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. I use the word “random” loosely, because not one ounce of me believes it really was. Anyway, enough 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!

Live Life Alive
Relaxing With Rembrandt
I’m a wannabe yogi. Yes, I envy the cool outfits, cute mats, and the Instagram opportunities. But more than that, I envy the relaxation and “zen” state that yogis are able to achieve. Unfortunately, I’m pretty much as anxiety-ridden as it gets. I’ve been told for years that I should try yoga, but the thought of […]
