Highlights of 2018


Happy New Year's Eve! Today I wanted to share a quick highlight reel of my year, month by month. This year was full of fun trips, spontaneous adventures, so many highs, and as always, a few lows. Overall it was a year full of the unexpected, with amazing memories along the way, and I can't wait to see what is in store for 2019. 

In January I visited my best friend in Chicago, attempted a pink theme on Instagram, got my hair highlighted for the first time, and kicked off my spring semester of my sophomore year of college. I shared my January favorites in this post.

2018 Reflection


Hi!! I hope you all had a lovely holiday and enjoyed this relaxing week between the craziness of Christmas and New Years. I unexpectedly took a few weeks off of blogging during finals and the holiday, but I’m excited to pop back on today and reflect on 2018. Tomorrow I’ll be back again with my highlights from the year!

Gift Guide: Under $50


With Christmas exactly one week away, there's still a little time left to shop for anyone last minute on your list! I put together a few fun things under $50 that would make for pretty presents but are easy to add to your shopping cart. A lot of the stores I've linked to offer fast or free shipping, so you don't have to worry about things not arriving in time.




My First Vlog


Helloooo everyone! I just wanted to pop on and say hi before I begin taking my finals. I have my first one tomorrow afternoon, another on Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday, and then in just under a week I'll be home and getting ready for my holiday party with my mom! I can't wait to be done studying, but I'm honestly going to miss this semester so much!

Holiday Party Outfit Guide


When it comes to holiday festivities, there really is nothing better than getting dressed up and decked out for a party! I love all things velvet, tartan, and fur, so I'm obsessed with holiday attire. I thought it would be fun to round up a few pieces that would be perfect for any event this holiday season.


Gift Guide: My Christmas List


Happy Monday! Now that it's December, I'm officially preparing for finals and starting to think about the holidays. My mom and I host a semi-annual cookie exchange party, and this year I'm so excited to have it again. It has to be my favorite holiday event ever, so I can't wait to send out invitations and start planning my outfit. Another holiday endeavor I'm working on, of course, is my Christmas list. Most years I come up with a small handful of things I've had my eyes on to ask for, and this year is pretty much the same. My mom purposely does not ask my brother or I what we want because she always has ideas and wants to surprise us instead, so my "list" is more for my dad, grandparents, and honestly, myself!
