Hello, it’s me… Arielle! For 2016 I figured I should finally muster up the resolve to finally create the blog I’ve been thinking about for way too long. My friends and even strangers are always complimenting my outfits – when I actually decide I want to wear something other than sweats – my makeup, and my hair, and I always want to share where I got that outfit, how I got my hair that way, and anything else I can to help others feel like they can do the same things! I want this blog to be about fashion, beauty, travel, and loving yourself in a world that pressures us all to not be ourselves.

So, let me start off my telling you all a little about myself! I’m originally from Los Angeles, California (west siiiide!) – not born, but raised – and am currently studying cognitive science and consumer psychology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. I love hanging out with friends, I’m obsessed with dogs (it might be an unhealthy obsession… does anyone else FaceTime with their dog? no..? …alright then), I’m a huge foodie, I have always always always loved fashion, and in the past few years have I fallen in love with beauty as well. In a world where everyone wants to highlight and contour their faces everyday, I want to be and feel as beautiful as possible in my natural state. I have nothing against wearing acrylic nails, weaves, tons of makeup, or anything of the like (trust me I do all of the above sometimes lol), but I want people to feel like they’re just as beautiful without it as well! I also just recently joined the illustrious organization, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, so any sorors out there say what’s up! Below you can see just a few snippets from my life 🙂

I hope you enjoy my blog and I’m looking forward to sharing my life with you all!

xoxo, Arielle
