Girls Supporting Girls

It's finally February! We made it through one of the longest months of the year. Congrats! This week, in light of recent women's marches that went on throughout the world a couple weeks ago, I thought I would talk about how we can better support the community of women in our lives. Whether that be the women in your workplace, an online community of women you've never met, or just your closest confidants and best of friends, we should all have each others' backs! You might not have made it to a women's march near you, but here's how you can support women on a smaller, but still important, scale.

My Book Recommendations: Fashion & Otherwise

Today, I thought I'd touch upon some of my favorite books, some based on fashion and others just amazingly well-written stories. I'll go into why I love each book and why I think you should give it a try yourself. Also, one of the personal goals I've set for myself this year (and one I set for myself nearly every year, but don't always succeed in), is to read more books. With that in mind, I'd love if you could leave your recommendations down below so I can start compiling a list and then reading!

What My University Years Have Taught Me

I hope you are all having an amazing weekend filled with hot chocolate and cozy evenings by a fire or with a great movie. Today, I'm excited to share with you that I am officially a university graduate! I am proud to say, I graduated yesterday with my Bachelor's of Fine Arts. Looking back on the past four years and all the things I have accomplished has inspired me to write here on the blog about some of the important things I've learned during my undergraduate degree.

Hi Fall/Winter 2017 Trends

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. I am completely loving this cool fall weather, which in my book means drinking hot tea, stepping on crunchy leaves, and wearing all the cool weather appropriate items!

In true form, I have compiled the definitive list of pieces you need in your Fall 2017 wardrobe.

How To Accessorize Like a Fashion Blogger

This fall I've been experimenting with different types of accessories and how to style them successfully. Although I'm quite a minimalist when it comes to accessories, I do like to add touches here and there. After researching how all of the most fashionable of fashion bloggers are styling their accessories, I've come up with my tips for successfully embellishing without going overboard!

Spiced Up Outfit of the Day

How has your weekend been? I hope it's been great and comment below what you've been up to. Last week I talked about some of the most inspiring women in my life, so if you haven't read that yet, check it out here! This week I wanted to talk about one of my favorite outfits right now and why I think it works.

Inspiring Women Who I Look Up To

I'm sorry to start off on such a serious note, but today, I want to dedicate this post to my incredible, strong, and generous Granny. She passed away a week ago today, and I wanted to honor her within this post to say thank you for inspiring me so much. Speaking of inspiring women, I wanted to talk about some of the amazing women influence me on a day-to-day basis, and why I look up to them. (They also all have amazing style, of course!)

Making the Most of the Last Summer Days

How are you doing on this fine Sunday? I hope you've had a great week! I am trying to savor my last weekend before the semester begins tomorrow...I have to admit, I'm not entirely looking forward to it. I know it will be a lot better once I'm into the swing of things though, and this is the last semester of my undergraduate degree, so I need to make the most of it!

Anyway, on to the topic of this week's blog post. Let's talk about making the most of the last few moments of summer. Where I am, we'll most likely have at least another month of warm weather. While I am 100% ready for fall, I'm still thinking of all the summer outfits I need to squeeze in before it cools down. Below is my list of summer pieces you need to wear before it's too chilly!

Step Out of Your Closet Comfort Zone

How are you all feeling on this sunny Sunday morning? I hope you're feeling confident and a little experimental, because I've been challenged by Dia & Co. to 'face my fashion fears', and I think you should too! They've challenged me to wear an outfit/clothing item I might not normally have the confidence to wear, so I've decided to show a little more skin, wear some gorgeous colored sunnies, and some oh-so-badass boots.

This outfit featured a couple out-of-my-comfort-zone elements. I thought I might feel a little self-conscious wearing this, but instead I felt quite the opposite! Wearing this gorgeous outfit has surprisingly made me feel more empowered. The boots made me feel badass, the v-neck dress made me feel pretty and feminine, and the sunnies were of so cool.
