Katharine, Not Audrey

Most girls love Audrey Hepburn, especially because of her role in Breakfast at Tiffany's. I am not like most girls though, therefore, I love Katharine Hepburn. 

Katharine Hepburn was a woman who spoke her mind. She was a tomboy and athletic to boot. She was a spitfire, lead her own life and was extremely blunt. Honestly, I believe Katharine was a woman before her time. If I had to choose an actress to play me in a role, I would choose Katharine Hepburn, without hesitation.

What Really Matters

I am a huge basketball fan. I watch games all the time. I used to play all the time because I had to, but I loved it. I love learning about players, so I'll follow them on Twitter, read articles, check out their fan club and I'll google them.

My two favorite players in men's college basketball right for the past two season have been Aaron Craft and Doug McDermott. 

I began fancying The Ohio State University's Craft three years ago largely because living in Michigan, I always watch Big Ten games. He has rosy cheeks and fantastic arms. Craft is a stealthy defender who has been an Academic All-American the past two seasons, garnering a 3.92 grade point average. Sadly, he's taken. Not like it matters anyway, he's not Catholic. 

Hello biceps & rosy cheeks

Supposedly they dated in 8th grade? Hello true love

However, with McDermott, my mother was the one who pointed him out to me. A beautiful, brown haired boy who plays basketball at a Catholic university? Sounds like a match made in heaven. As a sophomore at Creighton University, he was named an All-American. This year, he has averaged over 20 points a game and reached the 2,000 point milestone. Doug works his tail off on the offensive end, establishing himself low on the block early in every possession. His foot work, three point shot, passing and intensity have caught the eyes of the scouts and he is a sure lottery pick. Lastly, good genes run in his blood, because his father is his coach and seems to be the perfect family man! I hope he comes back for his senior season, but if not, maybe he'll get drafted to the Detroit Pistons.

Every Girl Deserves a Lilly

Every Spring, my Granmo treats me to a Lilly Pulitzer dress. I am very blessed to have a Grandmother and friend that makes a financial sacrifice to treat me to a dress that gives me such joy. Yes, Lilly brings me joy. Every time I put a Lilly dress on, I light up and my confidence level soars because I feel like the prettiest girl in the world.

I firmly believe that at some point in every girl's life, they deserve to have a Lilly. 

In my eyes, every Lilly dress I have is a collector's item. I cherish them like I cherished my trophies and medals when I was growing up. I just know that one day I will be able to do something with all of my Lilly dresses. 

My Graduation Dress!

I'm graduating in seven weeks from college, and I found the PERFECT dress to wear on the big day. I just so happen to be graduating the same day as the Kentucky Derby, so of course I got a matching derby hat with my monogram on it.
