Fur Vests for Fall

As the fall weather creeps up I've been noticing more and more Danish women wearing fabulous furs throughout the city. Fur coats, scarves, and fur lined sweaters are extremely popular. One of my favorite fall fur pieces is the vest. I love how it can be paired with any kind of outfit, from dresses and skirts for going out to button downs and silk shirts for day and even flannels as weekend wear! My mom has some fabulous fur vests and when I was home over winter break last year I may have borrowed a couple of them for different events. Not only do they add an element of sophistication to an outfit but the extra layer helps keep warm! 

The look above is absolutely amazing... love the combo. 

Perfectly paired with flannels for weekend below! 

Of course the classic button down and fur vest is perfect for running around for the day! 

Have a great day! xox

Weekend Wishes

On my way back from school today I decided to explore through a couple of streets that are absolutely and quintessentially Scandinavian. I've ridden by them before and since I was just returning on my own I thought I would stop and take a peak... the roads were so quaint. I don't even think the picture does it justice but I thought I would share an original weekend wishes picture for a change! 

Even though  I am in Denmark and they don't celebrate Labor Day I hope everyone at home has a wonderful three day weekend! Although Labor Day typically marks the end of summer I don't mind the transition to fall. In fact, I got the best care package yesterday and in addition to amazing letters and printouts, some granola and peanut butter pretzels from the family, I also got the J.Crew Fall magazine. Fall means back to school and transition to fall clothes...

I'm loving the J.Crew collection this fall! Their jackets this season are amazing... I love this cute one and this is beyond amazing! This weekend in Denmark is expected to be pretty overcast and rainy so cuddling up in these would be wonderful too! 

I read this blog feature this morning on the owner of the company Waiting on Martha. I loved how honest she was about her business and her world and took away this powerful quote, "Comparison is the thief of all joy." The pictures of her office are stunning as well! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend! xox

I'm In Copenhagen!

I'm officially here! After a long day traveling yesterday and getting moved into my amazing dorm I went out for some exploring. Today has involved a trip to the center of Copenhagen and getting books for my classes. I'll have the first night of home cooking tonight and am excited for the adventure... I have to say I like the idea of shopping for groceries so often and getting fresh! More pictures to come but in the meantime check out this post for some more Copenhagen stories!

Time To Decompress

Hello! Its been such a long time since my last blog post... these past few weeks have been a complete whirlwind. I finished my sophomore year of college on Friday, and the weeks leading up to were packed with assignments. Finals week was beyond exhausting, I was getting 3-4 hours of sleep each night and although the week felt like it was never going to end, it is officially over! Sophomore year was amazing, I had so many amazing experiences both academically and socially that I am so grateful for and will never forget. It's hard for me to believe that I am half way done with college, next semester I am off to Copenhagen, Denmark to study abroad... I will keep updating the blog with pictures and experiences throughout that journey)! In the meantime, however, I will be getting a lot of rest, preparing for my trip, and going back to my amazing campus for a couple of weeks to do research in my lab. 

What do you all have planned for the summer? 

Enjoy! xox
