5 Back to School Tips

  I cannot believe it is back to school time, already. It is also very strange that I am not going back to school this year...As I assume that most people are starting back up on Zoom University (or have mostly online classes) this fall, I have put together some of my best tips that will ensure a successful semester. I mostly geared these toward college/graduate/professional students, but hope I can appeal to all ages and maybe even you guys in the working world! Dress  |   Similar Scrunchie  |   Bedding  (on sale!) 1. Check your email frequently. This is something easy you can do to make sure you do not miss any information about the courses you are taking, and updates from school, in general. Be ready for anything as 2020 has become the year of the unexpected, and getting in the habit of frequently checking your email will keep you in the loop.  2. Don't forget to Network. It may be easy to think that you do not need to go to office hours or make appointments with professors be

In Stock at the Nordstrom Sale!

Yay!! The Nordstrom Sale is open to the public today! I have gathered some things that I now have my eye on because they are in stock (as of last night, so fingers crossed!!) I am really hoping for at least the Gal Meets Glam Dress and the running shoes because I already need a new pair of running shoes, aha. I am sooo into the leopard button-up because it says fall wardrobe staple! You can also shop my picks here . Here is my first NSale Guide if you are interested, and if Nordstrom does any restocks!

Cute Face Masks part 2

Happy Monday Morning, Friends 😊 I hope you could have a nice weekend! I know I had a pretty good one- I got to safely see friends and have a nice socially distance picnic by the lake where we watched the sunset, and were charged by angry ducks...yes ducks! I have no idea what we did to make them angry, but one duck would start making a b-line for our blankets, then we would shoo it away, but it would call for reinforcement and then have its posse try to swarm our site. It was freaky and comical. Great to get a good laugh in with friends! Any way, I have Cute Masks Part 2 for you today! Enjoy, and let me know if there are any other places with excellent masks!! The accessory of 2020 is here to stay for quite some time, so I rounded up some more masks picks to add to your collection! I feel like you can never have too many masks, like you can never have too many pairs of undies, aha (and yes, I went there)! Beau and Ro Masks Beau and Ro have some very fun printed masks in two kinds of m

What I'm Loving no. 18

  Happy Friday! I realized that I have not had a post all week because I have been occupied with secondary applications for medical school (yay!). It is also mid-August now (😳), and I have yet to put up my July favorites! I was going to just lump July and August into one, but it seemed odd to have summer things bleed into early fall when people are not interested in a sundress, ahah. I first want to announce that I am a Margaux Ambassador ! I also have a discount code for you to use for 10% off your first shoe order: libby10 . I will do a dedicated blog post soon, but wanted to get the word and discount out there for you guys! 1. Starbucks Order // I have been obsessed with a double shot on ice with almond milk. I know I can make this with my Nespresso, but sometimes it just tastes better when someone else makes it for you, lol. I am excited for the pumpkin cream to come back this fall because that would be SO GOOD with the iced espresso. 2. Books // In July I finished Educated . Wow,

Little White Eyelet Dress

Dress  ( Green + Pink )  |   Shoes  (similar here + here )  | Similar bag ( this one too ) Happy Saturday!  I just wanted to share a quick outfit post today because J. Crew is just having these amazing ongoing sales, and this dress is apart of it! You can get another glimpse of the outfit on my Quarantine Staycation post from yesterday! I almost feel like this is the dress of the summer ! J. Crew has restocked it so many times because it is that good. It is has fun swingy silhouette, and I have seen in on many women, and they all look SO good in it! I like that it is light for these hot summer days, and has fun details like the ruffle on the collar, and v-neckline. It is also eyelet, so it just screams summer!  A note on sizing: it runs big.   I would normally get a small in a J. Crew dress, but this one I got an xs in....I am shocked too that it fits perfectly. I would say size down unless you want an extra-swingy feel to the dress, which is also super cute. It also comes in a f

A Quarantine Staycation

Dress  |   Shoes  |   Similar bag Last year I wrote this post about the perfect staycation ! Most things on the staycation itinerary can be quarantine friendly, but I wanted to write one specifically for quarantine and social distancing. You guys seemed to really like the first staycation post, so I figured it would be a good time to write another one! I have broken it up into: morning, afternoon, and evening with different things you could safely do every part of the day during your Staycation. Don't forget to bring and wear a mask !  MORNING: 1. Wake up and smell the coffee // Well, how about a mask wearing coffee run to that place you never quite get too because it is somewhat out of the way. Support a local coffee shop, grab a cup (and a doughnut!), and start your staycation on the right foot. 2. Have a slow morning // Make a special breakfast, read, needlepoint, just do something that you love. Definitely treat yourself to a long hot shower or bath to feel completely indulge

Lake Life

Here it is! My edition of #PreppyGirlSummer (remember Preppy Girl Fall !). I love this so much because I was able to shoot it in my favorite lake spot in Minnesota. AND, I found this amazing sweater from Minnetucket + Golden Girl Travel by Ellsworth and Ivey ! I grew by lakes, and I think this is why I love being by the water. I took these (safely) at my favorite lake town on Lake Minnetonka (like the sweater!). I love a good white jean for summer, and these are currently are a great deal at Nordstrom Rack! I love the raw hem and button fly. These with Jacks and my new favorite sweater felt like the perfect summer night by the lake outfit. Dog is not included, ahaha. She loves the water just as much as I do. A quick note for my Minnesota gals, or anyone,  interested in this sweater: the Minnetucket shop is closed right now because Molly, the shop owner, is out of town; it will be open again on August 9!!

Nordstrom Sale

I have never really shopped the Nordstrom sale, but when I heard that my all time favorite Gal Meets Glam dress was part of it, I decided to check it out. It is a very strange time to shop such a sale, but thought that very succinct, curated picks would be interesting to you! This year Nordstrom has a sale preview where you can actually save things to a wishlist so you can just shop from there when it is time. I have gone through almost everything in the preview, and made my curated list. I picked things that I have and love or know they are classic staples (for #wfh and post pandemic future) or know that they rarely go on sale. First is clothes, second is hair and beauty. The sale start date is August 4 for Nordstrom cardholders/highest Nordy Club status. I do not have a Nordstrom credit card, and am only at the most basic tier of their Insider rewards program, so I won't be able to shop until August 13. I hope the dress I want is still in stock!!  Keep in mind that the preview is
