Palm Beach Recap (and Tips for Dealing with Crappy Weather on Vacation!)

Palm Beach Recap (and Tips for Dealing with Crappy Weather on Vacation!)

I spent last week in Palm Beach for what was SUPPOSED to be a nice relaxing little trip away from the cold, but quickly went south when I realized I was only going to have one day of sun! Keep reading to see how I stayed sane and kept busy while it rained all week… Day 1: I am so glad I booked an early flight on my first day, because I found out right before I left that it would be the ONLY day of sun, and I definitely wanted to take advantage. I also felt like for such a short trip, it would have been a waste to get there later in the day regardless of the weather. I landed in Palm Beach at 9:30am, ELATED to be standing outside in a tshirt and biker shorts! I got to my AirBnb quickly, and was able to go straight…

How To: Style Black Combat Boots

I bought a new pair of black combat boots this year, and I am OBSESSED! They are black faux leather with a crocodile skin pattern, a bunch of buckle details and gold hardware, which I LOVE. I have been styling them with all kinds of outfits, but here are two of my favorite ways to wear them: Outfit 1: I have never been the type to wear an all black outfit – I don’t even wear black year round – but there’s something I LOVE about super light wash jeans paired with a black top and accessories. It really makes the denim pop! The blazer adds some class and pulls the look together, making it a perfect fit for fall. This outfit would work with any black top and any black boots or heels, but there’s something about the combat boots that I think looks really cool! Especially contrasted with…

Keep scrolling to see some of my favorite pics from my trip… Thanks for following on my adventure!

Honest Review of #29Rooms

Honest Review of #29Rooms

In case you have been living under a rock and didn’t see it all over social media, Refinery29 recently brought their #29Rooms exhibit to DC, and reviews were, um, *mixed*. I personally have a lot to say about it, so if you didn’t go or were just wondering what other people thought about it, then keep reading! The Good: Ok, how about we start with what they did well? First off, their social media presence leading up the event was very strong, and definitely built up a lot of hype! I personally had heard about 29 Rooms last year when it was in Brooklyn, but unfortunately did not get a chance to go, so I jumped at the opportunity to go when it came to DC! They definitely promoted it well enough to get people through the door, even on the first day (when I went). They also planned it…
