Graphic Tees

Sep 29, 2016


While Fall arrives in full speed and brings with it newer and crisper trends {note: I am talking about Paris Fashion Week}, we here on the West Coast are still having trouble letting go of summer. Living in California, we really only experience one type of weather, so the casual chic look is something that is constantly being rotated in our closets. We are those people that wear the same things year-round because I mean, why not? One of those main staples from a summer closet that are definitely coming with us into the fall season? Graphic tees.

This past summer, all the "it" girls were sporting cute graphic tees with all their outfits. Also kudos to those girl bosses, Song of Style and SincerelyJules, creating their own lines! It is such an easy trend to fall in love with and master with little to no effort. You can dress these up, layer them, or simply just wear it alone. These tees are stylish and versatile--a lazy girl's best friend. So go get your hands on some of these! Xo

Bucket List: No. 2

Sep 22, 2016

It is literally only week five of the new semester and I am already pulling out my hair contemplating whether I should drop out of school and sell my blood for money instead. {Kidding about that last part, really.} I mean, how do they expect me to find the latest fashion trends or discover cool new locations to visit and write about it by reading When Corporations Rule the World by {something} Korten? That's probably why studying abroad is my preferred method of learning, cause I never actually studied. And yes you can tell my parents, they already know what they paid for. So can I go back to doing that now? My mom would probably say "hell no!" so I'll just stick to daydreaming instead.

So rather than starting those papers I should be writing or reading assigned chapters of boring books, I am online curating my perfect life on Pinterest, discovering the newest travel destination for millenials, reading beauty articles on Byrdie, and lurking celebrity life on the new iOS 10 "news" app. {Never really liked #Brangelina anyway.} I mean, I guess school is good for me. It really motivates me to procrastinate on other things that do not count towards my grade--like looking up these new places I really want to visit and blogging about it. Like really, my wanderlust is out of control.

Now please excuse me while I doze off into these destinations.

1. Mount Olympus, Washington
I went to Washington state with my sister this past summer and it was more than anything I expected. It reminded me an awful lot of Ireland, partly because of the gloomy i'm-gonna-kill-myself weather. Unfortunately, we did not get to visit Mount Olympus and we so wish we did. My mom went a year back and since then, it's been on our bucket list. So Washington, we will be back!

2. New York City, New York
I went with my dance team in high school, but it's just not the same when you're older and can do a lot more than eat hot dogs on those NYC street carts. There's so much life in the city and especially when you're a fashion blogger stalker, there is so much to see and do {and EAT}. If I had the guts to leave this California weather and live anywhere else, it would probably be New York City.

3. literally-every-part-of-it, Iceland
This place has been the newest craze for everyone and their mom and thank to WOW! Air, it is so so so affordable. Ever since Ireland, I have been dying to come here! Aside from these gorgeous views and awesome cliffs, I still want to visit the Blue Lagoon. {Kim K went there, i'm sure you know exactly what i'm talking about.} Sister, when you read this, we are going and that's that. Just saying.

4. Amalfi Coast of Italy
It doesn't matter how many times I go to Italy, I will never get tired of this place. I have already been three times and there is no reason for me not to come back. Surprisingly out of those times, I never have been down south to the Amalfi Coast {which has always been a dream of mine}. I want to rent a cute car and drive along the coast, eat at a restaurant off the cliff sides, and rent a boat and sail off the coast. I want to eat, breathe and live everything Italy. Dear Future Husband, please take me!

5. Bali, Indonesia
Bali was on the list of my last bucket list post.. but I am going in December, so it's going to be on the list again! I have been getting a lot of travel inspo on Pinterest and Song of Style's Bali travel guides are a lot of help. The forests, rice fields, clear blue beaches... i'll just leave it at that.

Split, Croatia

Dalmatian Coast

Sep 20, 2016

Visiting Croatia has literally been a dream of mine since my mom visited a couple years back. This past May, it finally happened. Studying abroad in Dublin, Ireland this past semester has opened so many doors for me in regards to traveling and exploring Europe and I am so thankful I was able to cross Croatia off my bucket list. Since it is a summer destination, I saved it for last and it was my last hoorah(!) before my trek back to the states.

My cousin met me in Dublin and we began our Croatia adventure as soon as my exams were over. Because Croatia is known for being a summer destination with insanely clear blue waters, we decided to plan the trip around these kinds of popular spots. We skipped Zagreb and opted to stay in Dubrovnik and Split. {I only started watching Game of Thrones after this trip. Eek! But yay for King's Landing.} We also visited some Croatian islands and took a drive down to Montenegro {to find out Casino Royale wasn't actually filmed there.. disappointed, but the views made up for it.}

Overall, this trip was everything I expected and more! Croatia is beyond beautiful and should be a must-visit location for everyone. So get your camera, bathing suit, towels and hiking shoes {for the waterfalls} and get over to Croatia NOW!
 *just a note: these are all a combination of photos from the Croatia trip and my photos do not do this place any justice.
