Sephora + Drybar Haul
There were a few things I needed from Sephora, and a few things I just really wanted. My pencil sharpener had fallen apart, so I needed to replace it; and I was nearly out of skin toner – which, to me, is essential. Continue Reading →
Rifle Paper Co. iPhone Cases
These are too cute not to share.
On November 17th, exactly a month away from my birthday, my dad came home with a little present. He told me it was my birthday gift, and that I had a choice: open it now, or wait for my birthday to open it. Continue Reading →

Holiday Gift Guide (40+ Gift Ideas!)
Did you think I’d leave you hanging for gift ideas? Never.
December is host to two of my favorite things: Christmas and my birthday (on the 17th!). I’m just not one of those people who pay no heed to their birthdays. I love ‘em. It’s my excuse to splurge on myself and be queen for a day. Hey, I’m an only child – I like attention.
So in the spirit of the Birthdaymas season, here’s a huge compilation of things I’m drooling over, that I think would make great holiday gifts, from tech accessories to beauty products to books and more. Continue Reading →
Song of the Day: Let It Go
Let It Go, sung by Idina Menzel for Disney’s Frozen
I saw Frozen last Friday and haven’t been able to get the songs out of my head since, particularly this one. I belt it out whenever I’m home alone! Such a powerful, beautiful song.
Nails of the Week: Frosty Silver Bells

Sweater Weather H&M Haul
I really hate being cold. Whenever I feel cold, I am gripped by the passionate desire to never, ever be cold again. Unfortunately, the heater at my office has been broken for the past few weeks, so I’ve been perpetually cold both indoors and out.
This has caused me to buy things like sweaters, thick socks, scarves, and coats in excess lately. Continue Reading →
Nails of the Week: Fancy French
I try to do my own nails whenever possible, but there are two things I just can’t do myself: Shellac and French manicures. So when I went to get my nails done last week, that’s what I got the professionals to do. Continue Reading →
Song of the Day: Got To Be Real
Song of the Day: Got To Be Real – Cheryl Lynn
If this doesn’t make you feel like you’re living in a late 90’s rom com, then I just don’t know.
Fall/Winter Movies I Want to See
I’m a film buff for many of the same reasons I love to read. Good films have the ability to transport you anywhere on Earth (even beyond it!), past, present, or future; and they allow us look out at the world through the eyes of all kinds of people. Movies allow us to forget ourselves and our surroundings for a while and try on different lives, as easily as trying on hats. Continue Reading →
Halloween 2013 Costume 2: Audrey
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of my favorite classic films. It stars Audrey Hepburn and takes place in New York in the sixties. Plus, it’s so beautiful and romantic. What’s not to like?
For this year’s Halloween costume, I decided to dress up as Holly Golightly, Audrey Hepburn’s character in the film. It’s one of Audrey’s most iconic roles – and outfits. Continue Reading →
