Thanksgiving is right around the corner and if you’re like me and the rest of the country, you’ll probably be doing a little bit of traveling. Packing is one of my least favorite activities on the planet, so I always try to pack items that: A) don’t take up a lot of space and B) are versatile for all occasions. What’s my secret weapon? Cardigans!
Makeup Monday // Julep Nail Polish
For this week’s Makeup Monday, I thought it would be fitting to kick off Nail November by featuring Julep! For those of you who haven’t heard of Julep they are a fabulous nail polish company based in Seattle that sells toxin-free polish and spa goodies. Julep was one of the sponsors of IFBCON, where I got introduced to the pretty polishes. The fun part about
Graphic (Sweater) Material
Ever been to an ugly sweater party? Well, that’s kinda what the fall ’12 runways were like except the sweaters were super chic and fabulous. The graphic sweater trend has really picked up speed in the popularity lane the past few weeks and naturally, I had to get in on the action. I debated about what type of graphic sweater I wanted to try out.
Pictorial Procrastination // Garance Doré
A few days ago, I stumbled upon an article on Refinery 29 about a blogger named Garance Doré. I’d never heard of the French blogger, but was pleasantly surprised when I checked out her site. Her posts are quite witty and entertaining. My favorite part of her blog? She draws these fantastic fashion illustrations to go along with them. How cute are they?! I’m obsessed.
Check Your Coat
Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is safe and sound after Sandy. My thoughts go out to everyone that experienced difficulties and destruction, especially those in NYC and New Jersey! If you saw this post, you know that I had a chance to head back to Delaware two weekends ago for UD’s homecoming. It was everything I dreamed it would be and more. Sunday afternoon the
Tulle Time
In the midst of starting work in the real world last week, I was stuck in the predicament that always occurs this time of year, “What am I going to be for Halloween?” My original costume idea would need to be purchased and frankly, I was in no situation to be buying a Halloween costume. So I racked my brain and scanned the internet for

Pictorial Procrastination // Karlie Kloss
When I cracked open my November issue of Teen Vogue I wasn’t surprised to see Karlie Kloss’ baby blues staring back at me when I turned to page 120. What did surprise me was that the photo wasn’t for the latest designer ad campaign, but a charming article into her home life. The 20 year old burst onto the fashion modeling scene five years ago and
Pretty Painted Pumpkins
With it being October and all, I figured I’d dive right into the fall spirit than with some pretty painted pumpkins. After seeing fashionable pumpkins on Refinery29 , I definitely wanted to get in on this fun DIY action. I’m not too handy with sharp objects so I opted out of carving and stuck to paint brushes. I grabbed all of my supplies at Michael’s for around
Smells Like School Spirit!
It’s the most wonderful time of they year: UD Homecoming! It’s been a long 5 months since graduation and I can’t wait to reunite with all of college friends over a cup of low quality beer and bagels from NDB. Of course, no day of Homecoming festivities is complete without the proper blue and gold attire. I’m not a huge fan of clothing with labels
