmilar-ish options:

Just wondering, how old are you?
Twenty one…
If I had a dollar for every time I’d been asked this in the last week ;)
i literally don't know how i didn't find your blog sooner. it is freaking adorable & i find that i want to reblog or like everything you post. seriously, one of the cutest, preppiest blogs ive ever seen.
Thanks so much :) :) :)
I saw your post about MUN, it's something I was really interested all throughout high school but I never had the opportunity to participate so I really want to do it in college. Were you in MUN in high school as well, and do you know if you have to have previous experience to do so in college, or does it depend on the school? Thanks!

I actually don’t do delegations, I chair the McGill conferences, we have both a high school and university level one. I never did it in high school but I have a lot of friends who are really into it now so I got pulled in :)
A bunch of my friends just posted how much fun they're having at McMUN...I hope everything is going well!!! Are you on the Secretariat? Hahaha so glad there's a fellow MUN tumblr-er out there!!
Yayy I am glad they had fun!!! From what I gathered everything went pretty smoothly so :) :) :) I was chairing CIS so not on the secretariat. They probably saw one of my best friends Jackie who was USG Committees though!
