Last week, I ran a poll on Instagram Stories to see if you guys would be interested in seeing a “weekend recap” category on the blog. All but one person said yes, so here I am trying it out! If you find it ridiculously boring, please feel free to let me know…preferably in a nice […]
Oui ou Non? My Guide to Paris
I’ve been talking about going to Paris for the last couple of years, but for one reason or another it never worked out. I had been with my family as a kid, but I was too young to fully appreciate it. Earlier this fall, I finally said YOLO! I asked my best friend from home, […]
To Do List: STORY NYC
Imagine a retail store that changes its vibe as often as you change yours? Enter STORY. My friend and I stumbled upon STORY, a retail space in NYC, while we were walking to Chelsea Market. We were drawn in by the eccentric, colorful windows. When we walked in, we were greeted by a super friendly […]
My Weekend in AZ: A Novel
This past weekend, I flew across the country to visit my best friend, Rachel. If you read my study abroad post, you’ll know that she was one of my randomly assigned roommates during my semester in Barcelona.

It also happens to come from one of my all time favorite movies. I think this is something we all tend to forget during the hustle and bustle of this […]
The Liebster Award
Trying to get your blog recognized and expand readership is a lot more difficult than you might think, especially because of how many other bloggers are out there. The great thing, though, is that the blogging community is very supportive – and I’ve recently been trying to join that community. I was nominated for the […]
Weekend Recap: #LDW
Labor Day is about paying tribute to the hardworking Americans that make our country what it is. It’s also about paying tribute to those bright summer outfits you’re having anxiety about not getting enough use out of. Since this blog is all about color and making statements, I thought it’d be wrong of me not […]
New England, New Adventures
This past weekend, one of my best friends came to visit from Philly. She’s a born and raised Florida girl, though, so I wanted to show her a cliché New England weekend! She’d visited me once before, but it rained almost the entire time – just our luck! This time, though, the weather was absolutely perfect. On […]
