Midweek Ramblings + Recent Purchases + Current Wishlist.




{Follow me on social media @miss_alk!}



Ramblings: 
  • Taking a girls' weekend: I had the most wonderful girls' weekend with one of my classmates from broadcasting school, and it was so needed! My classmate Jana is moving in March to Florida for a job opportunity (yay Jana!), and before she leaves she invited me to spend a weekend with her family. They attend a local Police Ball in her home city every year, and she invited me to be her +1. I almost ended up canceling out on the weekend, as I'm feeling about 110% overwhelmed with the things going behind-the-scenes in my life right now. (I do hope to share what all is happening with that soon! Promise!!) Anyways, I ended up convincing myself to go despite the craziness of my life right now, and my goodness, what a fun weekend it was! I had a lovely time with Jana and her family at the Police Ball, and I realized that getting all dolled up for a night out and dancing in the company of new and old friends is the perfect cure to stress. Jana and I also had a blast doing pictures the next day (she needed some headshots done, so she booked a session with my photographer Deeana as well!), and all in all it was a perfect weekend. Y'all- make time for girls' weekends! They're important! 
  • Amazing Ross deals: I'll link some similar pieces in the Recent Purchases section of this post, but I scored some amazing deals at Ross this weekend! This store is normally very hit or or miss for me, and in the past I've had trouble finding clothes that I like there. But I wound up there this weekend, and was amazed by how many cute items they had! There were so many off the shoulder and lace-up tops and dresses, and many other fun trendy pieces as well. I ended up purchasing six things for under $70! I can't wait to wear my new finds on my upcoming vacation. If you have a Ross near you- give it a visit soon!
  • Finishing my last internship: This is my last week at my internship with a local morning radio show! I began right after New Years, and have been with them for about eight weeks. It was one of the shorter internships that I've ever had, but I still had the chance to learn a lot about radio production from it. I hope to be starting some career-related blog posts in the next month or two, and I'll definitely share more about this experience. I still can't believe that out of many years of various internship opportunities, I've finished the last one! Hello, adulthood- you're so very close!


Purchases:
  • As I mentioned above, I scored very well at Ross this weekend! One thing that I snatched up was the cutest striped dress with shoulder cut-outs. The colors (and price!) are similar to this one!
  • I have been in desperate need of some new sneakers for a long time, and I finally got the ones that I've been craving for such a long time! I am just loving my new sneakers
  • Another Ross score was a striped tunic top, and this one is very similar!
  • I ordered this top in the Nordstrom Winter Sale which ended last weekend. Who is already excited for the big NSale?!


Wishlist:
  • I'm still in desperate need of a new iPhone case (what else is new- haha!)... how cute is this one for spring! 
  • The prettiest pops of color can be found in this pencil skirt.
  • I'm basically always craving the newest arrivals, like this dress, from this favorite brand of mine.



      My question for y'all this week: have you had a fun girls' weekend recently? What all did you do?

  9. Congrats on wrapping up your internship! I think working in radio would be so cool! I originally went to college wanting to major in broadcasting, but I switched to Journalism/PR/Social Media during my second semester of my freshman year. Best wishes for a bright future in radio!

  13. Sometimes when real life starts to get overwhelming, the best thing you can do for yourself (and others) is take a few days off. Glad you had a good time in FL.
