Tastes, texts, tips & tricks, textiles & treats. Welcome to dc to a "t".
There are so many good books I’ve read over the years that I’d love to recommend to you all, so I thought I would do a roundup here (inspired by Mackenzie’s list from last week, definitely check it out for further recs!). Now that I’ve started blogging, I plan to continue my monthly book posts, but…
This is a different kind of post, so bear with me! I love blogging, but as you can probably tell, my blog isn’t so much a diary of my everyday life as it is a place for me to share with you all the things I love. When I studied abroad in Scotland in…
Another month of fun books! While I absolutely loved my grad school curriculum, it is so nice to be able to read for pleasure without feeling guilty! As much as I enjoyed our assigned texts, they weren’t quite like the books I cover below 😉 Still working on The Singles Game (moving has kept me…
I realize that many of you college students have already moved in (maybe even weeks ago!). My undergrad classes always began after Labor Day, which meant that I was always one of the last left at home. If you’re still prepping for back to school or have some downtime before classes and clubs kick…
This post isn’t super glamorous, but not all apartment must-haves are that exciting. However, whether you’re moving in on your own for the first time or unpacking boxes in your third apartment (which is exactly what I’m doing this week!), I hope this post will serve as a helpful resource! What else would you add…
I’m gonna let you guys in on a secret. It may ruin my credibility as a blogger, but I have to tell ya. Ok I’m kidding, this isn’t a huge scandal, but before I started college in New England, I wasn’t a fan of fall (but now I love it–so don’t worry, I’m right…
I love changing up my gallery wall, so purchasing prints can become an expensive habit! When I lived in New York, I ordered a few wallpaper swatches that I ended up framing (although I can’t remember the company from which I ordered at the moment), and they looked super cute. I came across Spoonflower…
One // Two // Three My mom keeps several old trunks in our house that were from her childhood home–one is used as a coffee table in our basement and I love the look. I purchased a greenish-brown trunk in Philly (it’s prettier than it sounds, promise!) and used it in my apartment there, but…
From the Everygirl: “4 Things to Know When Building Your Social Circle,” by Sarah Seung-McFarland. Love love love this article on making friends as an adult. I agree wholeheartedly with all of these points, it’s as if I wrote it myself! From My Domaine: “You’ll Land the Job If You Leave This Accessory at Home,”…
Just a few things I’m obsessing over at the moment (the above chair/blanket situation included)… HGTV Magazine. Love reading it, and the campaign dresser styling in the latest issue made me want to scream–in the best way (but I didn’t, because I was reading the issue on a plane and didn’t want to freak anyone…
