If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/katemcreynoldsblog/">Instagram</a> and watch my stories, you know that I've become obsessed with cooking — especially since quarantine started. I've had a lot of fun choosing and trying other people's recipes to cook (so much so that I made a <a href="http://www.classy-kate.com/2020/04/14-amazing-recipes-ive-made-in.html">blog post </a>about it), but I've learned so much that I've also started inventing my own recipes too. In this post, I'm sharing with y'all my very first own recipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Salmon tacos aren't news, but this smoked paprika mango slaw that I dreamt up adds the perfect sweet and smoky touch to the flavor profile. P.S. smoked paprika has easily become my favorite seasoning. I add it into almost everything. </div>

Salmon Tacos with Mango Smoked Paprika Slaw</h2>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Ingredients:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 2 lbs salmon filets (wild caught is my favorite)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 1 lemon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Salt </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Pepper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 8 oz bag of coleslaw</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 1 mango</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 1/4 cup sour cream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 1/4 cup mayo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- 1 tsp smoked paprika</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Small Corn Tortillas (3 per person)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Guacamole (use your favorite, simple recipe)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Salmon: Season with garlic, juice from the lemon, salt and pepper. Bake at 425<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">°</span> for 15-18 minutes (or until the internal temperature is at least 145<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">°</span>).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Smoked Paprika Mango Slaw: Cut mangoes into thin, 2 inch long shards (photo example below). Mix the coleslaw, mango shards, mayo, sour cream, smoked paprika, salt and pepper together in a medium mixing bowl. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Corn Tortillas: Heat and char tortillas on grill or over open stove flame (photo example below). Watch very closely. This step is a bit of added effort but honestly transforms the texture of corn tortillas and add the perfect crispiness to your tacos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Build your tacos with a smear of guacamole, salmon pieces and a dollop of the slaw and enjoy! </div>

One thing I've been day dreaming about during quarantine is redecorating the living room of my NYC apartment. I've thought about it so much and browsed so many websites to create my dream space that I'll be sharing the exact pieces with links that I plan (want) to purchase. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This plan originated from the fact that my roommates and I decided to renew our lease (ending in June) for another year. I was the last to move into this already furnished apartment and most of the decor and furniture were leftover old pieces from my roommates' parents' houses. For me, my home is a sacred space, and having that space be cozy and cute makes me infinitely more happy when spending time in it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when's this going to happen? Well I've pushed back my flight to NYC about 4 times now, but I think this most recent booking for June 26 will stick. After getting back, I'd like to wait a bit longer before making any purchases as I want to make sure my income stream is safe considering all the uncertainty in everything right now. One certain thing that has come from COVID though is that I'll be spending a lot more time at home. Isn't that even more of a reason to invest in making home cuter? ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the widget at the bottom, I've linked all the items pictured in this mood board + a few more I'm considering. There are 3 rugs pictured in the mood board because I'm super torn on which to get (opinions welcome!) What I love most about this decor plan is that everything is super reasonably priced while still appearing very upscale! </div>

I've been seeing pistachio everywhere throughout the past few months in store fronts featuring fashion lines' Spring/Summer Collections. As someone who always gravitates towards mint and sage green in clothing, I'm loving their very close relative, pistachio. I recently purchased this beautiful pair of <a href="https://rstyle.me/+R0x_6ob8wwtO_as9pbPULA">paper bag pants</a> from <a href="https://www.stories.com/en_usd/index.html">& Other Stories</a> (which is one of my favorite stores and has a ton of pistachio colored new arrivals). Like everyone else, I'm in quarantine right now with no where to wear these, but am looking forward to rocking them at work this summer. These pants are sold out in a lot of regular sizes but they run so long (and I'm 5'7!) that the petite sizes, which are fully stocked at the moment, may actually fit better! In this post, I've also rounded up my favorite pistachio pieces from across the web! </div>

While many people end up spending money they wouldn't have spent in the first place thinking they are getting a deal, I think the sale serves a good way to smartly stock up on your essential products or try a new product you actually need (like if you need a new mascara, trying the one I recommend). So, if you are in the market for a new product in any of the below categories, I'm sharing the tried and true products from my daily routine — most are available at Sephora and some aren't (I'll indicate which ones are). I also included a infographic from Sephora that shows all the dates/discounts broken down by tier! I'm pretty sure you can get the lowest tier (10%) just by signing up for their emails and becoming a "Beauty Insider"!<br />

The #1 question I get asked about my makeup is my mascara! I've been using this one from Benefit for years and it's the best I've ever tried. It essentially doubles the length of my eyelashes.</div>

This one puts the Naked palettes to shame. For basically the same price, you get more 4 more shades and it consists of 50/50 matte and shimmer high quality shadows.</div>

I started buying this brow product a couple of years ago after suffering with a really crappy drugstore liner for years. The very fine tip allows for very precise application and blends in very nicely with the rest of my brow. </div>

