My Favorite Stores (Plus How I Get the Best Deals)

Image
Here is a list of some of my favorite clothing stores to shop at as well as some tips and info that can help you save money at these and other stores 1.) Francesca's : You've probably noticed that most of the clothes I have featured on this blog are from Francesca's. This place has the cutest styles and they are always up to date on the latest trends. Their have very decent prices, especially because the quality of all of their products are really good. It is literally impossible for me to walk in there without buying at least a pair of earrings. (Currently there is a sale, BUY 1 GET 2 40% OFF) 2.) TopShop : TopShop is my favorite clothing store in Chicago! (Sadly I don't have a full store in Ohio so I rely on the TopShop section in Nordstrom). The store has a wide variety from edgy to sweet and offers a wide arrange of price points. They always have jewelry items on sale that are a steal. Overall most of the clothes are great quality and if you don't have a

A Night at the Cabaret

This week I decided to travel up to Granville Ohio to see a cabaret show with my mom. As much as I adore  all things theater and Broadway, this is not something  I do very often so I was very excited for this night. The cabaret was put on by the Weathervane Playhouse in Newark and was performed at the Granville Inn. The performers were excellent and what was extra special was that the performers and other actors of the theater were sitting at the tables with us. Everyone I spoke to was excited and friendly so that really enhanced the experience. If you are ever in Newark I highly recommend seeing one of the musicals at the Weathervane Playhouse (I'm hoping to get tickets to Peter and the Starcatchers) or see their next summer cabaret show at the Granville Inn on July 17th. If you are a fan of musical theater these are the summer events for you! Click here for a link to the Weathervane website for info on upcoming shows and events! The dress I wore on this night is one of my n

Birthday Blast

I recently celebrated my 21st birthday and all I can say is, it was a total success. To celebrate my birthday I had an amazing brunch with a group of friends, went to the opening of the pool for the summer season (perks of having my birthday fall on Memorial Day), and had a lovely dinner with my family (dress shown below).  I have never been a huge drinker so turning 21 for me wasn't just about being legally able to drink, it was more about realizing that I am becoming a real adult (because lets be honest turning 18 does not feel like becoming an adult) Turning 21 also made me examine the current situation of my life. I am very happy where I currently am. I have great friends, I have adopted a new healthier lifestyle, I'm doing well in school, and I am jumpstarting on my career. Accomplishing all of these things has made me proud but I have also realized that I can always improve on all of these things. This past weekend made me realized how truly blessed I am, but it also made

Style in Film: God Help the Girl

The movie “God Help the Girl” released in 2014 starring Emily Browning, Olly Alexander, and Hannah Murray. it tells the story of a young women (Browning) who copes with her mental issues by writing and performing songs with her friends (Alexander, Murray). The film is written by and features songs by the Dublin indie pop group Bella and Sebastian. The film has a cute quirky storyline filled with great music and amazing style inspiration. Also disclaimer: this film may cause you to have a dire need to form your own band even if you possess absolutely no musical ability, I'm just warning you now because i had to find out the hard way. the story line follows the main characters through the start of their newfound band and friendship and the problems they experience on the way. Although the things i absolutely adored about this film was the music and the clothes. As I mentioned before the songs were written by the group Bella and Sebastian. All the songs have this great indie
