Spring Break in Snow

As this is being posted I am on a flight back to PDX for the last month of my freshman year (crazy how fast the year went by!) but here are some pictures of what I spent my last week doing!

From top left: flew home to Minnesota, cut 8 inches off my hair, did a bit of shopping, celebrated an early Easter, was given the worlds coolest umbrella (all the way from Belgium), and attempted to make French Macarons. 

My spring break wasn’t terribly exciting but the week off at home was exactly what I needed to help unwind and prepare for the stress I am going to have to deal with back at school, my classes are loading everything on within this last month! 

Hope you all had/will have/are having great spring breaks, talk to you soon

Style Crush: Ulyana Sergeenko

To me, Ulyana Sergeenko is the absolute epitome of style, grace, elegance, and glamour. Her looks are always timeless and perfectly put together, I love the way she mixes vintage and contemporary pieces together to create a modern, yet somehow nostalgic, look every time. Perfectly poised in every shot, her style and energy are two things that I aspire to channel into myself everyday. 

Here are some of my favorite looks:

Also, can we talk about how amazing her hair and make-up are? Maybe it’s the great bone structure and huge eyes and lips that just make everything look angelic, but I would love to take a look inside of her makeup bag. I especially love the lipstick she is wearing the in the photo belowRevisiting these photos just makes me want to shop for full skirts, amazing heels, and loads of lipstick….but then again when isn’t that the case?

Who are some of your style crushes?

OOTD: Ready, Set, Red

What I Wore [Dress: Anthropologie (on sale!), Shoes: Zara, Necklace: Accessorize]

As much as I miss Minnesota I love being able to wear dresses and ballet flats in the middle of March, sometimes Portland weather is just perfect :)

Hoping things are just as lovely where you are,

OOTD: Sunday Brunch

What I Wore [Dress: Gap, Belt and Earrings: Forever 21, Boots: Lucky]

My parents came into town this weekend which meant eating lots of good food and being a tourist around Portland. This morning before they headed back to the Midwest we had brunch at The Daily Cafe in The Pearl, which was amazing. This striped dress, easy hair, and a pair of boots were the perfect thing to throw on this morning and is becoming one of my go-to outfits. Have a good sunday!

Who is this girl and why am I reading her blog?

It’s high time that I formally introduce myself, so here we go.

Hello, my name is Eva and I’m 19 years oldI have an unconditional love for cupcakes and polkadots, am in my first year of college, and love getting dressed up (the picture above is of me on the night of my senior prom)

I was born and raised in northern Minnesota but when it came time to choose a college I decided to spread my wings and head west, to Portland OR. Although I love the city and the Pacific Northwest, Minnesota will always hold my heart.

I have been a dancer since the age of 3 and have been singing, seriously that is, since the 6th grade. Above are some pictures of me performing during my senior year of high school and my freshman year of college.

I love to travel and have been lucky enough to see a good handful of beautiful places, here I am leaning against the Berlin Wall and laying on a beach in Puerto Rico. Places on my bucket list are Iceland, Greece, Spain, and Thailand.

I love food, all kinds of food (although sweets are definitely my favorite), making it and eating it. I can promise that you will never see me on a diet, I love ice cream far too much. 

And finally, I love all warm fuzzy soft things that cuddle with you (bunnies, cats, dogs, etc.), here are some pictures of the love my live. Her name is Rory and she is my sisters cat, which means we have to struggle through a long distance relationship, but it’s worth it! 

So, that’s a bit of me, but if you want to know more or have questions my ask box is always open! I’ll probably make another one of these posts in a bit about some of my favorite things (music, movies, books, designers, television shows) but until then I hope this suffices for a little look into my world :)

Talk to you all soon,

-Eva