I only wear liquid eyeliner at night, for events or when taking blog photos but when I do, I wear this one. Basically every friend I have that's borrowed this from me has gone out and purchased it for themselves because it's so great ;) The pen tip application is so precise and opaque.</div>

I used to use the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (tube) but switched to this one (which comes in a pot) because it's even more full coverage. Both last all day and blend with my skin very well. I have really dark, puffy under eyes so the more full coverage, the better. </div>

I have literally been using this product since Freshman year of high school if that tells you anything about how good it is. I have bad rosacea on my face and it has worked miracles in covering it up. I've tried drug store versions and nothing even comes close to working as well. I use it on my cheeks, nose and chin before applying powder foundation over. Don't be intimidated by the green tint — it cancels out the redness and your foundation will cover up the color! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't use a liquid foundation, only this powder one. I love it because it's full coverage and stays all day. I burn through powder foundation very fast so it would be super expensive to buy high end powder. This one works just as well as the ones that are double the price anyway. </div>

This is the only lip product (besides chapstick) I use lol. I don't really like changing up my lip color, I spent years trying to find the perfect color and now that I've found it, I stick to it. It's not just the color — the lipstick is smooth and long lasting too! I included a random selfie below that shows off the color really well for reference.</div>

One of the best things I've been doing with all this newfound free time is researching new recipes and cooking delicious meals for my mom and I almost every night. I've made so many amazing recipes sourced from my favorite IG chefs that I thought I'd share with you! I try to only make healthy or <i>relatively</i> healthy recipes so if you are looking for a dessert recipe, decadent pastas or homemade chicken tenders, you should probably click away ;) Below you'll find the recipe photo and then a "reality" photo of my results, notes/alterations and the recipe link. Although my photos don't do some all of the dishes justice, I can sure you they taste better than they may look. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is probably the healthiest meal on the list since it includes only simple ingredients like chicken breast, veggies, nuts and dried fruit. Of course I had to go and make it less healthy by drizzling it with this <a href="https://www.cookingclassy.com/chicken-broccoli-sweet-potato-sheet-pan-dinner/">Honey Mustard Balsamic Vinaigrette</a>. Some extra calories but made this dish even more tasty. All together it kind of reminds me of a homemade harvest bowl! </div>

It's important to note that I very loosely interpreted this recipe. I omitted the goddess dressing, cucumber and fried egg and added roasted veggies and drizzled the aforementioned <a href="https://www.cookingclassy.com/chicken-broccoli-sweet-potato-sheet-pan-dinner/">Honey Mustard Balsamic Vinaigrette</a> on top. This crispy rice is seriously my new favorite thing! An easy way to give rice a more exciting texture and flavor.</div>

Such a good side dish. You could also mix in roasted chicken to make it a whole meal! I used crushed pecans instead of shaved almonds since that's what I had on hand.</div>

This post is SO long overdue since it's been almost an entire year since I've moved into my apartment! To be fair, it did take almost half a year to get everything looking satisfactory, though. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What ultimately pushed me to make this blog post is the quickly approaching expiration date on it's relevance – I will be moving in a couple of weeks! If you want to read more about that and find out where I am moving, I'll be talking about that in the ending paragraph of this post. </div>

I'll tell you a little more about my current place. Our neighborhood is called Lincoln Square because it's super close to Lincoln Center. What I really like about it is that it's on the cusp of Midtown and the Upper West Side, so you get the commercialism/shopping of Midtown, but also the quaint, cheery and village feel of the Upper West Side – best of both worlds! By far, though, the best part of living up here is that I live a block away from Central Park. The big grassy area in the park called Sheep's Meadow is a 5 minute walk away from me and it is truly one of the most heavenly places in the city (see photo below)! Definitely the part I will miss most about living here. </div>

Pros? True two bedroom (if you've lived in the city you know what a 'flex bedroom' is and know that it is all too common and not the most ideal situation), super safe, convenient to subways, amazing neighborhood and close to Central Park and it's fairly updated/has sleek appliances. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cons? On the 5th floor of a walk up building, no laundry in unit OR in building (so we have to use a laundromat), poor lighting in most rooms because we are right up against another building and no common area storage. Although we are conveniently located to most areas, it is a pain in the butt to get to the East Village and Lower East Side, which is where everyone my age hangs out. I often find myself spending way too much on Ubers to and from that area. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, onto the good stuff – the photos. Unfortunately, all of our stuff is fairly old, but I'll provide links for anything still available. By the way, you'll probably see a small inconsistency in the photos – the rug is not the same in all of them. I took some of these shots a few months back before replacing the rug.</div>

