As I said before in a previous post, I always try to sneak in white with my outfits. I think it just brightens up everything, especially when you have darker colors in your outfit. Here in an outfit that I wore, that is perfect for that end of summer/beginning of fall look.

(present)ation...
When I receive or give a present, I believe it's all about the presentation. Even if your present just is a simple gift, making the outside just as important, makes your present so much more special. Recently I have been searching for some wrapping paper, and grabbing some here and there. (I also have realized that I have an obsession with stripes!)
One of my favorite places to find some cute, inexpensive wrapping paper is Marshalls. The green/navy and teal/navy paper is from there!
See you tomorrow!

fit + healthy snacks
Over these past two weeks I have been working hard, as far as fitness and health. I have been running a lot more and I have cut down on sweets and made up for them with fruits and vegetables. I am one who can say that I can't eat or drink much before a workout. After my workout, I would always feel famished and dehydrated, but not anymore.
I have found my perfect substitutes and ways to stay well hydrated while keeping my nutrition up too. Everyday, I normally go running in the morning, so I never would eat breakfast, which is an awful habit. I now hydrate with 6-7 glasses of water each day, and I have one glass by my bedside. When I wake up I drink a small glass of water, then I pick my option of fruit. I go for my workout and run, when I come back I eat a more substantial breakfast such as a parfait or eggs and toast. My four choices for easy to eat fruits.
1. Oranges/Tangerines | 2. Blueberries | 3. Grapes | 4. Strawberries
See you tomorrow! (with an outfit post!)

learning calligraphy
Wow, it is auctually hard to think that I could say this but I can write calligraphy! I have seen posts and pictures of it, and I never thought that it could be so simple.
For Christmas cards and gift tags I decided to try, just try to write my own calligraphy . I looked up "merry christmas in calligraphy" in Google images and this popped up!
After looking at it for a little while, I realized something so pretty looking didn't have to be so hard to do. Here are the steps in how I taught myself:
1. Write out the words (in your font) in pencil.
2. Trace them, in your pen and ink, sharpie, or fine ink marker. Also, erase your pencil marks.
3. With pencil, draw out where your lines thicken or change in size.
4. Erase all of your pencil marks and fill in your lines.
5. It's as simple as that! I suggest looking at the alphabet in different fonts, and repetitively writing the letters down.
Thursday's ( tomorrow's) blog post is about fitness and health!
See you tomorrow!

decorating your dorm
It's that time of the year again! It's time for college, I am sure you have already started, but have you decorated? I love to add personal style to anything and everything including my room and and my style. Here are my three favorite ways to decorate your room, and add your taste to it also.
1. Lights
Well, who doesn't lights going across the edge of your walls? I think the reason I love lights so much is because it reminds me of Christmas. For lights to hang on the wall/ceiling I think that the small bulbs work best. Also, they now come in so many colors, I'm sure that you will find your perfect match.
2. Paper Lanterns
These are just like the lights, but I think that they make it more colorful and brighter. Again, they come in so many colors and your options are wide. I personally have them, and love the colors that shine when the lights are on.
3. Gallery Walls
To add some more personalization, make a gallery wall on a budget. I like to take my favorite picture, cutouts from magazines, and prints. IKEA has the best priced frames, and I love them.
See you tomorrow!

last piece of white
In the title, most of you know what I am talking about. I am talking about the last piece of white, because this weekend is Labor Day Weekend. Many people go by the rule of you can start wearing white Memorial Day weekend and you stop Labor Day weekend. I am not one of those people, I always try to manage some white, even during Christmas time, in my outfits. This post, actually has almost no white, because I wanted to make a bold statement. This outfit actually describes my summer style in one, it is bold, has Lilly Pulitzer, and Kate Spade.
Lilly Pulitzer for Target Shirt // Ralph Lauren Shorts // Kate Spade Purse // Lilly Pulitzer Sandals
I chose one color and tried to mix it into every piece of clothing that I had on. I choose a kelly green, that was in the shirt, purse, and shoes. The teal shorts bring a pop of excitement, boldness, and color!
Happy Labor Day Weekend! See you Monday!
