VOYAGE TO UTOPIA FASHION SHOW

(vintage dress, Express blazer, Hue tights, Aldo heels, Michael Kors watch, other random jewelry) 

This past Saturday was the Voyage to Utopia fashion show at my alma mater, Marymount University. It was a crazy feeling being back on campus there after graduating in December, but it was such an awesome show that I am glad I didn't miss out on. I was super impressed with some of the collections from local DC designers. The students did an incredible job in all aspects of the show, from the stage to the music selection. These are some photos of my favorite looks that came down the runway, and of course what I wore to the show. I found this dress awhile ago while vintage shopping and gave it a little fishtail hem. Totally obsessed now. You can check out my article on Examiner here to learn more about the Voyage to Utopia show. Also, see tons more photos from all the collections in my Facebook album here. Oh, and while you are there make sure to 'like' my new page!

SUNDAY

(thrifted lace top, Ann Taylor LOFT grey cropped pants, belt from American Eagle, Aldo wedges, Michael Kors rose gold watch, gifted ring, other random and vintage jewelry)

The weather in DC has been a bit crazy. One day it's rainy and cold and then another it's 80 degrees. Can't wait for the real fall weather to be here, since the official first day was this past week. I'm guessing this is appropriate then.. Happy fall! I have decided that fall is probably my favorite season. Not only because of the cozy knits and boots, but football season has begun! Yes, I love fashion AND football. Just waiting for the day when I don't have to be working, and I can be home on the couch with my eyes glued on Tom Brady (I mean the Pats.. haha).

Enjoy your Sunday!

TASTE OF HOME

Last week, I spent an afternoon at Watters Creek in Allen. Finally getting around to sharing the photos. It was such a cute little area of shops, restaurants, and apartments. I see a lot of these types of places around here in Texas. Jealous of the people living there. I was so happy to taste a little bit of home with the very green grass and scenery. Check out the quote from Mother Teresa they had against the brick through one of the walkways. There were several other quotes, but I chose my favorite to show you. I found some trendy boutiques and a coffee shop, of course! 

Less than two weeks until I am headed back to the East Coast -- I am trying to hold in my excitement. Until then, planning to enjoy Texas with the time off from my internship that I have.

EASY BREEZY

It's like a billion degrees in Dallas.. already. Maybe working all the time is not such a bad thing since I am inside during the day. Oh, summertime.
