"LoveShackFancy" Brought My Childhood Daydreams To Life

I have always been very attentive towards my personal style. If I had to describe it in a sentence, it would be: classic goodies with an individualized twist. In high school, I remember planning out my outfits every night before bed. This was important to me because I never felt complete unless I was confident in my outfit choice. Does anyone relate? Now that I'm in college, I don't try as hard because, well, trendy loungewear exists. But this makes me sad because styling myself has always been a genuinely enlightening experience, or even hobby, of mine. Nonetheless, I still appreciate fashion just as much.

One of my favorite ways to waste time is by restlessly weeding through thousands of items on Poshmark. When I go back to admire certain things I've saved, I often see patterns. For example, I'll obsess over 20 garments with a very similar aesthetic but I won't recognize it until I see them all next to each other. And that is just how this love story begins.

LoveShackFancy listings were flooding into my Poshmark feed. It was fate, you see. I of course couldn't help but study every inch of their Instagram shortly afterwards. At first I was convinced that someone had found my diary from elementary school and used it to inspire an entire clothing line. Kudos to their head of social media, I was simply mesmerized by the Instagram page. It's perfect really. Within the bows and flowers you'll find thoughtfully designed garments for ladies of all ages and scenery to compliment. And then I said the name aloud, "LoveShackFancy." Goodness, could it be any cuter? If it we're a person I'd just have to squeeze their cheeks.

After some extensive internet surfing, I was able to learn more about LoveShackFancy and how it all began. Once a upon a time there was a woman named Rebecca Cohen. It is said that Miss Cohen was in the midst of creating her own bridesmaids' dresses when she uncovered her true calling. The dreamt up, vintage inspired dresses became a reality and the universe was begging for more. That is the universe of all things cute and whimsical, duh. I'd say the transition from fashion writer to fashion designer has reaped fancy rewards, indeed.

Shades of strawberry milk and lavender bouquets charm the boutique and it's dainty designs. LoveShackFancy sells dresses, skirts, matching sets, and more. These articles of clothing instantly become masterpieces under the attention of LSF. For bridesmaids and mermaids alike, they'll make you want to dance along the Mediterranean Sea, or pick peonies for crown making. There's an outfit worthy of your wildest daydreams and all of the memories made in between. Someone cue the album Gossamer by Passion Pit!

I find it very special when clothing is able to transform a mood, let alone set it. You could base an entire dinner party around the aesthetic of an LSF garment. Typically, it's the other way around. A whole lifestyle is influenced through the brand as it inspires women to dream, explore, and create. The versatility of the designs make for timeless sustainability. A simple white embroidered maxi dress might act as a wedding gown to one, but as a tea party ensemble to another. The choice of fabrics are also under careful consideration, prices are reflective of the high quality. These majestic getups will last beyond a lifetime, keeping the spirit of LoveShackFancy alive for every daughter and sister to enjoy. I've caught the Fancy fever just by looking at the clothes. Although, I do hope to eventually own a closet (or should I say shack) full of the lovely label. Then I'd surely live happily ever after, as would my juvenescent fantasies.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
