Been college educated for 5 years and counting...

I can't believe we celebrated our 5 year Reunion at Rider University in Lawrenceville, NJ
this weekend!

Seems like just yesterday that we were having too much fun, learning A TON of science,
 and making friends that will last forever!



What I Wore: sunglasses- Ray Ban, necklace- Spike The Punch, dress- Old Navy, sandals- Payless, bag- vintage

One such friend-that-will-last-forever as mentioned above is my friend Sarah BA,
studies say if you have a friend for more than 7 years, they will be your friend for life,
well she is stuck with me...



God I love/miss this place

Our day started with some "Taste of Philly" {aka I ate a cheesesteak} at the dining hall
+ these guys playing music...

I love their completely sequin outfits...

Then we went to see if we could visit our old sorority house ΑΞΔ

We got in!
These are the plaques that each new member class makes...
With the advent of pinterest, they have increased significantly in quality haha

This was my last room in the house,
it used to be Hello Kitty painted as an Andy Warhol painting & I loved it,
but I though it was interesting that it is now an elephant...

I loved the new doors to the kitchen!

Had a little "holy I'm old" moment when I realized that one of the years I was in Alpha Xi Delta
has made its way into the basement... we have rotated out of the lounge!

Ah yeah...
What a throwback...

Then it was off to a beer tasting from Weyerbacher Brewing & a garden party!


A glow party at the pub to finish off the night,
I love that I got to see so many incredible people like Walter,
 who was my peer leader when I was a grad assistant of Multicultural Affairs!
I am so proud of him!

Home to display our borrowed(?) centerpieces from the garden party,
they were to pretty to risk getting thrown out!


I loved my years at Rider,
made amazing friends, connected with inspiring faculty that still have my back to this day,
happened to find a great hubby, and have tons of memories!

It was awesome to be back!

Making a sweatshirt look "cute"

It was decision day at school & teachers were encouraged to represent their alma mater,
my students kept saying, "when you wear a sweatshirt and still look cute"
& my hubby said, "you match from your new hair to your shoes"
whoops...





What I Wore: glasses- BonLook, lips- Be a Bombshell lip crayon in "Hot Damn" via Ipsy, sweatshirt- Rider University, pants- Loft, flats- Forever 21



Wearing my college gear makes me miss college!

I can't believe in a month it is our 5 year reunion,
where does time go?!

Sunday Shopping & Weekend Fun!

I have been eyeing this piece of furniture,
I love the look of it and thought it would be perfect in the attic! 

Love it for my loafers!



 Perfect timing since these babies just arrived from Old Navy!
Love them!

& these floral ones UrbanOG!

As a Valentine's Day present we picked out this beautiful piece of furniture from HomeGoods
for our living room to house the electronics!

It is perfect! 
We've been on the hunt for months!

This Michael Kors dress is to pretty from Southern Sun Vintage on Instagram,
will so cute with a belt and boots!

It arrived in the cutest packaging! 

Speaking of dresses, 
I redeemed this beauty from Motel with Chictopia points!
This weekend was too much fun!
Started out with kitty cuddles,

He is such a good looking kitty!
Posing with his Christmas present from Aunt Bianca! {via TheElegantWall on etsy}

I even went out in the snow to go to the gym!!
I was proud of myself

I have always listened to Glamorous by Fergie when I run at the gym, 
something about that song!
We went to Rider University to attend a "Paint & Sip" alumni event with Paint Tyme,
I was so nervous about it because I haven't painted anything since like kindergarten...





Here is our progress!
First pictures are Charlie's, second is my painting:





Charlie's

Mine:
SO much fun! 
I gotta say I am impressed by the outcome!
The event turned into a lot more sipping than painting 
when we went to the old stomping grounds of the pub!

Today we went to the annual New Jersey Mycological Association mushroom cookery meeting!
It was a cooking class with full servings of the menu and an auction of mushroom themed items!



The cooking class was run by Chef Luke from Jamie Hollander catering,
it was informative and delicious!

1st dish was a Shiitake/Hen of the Woods-Noodle Salad with Nuoc Cham and Herbs

2nd item on the menu was Bahn Mi Sandwiches with Red Curry Roasted Portobellos 
with a Black Trumpet Pate with Sage and Marsala and Pickled Vegetables 

The 3rd and final menu item was Green Tea and Candy Cap Ice Cream 
{DELICIOUS- The Bent Spoon needs an ice cream like this!}
It was served with Candied Snow Fungus and Gingerbread Cookies

I fell in love with this little mushroom house that holds a candle during the Auction! 
For $5, we took it home!

So cute on our mantel! 
What a great weekend! 
Already looking forward to the next one...
