This summer has been amazing — I’ve written stories, befriended coworkers and learned a lot on the job — I can’t believe it’s already over. Seriously, where has the time gone? Now, I’m busy getting ready for my next adventure…  only 11 days until I take off […]

    Dressing Up Chambray

    I love chambray shirts just as much as the next gal, but I especially love how versatile they are. It’s easy to dress one up with a printed pencil skirt and heels, or you can dress one down by layering it over a graphic tee. You really can have the best of both worlds with a denim-like shirt. Target […]

    Almost All White

    If you follow me on Instagram, you know I am obsessed with my leopard sneakers — seems like they’ve been in every other photo I’ve posted recently. Originally, I fell in love with a similar pair by Steve Madden, but with my upcoming semester in Italy, let’s face it, I don’t have the budget for $80 shoes. I found […]

    Shades of Blue

    Garden Party Skirt

    Thrift shopping is one of my favorite things to do. Why? Because it makes me so happy when I find hidden gems, like this garden party skirt. Although I may not know what brand it is, I immediately fell in love because of its similarity to the ASOS floral skirts I have been eyeing lately. I paired mine with a […]

    Farmers Market Style

    My mom and I stopped by the Farmers Market on Saturday to enjoy a beautiful morning outside. We picked up fresh sunflowers and ate yummy breakfast sandwiches while strolling around Des Moines. The key here was the comfortable shoes (obviously, right?) since I knew we would get in a fair share of walking. I picked these simple white […]

    Gap 1969

    Gap shirt | Gap jeans | Target heels | Express necklace | Aldo bag (similar) | Charlotte Russe bracelet* While I often admit to being slightly dress-obsessed, it hasn’t been uncommon to catch me in my Gap 1969 jeans lately. I got mine with the ankle inseam and so far have found ankle jeans really can be worn with almost any […]
