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!

I had the chance to model this Original Piece wedding gown at the latest photoshoot I got asked to go. I was so excited because the gown is hand stitched with Swarovski crystals and it had a ballgown fit that I absolutely fell in love with. The bodice fits perfectly with it’s accents and sweetheart neckline. The bottom of the dress has that ballgown fit that flowed perfectly and made me feel like a princess. I was so excited to get to model this wedding dress with it’s gorgeous design! It really did make me feel like Cinderella even if…

It’s the magic of ordinary days… When I took this photo today that is the exact quote that came to my mind. It’s those magical moments that you never thought possible that make you see the magic in everyday we live. It had been raining all day today and I was hoping for just a few rays of sunshine so I could go outdoors and do some stuff. In the late afternoon the rain had just stopped but the dark clouds were still fuming. I went outside to see where the storm was headed when I saw a gorgeous rainbow that…

Many of you have been writing in and asking me what’s a new hairstyle favorite trend I’m loving. The answer is: The Headband Braid! [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh8MTdgIDaA] I love the Headband Braid because it gives you that boho braid twist that is trendy for your look and it’s super simple, but looks extremely complicated. I like wearing my hair down but I always love adding a little trendy twist to it, which is why I love braids… and sparkles! 😉 I found this video above that I admit I watched numerous times to actually learn how to do the braids, but once…

‘Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain!’?☔️?? Anytime you feel down or starting thinking negative, remember that even in the storm there is always a rainbow on the other side. Sometimes it is hard. Sometimes I admit I feel like a storm lasts forever, but I learned that even in the rain it’s about dancing in the rain! That means look on the positive side and discovered what you can learn from that! We had a really bad rainstorm when I was traveling over on the Cali Coast and decided…

I’ve seen the elephant trend everywhere lately, but I haven’t been able to find that perfect outfit to incorporate the trend… until now. I found this kimono at Original Piece Boutique and had to get it! I love the tassel detail and the elephant print had the preppy feel I LOVE! I decided to wear it with this solid army green dress that I had in my closet and I love how it looked over it! The solid dress ran shorter but with the kimono it offset the look! I’m working and doing errands today so I decided to wear…
