Hands down, one of my favorite things about being a blogger and a Youtuber, is the events. Events, like tradeshows, panels, fashion shows, and forums, is where I get the chance to be surrounded by people like me. Meeting other talented bloggers and influencers is what makes blogging worthwhile. I can’t describe the feeling I get when I finally put a face to a name, meet some of the people behind my favorite brands, discover new brands, and the best part meeting new blogger friends. This is exactly what the Her Campus Fashion Week is all about. I’m extremely grateful… View Post
Every morning, from Monday through Friday you will catch me rolling out of bed at 7:30 am (one of the perks of not needing to be in the office until 10:00), apply some makeup to cover up my sleepy eyes, get away with not washing my hair for another day with the help of dry shampoo, gather my breakfast, and I’m out of the house off to the train station to start my work day in the city. Since I’ve been living the commuter lifestyle for the past few months, I have a few tips, tricks, and must have products… View Post
If there was any award show that I could go to and strut down the red carpet it would be the Grammy’s. This award show is filled with tons of music, celebs, and of course fashion. To me, the Grammy’s is the chance to experiment with style and wear something unique and funky. So I love when I see my favorite celebs take some fashion risks on the red carpet. Keep on scrolling to read all about my favorite looks from last night’s big event. Solange Knowles Solange Knowles dazzled in a metallic gold dress by Gucci. The Knowles family… View Post
By now I am sure everyone’s home (or in my case my apartment on campus) is already decorated for the holidays. The Christmas tree is up with the ornaments strategically placed, the holiday lights outside are twinkling in the dark, the garland is sparkling from every corner of the wall, and so on. Although, your holiday decorating might be complete for this season, I’m sure there is still a place in your home that needs a little more décor. Or are you still searching for that perfect trinket to add to a gift? Well there’s still time to get in… View Post

Four more classes left, one philosophy paper to write, and a psychology test to take and then it’s finally time to hop on a train to New York City, again. Remember when I mentioned LivForStyle was heading on some crazy adventures? Well in today’s post I will be talking about one of those events. Catch me at College Fashion Week this Saturday, October 1st from 6-9 p.m. at Venue 404 in New York City. Are you interested in attending? Keep reading for more information on an event, you won’t want to miss. It’s crazy to think that this… View Post
One of the many things I learned from spending two summers interning in New York City with prestigious fashion companies is that trends like to repeat themselves. Every season it seems like fashion trends in a particular decade come back again. Almost like the expression history repeats itself, it seems like fashion does too. This season is all about the 70s with the flared jeans, the 80s with patches (click here to see how I completely transformed a denim jacket with a few patches) and you can’t forget chokers for that 90s grunge. I always yell at my mom for… View Post
Last week was crazy; I finished my junior year of college and turned 21, all on the same day. I think I had one to many margaritas on my birthday because I am still recovering from the festivities. Not to mention that ending a school year means packing up all my stuff at school and moving back home. My room these last couple of days perfectly describes my life as messy and in shambles. But just like I can get my room all nice and tidy, I am starting to get in the groove of being home, getting back to… View Post
When temperatures rise above 60 degrees, it is the perfect day to walk the streets of New York City and explore Central Park. If this warm weather pattern continues, it is safe to say that spring has sprung. Nothing was better than welcoming the warm weather than being in New York City. I had a wonderful time visiting all my favorite shops uptown and having a nice picnic lunch in the sun, sitting on one of the massive rocks in Central Park. Best part about this trip to the city was that I didn’t have to plan my outfit around… View Post
The end of February means a few things… spring break is near, it stays light longer, no more snow (hopefully), and most importantly the Academy Awards. I sometimes get the Sunday night blues, but not on the Sunday when the Academy Awards are on. This year, I was surprised at how many movies I knew. Honestly, I did not see one movie nominated but I knew the plot and the characters, so that’s all that counts right? Fashion aside, I am so happy Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Oscar; it was about time, but for some reason, I had a… View Post
“When words fail, music speaks” is such a relatable quote for those days when you are swamped with work and need some inspiring music, or looking for upbeat tunes to put you in a good mood, or when you are getting ready for a night out and looking for songs to pump you up. Music is an important part of my life. I love listening to music, filling the silence in the background, and discovering new songs and artists to jam out to. Since my taste in music is changes with my mood, music-streaming services are my best friend because… View Post
I was known as the little girl with the mushroom haircut. Perfectly pin straight hair that reached just about to my ears. For years, I rocked the mushroom cut but I no longer sport that style because thankfully I’ve been introduced to a blow dryer, a round brush, and volumizing hair products. But these days, I still like my short hair, but that was not always the case. Over the years I went from the mushroom cut, to long flowing hair, to taking a risk and cutting off 14 inches to a pixie cut, and now I’m somewhere in the… View Post
I am certain that everyone has experienced sadness, disappointment, lack of motivation, and so on. It’s only natural, we are human. I am a big fan of quotes. Whenever I feel stuck or down in the dumps I always head to Pinterest (CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ME ON PINTEREST) and find some inspiring words and phrases to help me keep going. This brings me to the theme of today’s post. It was inspired by one of my recently discovered quotes “No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up, and never give up.” After reading this phrase, I… View Post
