Rainy Day Link Up + GIVEAWAY

Happy Monday everyone! I'm so excited to share with you the Rainy Day Link Up - a link up hosted by myself and Michael from The Monogrammed Midwesterner! Michaela has become one of my good blogging friends and I knew asking her to help host would be a great idea. Seattle has experienced some crazy cold and sunny days, but we also experienced some crazy downpours. The rainy season is here and won't leave well into April and May. So, we are bringing you our go-to rainy day outfits, tips, and tricks. If you're interested in joining, upload a post featuring your outfit and join the link up! We are inviting every blogger around (and use the hashtag #rainydaylinkup).

Monogrammed Jacket  ||  Jeggings  ||  Socks (Steve Madden, similar)  ||  Boots  ||  Scarf (Hollister Co., similar)

What’s your favorite way to keep warm on a rainy day?

Rainy days are just asking to be spent in bed with a cup of tea and Netflix!

Are you a hood, umbrella, or both kind of girl?

We don't use umbrellas in Seattle ;)

What is your best hair tip for a rainy day?

I usually wear mine in a pony! If it's especially rainy (think: pouring), I might try to do a cute bun. I like to keep my hair tucked away under my hood so it isn't soaked by the time I get to class or work!

What's your favorite thing to do on a rainy day?

Snuggle up with Chris, make something delicious, and binge watch Modern Family.

We've also teamed up with Ace & Ivy, a shop that Michaela reps for! They've been so generous to help us host a giveaway! We are giving away one monogrammed rain jacket (swoon) to one very lucky winner. Who could pass up a monogrammed rain jacket?

Washington was blessed to have half a foot(ish) of snow this past weekend! Though it didn't snow south of where I go to school, the snow on my campus was plentiful. It was fun to play around in. I haven't played in snow in so long! A bunch of friends and I ventured outside to throw snowballs, take photos, and have fun. It was great! I don't own any snow gear, so I stuck with my traditional "cold weather go-to" pieces. It was hard to keep my eyes open in these photos and when the wind was blowing in my direction! Thankfully we still had a few good shots.

Cheers!

Delta Tau Delta Formal!

"If he's not DTD, he's not for me!"

 

Mondays are typically my (new) day where I post my weekly goals (seen here, here, and here), but today I'm just too excited to share some photos from my boyfriend Chris' fraternity formal this weekend! It was held in a beautiful bavarian town Leavenworth - it snowed while we had dinner and was such a magical night! I'm lucky that I'm so many of my closest friends attended and to have gotten to know so many of the other guys in the house so well. Even my best friend, Paul, is now a Delt! It was an amazing weekend - fraternity formals are the best!

My sequin dress - Tobi (similar here)

I ordered this dress last winter for 50% off - all new members receive 50% off their first order. How great is that? My dress was only $34!

Cheers!
