Teen Vogue Fashion University – Oscar PR Girl
The final day of Teen Vogue Fashion University was a short one, featuring only one speaker, but she was by far my absolute favorite and the one that I had been looking forward to all weekend! Erika Bearman, AKA Oscar PR Girl of Oscar de la Renta, delivered the "graduation" speech to all of the Edit/PR/Social majors at TVFU. Bearman is such an inspiration to me and her job is pretty much the epitome of what I would love to do one day as my career! Bearman had worked for Burberry and Dior before …
Teen Vogue Fashion University – NYC Day 2
It's time to recap the first full day of Teen Vogue Fashion University activities in NYC!!! Friendly disclaimer: I wanted to make sure that I put the time and effort into this post that it truly deserved which is why it's going up so much later than I originally expected! This is what happens when you're a full-time college student who's also running a fashion and lifestyle blog while balancing that with a full weekend of sorority initiations, attempting to get enough sleep, battling a cold, …

April ’15 Playlist
Happy April and April Fools' Day! It's my birthday month as well as the last full month of my sophomore year... where did the time go?!? I picked a really wide variety of songs this month, but I think my favorite song would have to be "The Age of Worry." It's short, sweet, and I play it at least twice a day. I love the line of the song that says, "Don't be scared to walk alone. Don't be scared to like it." Happy listening!~ Listen on Spotify ~ …
Stomping Around Soho & TVFU Kickoff – Day 1 Recap

I flew in on a Thursday night with my family friend, Mary, and my friend from school, who's also named Mary. We got in relatively late after our flight being …
