Dallas Career Day 2014

This Friday I had the wonderful opportunity of attending Career Day in Dallas for the first time. For those of you who don't know, Career Day is a wonderful opportunity for students to attend a day of inspiring seminars and influential speakers in all parts of the Fashion Industry. The day closes with the fashion show. A collection of students' work from across the nation. Of course not all 560 entries this year were able to walk the runway, so the board chooses what gets to walk. I was blown away to see my dress and jacket that I had submitted step out onto the catwalk.  It was such a thrill and was very affirming to me that I belong in my area of study. I think we can all use some of that from time to time. Anyway, I just wanted to recap my experience for you all! Hope you've had a lovely weekend!

Meet me in St. Louie

Howdy y'all! Last week I was able to experience the stuff of legends. Spring Break as a Freshman in college. Now don't jump to conclusions, I'm not talking about parties on the beach with my sorority sisters, but all the same it was a wonderful and much needed break from classes. 

PART 1: Home. when you live over a thousand miles away, going home becomes a rare treat. I was lucky enough to be able to visit my family, help my sister pick out a prom dress, and have an ice skating adventure with a few of my girlfriends. Yes I went ice skating.

PART 2: I had the opportunity to fly to St. Louis to meet my sweet friend Avery. I had never been to St. Louis before and I cannot wait to go back! Avery gave me the short version of a tour of the city and of course we took lots of pictures. 

Anyways, I thought I'd write a little bit about a non-beach spring break and what that looks like in clothes. While I was home I lived in chunky sweaters and boots but things lightened up in Missouri. I wore a light sweater and some new skinnies from ELSE that are to die for. The key to packing for
different climates is layers.

PART 3: Spring Break Part 2 consisted of Avery and I driving 10 hours to Caddo Texas where our friend has a lake house. 10 hours would have been miserable without some solid playlists (can anyone say Moulin Rouge?!) and of course pulling off the freeway for a spontaneous photo shoot in a random field. 

Moral of the story, when you're going to 3 completely different climates over spring break DO NOT OVER PACK. I know that seems impossible, but by packing 2-3 full outfits for each destination I was covered (and my suitcase was at 50 lbs so I didn't have much of a choice). I hope y'all who are on spring break this week have an incredible time and take LOTS of pictures! :)

This post is just for fun, not something I'd normally post but in honor of my first Baylor homecoming I just had to. :)

This past weekend was homecoming here at Baylor. As a freshmen, it was so cool to be a part of for the first time! On our way to the football game, two of my beautiful friends and I realized that we were all wearing very similar ensembles. Pat Neff (the building with the gold dome) was looking especially good that afternoon and the three of us decided to have some fun taking pictures.

White dresses in November? Absolutely. Rules are made to be broken right? And don't forget the cowboy boots. This is Texas after all. ;)

Study hard, style harder.

The Vintagemobile

Waco, Texas is a pretty cool town. Smack dab in the middle, between Dallas and Austin, you can find some pretty unique things here. This past thursday, The Vintagebus parked outside of Common Grounds and set up shop. This is no ordinary green bus (green buses aren't generally ordinary but this is Baylor so...). This is a vintage shop IN A BUS stocked with SUCH cool stuff. 

I made off with a $28 burnt orangey-red cross body bag. IT'S GORGEOUS. I am in love. I honestly can't believe it was still there when i got to the bus in the late afternoon. What a gem! 

This was a very spontaneous post, I'm just so excited about this bag I had to write about it! So if The Vintagemobile rolls into your town, stop in and look around. You never know what you might find!
