photo diary: oktoberfest! [oct. 3-6]

Finally getting around to uploading photos on here from Oktoberfest! Last weekend we went up to Munich, Germany to the world-famous Oktoberfest. It was a BLAST. What a weekend.

details lately...

Haven't had much of a chance to do my usual outfit posts lately, being so busy taking photos of the students on our trips! My Nikon is also currently broken...so sad! Hoping to get it fixed ASAP. In the meantime, I'll be using my phone.

Outfit details from lately:

Dixie glitter sweatershirt | Nordstrom hat (similar here and here)

My latest instagram: 

Stella & Dot scarf | Nordstrom sunglasses | Nike shoes (similar here, with a touch of pink!)

A little shopping from Croatia...  

From the market, these look like they could be inspired by J. Crew or Kate Spade, don't you think?

Loafers and sandals, also from the market.

And then I got these Nike high tops! I always said sneakers were just for the gym, until I moved to Europe...where literally everyone wears them. There is so much great style to be inspired by here, and I just had to snag a pair.

friday's fancies: color crush

This week's Friday's Fancies theme with Long Distance Loving is color crush. I've been loving all the beautiful emerald green clothing I've been seeing in the store windows in Florence and am excited to incorporate Pantone's Color of the Year into my outfits this fall and winter. I love the two dresses below, and the outfit from the Twin-Set lookbook!

photo diary: croatia [sep. 24-27]

I led another trip to Croatia last weekend, and it was just as fun and beautiful as the first time! Here are a few photos from the weekend:

Beautiful sunset on the water

Island hopping

The real deal

We ate the fish!

I want these cute flip flops!

"What does Blue Sky flavor taste like?" "Bubble gum"

"Swans are right there"

"How does this translate?" Haha

Another fun weekend! Tomorrow night I am off to Germany for Oktoberfest. I am so excited.

friday's fancies: work wear

I haven't had a chance to partake in Friday's Fancies with Long Distance Loving for a couple weeks, but am excited to be back this week! The theme is work wear. While I currently wear whatever for my current job, over the summer the dress code for my job in DC/NYC was business casual.

dress, blazer, bag, necklace, watch, shoes

I am lusting over that bright pink Milly dress! Anything bright pink catches my eye. A watch is a necessary component to any work outfit, and this Kate Spade one is simple but still pretty.
