Hotlanta

Okay so let me explain... These past few months have been insane for me. I've felt like I've been playing catch up ever since this school year has started. Although I've been swamped with everything due to senior year responsibilities, and just life in general, I have gone on some pretty great adventures lately and I think it's about time I share them.

Last semester I went to Atlanta with the Advertising Society on campus to visit different agencies. Of course I've been before, but theres something about exploring Atlanta with some of your closest friends and colleagues that's not quite like anything else. Here's a few pics of us looking like we came straight out of a sitcom eating our way through the big city.

P.S. Thank you for your continuous support and for checking back with my blog! I promise I'm back for good!

Post-Italy Depression

Jeans+Shirt+Shoes: Urban Outfitters // Kimono: Free People

It has officially been 22 days since I have left Italy, and I couldn’t be more sad about it. I can honestly say it is the weirdest feeling being back in America. Everything feels so different! It’s really hard to explain, but basically my body longs for Italian air (super cheesy, but so true). I have to catch myself from daydreaming about what I would be doing in Italy if I were still there… who I would be with, what I would be eating and what beautiful buildings I would be walking by. Although I wish I could have stayed forever (not even joking), I had to come back for my best friend’s wedding, my internship with Macy’s and classes (unfortunately). In my hopes to keep living the Italian lifestyle, on my day off I decided to explore the Tampa/St. Pete area and check out Oxford Exchange and the Dali Museum. Finding cool coffee shops, bookstores, museums and hipster restaurants is probably one of my favorite things to do. Here are a few pictures I took from my adventures! Thanks for stopping by my blog and supporting me through my post-Italy depression (I’m dyinggg). Xoxo Kendall

Lost in a Maze

A few weekends ago my roommates and I stopped by a local fall festival in town and I couldn’t resist snapping a few pics in the corn maze. Since the weather dropped a little and I was too lazy to do my hair I threw on a cute sweater and my fav new beanie. I always end up wearing beanies because I have a hard time finding a hat or headband that fits just right. I am so thankful for the beanie trend because my abnormally shaped head would be lost in the fall! And of course I had to tie in all my favorite fall colors. Happy Autumnal Equinox! -xoxo Kendall

Floral Affair

I don't know about you, but there is something about wearing floral in the fall. Gotta love a good printed maxi dress. If you haven't realized already, I'm that girl on campus that always dresses up for class. For some reason even when I'm feeling lazy, I still feel the need to pull together a comfy cute outfit. Don't get me wrong, I'm not judging you girls that where sweatpants and t-shirts to class. It's just not for me. Picking my outfits in the morning is what I live for. Ok I'm exaggerating a little, but in all seriousness I really do enjoy pulling together my look for the day, especially when it involves a maxi dress! I hope you have as much fun picking out your outfits as I do:) As always, xoxo Kendall

Royals

For this fall season I have been really digging royal-esque colors (if thats even a thing). Emerald green, Ruby red, and Royal blue are my go-to fall colors because they are so rich and warm. I have been dying to wear these knee-high socks for a while now and of course I had to pair them with a royal blue baby doll dress to satisfy my royal color obsession. I am definitely not afraid to experiment and now that its finally cooler out, I am looking forward to styling with lots of layers and textures this fall season. Stay tuned for more of my styling adventures and thanks for stopping by:) xoxo Kendall

Sleepless in Seattle

Last week I had the opportunity to attend a retail conference in Seattle called Shop.Org, through my university. This year the Shop.Org Summit focused on digital retail and was designed to educate college students across the nation on the digital and e-commerce world of the retail industry and career opportunities that are available. I am very thankful that I was able to attend this prestigious event and speak with many successful retail companies. I had a blast! So here is the breakdown of my adventures in Seattle. Check out my Instagram @kendalldwilliams for more frequent posts. xoxo Kendall

First stop, Gainesville Regional Airport!

After arriving in Seattle and dropping my luggage off at my hotel, I decided to explore downtown and hit up Pike Place Market (5 min. from my hotel, woop woop!) where I had the most amazing turkey burger and lemon lavender soda!
