The utter surprise and joy I felt last Thursday morning when Taylor started dropping 12 Instagram photos in a row. A NEW ALBUM?! NOW? I didn’t have time to emotionally prepare. But now that it’s been a week, I have finally been able to process the album and do some research. This is not a review, as much as me just sharing my ‘Kim Thoughts’ before the album came out, right after the album came out, and now a week later. I’ve been listening to folklore nonstop and it is so magical. Check out my current ranking of the songs at the end of this post!

I would have been at Loverfest West last weekend, and Loverfest East this weekend. How upsetting is that?! If it weren’t for this global pandemic thing, I would be having the time of my life screaming my lungs out to ‘Cruel Summer’. But alas, that is not happening. Honestly, I’m a little doubtful it will happen next year too. But even though it’s not happening this year, I still wanted to share this post. I’ll probably end up redoing this blog when/if Loverfest actually happens next year, but I guess as a tribute to what would have been an amazing show, here are so outfit options to give you inspiration for when these shows actually happen.

I’m so late to posting this but here is my July photo dump from my HUJI Cam app. Yes, this is a backdated post and I’m not including captions this time but I hope at the very least you enjoy this quick glimpse into what in my daily life captures my eye.
Read More >>Masking For a Friend
If there is one thing I’m sure about in these “unprecedented times” it’s that masks are here to stay. I don’t really leave the house unless it is for shopping or some outdoor activity and I always bring a mask with me. Here in Maryland, masks are required in all businesses and outdoor public areas. I know for certain this is not the case in other states, but it’s my personal opinion it should be. And it just so happens the CDC thinks so too. So allow me to get a little candid on the mask wearing “issue” below:

Who among you reading this is not aware of the fact that I have been both over the moon and emotionally hit with a semi-truck in the last few days? Taylor Swift announced on Thursday she was dropping TS8 at midnight. It was a total surprise (even to me). Taylor is basically saving 2020 with this album and it has been on repeat for me since it came out. folklore is really the only thing I want to talk about with my friends and I honestly look and sound like a madwoman (ha) when I try to explain every little thing about this album. I narrowed down 13 things you may not know about this album in this post below. Hope you learn something and don’t forget to stream folklore.
Read More >>Feelin’ Peachy
Don’t we love a fun, summer sundress? From what I can tell for the last few years, patterns with fruits have been really in. I know lemons was a huge thing during the spring, and I guess with this post, I’m trying to make peaches a thing. Who doesn’t love a sweet Georgia peach? I actually picked out this dress because I love the color combo of orange, yellow and teal. If we weren’t in a pandemic right now I would probably wear this outfit to brunch or walking around Annapolis. But for now, you get pictures of me wearing it in my backyard. Links are below!
Read More >>Glossier Review
I finally gave Glossier products a try. For years I’ve wanted to try these products because I’ve always been a fan of the minimalist make-up look for myself. It could also stem from just laziness when it came to make-up, but who knows? I wasn’t sure how I would like the ‘dewey’ make-up look which is definitely the vibe for most of Glossier’s products. But I figured it was worth a shot. Some of these products definitely lived up to the hype, but others…not so much. Here is my review on 6 Glossier products I recently purchased.

I love a dress that gives off a vintage feel! This dress makes me want to attend a sock-hop or go to a drive-in. Which is exactly why I styled it with my Converse and cat eye sunglasses. I am such a sundress girlie these days and I am currently renting this one from Rent the Runway! If you’re looking for a modern 50’s look, I hope my pictures give you a little inspo.
Read More >>Taylor Swift Street Style: Reputation Era Candids
I think we’ve already been over how one of my favorite hobbies is recreating Taylor Swift outfits. I’ve been thinking of the best way for me to kind of ‘group’ the outfits that I do and I’ve decided to do it by era. And I have such fond memories of the reputation era (and yes, reputation is not capitalized). I had so much fun recreating these looks! I actually took these pictures back in April during the beginning of quarantine and just kept forgetting to post them. I’m posting this blog now because two years ago today I was at the reputation Stadium Tour in DC! Such an amazing show. I’m super emotional because I really, really miss it.
Just about everything I’m wearing in this post was thrifted or something I already owned. I will be linking similar options to these outfits below, but I totally recommend you try thrifting some of these pieces on online stores like Poshmark, ThredUp and Mercari like I did. Better for your wallet and environment!
Read More >>White Eyelet Dress
A few weeks ago I did a huge Target run…from the comfort of my own home through the Target app. It’s truly amazing how much junk you can accumulate in an online shopping cart in just a few minutes. That was the day Target dropped 3 new collaborations with fashion designers (much like the Lilly for Target collection a few years back). This dress I’m wearing above is part of the Lisa Marie Fernandez for Target collection and I absolutely love it. I’ve been on the hunt for an eyelet lace dress like this for a while and I especially love the tie around the waist. This dress is perfect for my work from home days, but also comfortable enough that I can wear it while running errands (because let’s be honest, those are the only two things I do these days). I also bought this gorgeous CushniexTarget dress that day, as well as a bunch of books, hair products, a sports bra, PJ shorts… the list goes on! If you’re interested in seeing more from that Target haul, comment below! But for now, here are more pictures of me in this dress:
