The Perfect Greek Decal Find

Looking for more ways to show off your Greek pride? Look no further! thediyprincess on Etsy is the perfect shop to get that Greek decal you've been dreaming of! You can put them on laptop(s) and your car among many other things! I'm a very happy customer from the thediyprincess and I couldn't be happier with the items I've purchased from her shop. She did a Custom Greek Decal from her shop just for me! I love seeing the apple on my laptop light up and she made a decal that accented the apple on my laptop. Below you can find some of her items!
Above is an example of her Greek Decal with Writing which typically is used on cars! I ordered mine a few weeks ago and she happily worked with me to customize mine and make sure I loved it!

Above is the decal I ordered and I'm counting down the days till I find it in the mail! I'm so excited to show off my Greek Spirit while driving, did I mention it's my favorite print?! 


As you can see she even has added the new Alpha Chi Omega print to her shop, which I also love, this is her Lilly Pulitzer Greek Decal and this is what's on my laptop! This is available in all the Lilly prints, I highly recommend this item to anyone!
Above is the my custom Lilly Pulitzer Greek Decal that she worked with me on, and NO she didn't charge extra!


She also has non-Greek items as you can see with her Custom Lilly Pulitzer Monogram! I just ordered one myself! I'd highly recommend these items and this shop on Etsy! She always is willing to work with you and creates top quality items! Don't forget to check out her shop here!

Until next time,


TML (TOO MUCH LILLY)

Girls in Greek life are always looking for ways to show their Greek spirit. You can wear your letters but what are other ways to show your Greek spirit?! Lilly Pulitzer is my favorite answer, and no you can NEVER HAVE TML (Too Much Lilly)!!!









Above is my Lilly collection! After learning that the Pi Beta Phi print was dwindling I went crazy buying Lilly. My favorite item would be between my Original Tote and my Tusk In the Sun large agenda. My tote can hold all of my daily school needs (yes even my laptop) and double as a purse afterwards! My agenda is cute and always gets compliments, I actually want to stay organized now because I get to look at my cute agenda.


Lilly Pulitzer Finds
Lilly is my favorite way to show my Greek spirit! What's more fun that caring a bag around that looks sophisticated and shows off your Greek spirit? NOTHING! Some Lilly bags are hard to find but I've found some sites that you can still purchase "The Original Tote" and the "Sparkle Tote"! 

1. Swoozies you can find them here! I like this site, but shipping can be quite expensive, also not all sororities can be found here. 

2. Sassy Sorority you can find this site here! This site doesn't have the totes, but if you can't find your dry erase board, make-up case, or cup anywhere else it's a great site! Plus FREE shipping! 

3. eBay, you can find the search I made here! I like eBay because you can typically get free shipping and a lower price!

4. The actually Lilly site can be found here! Not all sorority items are in stock, but all of the collections have something in their print left.

You can find many other Lilly providers by just doing a Google search!

Beware

I contacted the company and they're not remaking the "Sparkle Tote" or the "Original Tote", unless your sorority is a new print (I.e. Alpha Chi Omega), SO GRAB WHAT YOU CAN! As the Lilly sorority supply dwindle the prices will sky rocket!

Fashionable Feet

People need to indulge in winter boots, because most boots look tacky in the summer. Here's a few boot suggestions to keep your feet fashionable!




                                              The Perfect Rain Boot

I love Hunters because you can wear them all year long! They can be pricey, but they last forever. You can buy a cheap pair of rain boots but you'll find yourself replacing them along with having uncomfortable feet. The Hunter Original Tall Rain Boot is perfect because it protects your pants from the snow and rain as well! Some winter boots aren't water proof which makes rain boots a genius Christmas present! I'd suggest getting these before going to College, they're really practical! These have the price tag of $140 and come in plain and vibrant colors, you can find them here!

The UGG Boot

I love UGGS! People call them "uggly" but then you find them wearing the knock off K-Mart and Walmart versions, which is really confusing. You can't hate UGG's, especially if you own a pair. I personally love my UGG's. They last forever, I've had one pair since the 6th grade (my feet haven't grown) and they're still fully functional. If you buy a cheap pair (around 30 dollars) you're going to have to replace them! With the price your paying for the boots that fall apart you could let your feet walk on heaven! You can dress them up or dress them down, and you'll fall in love with them as soon as you slip your feet into them! You can find the Women's UGG boot collection here. If you get ones that are not waterproof don't wear them in the snow until you protect them with the water repellent which you can find in this kit! If your worried about wearing sheep skin you can find synthetic look a-likes from a company called Neuaura here.

Tom's Boots

These boots are so stylish! I love buying Tom's because they always give a pair to a child in another country when you buy a pair. It's such a wonderful reason to buy shoes. You can find Tom's and more colors and options here!


Dr. Martens

I've never seen such a high quality boot in my life. I own a pair similar to the second picture (the black pair) and they are life savers. You can wear them with jeans, you can wear them with leggings, you can wear them with just about anything! Dr. Martens can be expensive, but like UGG's they last forever! You can check them out here!

There are many brands of boots out there, but these are typically my favorite brands! 

            Until next time,

What If We Switched Places?

What If We Switched Places?

This video was hilarious! It made me start thinking about if things were switched. What if guys did all the Christmas shopping and women were aloud to sit around so they didn't miss the games, or what if we were just switched what we typically do in general. I'd love switching roles and sitting on the couch.

Good People Are Still Exist..

I've always been adamant about not using the "R" word. A few people that know I don't like the word say it around me just to bother me. I've been blessed to have little people in my life who are special, and truly they are one of a kind. Always hugging you and always caring, there's nothing better in the world. This video really touched me, and I figured it'd touch you as well!

                                                                See you soon,

Finding The Perfect Letters

Going through recruitment this year I was so excited to find my home and wearing my letters proudly around campus! I wasn't quite sure what Lilly Pulitzer was until Pinterest introduced me to her. I knew Pi Beta Phi was my home before I got my bid. I never would've thought I'd be the girl crying at second or preference rounds but I was that girl. I met Dori, not only my doppelganger but my soon to be BIG! EPPPPPP! SO EXCITING!!!!! I cried after our first conversation because I hadn't felt a connection like that during all of recruitment. That can be a scary thing, because it's a big decision and I worried all week that I might make the wrong decision. There's just this moment however that you'll know. The night before I got my big I had a cart full of Pi Phi stuff waiting for me to order the next day! However I couldn't find the perfect letters. By chance I googled "Lilly Pulitzer Greek Letters" and the website http://www.jennabenna.com popped up! It was by far the answer to all my prayers in finding the right letters. I highly recommend checking it out, it can get a bit pricey if your letters are cashmere like the ones below but it's so worth it!
I got the classic fit crewneck because you can never have enough of those in a maroon color, you can customize your own here. I wear mine all the time, and get compliments constantly! There's no better way to show your Greek spirit that with a little Lilly!

                                                                      Greek Love,
