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 me realized that there is so much more for me to accomplish. Some of my favorite gifts I received was some Lush items from one of my best friends, a S'well water bottle (trying to drink more water throughout the day as well as being less wasteful), and a beautiful pair of Kendra Scott Earrings from my parents. Overall it was a great birthday and I can't wait to see what my 21st year has in store for me. Also be on the lookout for upcoming post where I'll wear some of the amazing clothes I received!
What has been your most monumental birthday? What is your favorite way to celebrate a birthday?

Starting With the Basics

Image
For my first official blog post I decided to start with a classic. And what is more basic and classic than a white button down shirt and jeans. I love the casual breeziness of this look and the fact that is it a true classic staple. I decided to amp up this look with a bold red lip and a large floppy hat.  This look is also perfect for this springtime, when the weather is nice but you're not quite ready for shorts and a tank just yet.  One thing you should know about me now, is that I always like to have fun with style. Whether it's fun prints, statement accessories, or bold makeup I will always do my best to bring my look up a notch but still feel comfortable and confident in my look. Because honestly it doesn't matter if you are wearing the most basic or out there thing, if you wear it with confidence you will always shine!  Tell me some of your favorite classic pieces? What is a item that you think will never go out of style? Feel free to comme...

My Fall Break: Doing All Things Autumn in One Weekend

Image
Ya this is about a week late, sorry but I've been pretty busy (sadly my senior thesis isn't going to write itself) But I did recently have a great Fall Break back in Ohio. During this break I succeeded in my goal to do all things Fall related. I arrived Friday night, so first on Saturday I went to the farmers market with my friend Jess. Also on Saturday my dad and I went to the Ohio State game (my first time actually attending an OSU game if you can believe it). It was so much fun we walked around beforehand and checked out the tailgating scene. Going to Loyola I miss out on football tailgating so it was great to experience it. We also saw the marching band perform before the game which was also a great experience. The actual game was a lot of fun, even though it was pretty stressful. Even though it was 80 degrees it was still a perfect fall activity. Also that weekend my family and I went to a corn maze and market. The corn maze itself was fun (not very decorated or diffi...

Im Back Baby!

Image
Goodbye Ohio Hello Chicago! It feels so great to be back in the city to start another school year. Junior year honestly creeped up on me so quickly I'm still in shock. Every year I'm worried about adjusting back to city life after a whole summer back in my home town and every year the second I get back I am right back in the swing of things city views I can't wait to see what this school year has in store for me. New classes, New internships, Friends old and new, and New experiences galore. Be ready for more posts coming up where I give a tour of my new crib (best decor yet), showcase my new work wardrobe, try my hand at cooking, and just share new experiences in this city I have chosen to become home. And FYI Ohio is still home to me (It is possible to have more than 1 home) 1st day of classes outfit Also I am a person who focuses more on School Year Resolutions, as opposed to New Years Resolution. This year my resolutions are to focus on my own happiness and ...
