Read More2019 has been a year. It has flown by and taken so much out of me…and it’s not even over yet. That being said, I’ve also learned a lot this year. I’ve learned a lot about myself, about other people, and about my surroundings and my future. I almost feel like a new person because of everything 2019 has taught me. I thought I’d share my list here, and maybe some of you have learned the same things or needed to hear some of what I’ve learned. Either way, here it goes!
Read MoreWhen somebody dies, you get every person in your life telling you that. They say that over time, you’ll feel better. They also say things like “your dad loved you,” as if I didn’t already know that. I know that sometimes it is people’s initial reactions and they don’t know what else to say…but trust me.

It’s a lot more space, and a much more grown-up feel than the last place I lived. However, it is also incredibly modern and gray. I had to find many different ways to liven it up, and I wanted to share it on here in case anybody needed a little inspiration.
Read MoreIn 2014 I decided to start a blog. It had been a year since I started studying fashion and I was convinced it was the next step in my career. At the time, my dad had also been fighting his battle with cancer and I thought that it was a good way to express myself. I was hoping that it could distract me from reality while simultaneously serving its purpose as a diary for my creativity.
