Vacanza Romana

Rome     Siena     Florence     Milan   I was in Italy for ten days as part of a mini study abroad program with my business school. We focused on local businesses and how they’re affected by globalization. We also studied how their practices are different from the big business mentality of…

A Year of Outfits: 2013

  • Dec 31, 2013

It’s hard to believe that it’s been half a year since I started this blog. I am so glad that I decided to do it. Blogging is not only a creative outlet for me, it’s also a whole lot of fun. When I first started this blog, I was embarrassed and unsure. I didn’t tell…

Tiptoe Through The Tulips

  • Dec 31, 2013

Jacket: American Eagle (old), similar at Asos Dress: Marshalls (old), similar at Asos Leggings: Gap Boots: Ugg This was my outfit for work today. I mixed up my schedule and accidentally went in fifteen minutes early and left half an hour late. I didn’t realize until I tried to punch out and it wouldn’t let…

A Smidge of Lace

Sweater: Marshalls, similar at Norstrom. Leggings: Gap Faux Leather Shorts (can’t really be seen): H&M, similar at Forever 21 Boots: Ugg Necklace: American Eagle (old), similar at Etsy.

White Winged Dove

Jacket: Forever 21, many similar at Etsy. Dress: H&M Leggings: Gap Boots: Ugg I wore this to work yesterday. I got the jacket for Christmas and I was very excited about it. It’s a pretty amazing Forever 21 find, given that it is real suede and was in the sale room for only $40. I had tried it on…

Christmas Eve Outfit Dress: Forever 21, similar on their website here.  Leggings: Gap Boots: Ugg I had to work Christmas Eve, but only until 6, so I was still able to go to my family party. It was at my grandma’s house for the first time in years and was really nice to be back…

Blazing Fire

  • Dec 23, 2013

Blazer: H&M Top: Kohls Jeans: American Eagle I worked a long shift on registers today, but it went by pretty quickly because it was SO busy! At one point the line was snaking into the rest of the store. I guess that’s to be expected working retail the weekend before Christmas! After work two of…

The Cat’s Out of The Box

  • Dec 21, 2013

…not Schrödinger’s cat. We’ll never know about that cat. But enough with the science/John Green references (Will Grayson, Will Grayson anyone?) It was ugly sweater day at work, so I finally had the chance to pull out this baby. I got it at the Goodwill for $4 last spring and I’ve been waiting for a…

Getting the shot… …and freezing. Sweater: Marshalls, similar at Forever 21. Leggings: Gap Boots: Ugg I have one final left, my math class at 8 a.m. tomorrow, and then I am done for the semester! Plus, I leave for Italy in less than a month! I’m so excited! I had the night off, so I…
