Spring Break 2017 Shopping Guide

I am so excited about spring break this year. Because my spring break falls the week before my brother's, my dad is taking us on a mini ski weekend during the overlap, but I will be heading to Miami with my best friend for the week prior! I am so, so excited because I love traveling with friends, and I haven't been to Miami since freshman year of high school. It will be especially fun, too, because it'll be just the two of us, so we can lounge by the pool, hang out at the beach, or do as much shopping and exploring as we want to. I seriously can't wait!

I've already started looking into a few outfits that I'll want to pack for the trip, and I've made this fun Spring Break guide to share with all of you as well. I am thinking of making a "resort" tab at the top, which would be similar to the "shop" tab, but all vacation clothes/accessories. This way all of you can come here for vacation packing essentials and fun pieces... let me know if that's something you'd like!

Without further adieu...


Cover-ups + dresses


Swimsuits


Shoes +Accessories



Do you have Spring Break plans? I would love to hear!! Also, if there are any Miami suggestions out there, I am all ears :)

Red Dresses

As a member of Alpha Phi, who's philanthropy is women's heart health, we celebrate an annual Red Dress Gala in February, because this month is Cardiac Awareness month! It's fun too, because it's Valentine's Day in just a week, and of course we are all thinking of love, our hearts, and the like at the same time. How convenient ;)

The Red Dress Gala for my chapter at Lehigh is coming up in a few weeks, and I've been on the hunt for the perfect red dress! If you're making any Valentine's Day plans yourself, or getting a head start on prom dresses, maybe you'll find this round-up of reds useful as well...

I'm not huge into red, but it's fun to have an opportunity to wear something different from my typical black, navy, or other neutral-colored dress for once! I'm especially loving that velvet option, which is on major sale right now! Shop all of the dresses below:

Monogrammed Patagonia



Okay, if it's not already obvious enough, I'm just going to come out and say it: I'm obsessed with gifting. Gift-giving, gift-receiving, gift wrapping, gift exchanging, writing gift guides.... It never ends! This year for Christmas I got Jack these UGG Slippers (on major sale right here!), and he got me the monogrammed Patagonia that I'm wearing in this post. It's just the kind of thing every college girl needs; it's comfy, it's cute, it's monogrammed (hello!) and it's perfect for class, the library, sleeping, and Netflixing alll dayyyy long. Oh, and it's also perfect if you needed another idea in addition to my Valentine's Day gift guide! Of course, he didn't actually buy it online already monogrammed... once it came in he took it to a local monogrammed to have it done. #dedication

This Week's Top 10


1. So, the groundhog saw his shadow yesterday, and I definitely think this sweater is the perfect transition for the next six weeks of winter to spring.

2. Olivia's wedding was seriously gorgeous. Now I totally want to get married in Texas?

3. This week I switched up my workouts from 75% cardio / 25% strength to more of a 50/50 situation and I really liked it... Here is a really good article that explains the benefits if you're on the fence about switching!

4. Speaking of fitness, I loved Carly's post the other day.

5. Old Navy has a ton of amazing workout leggings and they're all on sale right now.


7. Did you see my Valentine's Day gift ideas on the blog this week?

8. ...or how about my February playlist?

9. These sunnies are one of my favorite from my Valentine's Day post.

10. Alpha Phi is having our first date party next Friday and I'm in need of a dress! Any dress site suggestions for me?

February Playlist

Hello, hellooooo! Happy February! I'm excited to post another playlist today, because these are some of the posts that I am most passionate about, and I have so much fun selecting songs from my current queue to share. Now that I'm in a sorority we have to go out more than I was used to last semester, so I've definitely been hearing a lot more party music at the frats and such, haha. This playlist, therefore, is definitely a little more upbeat than my usual chill/lowkey/mellow stuff. But take a listen and let me know how you like it....



What's on your current playlist?
