Just because it's past Labor Day doesn't mean that I'm going to stop wearing white! I love the color white and these jeans are the bomb! After looking for the "perfect" pair of white jeans, I'm very pleased with the fit and even more so with the price! photography by Ola Wysocki What I Wore Ann Taylor Embellished Tank (similar) - J.Crew Factory Jeans - B.P.

Feels Like Fall – SOREL Campus Style
Hey lovelies, happy Friday! I'm very excited to be teaming up with SOREL and Teen Vogue for today's post to share my favorite pair of boots from their fall line and to let you know all about the #SORELstyleCONTEST that's going on right now. SOREL is such an iconic brand and their boots are absolute classics. I remember having a pair of their snow boots when I was a toddler that I absolutely adored and that were passed onto my younger sister years later. The craftsmanship of their boots is …

Friday Five
Hey lovelies, happy Friday! I realized recently that haven't done a Friday Five post in a while, so it's time to share five things that are on my radar this week! 1. I'm so excited to announce that I'm a Teen Vogue Ambassador and that I'm going to be hosting a BTSS (Back to School Saturday) trunk party next weekend with Teen Vogue to celebrate school starting up again!

September ’15 Playlist
Happy September! It's official, fall is right around the corner! I'm back at school, getting used to my new classes, and starting to get excited for sweater weather! Obviously, it's not anywhere near sweater weather currently, especially this week (it's humid and around 90º). Here are a few of my favorite songs for the month of September! My personal favorite this time around is probably "Real Life" by The Weeknd. His new album, Beauty Behind The Madness, is absolutely amazing!!! I've had the …
Motivational Monday: The “M” Word
I don't know about all of you, but this weekend absolutely flew by for me! Granted, I was working both days, but this weekend felt especially short. Now that the weekend is over, it's MONDAY. I've never understood people who "hate Mondays." I'm definitely a morning person and I like being busy, so maybe that's why I don't hate the "M word" after a weekend. I saw this on Twitter today while I was headed downtown and had to share because I thought it was a great piece of Monday motivation and a …
Crown Fountain
This late in August it's typically ungodly hot and humid, but it's been quite chilly in Chicago recently! Not so long ago, it was super warm and the perfect weather for visiting Millennium Park on a regular basis (which Ola and I most definitely did this summer.) Crown Fountain, known by most as the "weird faces that spit water," is one of my favorite spots in Millennium Park because of how open it is and how it's such a hub of happy. Kids are running and playing everywhere, parents sit and chat …
Gearing Up For College with Office Depot
One of my favorite things about going back to school is getting new school supplies for the year! I've loved this tradition ever since I was very little and even in college I still love getting to pick out fun new notebooks, pens, planners, pencils, highlighters, etc. for my classes for the semester. Office Depot was super sweet and sent me to one of their stores this year to pick out some fun back to school goodies to get ready for back to school and #GearUpForCollege! Office Depot had tons …
Back to College, Third Time’s a Charm
As I type this, I'm sitting downtown at my usual pre-class spot, eating my usual pre-class breakfast, but there's a whole lot about today that really isn't all that usual... Today is the first day of my junior (Yikes, where did the time go!) year of college. Yes, I'm taking communications classes and core classes per usual, but I'm also starting to regularly work a new part-time job and learning how to balance that with being a full time student, being in a sorority, blogging, and also making …
Lilly Pulitzer Oakbrook
I stopped into the new Lilly Pulitzer store at Oakbrook recently and I'm officially in love. I've been waiting for what feels like forever for an official Lilly store to open in Illinois, so naturally as soon as it opened I booked it over there to see the space, shop, and snap a few pictures. I ended up purchasing the Kirby top and I had a great time chatting with all of the incredibly sweet sales associates! While there, I found out that one of them is actually one of my readers! It was so nice …
