mood board
i haven’t had a chance to make a mood board in awhile and since my creative juices have been flowing a bit more freely lately, i thought i’d go ahead and make one. my style is full of black, white, gray, and gold these days (adventurous, i know). but why mess with something that works? i’m feeling a bit on the edgy side and have been eyeing metals and hardware lately. i found...

packing light: cosmetics
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...

updates
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...

summer
hi guys! happy friday! i took my last final yesterday and i’m now officially done as an undergraduate here at hopkins. it was a strange feeling to go to bed early last night knowing that i didn’t have to wake up and stress about work and class. these next few weeks are going to be crazy between graduation, a wedding in florida, and a trip to boston to help my brother look for an...

home sweet home
upon learning that i’m greek, most people ask me one of three things: how do you feel about the crisis? have you ever been? and my personal favorite: is your life anything like my big fat greek wedding? my favorite memories usually involve my trips to greece. unfortunately, these past few years have been tough for me and my family because we haven’t had a chance to visit....

the monday lookbook
hello lovelies! i am happy to report i submitted my papers for today and just have one last exam before graduation next thursday. it feels so good to be freshly showered and drinking some coffee while browsing the internet instead of cramming in a messy pony and sweats. speaking of comfortable though, i’ve been living in my vince sweater ever since i got it a few weeks ago and am...

i spy: beautiful interiors
seeing as i’ve written a grand total of five sentences for my ten page paper that is due tomorrow, i am proud to say that my procrastination knows no bounds. since my last post, i’ve managed to spend a disgusting amount of time on pinterest, sleep in, and go out to dinner. in an effort to procrastinate just a little bit longer, i’ve decided to show you some of the interiors...

staying organized: blogs
when i first started keeping up with blogs, i remember i had a bookmark folder on my browser dedicated to my daily reads. i’d open each one up individually, wondering how people possibly kept up with blogs regularly. a few months after that, i figured out how to work google reader through my google account. i was happy with it and even found a clean theme to override the original look of...

oasap
it’s finals week here and that can only mean one thing: plenty of online shopping as a means of procrastination. i fell in love with these items from oasap. they have such a huge selection to choose from and it can be somewhat daunting, but these are definitely some of my favorite finds so far. just look at the striped flats with the red detailing on the heel. they’ve got my name and...

beauty talk
let’s talk beauty, shall we? i’ve been doing a few things differently lately in my routine and i wanted to share.[[MORE]]
1. i went back to using my clarisonic 2-3 times a week with my korres pomegranate scrub. i stopped using it while i was breaking out severely this time last year, but now that i hardly break out anymore, it is perfect for keeping clogged pores under control.
2. i...

i can’t believe how quickly time goes by! after a long, stressful week it is nice to end on a happy note and celebrate my twenty-first birthday with the people i care about most. one of my resolutions for this year is to spend more time doing the things that make me happiest and remaining positive. this month will be filled with a lot of milestones for me, and i can’t think of a...
