Be Mine: A Variable Valentine's Day Date Idea

Have you ever heard of a Progressive Dinner? Well, neither had I before the other day when I realized I had to plan my boyfriend's birthday date! But, this can easily be for Valentine's day instead!

 So I will just give you a play by play of my day...

 I picked Maze up around two, and we drove to Boone, NC.  It is about an hour away from where we live, and is the home of Appalachian State University! It is a small town, but had just the amount of things we needed for this date.  On the way there, I gave him his first present, and this card...
He ended up choosing Appleebee's, and we went and totally confused our Waiter by only ordering Chips and Queso and nothing else!

After we finished, I thought we might need a break between courses, so I gave him his second present, and this card...

We were going to play putt putt, but apparently even if it is 60 degrees out putt putt is still closed in the winter! So instead we went to the movies.  When we got there we started checking out what they had, and American Sniper had just started! But, he had already seen it and didn't want to watch it again... :( So, being the amazing girlfriend I am, he chose the new Spongebob movie, and I took him -_-

After the Spongebob movie (we were the oldest ones in the theatre without kids...), I started driving towards Blowing Rock, which is the cutest little town near Boone, and I gave him the next present and card...
Woodlands is a BBQ and Mexican restaurant... odd combination, but it was pretty good! It was totally not a date and dressed-up kind of restaurant, which is why he praised me endlessly for taking him there!  We didn't make it to playing in the park and walking around town like I had hoped, but it was freezing! Instead, we took a drive around town.

Finally, it was time for dessert.  I gave him a box with all of the supplies we needed, his final present, and this card...
I brought a candle, matches, a skewer, and s'more ingredients, and we made s'mores in the car, sitting at an overlook on the parkway :) It was really sweet, and we had lot's of fun!

This date is totally and completely adaptable to whatever your needs might be.  If you are wanting to do it cheaper, hit up all of your favorite fast food restaurants, and instead of a movie, go to the park! Want to do it more expensive?  Make it a twelve course meal instead!  
It might have seemed kind of odd to leave so early, but I didn't get back to my house until almost midnight, so it is a good idea.

If you need some outfit ideas, a "Kissable Lip Routine" or an idea of something to do with your friends in protest of the commercial holiday (my friends are going "Snipe Hunting" ;), check out my Be Mine tag here, ad have fun!

The Valentine's giveaway is still open until midnight tonight, and the winner will be announced next week! 
Good luck, and Happy Valentine's Day!

College Countdown: Dorm Tour

I think I finally got my side of my dorm to look how I want it to this year, and I am absolutely thrilled with it!

I chose the colors yellow and grey, which isn't what I'd usually pick, but I've been thrilled with the way it turned out!  I'm not going to mention where every little thing is from, if you want more information on that you can check out my Dorm HaulI posted earlier this week, but I will do my best to hit he highlights!
First I will start off with my desk area.  From right to left I keep my makeup in the drawers I DIYed, my makeup mirror from Amazon, my desk organizer filled with legitimate desk things, as well as more makeup and makeup brushes, my tea station with my chip mug and honey, my textbooks, and finally my sticky notes and Ray Bans!
The wall above my desk I turned into sort of a gallery wall!  It has been a process to get all of this up, because anything even semi heavy continues to fall down!  From top to bottom: I picked up the canvases at a bi…

Country Concert Lookbook

Early this fall I will be going to a Brad Paisley AND an Avett Brothers concert!  So when I found out King Ranch Saddle Shop was looking for inspiration when it comes to country style I had to share my ideas!  It is the dog days of summer, with hot days and cool nights here in the mountains, so I tried to create looks to fit all weather and styles!

Sassy  For the budding flower child who needs to show a bit of a wilder side and have fun for the night!   This is a crop top and basic jean shorts, which could be subbed for light wash ripped skinnies if the venue is going to be cooler (which is actually what I wore to a Flogging Molly concert last fall!). Crop Top: American Eagle Shorts: Hollister Flower Crown: Claire's


Sweet  This is for the sweet girly girl who still want to show their country side.  It is a simple white lace top dress, to which I have added a red flannel for those cool Summer nights.  The flannel could be tied around your waist during the day, or substituted for a d…
