Ready for take off


So I have always had a slight addiction to looking at what celebs wear at the airport. Why? Because honestly it is the best way for me to steal their style and get real ideas because that it the type of clothing I wear everyday. Most of the time it is comfortable, with over sized sweaters, boots and jackets, and minus the sweatpants I bring out on a regular basis I really embrace that look during the school week. Here are some of my favorites from the whowhatwear.com newsletter I get!

Life in a Suitcase:

So this Winter Break I felt like I was always on the road...and in reality I was. I ended up home only for 3 days before I drove 7 hours to see my boyfriend in Duluth, MN then back home, then to Madison where I left with a caravan of gypsys (aka a bunch of my guy friends) to travel to Chicago for New Years. There a friend had rented out a bar and we got champagne ( a bottle for each of us ) on entering and danced the night into 2011. From there it was back to Madison to watch the rose bowl game which ended up with us all being depressed and drinking copius amounts of alcohol to make up for the pain of losing.
Part 2 of my journey is me driving home to meet up with my hometown friends to fly to Orlando, FL with them to spend a week at a friends timeshare. Thank god for a tan in this Wisconsin winter. From Florida I flew directly to NYC to meet with my fellow students in retail to go the the National Retail Federation Conference (3rd year for me attending and sadly last as a wisco student). NY was fantastic, it was the best of the 3x I had gone with my school on that trip. We went salsa dancing, ate great sushi, went to some great nightclubs and ate some fantastic food. We also got the chance to meet Lauren Conrad and Bobby Flay to see their new lines and partnerships with Kohls department stores (they sponsor our trip there).
From there it was home for 3 days, one touring apartments in Milwaukee where I will be moving in June (sad face), one watching the packer game (last game this weekend and if we win we are going to the superbowl!!!) before heading back to madison for my last semester there (again even bigger sad face).

Concrete Jungle


Where dreams are made. Its the city that never sleeps and one of my favorite travel destinations in the entire world. I have been to many cities but nothing ever is as fun or compares to the life and feeling you get when you are in NYC.

I was lucky enough this year to go with my school again to the National retail federation conference for my major. Also Kohls sponsors one day of our trip where we get to look at their design studio and we also got lucky enough to Meet...drum roll please

we also got a preview of LCs line and got to eat appetizers while hearing from bobby at his restaurant Bar Americain.

There I went on a hunt for a great fur vest and also visited the new Kardashian store "DASH" in soho on Spring street. I was immediately in love with the wildfox shirts there, always have been a fan of the brand.

Still on the hunt and saving money to buy my speedy from LV next time I venture back to the city.

Also the shorts I have shown here look just like the ones Lauren wore. She paired them with a patterned coral top, black blazer, black shiny leggings and black pumps. Her hair was in the typical loose curls you see whenever she is in the spotlight.

Wearing my burberry scarf I was sky high with excitement as my group went to greenhouse night club, got sushi at sushi samba, went salsa dancing and ventured into Greenwich village to hit up a club that was close enough to end up at some full college bars "like off the wagon".

Overall a fantastic trip :) cant wait to go back to the city so nice they named it twice.
