Shades Of Lux

LADIES LISTEN UP.

I've recently (and somewhat randomly) stumbled upon an up and coming online luxury boutique called Shades of Lux.

And let me tell you, it is AMAZING.

Shades of Lux (SOL) is based in the big apple, where founders Lucy Hislop and Beverly Osemwenkhae work to find the best pieces from various lines and distributors so that you don't have to. SOL leans towards a boho chic vibe but mixes in pieces for every style and occasion. In other words, no matter what style you favor, SOL has got you covered.

But what makes this brand different from any other online boutique?

They care.

SOL, in every order shipment, includes a pre-paid return label and shipping parcel.

However, it is not so you can return the clothes you ordered (you won't want to anyway, trust me.) It is so you can ship them those clothes hanging in your closet that you haven't touched in a year.

"Why?", you may ask.

So Shades of Lux can take those clothes and donate them to the ladies of New York City that maybe don't have the luxury of ordering a new pretty dress. SOL works with different shelters and organizations around the city to connect to those ladies and put a smile on their faces. And if you ask me, that's a pretty awesome thing for a company to do.

Clothes and philanthropy in one brand? Can it get any better than that?

Well, yes. Use the code "LAIN20" and get 20% off your whole order (you're welcome).

Girls, this brand is seriously something worth checking out.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
