Breezy Summer Day

by Olivia

Sometimes you cross paths with people who are incredibly like you, it fascinates me that in todays world we are capable of meeting people from another part of our country or world. Thank you to Charlotte Luisa for collaborating on this post with me. Charlotte’s idea was to purchase the same piece of clothing so we could differently style our outfits.  In our posts you will see the same top is featured and is styled completely differently so you can see the versatile ways you can wear a white off the shoulder top.

Charlotte Luisa’s Post Here

Our white top is fitted with a scrunched texture and hangs tightly off the shoulder. The shirt is very stretchy but does show a little skin but not fully a crop top. I styled the top with ripped semi dark, semi light blue jeans. I choose jeans that were slightly ripped just so you could still wear this outfit to a family event. I wanted to be tasteful, classy and fun with the way I styled this ensemble. Next for shoes I chose these Steve Madden sandals, they have a slight chunky heel, thick straps that criss cross over the foot and gold buckle detailing on the outer sides of the shoe. For accessories I kept it simple with my Kate Spade hand bag with gold detailing along with my gold aviator Ray-Bands. To keep with the gold detailing throughout this outfit I choose a gold stone necklace and a fish gold ring. This outfit is definitely one of my favorites because of the neutral tones and simple styling. Details will be below, click on the piece to directly be taken to it online! XX

Will I call Baltimore home?

by Olivia

In one year my life will change in some major ways. The town I’ve called home for 17 years I will be leaving behind. Family and friends I’ve formed close relationships with I will parting from in order to start my own journey. Although the farewell to my hometown, friends and family will be nothing but bittersweet, I am filled with excitement for my future.

My college search started in October at Quinnipiac University. Ever since my first encounter I thought that had to be “the school.” My college search continued today at Towson University and Loyola University Maryland. I got a taste of both the larger and smaller sized schools. As we drove up to Loyola University Maryland’s campus it immediately felt like home, a place I felt like I instantly fit. I was intrigued by the stone, brick buildings where class would take place and by the equisite Catholic Church with stainless glass that captured my eyes with its character. So now I wonder will Quinnipiac, Loyola, or possibly a place I’ve yet to explore be my future home?

Thursday night we arrived in the city of Baltimore (about 2o minutes from Towson & Loyola). My Mom and one of my best friends stayed with me at Brookshire Suites by the Inner Harbor. I was fascinated by the modern/contemporary rooms with a delightful Bath & Body Works scent that crawled in and out of each hallway and room. We decided we definitely had to take a boat ride on the Inner Harbor, we all were greeted with such hospitality from the Seadog (speedboat) employees. They constantly called and updated us on the weather conditions to inform us whether or not the boat would leave the harbor. From there we enjoyed a dinner at an Irish Pub within the harbor. I enjoyed a savory meal of a Crab Cake Sandwich and Muscles because how could I not get seafood in Baltimore, Maryland?!

Storm clouds rolled in this Baltimore night.

Healthy Taco?

by Olivia

Lately I have been all about the healthy eating. Now and then you’ll catch me indulging in my favorite dairy free treats like Len & Larry’s protein cookies (found here) or So Delicious Chocolate Cookies n’ Cream Ice Cream made with cashew milk (found here) but I try keeping it rather clean with my eating habits. When I scrolled through Pinterest for healthy meals, snacks and etc. I came across these yummy appetizers. As soon as I saw the image I thought immediately of P.F. Changs Chicken Lettuce Wraps. I’m sure most of us have tasted how sweet and savory those appetizers are, definitely a favorite of my families.

One thing I love about these is that you can easily personalize them to your liking. You can add tomatoes, peppers, chicken and more toppings to enhance the taste of these healthy, filling appetizers. My suggestion would be to add seasonings. The ingredients consist of mainly vegetables and beans but I do believe seasonings would give a kick of flavor especially if you’re not into the plantish tasting foods, you know what I mean? It’s almost like a healthy taco…almost


What’s all the talk about Playa Bowls?

by Olivia

If you live along the Jersey Shore you know all about Playa Bowls. If you don’t live here then you’re probably wondering just what are “Playa Bowls?” Playa bowls are a tasty, healthy treat. They are bowls that have a base of acai (a berry frozen sorbet) blended with a variety of fruits. It’s then topped with granola, fruit and sometimes almond or peanut butter depending on what you choose to get. It gives you a boost of energy on those hot summer days, nothing is as refreshing as a mouth full of fruit. The granola is so heavenly as you crunch you’re way to an empty bowl. What’s so great about Playa is the variety. If acai isn’t your favorite you can pick a Pitaya (Dragon Fruit) base or a green base (mixed with kale for color). You can always customize your order to make it exactly the way you want it! Don’t worry vegans, they have you covered! The bases to all the bowls are 100% dairy free and vegan. (Vegans may have to alter orders to get it to be fully vegan) It’s the most mouthwatering, fresh and healthy treat on the shore. In every bite I can’t wait to dig my spoon into more, go bowls deep!

My LOVE for lace!

by Olivia

My obsession with lace and beige evolves more and more each day and based on my previous outfit post I’m sure you can see that is evident. This is one of my all time favorite dresses. The dress has a simple beige color with a pure white overlay. It has a high neck and a bottom that displays a scalloped cut. I love this dress even more based on its affordable price tag. Believe it or not this dress is from Forever 21 and retails for $22.00. Unfortunately the dress is sold out but I found a similar one from Forever 21 on sale for $48.99.
