The final day of Teen Vogue Fashion University was a short one, featuring only one speaker, but she was by far my absolute favorite and the one that I had been looking forward to all weekend! Erika Bearman, AKA Oscar PR Girl of Oscar de la Renta, delivered the "graduation" speech to all of the Edit/PR/Social majors at TVFU. Bearman is such an inspiration to me and her job is pretty much the epitome of what I would love to do one day as my career! Bearman had worked for Burberry and Dior before …

Teen Vogue Fashion University – NYC Day 2
It's time to recap the first full day of Teen Vogue Fashion University activities in NYC!!! Friendly disclaimer: I wanted to make sure that I put the time and effort into this post that it truly deserved which is why it's going up so much later than I originally expected! This is what happens when you're a full-time college student who's also running a fashion and lifestyle blog while balancing that with a full weekend of sorority initiations, attempting to get enough sleep, battling a cold, …

Bowtiful NYC – Day 5 Recap
On our fifth and final day in New York City, Mary and I grabbed a quick breakfast of bagels and acai bowls before heading out for another busy day! That morning, I got to meet up and chat with with Carly from The College Prepster over coffee. Carly was one of the bloggers who inspired me to start my own blog almost three years ago, so it was so nice to meet her in person! It was great to get to know her a little bit better and chat about the blogging industry as well as what's it's like to live …

Super early on the morning of day four, Emily headed back to school for a midterm and I went back to sleep for a few more hours.... a bit later, Mary and I woke up and got ready for our day! For breakfast we headed to Irving Farm Coffee Roasters and had some delicious oatmeal with fresh fruit as well as some maple lattes. Such good coffee! Then, we walked around by Columbus Circle and peeked in some of the shops, including the Eloise gift shop at The Plaza! We also made reservations …
NYC ’14 Haul {video}
As most of you know from the numerous photos and blog posts I've put up recently, I went to New York City last month!

Here's the final product! {Click HERE to Watch} I'm hoping to get back into the swing of posting YouTube videos …

Our third full day in NYC was unfortunately Emily's last day with us before she headed back to school, but it was a super fun day! We started off the morning with a short cab ride to Norma's at Le Parker Meridian for brunch. {me attempting to vlog while Emily captures the moment} The hotel lobby where we waited for our reservation was absolutely gorgeous and it reminded me of a museum! The stone work, vaulted ceilings, massive skylight, and metalwork were all beautiful. The time passed so …
