snow days & lilly

well, the world may have come to an end as we know it. UT actually cancelled all classes today. that never happens. thank goodness they did though! we have a good 5 inches of snow on the ground, with snow still flurrying about! i don't totally mind it today since i really don't have anything that i really have to do (with the exception of working out - which i will do at my apartment complex's clubhouse). still, i am ready for some more normal temperatures and weather here in tennessee!

on my to-do list tomorrow is one main thing: visit the new lilly pulitzer signature store opening in knoxville! i am so excited to have an all lilly store here in knoxville! and as a bonus, they are going to have an exclusive knoxville print murfree scarf! it even has neyland on it! needless to say, i will be at palm village at ten o'clock sharp tomorrow! (and by the way, lilly added some new arrivals to the online site!)

it is also new york fashion week! so many things going on! i always love looking at the runway shows and seeing what is on the horizon for the coming season. though they are showing for fall 2014  (which could still be worn right now), i am looking forward to this years upcoming trends! i have looked at kate spade, j. crew and tory burch's fall presentations so far and am in love! i feel like fall is very asian-influenced and designers are definitely into texture and deep jewel tones. activewear is also appearing more and more in collections! 

even though today is a snow day, i still need to be proactive and stay on top of my assignments! many of my professors assigned online work to do because of the snow so i am off to work on that some! later i am hoping to read my vogue magazine and enjoy the snow from inside my warm apartment! as i said last night, stay safe and warm everyone!
