Wearing tweed with toes in the sand rather than in pumps. That is the evolution of fabric iconized by Chanel since its genesis in 1924. Chanel commissioned dresses and suits to be fashioned in the fabric from a Scottish factory which gave the look a more traditional Scottish countryside aesthetic, according to Elle. Since then, […]

Everyone Has a Story — This is Mine

April 17, 2018.Reading time 8 minutes.

Whenever I describe to people why I chose journalism as my major, I say it’s because it’s an introverted-extrovert’s job. I have a love affair with telling stories.

Thrifting is one of my favorite ways to shop because it’s a treasure hunt. None of the clothes are ever the same because rather than being mass-produced, they’re handpicked by storeowners, or in other words “chosen.” Before they were displayed in the store, these clothing items were worn by another person—sometimes even from a different […]

When people think of Southern California, the first thing that may come to mind is the land of celebrities: Hollywood. If strolling down the walk of fame is not your taste, you may be the person that thinks of the posh and high-class society of Beverly Hills; it has tons of places to shop and […]

Life’s a Beach!

Going to the beach with friends over spring break is a must! It’s so fun to just take a day to soak up the sun, chase waves, and snap some cute beach pictures! My beautiful friend, Rachel and I had quite the photoshoot by the ocean yesterday! We took many candids and made some pinterest-esque […]
