15/20
April 13, 2014
The other day I put together this flower arrangement in a spare mason jar and dropped it off on a neighbors porch with a note wishing them well. I hope they brightened their day! I'm still on schedule to make it to 20 by June 15th, but I could use some inspiration. So if you have any ideas, let me know!

How Clothing Can Solve Your Problems
April 8, 2014

Last week I talked about the power of fashion, and why I love it. Today I'm expanding on that with a few simple tricks.
Sick? Dress up. I know that all you want to do when you feel like crap is binge-watch One Tree Hill, wear your boyfriend's old gym shirt, and wallow in self-pity. However, I am a firm believer in faking it until you make it. If I look put together, I automatically feel 10x more put together. Statement jewelry is a cold's worst nightmare.
Feeling overwhelmed? For me, a messy apartment means distraction and little motivation. I can't get work done, until I have space (here's looking at you last week's outfit still draped over my desk chair). When my closet won't shut, and I'm storing purses within purses to save space (#guilty), I know it's time to say goodbye to some clutter. I know it's hard (yes, I do need 31 cardigans and 11 striped t-shirts), but it's so rejuvenating.
In a slump? Revamp your wardrobe. Now I know what you're thinking, sounds like an excuse to online shop, amiright? In all seriousness, a new wardrobe, or more realistically a few new pieces, can work wonders for your soul mojo. Just like in junior high how back to school shopping made the end of summer bearable, a new wardrobe can get you pumped up and motivated to get sh*t done.

*I hope you all know that I do not actually think that clothes can solve all of my problems (just 96% of them #retailtherapy).
Purple Trench
April 7, 2014
Trench: Jones New York (old, similar here). Jeans: Gap. Flats: Old Navy. Purse: Topshop (old). Sunglasses: Rayban. Scarf: from a market in Italy (similar).
My mom is the best gift-giver. She gave me this coat for Christmas a few years ago, and it has become a spring staple ever since. Color is such a fun way to jazz up a classic trench.
This weekend was a blast. My friend Sarah and I drove to Madison, WI to visit our friend Malorie. We ate a lot of food, did some catching up, and enjoyed the sunshine (!!!).
