Blackberry Troubles

Unfortunately I've been having some issues with my Blackberry. I absolutely LOVE it, but for the past few days, I've been trying to download my system update and it freezes right when I've downloaded 72% of it. It won't get any further. My problems started last Saturday and I thought it might have been just because I hadn't turned it off in awhile, but I've tried re-starting it, re-setting it, and leaving it off for long periods of time. I've tried it in all the different modes and I'm now starting to not receive BBMs! I'm not quite sure what to do! If my problem continues through the weekend (which I hope it doesn't!!) I'm probably going to have to resort to going to the store--on a weekend, yuck--to see what they can do for me!

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to helping out a BBerry?! I'd hugely appreciate it!!

P.S.: I'm officially ADDICTED to BBM! It's part of why I love my BBerry, y'all were SO right!!

Love Me Some Southern Tide

So for any of you who haven't been introduced to Southern Tide, you have to check them out! I swear they have the SOFTEST polos created. I got an email from their mailing list with all the new polo colors (and chino colors too) coming out and had to pass it on to you all. They are so fun for summer and I know they'd be a delightful addition to any boy closet!

I am loving the Bluefin color for the polos and the Sailor Red and True Blue for the shorts.

I've mentioned ST on the blog before, but it is perfect for the beginning of summer which is (thankfully) right around the corner! This is their Skipjack Polo and they describe it as "The best, most comfortable classic polo ever made." and I know some boys who would agree for sure!

I also have to love a company who gives the good ole Gamecocks some TLC. Brittons is a great store located on Devine Street in the greatest city of Columbia, SC that has a huge selection of clothing. Look at what ST did for the Gamecocks:

For all my USC fans, you just gotta love em! I can't wait to see more ST hopefully up North here a little more. Any of my boy readers should invest in a polo or two for sure! (School colors are always a plus...having an "almost alumni" own the company helps too!)

Get My Friend on Glee!

Hi all! I've never petitioned blogworld to help me out in any kind of way, but this would be insanely cool if you could! My junior year of high school I took chorus with this girl named Maddie and now she's auditioning for Glee! She's a finalist on the local radio station in Washington DC and they recognized her as one of the top 25 submissions for the contest!! Check out her video here:

In order to vote for her, you have to go to the website: CLICK HERE! and vote for submission #17 Madeline Myers! How cool would it be to have someone that I know on TV? Congrats to Maddie for getting this far already and I can't wait to see what else is in store! I know I'm a major Gleek and now I might even know someone on the show itself! Please sign up with your email and then just say that you don't want any of the emails that they can add your email to. I'm just going to add the email address to my spam folder and keep voting! You can vote 1 time per day per email address that you enter, so keep voting! I this is an awesome project and that Maddie is great! Good luck Maddie!!

Katie's Worrying About Prom (again...)

Shallow, yes, I know and I'm sorry, but all of a sudden, people are all talking about prom! A lot of you bloggers have real stories that are adorable, heartwarming, some are about kids, but I'm only in high school. Yeah, very trivial, but I am a planner and I would much rather have m dress in advance than down to the wire. Last year I had my Lilly picked out in August when the style book came to the store. May 15th is the big day, and just dress drama is beginning to circulate. No dates yet, but I will keep you updated for sure! Anyway, I decided that most of the dresses that I posted the other day were generally wrong (except I'm going to post one of them again, it made the most recent cut). This time, I like a lot more of the ones I'm posting as in there's much less wrong with them than the the last time I posted it. Also, this is the first time that my mom is realizing that I'm thinking about prom and that I even have dress ideas, hi mom! I NEED HONEST FEEDBACK (aka tell me if they're ugly please!!!!!!!)
Option one: black, chic, very long (yay!), gorgeous. A girl had this dress last year and looked SO pretty, but hers was in coral. Anyway I like this a lot.
Option two: black (I swear they're not all black!!!!), skinny, sleek, potentially hard to walk in, again very long, and the back is cool, its like an X I like it too! *Cool fact: she's an ex-Lilly model, recognize her from the Resort 2008 shoot?!
Option three: green, Milly (on sale!!), potentially too casual (I need feedback on appropriate-ness guys!), very pretty at least online, I like it, maybe not long enough?
Option four: probably my favorite so far!!!!! pink, conservative, paisley, very long, lightly sequined at the top, keyhole neckline, and I can wear my platinum Jacks underneath.Option five: the sole survivor from last time (see "Older Posts").

Option six: not pictured, Lilly Chellis Dress in "OK Coral" if I can find it. Ebay, Craig's List, in some store, IF YOU CAN FIND IT TELL ME! I LOVE THIS DRESS and I would love to wear it to prom, but it is SO unbelievably hard to find so its wishful thinking on my part.

Anyway, I hope that you guys post please because I can't choose and there's a good chance that I may not even be wearing any of these. That makes me think of another idea, if you have any other cute, affordable, classy ideas for my dress, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me!!!! I would love some input everyone!! Have a good week everyone!
