the monday lookbook

May 29th 2012

hi everyone! sorry for the delayed monday lookbook - i only just got back from florida this afternoon. it was nice to get away and i have lots to catch you up on once i get some free time. this week will be super busy, as i am traveling back to baltimore tomorrow to pack up my apartment and move out and going to boston on friday. my trip to florida included catching up with my extended family at my cousin’s wedding and lots of beach time in clearwater and sarasota - the beaches there are amazing. since the weather definitely feels like summer, i’ve been living in comfortable clothing and sunglasses. you can’t go wrong with a white t-shirt and cute panama hat. i got mine a few years ago from j.crew and love it for the beach!

packing light

every time i pack, i try to find more and more ways to limit the amount of things i bring. my philosophy is the lighter, the better. i’d rather invest in a few great products and outfits than have a million options and bottles floating around. while i tend to use more products on a daily basis, i’ve learned to figure out which ones are really essential and those that can be left at home for a few days. some general things i’ve learned along the way:

hi guys! just wanted to check in with you and let you know that i graduated today (eek!) and have a wedding to attend in florida this weekend. i’ll be flying out tomorrow morning and will be back on tuesday. i’m treating this trip as a mini vacation since we’ll be there a few extra days and should be going to the beach too. my brother graciously gave me his old camera which means more personalized posts and more frequent updates as well as getting the shop up once i get back. i’m super excited, especially since i will have a lot of free time on my hands and it will keep me busy this summer. check back soon! xx

the monday lookbook

May 21st 2012

i woke up to a rainy morning and have been praying that the weather will clear up by thursday. this weekend was extremely relaxing and i’m so glad i had a chance to head down to georgetown - i finally found a dress for graduation! i’m really happy with it and i’m sure you’ll be seeing lots of pictures of me in it this week at some point. i also went in for an impromptu manicure/pedicure while waiting for my boyfriend to run a long errand and the woman did such an amazing job with my nails, i’m still speechless. as a chronic nail biter, i have never seen my nails in such good shape and it has definitely inspired me to find a great salon once i move to new york so i can keep my hands healthy and pretty. it’s funny how money can shape everything; i haven’t tried to bite them once after knowing i paid so much to get them done and don’t want to ruin how great they look. my style this week is all about day dresses that are comfortable, easy, and chic. i love them paired with a bright pop of color (nails, bag, sandals) and will definitely be investing in more this summer!
