Create your life puzzle created this life for me!...
“start looking forward to your life with a travel blooger, because it’s gonna be a good one. just imagine, sunday afternoons cruising in your california convertible with your pet shark in the passenger seat. your day job as a fashion stylist will bring in the big bucks so you can spend your time running ultra marathons in your mansion in buenos aires, argentina. but your real joy in...

After doing laundry tonight, I realize that I have way too many work-out clothes, sweatshirts, hoodies and t-shirts from yesteryear. After how much time do you throw away (or donate) college, clubs, and theatre show t-shirts? I even have high school ones! I have a Indiana University t-shirt from my freshman year of college that was my suite-mates. I did not go to Indiana nor do I know anyone...

dress Assignment- Part 6
For this one, I love all the white, winter white is just so pretty and has such a precious feeling. I feel dainty and lovely and like I should host a garden party in Wales or something. Obviously the short sleeves would mean I would still need a jacket, but I love the sweater tights and red suede shoes (seriously one of my favorite pairs of shoes).
Anyway, this was the last day of the...

Dress Assignment- Part 4
Really, I wish i had cowboy boots… this would be perfect if I did! I feel like Anthropologie would style this dress like this, like totally play down the fanciness of it an throw on an oversized sweater and belted it. and because I love anthro, I did just that. I really like the brown belt and wooden bracelet thrown in. I feel like that gives it a lived in look, that for some...

Dress Assignment- Part 3
I kept the red tights and was really liking how the black played off of the dress, so I swapped the jacket with black boots and added an orangey-red cardigan. I then belted it with a black ribbon and added a contrasting print scarf. I must say, I’m loving this one! I mean, obviously I really like styling clothes more than I thought. this is so much fun! I feel like I would totally...

The wallet diet
It’s been a little over two weeks since my boyfriend and I started our “wallet diet”. (The wallet diet is opening your wallet less thus not spending as much money thus bigger world trip thus more exciting and worth while experiences instead of eating out and shopping.) I will lay out the pros and cons.
pros:
-More Money (I can already see a huge difference in my bank account...

So, for the second option I tried to winterize it some. I added the red tights cause they are super fun and the dark green mary janes and black jacket to ground the super bright colors of the tights and dress. I then added a bunch of gold jewelry. I like it a lot!
Black jacket- Gap, Red tights- Marshalls, Mary Janes- Target, Gold bangles- F21, Gold Necklace- My grandma’s.

Dress Assignment- Part 1
For my first look, I thought about playing off my first impressions this dress gives me. Summer immediately came to mind and I wanted to break up the dress and create a top/ skirt option. I added this wrap shirt from h&m, brown straw hat, brown sandals, pink/white straw clutch and wild colors beaded necklace. I think it looks totally cute. It really makes me want to go on a cruise! I...

Dress Assignment
After shopping for boots today, and browsing other departments as well, I noticed that I didn’t really want anything new! (I know! this is crazy, I love shopping… there should be something I want…) Maybe this whole don’t- shop- to- save- money- for- world- trip is hitting me right where it should and make me think about my clothes in new and more interesting ways and...

10 places not to go this year... →
the new york times did a special about the 31 places you’ll want to travel to this year… and then black book took it a step further. they recognize that no one has any money to travel, let alone to some of the crazy places they listed, so they made a list of places that you’ll NOT want to go to, so you don’t have to worry about wishing you could! I love this idea.

taking inspiration from Lucky Mag...
January 13, 2009
I just got my Lucky Magazine in the mail and have been obsessing over several features they did. I’m loving all the florals and the way they styled them up. Muted flowers, tights, several jackets and tons of gloves. This is one of the looks I came up with after gushing over it. My mom bought me this dress over the christmas holidays and it’s my first time...
