Happy New Year!: Joyful January


Can't believe it has already been almost a full week of 2019. I am not sure what this year has in store for me (besides some of the obvious changes with graduation) But I am determined to make some memories and do my best to make it an overall positive year.


I have a few resolutions this year but I try not to stress about them or do anything that seems unattainable or too specific. Instead I just have a few mindsets and goals to keep in mind for the year. I wrote some examples in my bullet journal as well as prompts to look back on 2018 and look towards the future of this year (and yes I STILL haven't filled this out). Writing these down is just a good reflection tool for myself and helps keep me accountable.

I have also decided that each month this year I will choose a word (starting with the same first letter of the month) to focus on during the month. For example for this month I am doing Joyful January so this month I will focus on finding joy in things I do and see as well as simply producing and finding my own joy within myself. Cheesy I know!!

My bullet journal for this month is pretty similar to what it has always been but I have actually added a collage page. I'm hoping to add small pictures or other small light mementos like tickets to the page as a bit of the recap for the month. Not sure how it will work out but its something new I have been wanting to try.

What are you looking forward to this year? Do you have any resolutions? Let me know in the comments!

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 ...
