So much to recap after an insanely busy week. The blog was a little sparse the past few days with me readjusting to a new work schedule. I'm excited to start sharing more on the blog though as summer quickly approaches! This past week has been full of internship updates! I started on Monday and already love it. I never really traveled into downtown Richmond growing up, so I'm a late bloomer when it comes to navigating the streets. I did end up taking a wrong turn on the way t

As junior year comes to a close, I can't help but look back on the past 8 months and thank God for everything my third year of college gave me. I always like to reflect on my years in school and find a common and persistent theme from the year. Sophomore year as all about finding myself and my personality within the JMU community. I changed my major, joined several clubs, and found my home at James Madison University. I coin this year, however, as the year of knowledge and in

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

Dressing up and going out with friends doesn't have to be complicated. Even I overthink what to wear to dinner with my girlfriends or out to a party, but I feel like I'm exhausting myself in the mean time. I love a simple outfit that I feel confident in and right now it's styling a neutral sweater with my denim skirt. This denim skirt is from H&M and only cost $25. I did a little extra distressing on them, but I love this high waisted skirt. It looks great styled with tights

We're in the dead of winter right now. Currently, Virginia is experiencing the coldest three weeks of the year. Annually, the first handful of weeks in January are frigid and bring single digit temperatures, meaning it's time to bundle up. Being in the middle of the Shenandoah Valley doesn't help either, but by now I'm a pro at dressing for a long day of class while keeping my look cute and warm. Today I'm sharing my four favorite outfits for a long day at class. Although I'm

Like normal, it's been a busy week for me at JMU. This week is all about Student Ambassadors. For those who don't know, I give tours at JMU and we call that organization "Student Ambassadors". This week, all of us older members are welcoming in new members. After four long months of applications and interviews, we narrowed it down to the select few who get to wear the purple polo and we've been celebrating with them all week. On top of the busy evenings of extracurriculars, H

A week in and it's already all Christmas music and holiday commercials. As much as I love seeing so many gift guides already published on several of my favorite blogs, I'm not quiiiite there yet. That being said, I do want to share a few of the things on my wish list this month. November is a month of saving, saving, saving. Although easier said than done, I really need to keep an eye on my savings because with the holidays coming up, there just isn't too much money to spend

In a pinch to take photos the other day, I started researching fall trails in the Shenandoah Valley that I could quickly visit to snap a few fall photos. As I was searched I ended up finding a result for Shenandoah Lake, which actually wasn't a trail in the Shenandoah Valley. Instead, it's a 35-acre plot of state-owned land located in the middle of a neighborhood only 10 minutes from me. This beyond beautiful lake just down the street complete with canoe racks, fishing docks,

Since moving to school I've rearranged my room about four times trying to find the perfect set up and I think I've finally done it. I feel at home here, I feel comfortable here, and I feel welcomed here. I love this room set up and love coming here, wiping my feet at the door and taking my shoes off. Last year I lived in a little shoe box room and actually loved it. The bed could only be placed long the wall and there was no other place for the desk other than right by the do

Get up, it's game day! Finally, football season is back in full force which means us ladies have to start planning our game day outfits. I have had so many requests to share some of my favorite game day outfits with you, and the ladies on last night's Instagram Live convinced me to share. I know we all go to different schools around the country, so I shared my outfits with my school colors and tee shirts, but of course, swap those out with your team colors and logos! Football
