There's so much beauty in this editorial. You can practically smell the scent of the rain and feel the mist making your hair stick to back of your neck. I love when photographs transport the viewer to another world.

Dressing For College With Bardot

Yes, you read that correctly. I"M GOING TO COLLEGE. And soon, too! I've been accepted to BYU (aka, my dream school) for the summer 2013 semester. I honestly can't wait. I've already picked my housing and classes, and I'm so ready to dive into the college environment. It really breaks my heart to have to leave my family and friends earlier than expected, but I'm looking forward to the new experiences and friends that college will bring. Also, my blog will continue to be updated, so fear not!

But now that I've got all things school-related sorted out, what do I do about clothes? I'll be making the *very* dramatic culture shift from New York to Utah, and I really don't want to loose my darker, more edgy NY style in favor of Utah's sunnier, sweeter fashion sense. Bardot to the rescue! They have some of the sickest accessories, and I'm in love with their uber-trendy dresses. Here are my favorite pieces from their website that I'm dying to take with me to college:

Bondi Maxi

Peplum High Waist Belt

This is an awesome piece. Peplums have been hot for a few seasons now, and this is a great way to add a peplum to any look in a matter of seconds.

Textured Panel Skirt

Viper Hoodie

Utah weather is skitso. It can be 87 degrees one day and snowing the next, so I have a feeling that hoodies are going to come in really handy.

Kate Skater Skirt

Plain. Pure. Perfect.

Abstract Clutch

I'm normally not a fan of clutches because they don't leave you hands-free, however, with a strap option this bag would be gorgeous. Practicality first!

Peplum Trench

Again, this will be great for unpredictable Utah weather.

Assassin Cardi

Be. Still. My. Soul.

Brief Update + Road Trip Pics

Sorry I have been so absent, we've been on the road for the longest time. I'm in Indianna right now! It is, in a word, humid. I thought New York was bad, but it doesn't at all compare to how humid it is here. It's crazy. I'll never complain about NY humidity ever again.

Over the last week, I and my friends have driven through Colorado, Utah, Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois. I spent the last week in gorgeous, hot Utah. Mainly in Provo. It was a fantastic experience. I got to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir preform live, and I got to see Temple Square and the Church History Museum. Really, really, cool stuff. Also, I turned 16! Ahhh!

My favorite state by far was Kansas. My friends thought I was crazy, but I loved it because of the plains and farms and open spaces. I don't think I have ever seen the horizon quite like that before. I found it really stunning.

Goodbye house!

The clouds on the plane just blew me away!

On my second day in Indianna we went to Dillard's and I was happy to find some gorgeous Ilana Wolf pieces. (Remember Ilana Wolf? I posted about meeting her here)

We ran over to Build-a-Bear to make my friend a birthday present. Who knew teddy bears were so expensive...

(My wallet is from PaperWallet, It's the greatest wallet I have ever owned. It takes up next to no room and it has enough space for my ID, Bills, and essentials. I love it so!)

Ozzy glasses, anyone? I wore these all week long!

Oh hey Arch.

And here, my friends, is my beloved Kansas. I miss it already.

Colorado

Hopefully I'll have more pics to come!

Let's Travel The World

After tomorrow, I'll be done with school for the summer! I'm so excited to start traveling, and this editorial is perfect inspiration. The bold colors are stunning and I think her camera T shirt in the last picture is just the cutest!

I'm hoping this will be a really great summer. I'm turning 16 in a little over a week, I'll be going on a road trip with my family, and I'll be going camping for a week. What are your plans? Here's to a great summer!

Shall we go to Venice?

This makes me wish I was at the airport with a ticket in my hand about to hop onto a plane that would take me to Venice. Also, it makes me wish I had a few (dozen) designer ball gowns packed away in my luggage. So, Venice, anyone? I hear the pizza there is divine.

(Can you tell that I'm tired of school and ready for summer traveling?)
