Steal Her Style: Silk Scarf

November 14, 2016 2 Comments

After ‘redesigning’ the aesthetic of my Pinterest (I’m not ashamed, go check it out), I’ve become a lot more aware of my personal style. It’s classic, it’s preppy, and a little bit trendy too. When I found this photo (source unknown), I instantly fell in love. I’ve been wanting to try the silk scarf trend for a while now, but I haven’t found the perfect way to wear one. Looks like my inspiration is just below.

Back to the 90s

November 11, 2016 7 Comments

I’ll be honest, I was never really a true ’90s kid, given that I was born in 1997 and I’m the oldest sibling. I wasn’t high on fashion, either: I don’t think I owned a lot of Justice or Miss Me jeans. When the choker trend came back around, I kind of rolled my eyes and let it go, thinking it didn’t fit my style. But after going to Kansas City last weekend with friends to see Ben Rector in concert (highly recommend), I was swayed.

I tried the choker on in the store, already having had the gold necklace on, and was surprised at how good it actually looked! It definitely took some getting used to something so tight and close to my neck, but it didn’t feel weird by the end of the night. My friend told me that my look went from preppy to edgy just with this one statement piece…hey, I’ll take it!

You can’t see in this picture, but I’ve definitely hopped on the Adidas Superstar trend..I’ve been wearing the white leather sneakers almost every day since wearing them. They’re so much more comfortable than Converse.

Along with the choker, the second 90s trend I hopped back on was the button-front skirt. This red corduroy version is perfect for gamedays (honestly, if I didn’t religiously wear my jersey every Saturday, this would be my go-to gameday outfit.

Brand Feature: Laurel Denise

September 26, 2016 No Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve been slacking on the blog lately and I really don’t have any excuses, just trying to keeping up with homework and my new major! I plan on doing a Thursday update soon, but you can watch my sorority’s official bid day video to hold you over until then. (Catch me on the left at 1:19.) It was really cool being on the other side of things for recruitment and being able to welcome the new members to our house.

Today I’m featuring a brand I’ve been loving lately. When I went to Waco, TX, in May, I obviously had to visit the Fixer Upper/Magnolia Silos with my family. My parents watch the show more than I do, so there was no convincing needed! The Magnolia shop has a ton of very cute things, and if I had an apartment and way more money than I do right now, it would be my go-to place for decorating. However, I wanted a little souvenir from the silos and found this bracelet.

Laurel Denise makes these gorgeous leather patina bracelets and other jewelry as well. The one I have right now says ‘grateful,’ but I would love to get the one that says ‘choose joy’ as well! Along with selling her beautiful jewelry online, she is also selling these three exclusive bracelets on Magnolia’s website that say ‘radiant,’ ‘create,’ and ‘bloom.’ She engraves each piece in her handwriting to make a gorgeous, unique piece of jewelry.

Here are some of my favorite pieces that she creates (and she does custom pieces too–bonus!).

10 Colorful Semi-Formal Dress Options

September 13, 2016 1 Comment

Semi-formal season is coming up soon! I love seeing everyone’s dresses for homecoming or semi-formals, but there’s usually a common trend and it’s hard to stand out. With these dresses I chose, I tried to pick different silhouettes and colors that go against the typical fancy dress (think fit-and-flare with sparkles). You can absolutely re-wear all of these dresses for other events and they’re at reasonable prices as well. I wore my sophomore year homecoming dress to my sorority formal this past spring, so I’m all about reusing dresses! Here’s 10 reasonably priced semi-formal options that’ll withstand the trends that pop up each season.

A List Greek Jewelry Review

April 19, 2016 1 Comment

I’m so excited to share this collaboration with A List Greek today! Their founder, Hope, was kind enough to reach out to me and send me some fun jewelry to share with my friends. A List Greek is sold in a couple local boutiques around town and it’s definitely a popular way for girls to wear their letters in a way that’s not overly flashy.

This is my cousin Rachel rocking the Sigma Kappa state necklace and the Sigma Kappa stack rings. Even though the necklace is small, it’s a great way to combine a piece of home or your university with your letters. The rings are adjustable as well, so you can make it fit your fingers and they won’t fall off easily.

This is my friend Emalee wearing the Gamma Phi Beta state necklace, the Gamma Phi Beta stack rings, and the Gamma Phi Beta hair ties (in the confetti picture)! My favorite thing about all this jewelry is how transitional it is–it’s subtle enough to wear to work or to class, but super cute to wear out or for a sorority photoshoot! The hair ties are a great way to show off your sorority without even trying, because let’s be real here: when are you not without a hair tie?

Along with the jewelry and the hair ties, Hope sent me metallic flash tattoos for everyone too! While they’re not the type of thing I’d throw on for class, I’m excited to save them for bid day or date parties coming up in the fall. I’ll be showing off a couple photos on my Instagram throughout the week with my Alpha Delta Pi jewelry, so be sure to follow me to get a look at how cute everything is.

While A List Greek is primarily a website for sorority women, they also have a lot of custom jewelry options for girls looking to customize their jewelry with their initials or their favorite phrase. I think their bar necklaces are one of the best options for custom engraving with a lot of space.

Thanks for reading and thanks again to A List Greek to giving me this opportunity!

Thursday Threes

February 18, 2016 No Comments

I’m rounding up the week again with some links I’ve been loving recently.

Have you heard of the idea of a capsule wardrobe? With the lack of style I’ve been sporting lately (you can only do so much when you need to stay warm), the idea of spring and warmer temps definitely appeal to me. The Everygirl rounded up a guide to a capsule wardrobe for spring, and I’m considering putting together my own version (most likely with way more prints though)!

If you follow me on social media, you’ve probably seen that I founded a chapter of Spoon University at my school. (You can follow us on Twitter and Instagram to get a sneak peek at content!) We’re launching soon, and I’ve been way busy with interviewing people, brainstorming ideas, emails upon emails, and holding meetings. Naturally, I’ve been looking for inspiration for articles, and I came across this one about 13 new ways to eat vegetables. This actually has helpful tips and while I can’t use a lot of these when I’m at school, it’s given me some ideas for those weekends that I get to go home.

I saw Nike Women’s Instagram on my recommended page and gave it a follow a while back, so I’ve gotten sucked into their 21 Days of Better for It program. It takes 21 days to build a habit, and while I’ve tried using the Nike Training Club app before and I’ve gotten to week 2 of Kayla Itsines’ BBG challenge, I was never really committed enough to continue. I just finished week 1 today and it’s super easy so far, which is encouraging me to keep going. We’ll see if I finish it though!

Have you tried any of these? Let me know in the comments.

Old Navy Printed Shorts

July 17, 2015 2 Comments

I found these shorts at Old Navy and was hesitant at first. I’ve been trying to branch out more with my clothing style- although this outfit probably doesn’t seem very different. After some consideration of what these shorts would match with, I convinced myself to buy them and I’m so glad I did! I’ve worn these shorts a ton since buying them. I’d recommend sizing down, though, they run a bit large. Even better, they’re on sale for under $15 right now.

watch // fitbit flex band // medical bracelet // arrow bracelet

This medical bracelet from Stamped Expressions Co on Etsy is something I’ll be wearing every day from here on out. I was worried about the fit at first, but since the bracelet is aluminum, I can bend it to fit pretty easily. Cute medical bracelets are pretty hard to find, but this one is subtle. (And the rest of her bracelets are just as adorable!) I have my allergy printed on the inside along with my mom’s cell phone number just in case anything happens. Before my most recent incident with my allergy, I had never really noticed how big of a deal it was. If I ate something containing tree nuts or peanuts, I would usually end up taking a Benadryl, then throwing up several hours later. However, this time, I broke out in hives from my head to my thighs and had to go to the hospital for two doses of epinephrine and was put on an IV of steroids. This experience made me realize how dangerous my allergy can be. While I never got to the point of anaphylaxis, the whole episode was very scary and I never want to put myself (or my family!) through that again!

Graduation Party with Daniel Wellington

June 5, 2015 2 Comments

I’ve finally graduated high school! One of my favorite parts of graduating was having a party/open house for me and my friend Madie. We’ve been best friends since kindergarten and had plenty of photos to decorate with! I’ll share more pictures of the adorable decorations and everything in a later post, but I wanted to put this up first.

I received this gorgeous watch courtesy of Daniel Wellington a while ago. The pink stripe with the navy is perfect and the watch is amazing quality! (Side note: I was worried about the face size because I’m used to smaller watches, so I went with the small size. It works perfectly and doesn’t feel ‘uncomfortable’ at all!) One of the great things about these watches is the ability to change out the straps. I haven’t bought one yet, but I’m eyeing the Classy Glasgow.

I used this tutorial to make the confetti numbers–it was our cake topper!
This is Madie!
I want to give a huge shoutout to my mom and Madie’s mom (left and right respectively) for helping with all the planning! So much work went into this party and they were so dedicated to making it perfect for us 🙂 Heck yes we got a bouncy house for our party. Best decision ever.

Hammocking is a Verb

March 11, 2015 3 Comments

Let’s start off by saying: when 60 degree weather rolls around in early March, I’m going to take advantage of it.

Everything in this outfit is old from Old Navy (surprise) but these shoes are new! These driving moccasins are super comfortable. I wear a size nine normally and they fit just right. My mom has them in navy too and likes them just as much. She’s a kindergarten teacher and is on her feet all day, so when she finds a comfortable shoe, you know to take her advice.

If you like hammocking just as much as me you probably noticed my ENO in the background. I have a Doublenest and I think the size is perfect. They’re out of stock on the ENO website, but REI sells them too! I have the Slapstraps Pro with my hammock. My favorite thing about this is that I can string it up anywhere in record time. Without me in it, the hammock is at the height of my neck, so my neighbor taught me the best way ever to get into it…

Same Necklace, Same Earrings, New Look

March 4, 2015 2 Comments

Remember this post featuring my pearl necklace and knot earrings? Yeah, they’re back. In fact, this pairing is in constant rotation because it works perfectly with any outfit. Today my Spanish teacher commented on how “pearls dress up any outfit” and I completely agree!

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter or basically know me at all, you know that I love my dogs to death. I make Rosie, my golden retriever-border collie shelter mix pose for anything that she’ll stay still for in pictures. She usually puts up with me and I like to think that she loves taking the pictures too…(she probably doesn’t)
