When I set out to design my room this year the two key phrases I kept in mind, were cute but cozy. While it’s still a work in progress I love the way that my room has turned out and would love to share how all of my DIYs have been added to my space.

Today I Wore: Smile for the Camera!
16 Nov
This semester, as I’ve said before, has been super busy but amazingly rewarding. Over the summer I applied for an internship at a local news organization, and have been blessed with the opportunity to test out my skills in the field of journalism! Aside from interning I’ve been ‘weather-girling’ (is that a verb? I’ll just go with it) for one of my school’s local news shows, EIV at 6.
I have had so much fun bonding with the crew and cast of the show, and working on my skills as a reporter!
Although it is a bit funny to see yourself on TV!
This shot is from a shoot I did on a local haunted house in Salem! It was so fun getting to go behind the scenes of a haunted house, and see all the spooks and scares up close. Here’s the package online if you’d like a bit of a scare yourself! 
This is a simple outfit look, that would be great for an internship or being on camera! While blazers are a bit on the way out, despite what my teacher may say, it’s always good to have one handy. For shoes, be sensible, but I just love these retro style Kimchi Blue pumps! For a dress, keep it classy and in a fun color that compliments your coloring! For accessories keeping it simple is always good, but a bit of sparkle never hurt anyone! Lastly, for hair keep it chic, cute and styled.
Are any of you in the field of journalism? Doing internships this semester? If the photos aren’t enough check out last week’s election show here!
Have a great weekend! *Sparkle On and Wear Bows*
Halloweekend Style
27 Oct
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays because it combines two of my favorite things, dressing up, and eating candy! This year my friends and I have been celebrating Halloween this weekend (and lovingly call it Halloweekend) and I had so much fun dressing up and making memories with friends! Read on to see two costumes I put together from items I already owned!
Earlier this week I decided to get a hair cut, to be a bit more professional for my journalism internship. I’m still getting used to not having so much hair, but my new cut was perfect for a flapper costume! (Plus I’ve been reading The Great Gatsby on my train rides to interning and I was just in a jazzy mood!)
This first costume was a Gatsby-esque flapper! Starting with a fun drop waist dress, I added black gloves, a fun pearl and ribbon necklace, T-strap pumps and of course a feather head piece!
It was so fun to be a flapper, and it helped me ease into my new haircut!
The next night I channeled some old time Hollywood glam, as my favorite style icon, Audrey Hepburn! For this costume I used a black vintage dress that I got a Goodwill, reused my black gloves, topped it off with my detachable peter pan pearl collar. And I can’t forget the crown!
We had so much fun dressing up as Elmo, Hutch, and a cat!
I just love Halloween! Have you started celebrating ? What was your costume? Let me know in a comment below!

Today I Wore: Sweet Summer Songs
25 Aug
“In summer, the song sings itself,” or atleast that’s what William Carlos Williams believes, and I happen to agree with him. This summer has truly flown by at a breath taking speed, and I’m already facing down my senior year of college, my boyfriend’s move to the west coast (for the semester), and seeing my younger sister go off to college. As such the last few days have been super busy from squeezing in drinks with friends, shopping for supplies, and seeing my boyfriend play in a show! Read on for some photos and a video of some sweet summer songs!
