From Fashion Week to SavvyChic
My footsteps echoed against the cobblestone streets of London’s Covent Garden in my nude Mary Jane flats at 7:20 a.m. on a Sunday morning. It was February, the sky was covered by a cloud blanket and the streets were empty and quiet, save for my footsteps and the rapid beat of my heart. Today was…

White House Wear
Feeling the rustling of leaves under my oxfords, marveling at the historical delights of one of the most established part of the United States, having the opportunity to Video Chat Snowden, meet Bob Woodward, and walk through the White House… these are the surreal moments I experienced while in Washington D.C. during the Associated College…

Clothes and Clotted Cream: An Afternoon at the Cafe
Imagine walking into a café that looks like the ballroom of a monarch’s palace. One that’s shimmer not only comes from the chandeliers on the ceiling, but the ceiling themselves, walls, columns too?

The Honorary Oregonian
Wanderlust isn’t just international: it can be cured in America too. This last week, I hopped on a plane to visit my college roommate, Rebekah in Oregon. As the airplane began to move, I immediately put on my rose gold headphones and played a song that would coincide with takeoff. Call me dorky, but I…

Opposites
Everyone has their opposite—there’s a night to day, a yin to yang, and a Chereen to Kristin. Like any opposing forces, my cousin Chereen and I came into the world around the same time—well okay she is ten months older than me (but close enough!). Anyway, from the moment we could talk, the two of…

Shine Bright
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but not everyone can always have diamonds. Since sequins and rhinestones are the next best thing, why not go all out with both elements in your outfit? I am not a big sequins person in general—in fact I can normally be seen wearing blacks and pastels, but…

The Easter Egg
HAPPY EASTER! Well not quite yet, but it’s coming up in exactly a week, so excited! My outfit is inspired by the Easter Eggs in the basket I’m holding!
