Favorite Spots: St. Paul, MN

I have been thinking about Minnesota lately, and felt like reminiscing on some of my favorite spots in St. Paul, MN. Most people hear a city in Minnesota, and think Minneapolis. Although I love the treasures of Minneapolis, I went to college in St. Paul (Roll Toms 😊💜), and lived there for 6 years, so it has a special place in my heart. First off, lets get familiar with this city. St. Paul is the state capitol of MN!! It is NOT Minneapolis as so many people think! It is the older of the Twin Cities, and I think has more charm. Its divided into neighborhoods like any other city, and some of the best spots, are little neighborhood gems. The Twin Cities are both equally "Foodie" places, and we love some craft breweries/distilleries, and good eats!! Grandview Theatre pictured above! Used to walk there during college just to get popcorn! Merriam Park University of St. Thomas - my alma matter! (I surprisingly do not have any good pics of UST..) Izzie's Ice Cre

Florida iPhone Pics

Happy weekend! I got back from Florida last night, and it was a bumpy landing back to NJ...but I am back safe, and sound, and still have some spring break left: one of my bestie's from MN is coming to visit, and she has never been to NYC!!! (if you have any suggestions for what she needs to see during her first trip, let me know below, and I'll add it to the list!) I have some fun snaps from my Florida trip that I took on my iPhone, and just feel like sharing them, so here we go! Started off on the right foot with a glass of wine at the airport! Dress  |   Sweater  |   Sneakers Getting ready for Disney, and packing my pack. I love this Longchamp backpack . It looks nice, and it packs a lot for a little bag! If you ever go to Epcot, go get this in the France Pavilion!! Its a giant macaron with ice cream sandwiched between. So delicious. This is the raspberry flavor, and they also have chocolate. The best part is: IT IS TOTALLY GLUTEN FREE!!

What I'm Loving

Isn't it insane that we are almost half way through March??? It is crazy that time is flying, but also exciting because warm weather feels like it is around the corner! This week, I am finishing up my midterm exams, and then it is spring break!! I am sooo excited to have some fun in the sun, and relax before I have to think about exams again. It will be a much deserved break. I know I should be studying, but I am procrastinating, and sharing my recent favorites, and wishlist! Wicker Bag  // I actually went onto the J. McLaughlin website to look for a different wicker bag, but when I saw this beauty, I forgot about the other one hahah! The shape, and the handle of the bag is so gorgeous, and it looks so spacious for a small-ish wicker bag. So perfect for spring and summer. It is definitely high on my current wishlist *hint hint mom*.  Elisabetta Dress  // This gorgeous dress from Gal Meets Glam  is sooo dreamy. It has a crisp and clean look, and IT HAS A BOW!!

My Gal Meets Glam Collection

Hello! You might have already figured this out, but I have a serious obsession with every single Gal Meets Glam dress and collection . I feel like I am starting to grow quite the collection of the insanely beautiful dresses. I recently did a poll on my Instagram, and you guys said that you wanted to see my collection. I have compiled pictures from older posts, and from my iPhone to show you! I have purchased all of these on sale, or received them as gifts (thanks mom). I think getting them on sale is my secret for buying Gal Meets Glam dresses. They are 100% worth the investment, and will always be in style because they are such classic pieces and silhouettes. A new collection comes out about every month, and every month I look at it, and think: I want it all!! The next drop is March 13th, and I am so excited!! I have added the name of each dress below the picture. Because these are from the "older" collections, I cannot find most of the links. But here are my tips if you

Beauty Empties

These are some beauty empties I've recently finished! I have had some inspiration for this, and thought I would share mine! You know when you find something you like, and you use every last bit of it? These have been that for me. I will mark the products I use in my normal routine with an "*", and everything else is something new I tried, and LOVED! Dry shampoo * ~ This is my absolute FAVORITE dry shampoo ever. It leaves your hair so so soft, and does not leave the gritty feeling on your scalp. Kind of spendy, but totally worth it! Concealer  ~My mom got this in an Ipsy, and gave it to me, and it really did like it a lot. Has great coverage, and is easily blended. Also, it does not feel heavy on the skin. I really like that it had a doe foot applicator, too! Hair thickening conditioner  ~Aveda is my all time favorite hair care that I have been using for over 10 years. This conditioner actually works. I usually use a little amount with my normal conditioner,
