All Those Pretty Lights
There's almost nothing prettier than the Chicago skyline all lit up at night. I know that most of these pictures are pretty blurry, but the city lights were simply gorgeous that night and I had to share even a slight taste of the view from the harbor. I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I love my city! ~What I Wore~ top - J.Crew; shorts - J.Crew; necklaces - Charlotte Russe and Personalized from Me to You; shoes - Jack Rogers; bag - …

College Life: Move In Day!
The big day has arrived...it's move in day!I officially move into my residence hall this afternoon with my fabulous roommate and friend, Ola. I can't believe that today is finally here! I have been packing all week and making trips to the store for random bits and pieces that I've realized I needed. At this point I feel pretty prepared, but I'm sure that once I'm settled in I'll realize that I need to pick up a few things. I've lived in the same house for almost all of my life, so this is …
Lilly Endless Summer Sale
Yesterday morning was extremely stressful. Why? Lilly Pulitzer's Endless Summer Sale, of course! Per usual, the site was crashing from the very beginning of the sale (8am EST) due to the crazy amount of traffic from Lilly lovers and re-sellers alike. By now you think our friends at the Pink Palace would have "gotten their shift together" and know that they would need more tech support and a better web server for these events. But no. Just like last year, for the first few hours of the sale you …

Taylor Swift Red Tour ’13
This weekend I went to see Taylor Swift on her Red Tour at Soldier Field with my friend Rose. Oh. my. gosh. The show was absolutely amazing! Chicago was the last stadium performance on her world tour and it was sold out with 50,000 people in attendance. That being said, we actually ended up in the same section as four other people I knew; what a coincidence! One of the coolest moments before Taylor even started singing was when the entire stadium did the wave together. It went around the whole …

Friday Five
1. The weather here has been ridiculous. As I mentioned in my Fall in July post, the weather seems to be quite confused. The average temperature has been in the high sixties- mid seventies in the past week and it feels as though fall has come early. It's still summer.... can we please have it feel like summer? 2. via Instagram I got new glasses! Most of you were probably unaware that I have glasses, but that's because I wear my contacts all the time. It was time for my …
