OOTD: Lake Union

This summer, I made a Seattle bucket list full of places I wanted to see before I graduate and leave in December. I only hit a couple places over the summer, but I'm working on prioritizing going on more adventures this quarter. When my parents came to visit and asked what I wanted to do, I immediately said that I wanted to see Lake Union and the Ballard Locks. Luckily, my parents are always up for an adventure, and my mom booked us seats on a boat tour of the area. It was one of the last nice days of the year, so I relished the opportunity to wear my favorite romper for what will probably be the last time of 2016. I bought this romper a couple years ago at Last Chance. Nordstrom sends all its repaired and out-of-season returned items to Last Chance in Arizona, where the items are resold for 75-90% off. I bought every Topshop piece that I own at Last Chance, because it's the only place where I can afford one of my favorite brands.

OOTD: Patterns and Pleats

Hello from Boston! For the second spring break in a row, I'm visiting Brendan at Harvard. We've been walking all over the city looking at the beautiful and historic architecture. These pictures were taken after walking 4.67 miles on the Freedom Trail, which took us from the North End to Charlestown. Keep up with my adventures by following me on Snapchat: my username is thehannahgold.

OOTD: Graffiti Girl

I've never actually made graffiti before, but I've had a lengthy infatuation with street art. This street near Pike Place Market is so beautiful and full of awesome street art. It was the perfect background for my "casual non-tourist visiting tourist sites" outfit that I wore specifically for Pike Place.

Fashionista Friday: The Jungle Look

I've experimented with preppy style in the past, but this jungle print featured in my latest CollegeFashionista post is by far one of my favorite preppy trends. Of course, I couldn't help but accessorize the print with all black, including a faux leather jacket and chunky sandals.

DIY: Marble Computer Case

Since seeing marble print electronics, well, everywhere, I've officially become obsessed with the print. I recently decided to give my computer a full makeover using a marble print skin. My last protective case had simply fallen apart, and I was also in dire need of a new keyboard cover, so it worked out perfectly. This is the first time I've had to re-protect my computer in the two years that I've had it, which feels pretty lucky to me considering I have to change my iPhone case every couple months.

I used: a marble print laptop skin, a silver keyboard cover, a fuschia matte protective case, and a Broke & Fabulous sticker.

Voila! I'm really happy with how it turned out. It was easy to do and well worth the $40 I spent on the project, especially considering this was the first time I've redecorated my computer since I got it.

New Festival Style

Every year, the Coachella weekends see thousands of people in flower crowns, fringe, and general boho attire gather to see some of the world's most popular music. Personally, though, I'm kind of tired of seeing the same street style over and over every year. Luckily, this year saw a couple new trends that I'd buy tickets to Coachella to wear.

Fashionista Friday: Pretty In Pink

Meet my fashion icon of the week: Nicole Antoinette Roberts. With a to-die-for job at kate spade, a flawless sense of style, and a beautiful wardrobe, it's surprising I haven't featured her on CollegeFashionista before! Luckily, I was able to do so this week in my most recent CollegeFashionista post.

I'm simply obsessed with this ballet slipper pink that Nicole rocks so effortlessly. I have a purse in a similar color but the structure and clean shape of Nicole's kate spade blows my purse out of the water! I've just put it on my birthday wish list (it's exactly a month away!), but I'm perfectly content to follow in Nicole's footsteps in find other ways to wear this color.
