d.i.y. monogrammed laptop case

Continuing on in our pursuit of prettiness, I set my sights on my laptop, which was looking a little bare. I decided to glam it up a bit with some of our favorite things: monograms, pictures of some of our favorite people, and glitter! Here's a super simple guide to make one yourself:

What You'll Need: A clear snap-on laptop case, a monogram decal, Duck Glitter Tape, a picture collage (use actual pictures, or make one on your computer and print one out - measure your laptop screen beforehand and keep the collage within those dimensions), tape, and scissors

Step 1: Tape together your picture collage if needed.

Step 2: Stick the monogram decal to the center of your picture collage
(center it before sticking it to ensure proper placement!)

Step 3: Using the glitter tape, place the picture collage picture-side down inside the laptop case. Tape around the border of the picture collage, letting the tape curl under the rounded edges of the laptop case, and trimming it to fit where needed.

That's it! Snap the case on and enjoy!

living in leggings

I can't lie - after the bar exam, I had a serious problem transitioning back to normal clothes (you know, those that are not sweatpants/pajamas). I've since come to realize that there's nothing wrong with being a little comfy all the time. Be it in flats, an oversized sweater, or - dare I say it - leggings.

Now I'm totally of the "leggings are not pants" school. But, I'm also a firm believer that when styled properly, leggings can be a worthy substitute. The key is the length of your top - it must be on the longer side. For instance, when paired with hi-top sneakers and a chunky sweater (above), or a tunic-length button-down and booties (below), leggings pass quite convincingly (and comfortably!) as most structured, street-ready garments.

So where do you stand? Leggings or no leggings?

..Now transitioning out of this coat, that's another story. #Obsessed
