OOTD: Spring Blooms

Happy spring everyone! I'm happy April showers finally brought May flowers! I had walked by this tree countless times on campus on the way to the dining hall and I finally dragged my roommate to take photos of me in front of it! 

OOTD: Spring in Boston

Happy spring everyone! There is no where I love spring more than Boston. From the tulips blooming in the Public Garden to the trees budding in Boston neighborhoods, there is nothing not to love. A few weekends back I finally had the chance to get into the city and the weather was a perfect 80 degrees! Now as I'm writing this post it feels more like fall than spring, but hey that's New England weather for ya!

With the perfect spring weather and a trip into the city, I couldn't resist wearing my new Lilly romper I bought recently for only $35 (!!!!) at T.J. Maxx. I also figured it was time to fully break in my new Jacks, but I made sure to pack an extra pair of sandals just in case my feet started to hurt, which evidently happened. I knew Jack Rogers were going to be painful to break in, but I didn't realize how painful they'd actually be! Luckily after wearing them around the city for hours, I think they're finally ready to be worn all summer long!

Denim & Chambray Lookbook: Off the Shoulder Dress

If you've ever shopped with me, you know how much I love denim & chambray. Whether it's a shirt, dress, jumpsuit, skirt, etc. I want it all! I've acquired quite the collection of denim and chambray over the past few years and I'm so excited to show you all my favorite denim and chambray outfits.

I'm so excited to share my first outfit of my denim & chambray lookbook, which just so happens to be from Easter! This was the first Easter with my family's new puppy, Callie, so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to have a photo shoot with her. Let me tell you, trying to get a 5 month old puppy to cooperate and pose for a photo isn't easy. It was the perfect weather for Easter in New England, over 80 degrees and sunny, which gave me the perfect excuse to wear a new dress.

Strolling Florence in Soludos

While studying abroad in Florence, Italy, I took one of my favorite classes thus far - introduction to fashion photography class. For our final project we had to do an ad campaign for a brand with 10-15 photos with multiple locations, drawing inspiration from past ad campaigns from the brand. I decided there was no brand better for this project than Soludos, since the brand is so focused on travel. Although it would have been better if I took my photos in the cliff side towns of the Italian Coast, I took my photos throughout Florence using the Renaissance architecture and the Italian city as my background. Here are some of my favorite photos from the shoot: 

 

Junior Year Dorm Decor

Welcome to my junior year dorm! I spent the first semester of my junior year in Italy, so I recently moved into this room. I was so excited to decorate this year after living in such a basic and boring room in Italy.

If I had to describe my room in 3 words it would be cheerful, playful, and colorful. I wouldn't say there is any theme to my room specifically; I more so just buy what I like and hope it looks good together. I love living in a bright room with things all around me that inspire me and remind me of home. This year I incorporated a lot of things from my travels last semester, which you'll see throughout the photos.
