Fall is here in the city of Prague! The wind is blowing, leaves are falling, and the air is crisp and cool. It's a fascinating transition period between the high and happy feeling of summer to the dark and serious feeling of winter.  Dresses are probably the easiest item to transition from summer to fall. You just have to find one more top layer that will protect you from the wind chill so something like a sweater or light jacket. Then you just need another leg layer which is usually tights or knee high socks! Tuck 'em in some boots and voila, you have created the staple look of fall. No matter where you are in the world, I wish you a happy September and a very happy fall!  Photography Credit: Eli Just

Another beautiful day in the city made it ideal for a sleeveless tunic, purple leggings, and the classic gladiator sandals. It may not be Milan fashion week material but it works. Oh, and how could I forget the must needed statement necklace. Honestly these necklaces are the only things that keep me going day to day by making every boring outfit just a tad bit more interesting.  Stay tuned for more Prague blogging...<3 Peace. Love. Prague.

Ahoj from Praha! Yes, I am here and I am alive. Finally got the opportunity to write my first blog post since being here and I wanted to focus on this reoccurring feeling of being overwhelmed.  I've listed some of the factors below:  First there's the fact that you are attending a new school. A very old and very small school. And when I say small I mean that my Economics class back at Arizona is double the size of total enrollment here. Yeah, pretty tiny. The white exterior is pretty cool though, and it's very unique nonetheless.  Then there is the challenge of settling into your new living space. You have to figure out how the shower, the stove, the laundry works, and find the spot where you are most comfortable (I like the futon). Learning how to live with multiple people in a confined space is also a huge challenge but also rewarding because you hear stories and backgrounds that no one can make up.  Food is huge too. To stay alive you must nouri
