Summer Staples


~Summer Essentials~
Summer is right around the corner, or you are already on summer break! So, what are the thinks I can't live without in the summertime? 
  • Statement necklace: The question is when isn't a statement necklace a must have piece for me? However, in the summer there are super fun and bold necklaces you can wear to spice up your outfit. The brighter the better! J Crew necklaces are a specific must have for me. They are both colorful and fun but also are great quality. To find a cheap J Crew necklace I suggest finding a J Crew outlet! 
  • Laptop: My laptop is another thing I cannot live without. Every girl has those summer nights when all they want to do is watch Netflix all day! Also, I have to keep up with all of my social media sites of course. But, another reason this is my must have is I will be taking both economics and a math course over the summer online. So, obviously I need my trusty laptop to complete my courses! 
  • McDonalds Diet Coke: Diet Coke is basically my life. Nothing hits the spot like an ice cold McDonalds Diet Coke on a hot summer day. 
  • Denim shirt: A denim shirt is a great layering piece when it gets chilly at night. Or if it is a colder summer day simply pair it with a pair of fun bright colored jeans or shorts. 
  • Powder: No one likes a shiny face during the summer time. My Maybelline powder will be my best friend this summer as I take on the hot Chicago heat. 
  • Kate Spade phone case: A fun phone case is one of my favorite accessories! Some of my favorites are all from Kate Spade of course. 
  • Alex and Ani bangle: These bangles are perfect for stacking in the summer time. Pair them with your fun "friendship" style bracelets for a fun eclectic look.  
  • High waisted shorts: My go-to shorts in the summer are almost all high waisted. American Eagle's festival short is my favorite denim pair! 
  • Kate Spade tote: I have two Kate Spade totes, one small and one larger, and they are my go-to bags in the summer. They are great for keeping all of your essentials in. Also, they are big enough to put a light jacket in incase you get cold white dinning or shopping! (I always get cold in air-conditioned places! Am I the only one?)
  • Sperrys: Sperry Topsiders are the perfect summer shoe. They are comfortable to walk in all day but are still super stylish and cute. 
  • Baby lips: Chapped lips is a huge no no. I rely on Baby Lips to keep my nice and soft. Also, they have fun tinted shades that will give your lips a dash of color. 
  • Jack Rogers: I'm hoping to get a pair of Jack Rogers for my birthday! The gold ones will go with everything I wear. Not to mention they are adorably cute and very preppy. 
  • Body spritz: I am not a big perfume person so I usually turn to a easy body mist to keep myself smelling yummy in the summer time! 
  • Bronzer: I am not the tannest person in the world. But, I use Estee Lauder bronzer to keep my skin looking tan and golden. 
~Happy Summer~

College Diaries: Laptop Accessories

College Diaries: Laptop Accessories 
So, I have basically every type of accessory from bracelets, belts, necklaces, and everything in between. Of course I had to deck out my laptop just as well as I deck out myself! 

I order this purple laptop cover off of amazon for about $15. It not only protects your laptop but it also makes it your favorite color (mine being purple of course). Also, it came with a super cute key board cover so now my keys are also purple. 


Off of Etsy I ordered two stickers. First is a 1D sticker to represent my favorite band and to be the major fan-girl that I am. Gotta represent. 
Also, I got a monogram sticker in purple. Surprisingly the purple of the sticker perfectly matches all the other purple accessories that I got. I love the way everything turned out and how it looks. My laptop is defiantly college ready and as I would like to say Miranda-fied 


I also picked up a Marc by Marc Jacobs laptop sleeve at Nordstrom Rack. It was only around $35 which is basically 50% off the original retail value. The color is neutral so I know I won't get sick of it. I have been wanting one of these laptop sleeves for so long so I am glad I finally got one! 


I move into college in less then 2 days! Time is flying by but I am excited to start a new journey.

College Diaries: My New Mac

August 1st, 2013:

Happy August everyone! So, classes and school is quickly approaching. The last days of summer are coming faster then we all think. Which means only one thing.... Back to School Shopping!

Personally, back to school shopping is literally my favorite time of the year. So, I will defiantly be showing all of the goodies I got for college and a tour of my dorm once everything is all figured out. But, for now I want to share my new computer! Before this computer I had my brother's old Mac book pro (2009). It was an older model but all I used it for was going on the internet and making Youtube videos. So it fit my purposes fine. However, I am happy to have a brand spanken new computer.




They give college students a really good discount! You get $200 off your computer plus this $100 iTunes gift card. Which honestly will probably last me the whole year.
