Vienna
Next stop on the Travel Weekend trip? Vienna, Austria! When I thought my five-day travel weekend could not get any more magical, my friends and I boarded the train departing from Prague to Vienna. The train allowed for three hours of complete serenity and solitude, an opportunity to reflect on the beauty of the written…

Struttin’ in Stratford
Stratford Upon Avon is a charming little town that is known for its Shakespeare heritage. As it is the place where he was born, wrote some of his plays, got married, and is buried, the town is high on the list for any literary lover. However, it is more than a Shakespeare sight. It…

Style in Santorini
If heaven on earth exists, it would be Oia in Santorini, Greece. There’s no place like it. When you’re in Santorini, it feels as if the world doesn’t exist. All that is left is the island of Oia—a paradise, an escape. Surrounding you are charming shops (including an underground bookstore I absolutely fell in love…

Here’s something I’ve discovered about my personal sense of style. It is pretty classic, but sometimes I’m willing to get a little gutsy with my look. If that means wearing an outfit that can either be taken as super trendy and unique or be borderline grandma, I’m more than okay with it. Sure I drink…

Collegiate Chic
According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, the definition of “Nostalgia” is “pleasure and sadness that is caused by remembering something from the past and wishing that you could experience it again.” When I think of the term, my personal definition is just one word, three syllables: “Pepperdine.” It has been a whole month as of…

Beauty in the Blossoms
Where I come from, it doesn’t snow in the months leading up to Spring. However I do not mind it in the slightest, not when the ground is filled with blossom petals rather than ice. Nothing is more beautiful than coming home from college to aisles of orchards. When you look up, all you see…
