I am currently attending Harvard and pursuing a degree in Humanities. My passion is books and writing. Books taught me things about myself, the world, and society in ways I never thought possible. It is thanks to books I know who I am and allowed me to discover my passion for writing. There is nothing like crafting characters and capturing the voice of a story, bringing it to life on the pages. Thanks to every bookish bestie in the book world, it has allowed me to spread my joy of reading to people worldwide!

So we aren’t in spring officially so the big question is what trend to do on your nails. It’s February so I wanted to get something done on my nails that is fall/winterish but still has a spring vibe. I love the oxblood red color because it’s not a bright red but it’s not quite a burgundy color. I decided to get that color and do the plaid accent nails. I decided to get the traditional Burberry inspired plaid on the nails because I’ve never had the traditional plaid before. I love this nail design because it’s perfect for this time…

Spring is in the air and that means it’s time to live in color. I love bright colors and I love making a statement wherever I go. As the saying goes: ‘why blend in when you were born to stand out?’ I definitely love that quote because it’s so true. It’s time to embrace your style in a bold fun way. I absolutely LOVE this photo from Ralphi’s Photography and I LOVE this bold dress from Original Piece. The colors of this dress are bold and fun and make me think of the tropical whether. It’s the perfect dress for…

I’ve had so many write-ins about what I use on my lashes. Well I usually can’t go anywhere without using my 3D Fiber Lash Kit from Peak Cosmetics. I was sent their lash kit as well as their amazing lip kits and I absolutely love their entire line! The lash kit is one of my favorites because there are two steps. One is for a ‘base’ or Application Gel that basically adds a sticky coat and then there is a feather like finish known as the ‘Natural Fibers’ that you apply directly after and then again seal your lashes with…

The mix of bold color hues makes this photo ‘pop’ and reminds us to express your life in color. Capture your own originality and express this week in color through your fashion choice. I love this dress from Original Piece and I love the tassel additions. It gives this dress a trendy twist I love. Plus, I’m a huge fan of the new off-the-shoulder trend and this dress had all of…

Hey Everyone! So if you’re like me you like having white teeth. But the problem is finding the right teeth whitening kit to use. Some I’ve used leave my teeth really sensitive or they just don’t really work. I love white teeth and for a while I just gave up looking. I tumbled upon Pop Smile a little over a month ago now and I have to tell you it’s amazing. I was excited when I got my Pop Smile kit and I couldn’t wait to try it with the light it came with. The Ultimate Teeth Whitening Kit consists…

So I officially joined the camo trend and I have to say I LOVE the camo trend! It has an edgy, yet fun twist that I love. The edgy twist is just what my wardrobe has been missing! Today I paired by camo top from Original Piece with simply denim leggings and my Steve Madden combat boots. The spirit top I’m wearing is so comfortable and I love the length of it! My Steve Madden combats are so comfortable too and are definitely ones that I will be wearing a lot more. I have to say I can’t wait to…

So I couldn’t help but try this amazing jumpsuit on when I was at Original Piece! It’s simple, but it has pockets and the deep ‘v’ cut gives it an edgy twist I love! It’s nothing like anything I have and it features a tiewaist that gives it a fun touch. I’m short, but if I add some wedges or heels this look will be complete. Since it is black I’m planning on adding a red lip to give it a pop color like in the picture for when I go out. Now, I just need an excuse to wear…

It’s fall and that means it’s time for new trends! I decided to pair one of my favorite solid dresses with a fun printed cardigan for those cool fall mornings. The bright solid magenta dress gave the cardigan a ‘pop’ of color for fall. Because as you know I love bright colors even for fall! The printed cardigan with it’s grey tones gave it a fun fall twist with it’s color hues for fall. It is still warm out so I decided to pair it with my rose gold sandals I got from DSW! How do you accessorize for fall?…

It was Original Piece’s Think Pink Event at their Flagship location this past weekend in Florida. I was so excited to have the chance to go and of course I wore an all pink dress I got from them last year! I decided to pair it with the denim jacket I have had for years and it gave it a casual twist. I showed my support in honor of someone special to me who is a survivor of breast cancer. I wore pink in honor of her and was so excited to attend such an amazing event. I had the…

So today I decided to try the Elsa braid! I was going out and I always wear my hair the same way: half-up half-down or in a ponytail. So I decided to change up my look. The Elsa braid I have to say I LOVE it. It gave a fun twist to my fall look and I loved it! I watched a Youtube tutorial on how to do the Elsa braid and mixed that in with a French braid. Once I did that, it was easy to finish! I wore it on the side just like Elsa! Next fall outfit I…
