I’ve loved living back in New York for the past couple months. It’s so great to be with my family and my dog, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss Boston a whole lot, especially my sisters. Even when I graduated a little early, I was still super involved with my sorority, even having Initiation at my apartment and crashing their Bid Day celebration (love you!). 

But since I’ve been far away from my best friends, I’ve realized how much they really have my back from miles and miles away. Even though I’m not physically there with them, I still feel their love and support all the time. They truly are my family. 

When my best friend Kennedy and I went to Disney last March, my amazing, perfect Little, Victoria, made us matching letters. Yup, she MADE them! She’s so insanely talented, it blows my mind. These are hands down my favorite letters that I own. Whenever I wear them, I think of how grateful I am for my sisters who love me enough to take me to Disney and make me letters to celebrate. 

Kennedy and I wore them on our first full day at Disney, when we met a bunch of other sisters in Epcot! We drank strawberry mango margaritas in Mexico and I flipped out when we saw Figment, who is my favorite dragon in the entire world (sorry, Dragon Tales). I got blue light sickness from Mission Space, which Kennedy made a lot of fun of me for (“My eight-year-old niece went on this and wanted to go again!”), so we ended the night by watching The Bachelor in our hotel room while I stuffed my face with sushi.

It feels pretty cheesy ending this by saying to appreciate and love the people in your life, but it’s Thanksgiving week, so I can be as cheesy as I want! I love my sorority sisters more than anything, and if you’re reading this, I hope you have that kind of love in your life too.

If you’re following me on Instagram, you know that I spent my Spring Break in Disney World with my best friend Kennedy! I had so much fun with her, and I wish I could go back every day. So, I figured I’d share some of the looks I wore to the parks with you guys! Here’s one that I wore on our second day, which we spent at Animal Kingdom, Kennedy’s favorite park.

We kicked off our day with the Pandora ride, which absolutely blew my mind. If anything, it’s actually underrated. I highly recommend it. Then we ate french fries while we tried to avoid a swarm of weird looking birds (they weren’t snipes, even though I did flip out when I saw Kevin). We hung out at Dino Land for a while, rode Expedition Everest while the sun was setting, and finished off the evening with a nighttime safari ride. It was so cool!

Since we were at Animal Kingdom, I figured it was the perfect time to break out my “Squad Goals” crop top, featuring, Simba, Timon, and Pumba. I wore my high-waisted shorts, which looked awesome with the cut of the tee, and my neutral flannel since it was a little chilly while we were there. Rude.

When we were in the sun, I wore my adorable Sunice Sunglasses. But when we went on rides with screens, I threw on my blue light glasses. I’ll write a more in-depth review on them another time, but I get super sick when I deal with a lot of screens, and stupidly didn’t wear them on Mission Space, a ride in which there’s a screen pressed against your face as you’re shaken like you’re in space, the day before. It probably would’ve been really fun if I had my glasses. So I wore them the next day, and I felt a lot better.

What’s your favorite ride in Animal Kingdom? Let me know in the comments!

making waves

Hello, my loves! I’m so sorry I haven’t been posting lately. I just moved into a new apartment and I’m starting my final semester, so my head has been a bit all over the place. I love that the school year is starting back up again so I can morph back into a busy little bee, but I need it to slow down just a bit. I can’t believe this is my final semester.

In celebration, I’ve been wearing my letters as often as possible. I know I can wear them for life, but I feel like they’re especially now as I’m ending my time as an active sister. I also just moved into an area where there’s a fair amount of fraternity and sorority life, and I feel the need to show my letters off more.

This is one of my favorite pieces of sorority merch. This tank is super summery and carefree. It’s really lightweight, so it’s perfect to wear in the heat, or when you’re lugging things up to your new apartment, or both. I wear my black bralette and pull a little French tuck with my denim shorts. I love the way they look with the waves.

I finished this look off with my white Converse and some neat-ish hair for once. I love how I feel in this look, it always puts a little pep in my step.

can you tell that i love this flannel

flannel (no clue, i'm sorry!). shorts. bodysuit. sneakers. perfume.

Happy Thursday! It’s almost the end of the week! Orientation has been awesome, but I’ve been insanely tired. I can’t wait for the weekend so I can sleep in a bit! Then in about a week, everyone starts to get back to Boston and back into the swing of the school year. I still can’t believe this is my last semester. We’re not gonna talk about it.

Here’s another, you guessed it, simple look! I vowed to wear this bodysuit more often, and I have been, so I’m happy I’m out here reaching my dreams and achieving my goals. I paired it with my denim shorts and blue flannel, which I love wearing together. I was just thinking today about how I often wear either big, bulky clothes that I get lost in, or relatively form-fitting, tight clothes. Most of the time, I’ll throw tight and loose items together to create looks like this. It’s just how I’m most comfortable, which makes me most happy!

Last but not least, I wore my white Converse and put my hair in a little low messy bun, which I’ve been wearing a lot more lately. It curls my hair really nicely when I take it out and I’m so about it.

Do you wear loose and big clothes, tight and small clothes, both, or something in between? Let me know in the comments!

a simpler time

Hello hello hello! I hope everyone’s doing well. I’m back home on Long Island for a bit, and I’m having a blast! I didn’t realize how much I’d miss Long Island summers since this is the first one I spent in Boston, so it’s nice to come home and do typical Long Islander things and spend time with my family. I feel like I can move on from summer now.

Here’s yet another shirt I don’t wear enough! This color is so beautiful and unique. It looks like a sweatshirt, but the fabric is actually super thin, which is great in the hot weather that the east coast is suffering through. I wore my denim shorts and my black Converse to match my bralette.

I always hate when I don’t have a ton to say about a look, but this one is super simple! I always say that I need to wear more of what’s in my closet, so I’m happy I got to take this top out for a spin. I need to wear it more while the weather is still nice!

Where have you spent this summer? Let me know in the comments!
