Fashion Blogger Lady
Oy vey with the outfit posts.
I've always considered myself a #fashionblogger but was too nervous to do outfit posts. I've done maybe 3 (?) but now I'm committing. I've also never loved photos of me. So I'm using this as not only a way to express myself, but empower myself. I am championing my doubt, squashing my fear, and assuring myself that I am in fact beautiful. Expect more photos of moi soon.
Now, back to our regular programming.
I'm really loving lazy weekends in Chestertown. Sunday was Mass, brunch, wandering around the Book Plate for hours on end, and reading on the beach. I am SO ready for Fall with lots of dark colors, scarfs, cozy knits, and pixie pants.

The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring. - Bern Williams
I am SO into spring right now. Maybe it's because we had a seemingly never ending winter. I've definitely adopted a 'mostly black' wardrobe for winter from my time in Scandinavia, but my spring/summer clothes are bright as can be.
With the last round of formals and senior events approaching, it is dress season. Luckily, Old Navy has some amazing style this season that are cheap and appropriate for any occasion, including work!
Items posted above include:
Steve Madden Booties // Bamboo Cutlery // Floral Kimono // ASOS Midi Skirt // Old Navy Jersey Dress // Ikea Flowers // Fruit & Water Carafe // H&M Dress
What are you loving this Spring?

Come On Warm Weather!
Featuring: Old Navy, TopShop, PiperLime, Philosophy, Anthropologie, Charlotte Rouse
I got an urge of inspiration to pick out a few of my favorite pieces for this spring! I'm so excited for colors, light breezy fabrics, flats and fun booties. It did snow in other parts of Maryland yesterday, but that can't stop me from dreaming of shorts!
Check back soon for something a little different... a fitness inspired post from yours truly.

#Fashion
I want all of the clothes these days. The more and more I think of which city I will move to after graduation, the more I think about how it will effect my personal fashion. I've been thinking about NYC pretty frequently as well as DC.
Does your city environment influence your fashion?

Winter Coats

Actually that's a lie, because it's going to be 70 at the beach this weekend.
However, I LOVE winter coats.
Check out a few of my favorites.

Look Out Real World
Today is my first visit job visit to meet with recruiters and discuss job opportunities in May.
Am I nervous? A bit.
I've had numerous internships and lots of experience, but I'm worried about 'selling myself' and knowing how to market what I want. Luckily I worked with the career center to polish up my 'elevator speech' for the big day, but never the less, it's still nerve racking!
This is kind of an awkward limbo for the application process. It's technically too early to apply seeing as how employers want to fill positions they are seeking immediately, yet not too soon to start looking. It's actually quite the tease. I've started compiling a list of all the job opportunities, where they are located, their application requirements, & websites to keep myself organized. Do any of my readers do something similar?
What are your best tips for the job hunt?
Any life experiences that have prepared you for the post college search?

Sweater Weather
Like every other person online, I am completely infatuated with Fall.
You will find me in sweaters until next spring.
How perfect & comfy does the Favorite Boyfriend Cardi from Forever21 look?
I may or may not have ordered it in 2 colors.

Falling for Fall
Falling for Fall by hilarybadger on Polyvore
Fall fashion is popping up everywhere and I dig it.
This season I'm loving booties, pom poms, olive green pieces, and black handbags.
Are you looking to try out a new trend this Fall?
PS. New article up on Sweet Lemon Magazine this week!

#OOTD
Happy Monday folks!
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I spent mine in DC attempting to unplug and unwind after an already busy summer. I only have about 4 more weeks left living on the Hill so its crunch time. So many fun places to visit, people to see, drinks to have, etc.
This 4th of July weekend I wanted to be comfy and fun. I had never paired these two pieces together before and it just felt right. While it was a bit warm here in the district, it was the perfect outfit for me to wonder about Capitol Hill.
Did you do anything fun this holiday weekend?

#OOTD
Happy Sunday!
So this was my first time doing an outfit post, and I was so nervous.
I normally hate pictures of myself so the idea of asking someone to take a picture of me to post for the world to see was not the easiest thing. My roommate agreed before I went out last night & I think it turned out ok? There is a nice little patch of purple flowers next to my row house on Mass Ave that I thought would be the perfect backdrop.
I was so excited to see my roommate & friends from Washington College at The Board Room for drinks in Dupont! My best friend from high school, her brother's band Harmonic Blue performed at the Rock and Roll Hotel on H Street. As always, they were great & I'm so proud of how popular they've gotten! It was an awesome night!
Sunnies: Ray Ban | Statement Necklace: TJ Maxx | Top: J.Crew | Shorts: Forever 21 | Flats: Old Navy | Bag: Lonchamp | Watch: Target
Do you have a new favorite outfit?
PS: Check out my best friends brother's band Harmonic Blue, I promise you'll love 'em!

Govloop & GLAM
Yesterday was another exciting day in the District.
It started off with my caffeine fix at Bagels & Baguettes and some work from home (which I love). I've got my little nook set up here in the WISH row house, and when you live with 8 people, its nice to have the space to yourself with the morning sunshine.
Is that too 'only child' of me?
Anyway, I Uber'd (I hope that becomes a verb, can I paten that?) over to a conference at the District Architecture Center which was gorgeous! It was such a fresh and bright space. I was there for Govloop's event, "Doing More with What You Have: WordPress in Government."
While most of the content was above my head in terms of tech, coding, and web development, it was still extremely resourceful from a local government perspective.
We heard from lead developers at WordPress, GovDelivery, and the Kaiser Family Foundation, however I was most excited to hear from Melissa Bell, the Blog Engagement Director at the Washington Post. She gave a fantastic [Prezi] presentation on how WashPost uses WordPress for most of its content and blogs.
Part of me felt a bit like a traitor, since I just moved my personal blog back from WordPress to Blogger to start over design wise, but nevertheless it was a day of learning and networking.
Last night I attended GLAM LLC [Give Labels A Meaning] Summer Fashion Event. GLAM is a nonprofit that works to give back to the Washington, DC community. The event's procedes were raised for Safe Shores DC which is a children's advocacy group that helps fight trauma and promote healing of children who previously faced abuse. A great group for a great cause & great fashion?
Simply perfect.
The lights and table arrangements were perfect for this space, it had a great energy last tonight on H street NE! The Bishop Boutique from Alexandria had the most gorgeous shoes as well as Milly bags. I might be making a trip there before the summer ends; a pair of patterned moccasins that live there are calling my name.
When I say they OWNED the floor, they owned it. Gorgeous outfits.
^^ These models worked it all night! Absolutely adored the pink two sided crop top. That looks like something I would wear to work!
^^ I could get over this vendor. I've seen her before at Eastern Market and her jewelry is just to die for, every Pinterest lover's dream. I found some amazing pieces of jewelry for about a quarter of the price they would normally go for elsewhere. I frequented this table all night but sadly left empty handed.
It was a seriously great day, lots of business cards swapped and lots of emails to write!
Congrats GLAM LLC!
Congrats GLAM LLC!
Looking forward to spending the night in Baltimore for Crabs & Boh's for my best pal's 21st birthday!
Did you have an eventful week? How are you spending your weekend?
