How to Meet New People

How to meet new people is a question that I’ve gotten for years. I always find it funny because sometimes I don’t think I’m very good at meeting people. Although I’d say I’ve been successful at meeting some of the best people throughout the years, I generally feel not that great at the actual act…

My Daily Uniform

While my daily uniform isn’t as extreme as wearing the exact same thing (or same color) every day, but I have a routine when getting dressed. Unless I have something where I need to get dressed up, my everyday outfit generally looks a little bit like

On My Radar

The best part of the week was definitely traveling to DC to speak to a couple of classes at Georgetown. It was an incredible honor. I was on the phone with my mom, walking around campus after, and I told her I wish I could write a letter to my freshman self to tell her…

Cute Workout Leggings

I honestly can’t believe how much I love working out now. It’s a huge motivator for me to know that I enjoy the classes. When I’m forcing myself to get out of the apartment and into the car, I may not be completely thrilled about going to work out, but I go. Because I know I’m going to feel great afterward.

Nominated for a Shorty Award

Everyday Jewelry

Remember the days of layering tons of bracelets, wearing heavy statement necklaces, and stacking chunky watches? I loved it as much as the next girl, but now I’m all about simple really nice pieces.

I think that understated jewelry actually says a lot and right now I’m more interested in investing in nice things I can wear forever than stocking up on a ton of cheap things.

On occasion I will wear a fun statement (like fun earrings) with a basic outfit, but for the most part I’m keeping things super simple with studs, a necklace, a bracelet and/or watch, and maybe a ring.

Wanderlust

I have a couple of little weekend trips planned for the year, and I’m looking forward to squeezing in some longer ones when I can. There are a few places I am prioritizing, but I’m also trying to be open minded. Would love to know what travel plans you have coming up… or suggestions for…

Book Recommendations

Okay, I’ve officially ended my mini reading hiatus. I feel like nearly everything in life, reading is a habit. I know that I have to commit to reading for at least fifteen minutes a day and then after about a week or so I don’t even think about needing to read… I just do it….
