2nd Semester Dorm Room Tour

Hey ya'll, I'm back on campus!

Winter break treated me so well and I sure was sad to leave, but I am so excited to be reunited with my friends and beautiful campus.

I've moved into a new dorm for second semester and thought it deserved a blog post. I've added a couple new items to my list of decor.

Dorm sweet dorm! I find most of my decor on various Etsy shops and any organizers at Target. My new Keurig is heaven!

What I'm Loving (thanks, Santa)

Santa spoiled me this Christmas and introduced me to some of my new fav products!

How on earth was I living my life without Stila? My convertible color compact is my new go-to. I feel very Mary-Kate and Ashley using an old school lip brush to apply, but the color goes on flawlessly! The lip glaze I like to use for special occasions since it's very glossy. My littlest sis, Clara, found these at Sephora. 

Another thing I'm not sure how I lived without is my mophie It charges my phone in the car, on the plane, while waiting in line at Starbucks - you name it. Great for long days on campus or traveling!

Cameron got me a Tiffany necklace for Christmas and I actually ugly cried. It is a dream come true to have a treasure like this gifted from someone I love so much. Also, there is no better sight than the signature Tiffany box under your Christmas tree (hint hint to all guys who may be reading this). Check out some of their latest and greatest here.

What are you loving after the holiday season?

Travel Essentials

This winter break, I went to my family reunion in La Ceiba, Honduras. As always, I had a great time seeing my family and hanging out on the beach with my cousins. I couldn't help but document all the fun we had (especially when it included fun, beach-y outfits)! So here's a look at my travel essentials that I took along:

First things first, you need something to haul your stuff from the plane to the beach/nature hike/family dinner. This year I took along my new Tumi backpack. I love it because it is so compact, yet it seems to hold everything (camera, additional lens, chapstick, the latest issue of Harper's - the necessities). If you'd like a something in a bag, check out Swoozies. 

A good book is a need. I finished Summer at Tiffany's, Marjorie Hart's memoir from the summer of 1945 where she worked as the first female page at Tiffany's in NYC. I highly recommend it - especially since it seems like memoirs are the new romance novels. 

This Evian mist was a stocking stuffer for me this year, and I was so excited to try it out! I used it after long plane and car rides to make me feel less "blah". You can find one for yourself at Sephora. 

My Fraternity Collection hat is my favorite for the beach, hikes up Pico Bonito, and just lounging around. 

Congrats to me on successfully keeping a pair of good sunglasses for over a year. These Vince Camuto's are so fun. My dad kept borrowing them when his got scratched, and it was hilarious to see him walking around talking to people in some cat-eyes!
