My Favorites

I was reading an article in Garden & Gun and I loved the piece. It was all about a woman's daughter going off to college and what is was like from the mother's perspective. I found it fascinating.  It was written by Julia Reed. Which interestingly enough is my fashion professor's name. I looked her up and found this awesome bio about her. I liked it so much, I thought I would do something similar on here, check it out below and let me know what you think-xoxo darling, Hayden. I am adding them to my about page which you can find here.

Today I am STUDYING for my government test {aka crying}. But other than that it should be a pretty good week! I have some parties to attend {including a murder mystery party!} and some "me" time coming up. What are y'all up to? -xoxo darling, Hayden

It was my spirit group's Founder's Day so of course we took some photos! 

Hannah & I finally got to Voodoo!
