Weekly Skinny: April 24th

Only five days until summer. Seriously where on earth did junior year go? In just a week, the class of 2019 will graduate and I will enter into my final year of formal education. It's a little scary to think about, and if I look back on this year, I might cry just a little bit. I've already turned in 3/5 finals and only have to edit one more paper and take one written test. A long recap of the year, how I grew, and what I learned will be posted on Tuesday so I hope you check

Business Casual for Spring and Summer

Business Casual for Spring and Summer

A business casual wardrobe is crucial for every twenty-something to invest in before you graduate college. When in college you need this wardrobe for presentations, capstone classes, and sorority chapters if you choose to go greek. These clothes are critical for job interviews and internships as well. When I was a freshman I had absolutely no business casual clothing and found myself scratching my head over what to wear for professional events. From then on, have slowly start

Black and White in Spring

Black and White in Spring

It's skirt season! I almost never wear skirts or dresses before April and now I can finally style my favorite minis for the spring. This cute look is brought to you today courtesy of NA-KD fashion! They supplied me with this cute as ever Levi's distressed black denim skirt. I styled this skirt with my white flutter-sleeve blouse from J. Crew. Sadly, this top is from two summers ago, but I linked a few other down below! I love the contrast of black and white, even in the sprin

16 Bags to Take to Work

16 Bags to Take to Work

In just two weeks college students will start their summer internships and grads will be headed off to the real world, ready to work 9-5 (yikes!). Starting a job in a professional environment can be extremely nerve-wracking and the best way to give yourself a confidence boost is with a great outfit and a fabulous work bag. The power of the work bag is silent but powerful because it makes an incredible statement as to what kind of employee you will be. It provides a polished,

Weekends in Navy

Weekends in Navy

It's been a bit of time since I posted a classic navy and white outfit. The turn of spring and summer reminds me of nautical trends and colors, which prompts me to pull all of the navy and white I have up to the front of my closet. Navy and white goes hand in hand with stripes too, which is why I also shared several navy and white striped tops to recreate this look. I love styling shorts with sweatshirts and thicker tops when the weather is in its mid-sixties and low seventie

Best of The Brands: April

Spring fashion is here!! When it comes to dressing for the springtime, I try to keep things on the simple side. There's no need to excessive layering when the weather is warm and the sun is out. I think you can show off you personality with a unique pair of jeans or shorts and a cute blouse or bodysuit. With a simple outfit, throw on a pair of cute sandals and some fabulous accessories and you'll have a fashionable and trendy look that was pretty effortless to create. Right n

Weekly Skinny: April 3rd

Weekly Skinny: April 3rd

What a crazy week it's been and it's only Wednesday! I've already had meetings upon meetings and I even stayed up until 2:30 a.m. the other day absolutely lost in my work. I'm the type of student and worker who can get completely lost in a task and can't stop until it's finished. Markley Prescott took over my mindset the other night which resulted in an unexpected late night. In addition to exciting launches and fun announcements, this week I started enrolling in classes for

Are You Pitching Yourself Properly?

Are You Pitching Yourself Properly?

The art of pitching has been around for centuries and has evolved over the past few decades. Not only is this a way to captivate employers and investors, but it's a critical skill to know for when you go on internship and job interviews. Now, pitching walks a fine line of confidence and narcissism and it's important to know what to say and how to say it. Today's post is to help those who are currently searching for internships, research projects, creative projects, and other

April Showers, Bring May Flowers

April Showers, Bring May Flowers

Can you believe it?! It's April already and I'm not quite sure how we got here so quickly. I have less than a month left in my junior year. In fact, I enroll in my senior year classes tomorrow morning at 6:30 a.m. and I'm not sure how I feel about it. With the closing out of the semester comes warmer weather and sunnier days. The past week in Virginia has been breezy and beautiful, which has caused me to pull out my shorts and striped tees. This weather is the slight whisper
