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!

FINALLY! I got the gladiator sandals I’ve been searching for! I have been wanting gladiator sandals since last year but I had such a hard time finding them. I tried a lot on but none seemed to fit just right. Today I went on a little UNDER $40 shopping spree for items that are a steal. I walked into DSW and I saw these! I went straight for them, holding my breath because they were perfect… but what if they didn’t have my size… Thankfully they did and they are so comfortable. I got them for only $28! I was…

So I had to share this outfit featured on my Youtube channel with all of you! I love this dress and it paired perfect with my denim jacket. It’s cooler weather so the denim jacket definitely helped a lot! What I love most about this outfit is it pairs perfect with cowboy boots or gladiator sandals depending on my kind of look I’m going for in a day. I also couldn’t forget to accessorize with my clutch from Marley&Lilly! I also paired my favorite Christian bracelets, GBeads, with my new MK watch! What do you guys think of this outfit?…

I had so much fun in my new dress! As Kate Spade says, ‘I think that playing dress-up begins at age five and truly never ends.’ This dress I just got online from Original Piece Boutique (Check-it-out!) for only $38! It was $61 (I got an amazing deal)! I love the tulle bottom skirt and the detailed black accent color hue! The straps come off to make the dress strapless or I can leave them on. Depends on what kind of occasion I want! The dress is perfect for Valentine’s Day too! I thought about switching the black wedges with…

Even though it’s winter and (freezing) by the way… it was ONLY 35 degrees outside, I couldn’t help but want something bright on my nails! What better color than doing bright pink on a cold winter day outside! I used an OPI pink polish I had… and YES I did my own acrylic nails. It only took me about 45 minutes to actually shape and do the acrylic so I am getting a lot faster! Once I applied the acrylic I did some errands and came back and did the designs. I admit I’m obsessed with nails on Pinterest! It’s my…

So I saw this dress online from Original Piece Boutique and knew I had to have it. I don’t have anything like it and the lace arms was something I’ve wanted to try for a while now. I especially loved the cutout neckline it added a flirty feel to the skater skirt bottom! I paired the dress with my new Tiek flats! They are so comfortable and the cushion bottom on the flats made them my ‘all-day-shoe’! I had so many of you write in when I got them in their iconic blue box and ask me ‘if they are…

So today it was finally a sunny today. I had to be outside even if the weather was a little chilly. It was perfect weather when the sun was out. I had to take advantage and go for a run outside. There isn’t anything like running to clear your mind and recharge for the day. We all have those moments some days where nothing will clear your thoughts like a run. I just got in my New Balance shoes so that was a plus to breaking them in. It also gave me a chance to wear my favorite workout pants with…

I have to say I’m in LOVE with this maxi dress! It makes you feel like a princess! The open-back I admit made me hesitant at first to try on, but the straps are adjustable, which gave me the perfect fit! I love the color of the dress too. It’s the perfect mix of fall, winter, spring, and summer. I can even add a denim jacket to the maxi if I’m going out on a cool night. The bottoms of the dress has a thick lining, but I love it because it gives this dress that Cinderella feel every girl…

I just got back for the Holiday season and I absolutely couldn’t have moved all my staff without my new Scout bag! I absolutely LOVE IT! It holds so much stuff (way more than I ever thought) and it’s sturdy which I love…and the fact that it’s Christmas plaid… what’s better than that! 😉 I got so many compliments on my trip home that I knew I had to share this with you as one of my ‘Must-Have’ Holiday picks! Yes! That’s right! If you are still searching for the perfect item to give someone don’t look any further than Scout!…
