I was able to visit Rome the summer after I graduated from college. It was my final stop of my European adventure days before I was to start grad school in Florence. I made my way to the top of the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (the Vittoriano) through a bright blue sky after […]

Life Changing Moments: caffination, GNO, and a lotta love.
. . . because after a long week, sometimes it’s hard to remember the fantastic parts. . . {free starbucks} Register a giftcard, swipe it 15 times when purchasing a beverage, and then get a free drink of your choice – any size :) :) :) Add your shots, pick your syrup, order your […]
Currently Craving: A High-Low Hem
Obsessed! Love love love love. I spotted a high low dress on Karena from Tone it Up several months ago and have been hoping for one of my own. I recently found this pink and navy polka-dot one I am crazy about! These feminine and flowy dresses are an effortless way to feel girly. […]

Currently Craving: Faux Fur
It’s no surprise that fur was once a sign of wealth and status in society. It’s durable, amazingly soft and keeps you feeling warm and toasty on the coldest of winter days. Glamorous girls have worn it for decades and with society’s increased interest of animal welfare over the years, it’s no surprise that women […]
Hopeless Hope

The shampoo-condition-product-style process only happens like once a week. For the days that I don’t get a blow-out, I rely on this method to go […]
City of lights, love and, apparently… life lessons.
{disclaimer: I’m in a super silly mood. . . bear with me} The City of Love. The City of Lights. The City of Glitz. The City of Glamour. I longed and prayed to visit Paris. I have a list of cities in my wallet at all times that I complied four years ago on the back of […]
Defining and Finding Purpose
As some of you know, I got out of a very icky situation just over 4 years ago that I consider to be a cult. When I left, I was afraid, really really really afraid. I was conditioned to believe that I needed to be in that group to function spiritually, to be on the […]
