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!

Have you laughed today?! Well today at the beach it was the most perfect day with that ocean breeze and simple soft sound of the waves crashing in. I was so excited to be able to wear my new shirt from Lauren James! As some readers’ might know I’m a huge Lauren James fan! I love their t-shirts that have that simple yet ‘oh-so-cute’ preppy vibe and they are so soft!! I love my new purple one with the design on the back and the pocket in the front! It’s my new ‘go-to’ shirt I wear almost everyday when I…

So I started my week off walking on the wild side with my new Vera Bradley handbag! The cheetah print is perfect for fall and I couldn’t wait and pair it with my new red dress I just got from Original Piece! I’m absolutely in love with my new outfit for fall! The handbag makes the statement, which I love for a change! The Vera Bradley purse is amazing for me because of all the storage space and how lightweight it is (even with all my stuff I carry with me). I couldn’t help but start my week off with…

So if you’re like me you always wear heels everywhere… the one problem, well their heels and after sometimes even thirty minutes your feet start to hurt in your shoes. Depending on the day I can deal with it but sometimes I just want my outfit to still look cute, even in flats. I came across Tieks, the best invention for shoes… EVER! Literally, the metallic gunmetal color is my first pair and I can’t tell you how amazing they are! I fold them in half (yes they fold) & they fit perfectly in my purse! I bring them with…

Yes, I joined the ever-growing trend! I finally got a monogram necklace! I wore it yesterday with one of my favorite floral skater dresses & I got so many compliments on my necklace I had to share it with you all! I got it from Jane Basch and it’s one of my favorite necklaces ever! And yes a ton of celebrities wear the brand too, which is how so many people know of Jane Basch! I was going through a magazine the other day and saw the featurette of one of the monogram necklaces!!! I’m so glad I decided to get…

It’s one of the perfect days where there is nothing but blue skies for miles and it’s not too hot but not too cold! There is a light breeze but not too much. I decided to put on this amazing dress from Hutch design and I simply couldn’t forget to pair it with these perfect pink heels from Just Fab! The dress was so comfortable to wear and I love the color block effect! I’ve seen so many celebrities wearing this trend and I’ve been looking for the perfect outfit to fit the trend! I was so glad when I…

So today I went to the hair salon and had to change up my look because fall is here! I had about 4 inches cut off and added layers around which I have to say I love it! My hair was one length and for those of you who have long hair you know how hard styling it can be, especially when your hair is thick, which mine is! I added in more ombre highlights and got a few statement platinum pieces added, which I love! I’m so glad I got it done! The added curls were a plus for…

I have to say I’m becoming a huge yoga fan! I hadn’t really taken up yoga before but this past month I decided to try another form of fitness. I’m a huge runner and I always run at least 5-8 miles every other day. I get to clear my head in a day and focus on what I need done. It gives me the energy I need for the long days! I love working out later in the day. For some reason (even though I know morning workouts are best) I love running during sunset. I can’t tell you how…

So I just got this necklace yesterday from T+J Designs and I have to say I’m in LOVE with it! I love the gold color and the colored gems! It’s perfect for anytime of the year! The best part of this statement necklace is it wasn’t too heavy! I have so many gorgeous statement necklaces but they are so heavy I don’t usually wear them because they aren’t comfortable to wear for long periods of time. But this one is so light I didn’t even know I had it on! I’m in love with this! And I know so many…

So it’s Wednesday and that means it has to be a pink day! 😉 I couldn’t help but include all this week’s ‘Must-Have’ items that I simply can’t go without! I featured this amazing hot pink dress from the Original Piece Boutique online! I couldn’t help myself but wear a bright color dress a few more times before summer is over and I’m pulling out my fun fall wardrobe! I also can’t go this week without my Vera Bradley umbrella and cross body handbag in the new teal color! It’s been raining a lot so my umbrella is a ‘must’…

So I decided since summer is going to be coming to an end soon and fall colors are going to start trending I might as well do one last bright nail design! I used my new polish from KB Shimmer, which I love! It has stayed on my gel manicure for over a week now and not one chip! I decided to do a tribal accent nail and you know I love a touch of sparkle so I couldn’t help but use one of their new silver glitter polishes for the accent color! And no I didn’t plan out how…
