Best Christmas Eve Service Dresses

Being raised in a Christian household, Christmas Eve service has always been a big deal to my family and myself. My parents raised me to always dress very proper and eloquent when going to church.  Even now when my mom can’t tell me “don’t wear this” or “you can’t wear that”, I still stick to wearing appropriate and formal clothing when going to church. Modest clothing doesn’t have to be boring! Now that I’m older and my entire family helps with ushering at the Christmas Eve service, I always want to wear something special for my church’s Christmas Eve Service. But I don’t always want to break the bank by doing so. I linked some adorable dresses below that will fit into anyone’s budget-whether that is under $200, $100 or $50-and dresses that I find very modest and stylish. I would wear any one of these dresses and most of them are on sale right now!

Past Travels: London, Winter 2017

Last January I was lucky enough to study abroad with two of my best friends for none other than a photography class. This was, without a doubt, the most amazing trip of my entire life. I went to London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam in just 3 weeks. I am probably going to separate each of those places into its own blog post, so today is all about London. I spent most of my time there and I feel like I truly made the most of it. The point of the trip was to learn about digital photography, so we had several photo assignments that we had to document, edit and turn in at the end of the trip; no wonder I have so many photos to share! My apologies if you find this post to be extremely long. I tried to keep only the best and most important pictures. Sad part is, this is really only the highlight reel. I saw and did a lot while I was over there, but not everything needs to be photographed. Hope you enjoy my photos!

What I Love Most About Christmas

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is quickly approaching, especially when I am drowning in school work. I still have to get through a group project, final presentation, final exam and a bunch more assignments before I can focus on all the wonderful things I’m about to talk about in this post. I’m sure a bunch of you are already in Winter Break, and personally, I could use something to look forward to in order to get me through finals. So here are my favorite things about the Christmas season:

Velvet & Sheer Formal Dress

Not sure how professional this post is, but the other day I had my club formal and I got to bring 5 of my closest friends as my dates. (Who needs one male date when you can have a girls night with your besties?!) The formal was small, but it was so incredibly fun. We started off the night at my friend Lexi’s apartment where she set up this adorable backdrop for pictures. I was literally geeking at the exposed brick and string lights. I also bought this new dress from Lulu’s specifically for this formal during Cyber Monday, so it was a steal! This isn’t really a traditional blogger post, but I never said I was good at blogging… or traditional in anyway. I just want to highlight how fierce and drop dead gorgeous my friends looked as my dates, so here ya go.

#LazyCollegeKidLook

(Oops I almost forgot about this post) I am a firm believer that the weeks in between Thanksgiving and Christmas are the worst for college students. I have a ton of tests, research papers and projects all due by the end of the semester so I am swamped.I’m hoping these next few weeks will fly by so I can focus on the holidays.  the bright side, I’ll most likely be living in my leggings, yoga pants and flannels for the next few weeks. This is my go-to “lazy college kid” look, for days when I just need to focus on school, but don’t want to look like a walking trashcan.

Life Update: What I’m Thankful For

I feel like I am running so behind on this blog. Both school and work have picked up so much for me in the last few weeks. I probably have at least 7 unfinished drafts in my WordPress just waiting for me to finish and post. So thats one of the reasons I am happy to be on break-I finally have some time to sit down and focus on something I love to do. Currently, I’m sitting in my old high school sweatpants on my couch with my new dog, Sadie, watching Elf. My parents are finishing up the dishes in the kitchen and my brothers are somewhere else in the house, napping for the third time today. My Oma and Tante Helga are here for Thanksgiving today and they are both hilarious and wonderful cooks. This morning, my brothers and I ran a 5K and let me tell you…I suck. Like both of my brothers beat me by at least 6 minutes. But hey, at least I did it. Then I got to take nap #1. After that we ate Thanksgiving “dinner” at like 2:30 p.m. and then nap #2. We’re a big napping family if you didn’t already pick up on that. Later tonight I’m going to go see some of my best friends and then hit up the mall for some Black Friday shopping. So as I’m sitting here watching this holiday classic, I figured I would knock out a post about what I’m thankful for.

Peach Cable Knit Sweater

Biggest perk of going to school on the Eastern Shore? Being a stones throw away from the beach. Ok…thats an exaggeration, but in the last few weeks I have driven to Ocean City twice even though its been crazy cold and windy. I would like to emphasize the word “windy” in this post because my hair literally had a mind of its own and is absolutely outrageous. Every single picture gives me the urge to brush my hair.

What’s in my Bag?

Today I want to share everything I carry around with me whenever I leave the house. Besides the obvious things I need with me (like my phone, keys and wallet), here are my essentials that I like to have on me to make me look like I have my life together.

Red Red Wine

Yesterday Allison and I took a spontaneous trip to a local vineyard 30 minutes from our house called Layton’s Chance. This is such a hidden treasure on the Eastern Shore. The weather was so perfect and autumn-y.   We did a wine tasting (which only ended up being around $10) and then got a tour of the grounds. I’ve always wanted to take a vineyard tour, because I never really understood everything that goes into making wine. If you live near Vienna, MD, I would highly recommend checking out this adorable vineyard. Their wine is delicious and everything is locally grown. They have a lot of fun events coming up, so I definitely plan on going back.

Look What You Made Me Wear: Halloween Costume

Maybe I got mine, but you’ll all get yours…

If you don’t already know, I am whole-heartedly obsessed with Taylor Swift.  I’ve been a diehard Swiftie since I was 14 and “Fearless” was released. I’ve gone to three of her concerts and absolutely lose my mind when she releases a new album. (Fun fact: She followed me on Tumblr 3 years ago!) So when she finally came off of hiatus and dropped “Look What You Made Me Do” I totally geeked. When I saw the music video, I thought it was totally genius and a visionary masterpiece. The scene where Taylor is robbing a streaming corporation particularly stuck out to me because of the lines “The world moves on another day another drama (drama)/ but not for me, not for me all I think about is karma/ And then the world moves on but one things for sure/ Maybe I got mine, but you’ll all get yours.” YASSS PETTY TAYLOR AHHHH! I thought the Louboutin over-the-knee boots and the sequin Gucci hoodie in that part of the video were totally extra and such a unique pairing. The actual outfit she wore is worth like $5,000, but I did think I could dress up like this without completely breaking the bank. So here is how I created my Taylor Swift look for Halloween on a budget.
