Weekend Recap!

Hey Guys!

Caroline here-

 It was a crazy and hectic weekend, but definitely one of the semester's best, coming to an abrupt end with a BLIZZARD Monday morning. Thankfully the snow (in APRIL mind you) held off so we could have a bit of fun. So here's the run down:

Saturday morning marked the start of 24 hours of Relay For Life at UMICH. My friend Kaylin was the co-chair of the entire thing this year- a HUGE undertaking, and an even bigger success. The day was sunny and relaxing with everyone hanging out for a great cause.

As you can see, the fields were COVERED with people standing up to fight against cancer. This is by far my favorite event of the school year- the only downside is sleeping outside. Here's some advice lovely readers: camping is not for the faint of heart, and leggings are not warm, no matter how hard you will them to be!

This year I was co-chair of our team with my friend Amy- one of the coolest girls I've met at Michigan, obsessed with fashion but even more into philanthropy and doing whatever she can to get involved. 

At 4, I left to go meet up with the SHEI Magazine team to get ready for their magazine launch party and fashion show. SHEI Fest is held every spring to launch their annual issue. This year I was so excited to be asked to pose for the cover shoot! I'm waiting for Jessica to send me the image file of the cover, and then I'll make sure to post it right away.

We had a total BLAST at the show this year- the theme was androgyny, and I had a field day as my lips were painted black while witnessing Crist's runway debut. It was so exciting to work with the SHEI team again- they are a really cool team of unbelievably talented UMICH kids who create an incredibly professional and high-end annual fashion and culture magazine.

After the show, it was back to Relay for a night of shivering, but well worth it for such a great cause! After a nap Sunday morning, there was brunch with my family for my birthday, and then a fitting for another show. The designer, Miho, is a student in the Michigan art school and her pieces are GORGEOUS. I am so excited to wear one of her exquisite designs! 

So dear BEARON'ERS, I'm off to sleep. It's been a crazy weekend, and I can't wait for the sun to come out tomorrow and melt away all the snow! Stay warm and keep smiling.

Love, Caroline
