The Last Few Weeks

The Last Few Weeks

Even though it's about a million degrees out today, (actually it's 70, but for February that's a million) we do still have some cold weather left to trudge through. It's a very weird in-between time for all of us regular people. It's still cold out but all the shops have started featuring bikinis and sun [...]

Back in London

Back in London

Day One A few weeks back I made the mistake of looking at flights available to London and "accidentally" finding a really cheap one, I made a bit of an impulse buy and two weeks later jetted off to London. It was a quick trip but it was packed with lots of good sights, food [...]

East Side Fairytale

East Side Fairytale

I am fairly certain I had dreams about this skirt. After my boyfriend pointed it out to me in And Other Stories' Regent Street store I went through every emotion from dismissal to infatuation. Regardless of what I was feeling at a certain moment, it was clear I was pretty obsessed. Anything that originates in [...]

Joie de vivre

Joie de vivre

No matter how hot it gets, I still pull out my Mom jeans. Something about the wider fit makes them the only pair I can bear during the summer. Plus, I don't like wearing heels with anything above the knee. It's all about balance. The same goes for accent colors. I was always wary of [...]

The Case for Quality

The Case for Quality

I think this dress is one of the best things I've purchased in a long time. Even though it was more expensive than I usually go for on an average day, I'm really glad I went for it. It's very quickly become my favorite piece for summer, and given that it's in navy, it can [...]

Usual | Unusual

Usual | Unusual

I know posting on a Thursday is a bit random, but I didn't want to wait until next week for this one. Yesterday I had been feeling (once again) a serious lack of motivation, especially in my writing. I was groggy and out of it, which led to guilt, which led to more grogginess, which [...]

Earn Your Stripes

Happy last Monday, everyone! This is in fact my last Monday as an undergraduate here at UMass. In less than two weeks I'll have graduated and be out on my own with nothing but an English degree, a young adult novel that isn't stapled and a record of my best outfits. Well, not really. I'm [...]

In Bloom

Welcome to Fake Monday, everyone. Even though today is Tuesday, UMass decided it's a Monday: I have Monday classes and a Monday work schedule. To really hammer the idea home, my blog post is coming to you all today as well. Even though I really appreciated sitting in the eighty degree sun while sipping my [...]

Spring Fish

Happy Monday! It's finally a morning where it's feeling like spring. This oversized striped shirt is the perfect pick for an airy spring day. The colors are light and bright and fit right in with the weather. They are contrasted really well with the black overalls, making the colors all the more vibrant. I like [...]
