I'm truly thankful for all my fans. Recently, I've been receiving a lot of helpful tips on my future career.

I guess, since my "Why would I want to graduate?" faux pas last month on the View, people are concerned. In any case, some of the ideas are downright genius. General Manager of the new Elizabeth Hotel is right up my alley. And I have the perfect skill set: I'm downtown almost every day!!

Style Notes: Mod Stripe Dress by Paper Plane $46.95; Fuzzy Trim Duster in Cocoa by Ryu $79.95; Wool Floppy in Charcoal by Scala $34.95; and Agate Pendant Necklace $22.95

Recently, I was invited on the View so I could show off my "Anatomically Correct" glow-in-the-dark dress. 

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to prep so I may have blundered through some of the tougher questions. But, I mean, who really needs to know what I plan on doing after graduation, anyway? Those ladies are pretty cut throat ...

Hope everyone has a fabulous Halloween!

Style Notes: Anatomically Correct Dress by Folter $69.95; Saguaro Suede Porkpie by Peter Grimm $29.95; and Hudson messenger bag in Black by Urban Expressions $79.95

Back from Tuscany and settling in again at CSU. They agreed to let me waive "Advance Fashion Logistics" after Daddy made a generous donation to the Dean's Annual Fundraiser. And really, I won't need to master the boring back of house stuff to run a successful business. Surely I can hire people for that.

Style Notes: Lily Photo Print Dress by Frock Shop $99.95; Jersey Bomber in charcoal by Sweet Rain $46.95; Katelyn Laser Cut Tote in Sky Blue by Shiraleah $59.95; Toyo Safari with Tassels by Scala $26.95; Agate Chip Necklace $15.95

Let's just say that life has thrown me a curve ball. Daddy cut off my allowance and my support group (Sorority) and I went out last night to commiserate. Only one thing will fix this: the Cure from Urban Egg! It's my go to place for struggle days...

I'm taking a fabulous new art class at the local studio Pinot's Palette. They tell me exactly what to paint and I produce stunning masterpieces (that I sell to my parents for a small fortune). This business model has proven so successful, I've decided to trademark the idea and sell it to struggling students at CSU.

Happy New Year, bitches ... I've finally recovered from 6 days of reckless abandon (and tequila) in Playa del Carmen and can now focus on my resolutions.  Most importantly, I need to throw off the shackles of College debt so I can rely purely on my natural resources (my good looks and daddy's bank account. duh).

Here's to 2017 being everything that 2016 was not!! Plus I'd appreciate if the Universe would serve up more dreamy boys in sweater vests.

Phew, elections are over!

And I am once again back on the political path I am destined for: Head Council member at Omega Mu. My sorority sisters are kindred spirits; perhaps the only people who truly appreciate my creative spirit and audacious search for meaningful employment.

So the head Librarian decided to relieve me of my job for the most ridiculous reason. I mean, who does she think she is? It's not my fault I had the hiccups last week. And since I couldn't speak, I clearly had no way to let her know I wouldn't make it to my shift.

Obviously switching to a Fashion Merchandising major will assure my future career, so I'm not worried about this minor set back. And that cute boy in the stacks was so high maintenance. Pretending to read all those book suggestions he gave me was getting really exhausting ...

Style Notes: Tribal Print Shift in Wine by She & Sky $49.95; Pointelle Flyaway Cardigan by Debut Dreamers $36.95; Burgundy Wool Floppy Hat by Scala $34.95; Metallic Edge Infinity Scarf $16.95; and Lion Head Necklace $15.95

Contemplating my decision to turn down Oxford as I unpack my belongings in the CSU dorm. My time with the Duke was fun, but I'm determined to pursue my career as an equine vet. Plus skiing ... and hipsters.
