The Turtleneck

Monday Morning: Wake up, look out of dorm window into cold January weather, groan, scrounge through unorganized winter boxes full of sweaters and long-sleeved godsends. Spotted: the comfortable and wa

For the New Illiterate User: India

I have already had a great deal with smartphones, but we know that we are a select fortunate few who have been able to keep up with technology. For those that have not, this is something that I would

SenseSleep

Your blaring alarm clock goes off, you hit snooze; you aren’t done sleeping because you still feel exhausted. That is because your darn clock interrupted you at a very inopportune time (literally). Bu

What I’ve got:

My Daniel Wellington watch I got as a gift this past year and I wear it all the time. It is timeless, as it is extraordinarily simple yet extremely classy. The leather armband and roman numerals neve

It’s what is on the inside that counts…

So I made a pillow case but realized only when I finished, that I sewed it wrong….literally sewed it with the front facing in. Inside out. Classic mistake. Oh well. I learned that although it isn’t th

Nike Juvenate Women’s Sneaker

I wanted a light sock-like sneaker that was stretchy, easy on-easy off, and not for running but for everyday wear (like when I am lazy but still want to look sporty). I looked around, decided to get a

Brookstone Big Blue

I got this as a gift 2 years or so ago and it is my absolute favorite. The sound quality on this thing is unreal. It has a unique look to it, and isn’t too large so it takes up little space. It has bl

Camelbak Water Bottle

I use this thing daily. It makes drinking water and hydrating myself so easy. It is simple to clean, easy to fit in in my backpack, and does not leak. I’ve dropped it repeatedly and it has survived. I

Simple and light as a feather

I got this gold-plated necklace as a birthday gift from a best friend, and I never take it off. I have always loved simple yet elegant jewelry, that is really good quality, because I wear them daily.

What I’ve Got

I recently ordered these shoes and love them. They are called Report Avery’s, and are a more edgy/elegant version of the classic slip-on Vans that (almost) everyone in our class I’m sure has owned in

What I’ve Got: Dinosaur Tea-Infuser

I absolutely love teas and coffees and any hot drinks, so my family always knows what to get me for my birthday. I would consider myself a tea aficionado in training. I have multiple teacups, mugs, lo

iPhone Case: Speck

I have always used these phone cases for my phones. There were some issues with the charging port for a while, but with new changes in their design, they have fixed these problems. My case always make

IllumiGear

Running and cycling gear are not as safe as people think, because they require direct contact with headlights or streetlights to be effective. What does that mean then? It means that if a car is comin

What I’ve Got: Origins Foundation

I’ve been using this for years. I like that it is pretty natural, has SPF, and is very light on my skin. I’m not one for a lot of makeup, and I only use a little bit of this. This product is one of th

What I’ve Got: Starbucks App- Pre-ordering

Sometimes dining hall coffee just doesn’t do it for me, even though it is extremely convenient to access and it is free. I am also in a crunch for time and thus don’t go to Starbucks to get coffee in

What I’ve Got: Popsugar.com

This is probably my favorite website, as I can get cooking recipes, fashion inspiration and interior design ideas. Popsugar is a global media and technology company including lifestyle media publishin

What I’ve Got: Mango.com

After studying abroad and living in Europe for a year, I really got into the clean-cut fashion that every 20-something sported. I found a few new favorite companies and brands, MANGO being one of them

What I’ve Got: Mugs from different countries and a DIY mugrack

I love coffee and teas, and interior design, as you might have seen from a previous posts about a dinosaur tea-infuser and my favorite site popsugar.com, and so I am in love with any ideas on how to c

What I’ve Got: Sunrise Calendar

I used to use iCal, but after some difficulties with it not saving my events, I switched to Google Calendar. But I missed the slick feel of iCal. So, I decided to try Sunrise. Just like iCal, it can s

What I’ve Got: Kendra Scott

I got this ring as a birthday gift from my mom and dad last year, and I wear it very often. It’s really elegant and beautiful. I do not wear much jewelry and if I do, I generally switch out the same c
