Especially as a life and style blogger, it's no surprise that I love to shop. I've noticed a pattern and... I have this thing for stripes. When I shop, I tend to gravitate towards striped shirts and dresses in particular. Based on my current closet, one can come to the conclusion that I can't resist a good quality and reasonably priced striped tee. They go with so much! Colors, neutrals, florals (in some cases) and more. A striped top is a versatile staple piece that every fashionista …
Instagram’s Newest Update – What Changed & Why
Instagram is becoming known for shaking things up. Especially after the uproar from the Instagram algorithm fiasco, it's really no surprise that they've done yet another update to their app. But... this is a bit different. Instagram's most recent change was visually focused. (A bit of a facelift if you will.) They updated their logo to a simple gradient icon of the colors featured in the original logo and they traded in their blue and white color scheme for a white and black one which allows …

May ’16 Playlist
It's finals week, so I've been knee deep in final papers, projects and test preparation. I've had my earphones in and blasting music because I've found that it's one of the best ways for me to focus. In particular, I've been playing "Running Out" and "This Is What You Came For" quite a lot. Here are my musical picks for the month of May. Take a listen! ~ Listen on Spotify ~ What are some of your favorite songs this month? …
Looking Up in Chicago
When I was a little girl, I absolutely loved going downtown with my family. We'd hit up the American Girl store (my favorite place on earth when I was younger), grab lunch and walk around. I have vivid memories of staring up through the sunroof of our car as we drove down Michigan Avenue. I'd crane my neck to look up at the tops of all of the tall buildings and marvel at the different designs. Flash forward to today. I'd definitely say that it's rare to see someone standing in the middle of the …

The featured quote, "keep on seeking and you will find," seemed appropriate for this time of year. I registered for my final semester of fall classes yesterday. I can't believe that I'm going to be a senior!!! Class registration always seems to bring out college students' ideas and plans for the future. There's anxiety, but also a …
