How to Set a Budget

I’ve been getting emails requesting for me to write a post about how to organize, set, and stick to a budget. Two problems with this. The first is that I don’t feel comfortable sharing my personal finances on here… and the second is that budgeting significantly differs for everyone. I’ve seen “downloadable” budgets, but… it’s really…

Backup iPhone Battery Charger

How cute are these backup iPhone battery chargers??? They’re at J. Crew right now and I think they’re going to be an amazing “stocking stuffer” for this holiday season. If you’re anything like me, a low battery is most definitely cause for panic. Keep one of these stored in your handbag for emergency situations! You’ll be…

Giveaway :: DKM Accessories

It’s super crazy that I’m now working with DKM Accessories. I’ve been shopping there since I was eight years old! Who would have though that fifteen years later I would be emailing and texting the owner? I love it! (It’s definitely one of my favorite things about blogging in general.) I’ve also witnessed DKM grow…

Mad for Plaid

While we did have our first snow (!!!) earlier this week, I’m not quite ready to get into the holiday spirit. Kudos to everyone who can listen to Christmas music all year round without getting sick of it. I love it, but grow bored (and a little annoyed) within a short period of time. So I’m…

In Good Health

I wasn’t sure if I was going to even approach this topic on here (there are, in fact, aspects of my life that I keep offline). However, I figured that maybe this would be serve as a good reminder or even a lesson. Basically, I had a not-so-insignificant health scare last weekend. I’ve always been…

Mittens Inspired by Mittens

It is so cold outside! Oh my word. Everyone warned me about New York winters. I wrote them off saying that I had survived the cold in DC just fine. Nope. Way colder here. Not to mention the fact that it’s just the beginning of November. I’m seriously already dreading February. Because I can only…

How to Style Turtlenecks

I have to admit, I’ve never liked turtlenecks….  I have horrible memories as a child feeling like I was choking. I have memories of pulling that tight little neck part over my head and having the frizziest, most staticky curls in the world. And, of course, I have memories of that itchy itchy itchyness. One…

Missing the Sport

It’s weird… I really never missed crew after I quit. I had an amazing senior year without the sport (truthfully). I definitely do not regret my decision to quit. At all. However, I kind of do miss it. I think it’s like missing any part of college (sororities, friends, exams– LOL just kidding). While I only…

My Morning Routine

Despite the storm, Levo League still hosted Office Hours last week. They’re 30 minute live streamed sessions with career experts and mentors. Tuesday’s session was filmed from a dentist’s office (gotta get creative when there’s no power!) and Thursday’s was filmed in my apartment! I love Office Hours. I feel like I not only learn a ton, but…
