I just spent a few days in New Orleans! I've been wanting to go for ages and I finally got to go because my family went to spend New Years in New Orleans and watch Ole Miss play in the Sugar Bowl! We did all the fun tourist things and it was a super fun little trip! We went to the St. Louis Cathedral, the St. Louis Cemetery, explored the french quarter and walked up and down Bourbon Street. We even enjoyed some Beignets at the famous Café Du Monde! It was also great to see the Rebs win!!

I'm currently in the middle of a musical (Guys and Dolls) through a community theatre in my home town. I had a few days off so my mom and I took advantage of my time off and went up to Chicago for an impromptu trip to see Pippin which just opened. I was able to get student "rush seat" tickets the day of the performance so we got them for really cheap! I'm a huge fan of the theatre and I always try to dress nicely when I go to a show. This dress was perfect for roaming around the city all day while being dressy enough for a night at the theatre. I love this dress because it is very versatile and can be worn with a cardigan or on its own for different seasons.

Hey y'all! I just got home after a nice week up north at my friend Chandler's Grandparent's lake house near Minoqua, Wisconsin! This was my fifth year going with her and it has become the highlight of my summer! We spend our days going out on the lake, boating, swimming, and messing around on the paddle board. Chandler's grandma works at a nearby boys camp so we go over to the camp for their events a lot, and we're friends with some of the councilors. They live on Trout Lake which is so clear and beautiful (we even wash our hair in the lake!) The weather was perfect for our trip with warm sunny days and the lake water wasn't too cold.

As many times as we have been in the area, we never knew that Woodruff, Wisconsin is home to the Worlds Largest Penny!

In Georgetown we went to The Tombs for lunch which was recommended by Carly from The College Prepster. For desert we went to Olivia Macaron where I had a strawberry champagne macaron (it was my first one!) and I must say it changed my life! It was amazing!
For breakfast one morning we went to Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, which was highly recommended when we were searching for doughnut places to try. I am not very adventurous so I only got a vanilla doughnut but they had some really crazy flavors like "maple bacon" for those who are interested in trying something different.
One of my favorite places that we tried was GCDC (Grilled Cheese District of Colombia!). They had every type of grilled cheese you could ever dream of and you could completely customize it! I am sort of obsessed with grilled cheese and GCDC was fantastic!
My favorite place we ate on the trip was Sugar Shack. It is a little doughnut place in Alexandria, and it served what were quite possibly the best doughnuts I have ever had. They were huge (my dad and I got a bunch cause we wanted to try them all) and we definitely overcommitted. My favorite was the "Apple Cake Doughnut" which was different than your average doughnut but not too crazy for me either.
On our last night we went back to Georgetown and tried Georgetown Cupcake from the TLC show "DC Cupcakes." They did not disappoint. At any point there is a line stretching out the door to try them. They had countless flavors to choose from though a few flavors had sold out as we got there right around closing. I tried the "Vegan Apple Cinnamon" cupcake, far from my usual vanilla, and I was very impressed!
