New Arrivals Under $100

Happy Monday, friends!! 

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I am a HUGE Patriots fan!! I spent yesterday afternoon cheering on my guys to another AFC victory and I am SO excited to watch them in the Super Bowl in two weeks!! My poor boyfriend is so patient and puts up with my yelling and jumping around haha (he is an LA fan).

Today I'm rounding up some of my favorites from Nordstrom's New Arrivals and the best part? They're all under $100! 


In order from left to right, top to bottom


Disney | Travel Day

Hey all! I'm back ;) I'm starting a Disney series on the blog because...I'M GOING TO DISNEY!!! Yes, I am just as excited (if not more) as when I went as a kid. We grew up going every year, and then we hit high school and stopped going. I am beyond excited for our weekend in Orlando.

The main reason we are going is because my mom, my sister and I are running the Disney Princess Half Marathon! There are a few reasons why we are running it this year, one is to celebrate my mom's birthday and I also have a personal reason that I will do a whole blog post about later as we get closer to the race.

Today I am kicking off my Disney series with outfit inspiration for our travel day!


clearly I like black, grey & blush pink haha


1. Zella Elevate Me Wrap Sweatshirt | This top is SO cute! I love wearing cardigans when I fly. Planes are cold and I always like having the fan going during the flight. This is the perfect option.
2. Madewell 'Whisper' Cotton V-Neck Pocket Tee | With wearing a cardigan, I always opt for a comfy, v-neck tee as well. It will most likely be very warm by the time we land in Orlando, so I a light tee is the perfect option under a warm cardigan.
3. Nike Dry Versa Training Top | Another option is this Nike top. Oversized tops are my favorite for flying (can you tell I like to be comfy when I fly?!)

So, we actually might be wearing custom designed sweatshirts for the flights to Orlando, but you'll have to wait to see those ;)

4. Zella Live In Leggings | O.M.G. I cannot say enough good things about these leggings! I actually live in them haha I wear them so much! It's kind of a no-brainer that I will be wearing these leggings.
5. Kate Spade Cameron Street Medium Harmony | This is my every day tote and I'm obsessed. It holds everything. It has a zipper top so it's perfect for travel. (since we're traveling for a race, one of us will have a carry on suitcase where we will have all of our race gear)
6. Away Medium Suitcase | This suitcase is perfect for travel! I need to upgrade my luggage set and the Away suitcases are at the top of my list.
7. Steve Madden Softey Slide | Ok, these are so extra...but I need them haha I have a similar pair in navy blue but I need the black ones haha
8. Givenchy Logo Slide | A splurge option...again, so extra but I'm obsessed.
9. Tory Burch Lina Slide Sandal | Ummm how cute are these?! Tory Burch does it again! Slides are the perfect option for traveling, makes going through security so much easier.
10. BP Sleep Mask | How perfect is this for a Disney trip?! Our flight is super early so this eye mask would be perfect!
11. Quay It's My Way 55mm Sunglasses | Obsessed. These will be necessary to hide my tired eyes when I land and arrive at Disney. ;)

So there you have it! Keep checking back every Wednesday for more Disney updates!!

Hello 2018...

Ahhhh I just love the feeling of a fresh start. A new year. A chance to start again. I feel like New Years resolutions get a bad rap (and probably rightfully so) but I like the idea of them. Giving yourself a chance to start new and fresh and accomplish those goals that you've been dreaming about.

Goodbye 2017...

2017 really has been quite an incredible year. I've had the amazing opportunity to travel all over the country, spend time with my friends and family, explore new places, and fall even more in love with the man of my dreams.
I'm going to keep this post short & sweet and just simply say that 2017 was amazing. On top of everything, I started this blog. In the coming weeks I will be elaborating more on my vision for my platform. But for now, enjoy the last day of 2017. And tonight, drink champagne and dance on the tables.

Gift Guide | Girl on the Go

So I don't know about you, but I LOVE the holidays. I'm a total freak about Christmas (yes, I have already started listening to Christmas music haha) and I love the decorating and just the whole atmosphere of the holidays. I'm really excited to kick off my gift guide series with my gift guide for the jet set girl!


It's no secret that I love traveling. I over half the year flying back and forth from the East Coast to the West Coast so I've come up with a few things that I think would be perfect for the girl that's always traveling.

 The Jet Set Girl (1)
Sole Society Candace Oversize Travel Tote | This tote is perfect as a carry-on or just for a long weekend trip! I believe that every girl should have the perfect tote to be ready for those last minute girls weekends.
Free People Kolby Brushed Scarf | Whenever I'm flying, I always like to have the air vent going on me at all times. I love having a big scarf with me whenever I travel that can also double as a blanket. This scarf is also under $50!
Kate Spade New York Cameron Street Leather Passport Holder | Ok what girl doesn't love a cute passport holder?! I am a sucker for anything Kate Spade and this one is cute and classy. It also comes in red!
WOLF Caroline Travel Jewelry Case | I love jewelry, but traveling with jewelry can be a pain if it's not stored properly. This jewelry case is cute and perfect for keeping jewelry organized and un-tangled during travel.
Gray Malin Getaway Luggage Tag | Having a fun luggage tag always makes it easier to spot your suitcase at baggage claim. I love Gray Malin's work, and this luggage tag is absolutely perfect!
Bose SoundLink II Around-Ear Bluetooth Headphones | Headphones are a necessity while traveling. These headphones are perfect for long flights, and the perfect gift for any jet setter.
CALPAK Ambeur 2-Piece Spinner Luggage Set | This luggage set is SO cute!! I'm thinking this will need to go on my need list. Who doesn't love a cute luggage set?!
Tory Burch Parker Leather Tote | I'm a little tote obsessed. I always gravitate towards totes, and I'm starting to build a collection. I am absolutely obsessed with this tote from Tory Burch. It's perfect for going from work to the airport. I always love bringing a tote as a cary on to keep my laptop, books, magazines, and everything else I need during the flight.
UGG Australia Travel Set | This looks like in-flight heaven. Who doesn't want to feel cozy and comfortable while flying? This is the perfect set to help make anyone relaxed mid-flight.
Slipsilk Pure Silk Sleep Mask | Sleep masks are the best, and a silk sleep mask?! Sign me up! Any girl on the go will be so thankful for this. This will help make those long flights a little more bearable. And it's under $50!
Drybar Baby Buttercup Travel Blow Dryer | I am usually never a fan of hotel hair dryers, and my hair dryer usually doesn't make the cut in the packing list because it's so bulky. This hairdryer is the perfect option for the girl on the go.
Ugg Australia Chenille Crew Socks | Cozy socks are one of my favorite travel accessories. I usually keep them in my bag and then put them on once we're up in the air. Maybe it's just me, but my feet get so cold when I fly, these socks are perfect!!

Well, there's the first gift guide of 2017! Let me know in the comments what kind of gift guides you would like to see!
