Dogeared | State of Mind

Maybe it’s the weather (it seems like it’s always the weather nowadays)… or maybe it’s that I finally got off the worst emotional roller coaster (ever)… or maybe it’s that my family just got back from Mexico… or maybe it’s just that I’m realizing that I’m 23 and a real adult who doesn’t feel grown up. Regardless…

It’s PI Day!

Happy Pi Day! Sorry, I’m such a nerd. What better way to celebrate this gloriously nerdy day than rounding up the most delicious pies I can find! Pies were supposedly going to be the new cupcake, but I don’t think it really caught on as well as everyone thought. Pies are just a little bit too…

Myers-Briggs Personality Test

I’m always fascinated to hear about different people’s personality types. Finding out more about my own is also interesting. I think that what I love the most is how every single person is different (even within each “bucket,” everyone is still unique)… but that is exactly what makes the world so much fun. I first…

Scallops

I’ve been doing a bunch of style posts recently. Namely this is because I’m completely bored with my wardrobe. So many of my clothes have carried over from college (and, frankly, quite a few pieces from high school). I feel like I should be dressing up more instead of opting for the absolute most comfortable outfit…

The Etta

So I (like everyone else) took a break in the workday to watch this new video by J. Crew. Let’s just say… I’m going to J. Crew tonight to buy a pair. Beautiful. I’ve never been so inspired by shoes before. Jenna Lyons is quite compelling in this video. Omg, shoes. (In all seriousness… I bought a…

Dresses on a Budget

I’m not the type of person to go out and buy “trendy” clothing. (I’m still regretting the ripped jeans from high school!) It’s not that I’m against trends, I’d rather just not spend a lot of money on something that will end up at the bottom of my closet in a few short months. And…

Trust

Trust is a funny thing. There are so many caveats and nuances wrapped up within that one little word. To trust is both simple and challenging. To be trusted is both an honor and a burden. You want to trust someone… but you also don’t want to lose that trust. You want to trust yourself when…

spring forward

How did you fare in the spring forward? I was having a weird semi-stressful Saturday. (When did weekends become so crazy?) I got in bed extra early with a new book and just relaxed. I have to say, it was kind of perfect. Because I went to bed so early, I didn’t feel any different…

Spring Things

We’ve had our first official taste of spring. It is beyond welcome. It’s a weird thing to be bundled up in down coats and trudging through slush one day and the next day rolling up your sleeves and donning ballet flats. I was eating brunch with someone the other day and we were commiserating over…
