Feeling like a real #GIRLBOSS

I would have never dreamed that I would be getting to try on Valentino shoes for a day of work. I feel so blessed as I am taking this new journey into adulthood and starting my career, full time now. It feels so different to be helping people shop for back to school but it's the first year I am not going back to classes myself. It is a little intimidating starting the real world but I lasted my entire internship in Philadelphia just fine and that's how I hope the rest of the year will go for me. It is a little strange being away from everyone I know but at least I am a people person and able to strike up a conversation with just about anyone.

Wild Child with a Wild Heart

The newest addition 

Life is a whirlwind and that's completely fine for me. I love making the most of a hectic schedule, if there aren't enough hours in a day to get something done it's time to prioritize and realize it is okay to leave dishes in the sink sometimes.

That's how I felt this past week being in a transitional period from driving home, changing positions at work, and preparing for an amazing weekend with a friend who came and visited. This was a really fun and exciting week for me though and I cannot wait to share all my exciting stories from the weekend along with my outfits! This look was to match my wild hair day and heart I was having that day, just feeling a little jungle cat like. This blouse is from Free People and the white crops are from LOFT.

Daily Adventures

This weeks daily adventure was traveling back to the rolling hills of Happy Valley. This is something I haven't gotten the chance to do much this summer so it is always nice to visit my family and friends. Especially when I get to take advantage of my mother's awesome backyard. This shoot was a fun pool time one to show you how I love mixing and matching bikini top and bottoms. The ones featured in this shoot come from Forever21 and Free People.

I'm So Fancy

Or at least I like to think so sometimes. Dressing up has always been sometime fun for me to do. It doesn't hurt when it's part of your job to make other people feel good about themselves too. I believe that your confidence goes a long way if you feel good in how you feel and what you are wearing. Today's look is a simple yet sophisticated and put together at the same time. These paisley print pants from Forever21 add the flare to the outfit I need. While the blouse from H&M really classes the outfit up, along with the gold jewelry I've paired with it. This diamond ring is my grandmothers and is always sentimental for me when I wear it.

With Love in Her Eyes and Flowers in Her Hair

Inspired by one of my favorite bands today Led Zeppelin. Going to California is such a beautiful song and symbolizes and lot to me, as it was one of my favorite songs growing up along with Wildflowers by Tom Petty. Wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today, that was always a line that kept me wondering. Until you've had one of the best days of your life then you realize, I feel on top of the world how could this day ever end. Those days can be followed by even better ones though believe it or not, and even your crummiest days give you something to learn from.

Carlita's words of wisdom:
Every single girl should buy herself flowers once in a while.

Daily Adventures

Living in a new place I am getting to explore so many new places and it has been so exciting. I was asked recently if I have been on any trips yet this summer or done anything fun on top of working as much as I do, and to be honest each week I have done something new and exciting or been able to explore a new place. Philadelphia is so rich with history and there are constantly new things I am discovering.

For example last weekend I was able to go out Friday night and explore the Old City Philaldelphia for the first time which was so neat. The cobblestone streets were a bit much in my Jeffery Campbells but I held up like a champ. Also the Spruce Street Harbor Park was even more cool at night with the light shows. If there are any other places in the city you suggest me visiting please let me know! It feels as though I am just getting started.

Top- LOFT

Shorts- Forever21

Shop it before it's over, or before that pair of boots you've had your eye on is gone in your size. It was a little difficult to get myself in the mood to shop for fall and winter clothes when it feels like summer just started, but once I started it was hard to stop.

These were my three amazing finds at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: 

1. Topshop Print Bodycon $39.90! 

This piece is awesome because I could wear it on a chilly night out in the end of August or transition this dress into the winter months with tights and boots. 

2. Apartment Sweet Apartment Apron  $15.90! 

Desperately needed an apron and this one seem to fit perfectly for my new experiences down here in Philly. 

3. Frye's Patty Bootie  $218.90! 

These are my new babies and I cannot wait to break them out this fall. There are so many options with these cute little heel booties, and they're not too high so still work appropriate.
