Who doesn't love a skater dress? They look great on everyone. That is your cue to purchase one the next time you're out shopping. 

The season for returning back to school is finally upon us. I cannot believe how quickly the summer has gone by this year. I feel like I just made the two-hour drive from campus and now I am turning around to greet my senior year of undergrad right in the face.

Every now and then it's important to step outside of your comfort zone with your wardrobe. Try a new style or new cut. This summer alone, I've tackled my fear of cropped tops and bikinis. What are you afraid to wear? 

You finally decided to big chop, now what? You can read my big chop story here. I got my hair cut this weekend, so it's heavier up top and tapered on my sides and back. I'm still getting used to it, but I love that it's easy to maintain.

I can't stress how much I love t-shirts. Like they are comfortable and inexpensive, which makes them perfect for recent grads like myself. I am determine to find as many ways to style t-shirts as possible.

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation has changed the game. It is inexpensive + keeps me from looking like an entire grease ball before lunch time. I have been using it for the past 3 days and can't stop raving about it.