My roommate and I love this apartment and we love each other, but unfortunately she has to move out and so I decided to as well. As much as I love the apartment, it is not worth what we would be paying for it with the renewed lease and the only reason I'd stay is for my roommate. All of that aside, I'm happy to say I will be moving back downtown! To Stuyvesant Town, specifically, which boarders the East Village. This will be an exciting change because I've always been a West side gal. I do love the vibe of my current neighborhood, but I'm excited to be in a younger and more hip area close to tons of restaurants and stores! </div>

If you follow me, you know how dreadful the Northeast winters are to me, a warm weather-loving, native southerner. The only thing that keeps me going a lot of times during these colder months is daydreaming about warmer days and window shopping (or virtual window shopping, really) for what I would wear on said days. In this post, I want to share with y'all all of the pieces I've bookmarked recently and am highly considering purchasing. </div>

One of my New Year resolutions for 2018 was to cook more and eat out less. I usually don't even set New Years resolutions because I'm terrible at sticking to them. However, I'm really happy I set this goal because I've actually done a great job of sticking with it for the past year+! This resolution was conceived solely as a way to save money and eat healthier but it actually helps me in those areas plus so much more. These are all the benefits I have found in cooking. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Saving money</i> - I go to the grocery store maybe once a week and spend $50 each time. This holds me over enough so that I only eat out approximately 5 times per week (minus the occasional bagel or cheap snack). When I do eat out I'm A. doing it for social purposes B. Am too busy to cook C. have been too busy to grocery shop and have run out of food in my fridge. Even if each meal I ate out was $20, I'd still only be spending $250 per month on food TOTAL. I'd say that's pretty good! Side note: I ONLY shop at Trader Joe's in NYC as the products there are considerably cheaper than other NYC grocery stores! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Control over what I put in my body</i> - When I eat out, I am literally incapable of ordering something healthy. My mindset in these situations is "I'm paying good money for this so I REALLY want to enjoy it." I display excellent self-control when grocery shopping, though. If you have been to Trader Joe's in NYC, you know that it's so crazy crowded that there is no time to wander the aisles drooling over all the snacks and chocolate. You make a b-line for what you need then get out ASAP. For this reason, I only get the healthy stuff that I put on my shopping list and therefore, only have healthy things to cook at home, even if I'm craving something unhealthy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sense of control in general</i> - Cooking gives me a sense of control in my finances, my health and my body image. It's really easy to feel out of control of every aspect of your life during young adulthood and it's something I've struggled with a lot lately. During college, you're worried about money, your career, your friendships and relationships and everything just seems completely up in the air. It feels like your life is running you rather than you running your life. Having tighter control over things such as saving money on food and feeling confident about the way you look because you're eating healthier are small things, but really help you to feel like you have reign over some aspects of your life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>30 minutes of peace</i> - In the past, I've heard some adults say that cooking is enjoyable and a stress relieving activity. I now definitely understand and agree with this. I can't put it all into words, but there is something so soothing about it. One thing I know is great about the period of time when you're cooking is that you're away from your phone. As a millennial, I spend way too much time on my phone and definitely admit that I'm addicted to it. Even when I'm working at my internship or doing school work, my eyes are still fixated on a computer screen since everything is digital now. The 30-45 minutes where I'm cooking is a period of time when I can't pick up my phone because my hands are occupied. It's a great opportunity to just disconnect and listen to some music. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see, cooking in and eating out less has changed my life for the better in so many small ways! Let me know if you guys like this kind of post. Food is something I've been putting a lot of thought into lately so I'd be interested in writing more about it! What do you guys like about cooking? Do you cook in or eat out more? Let me know in the comments! </div>

I'm proud, yet ashamed of myself. While brainstorming this post, I was only able to come up with 7 items I love enough to include in this list. On the other hand, the reason for this is I have been extremely frugal when buying clothes this past year. So, I'm an awful blogger but an amazing budgeter! I find these pieces to be staples in my wardrobe, so I'd definitely recommend all of them as great investments (even though some are actually quite affordable!). </div>

I purchased this sweater from J.Crew in the fall in two colors (burgundy and mustard) because I was so in love with it. I'm obsessed with tight fitting, turtleneck tops in general because you can incorporate them into nearly any fall/winter outfit. I think the balloon sleeves on this one add a unique touch that doesn't detract from the versatility. Unfortunately, everyone else agreed this sweater was amazing so it is pretty much sold out across the board. However, I have linked some other balloon sleeve sweaters below!</div>

I probably wore these J.Crew olive pants once a week during my full-time internship over the summer. I had actually been interested in buying pants like these for a couple of years, but could never find ones that fit well until I found these beauties. These ones are so flattering and extremely comfortable to wear in the office or on-the-go all day. While the linen ones I have sold out a while ago, J.Crew released a <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dd2czsb5yi7">cotton twill pair</a> that look almost exactly the same and are made of fabric that is more versatile to wear year round (linen is a summer fabric)!</div>

Unpopular opinion: I've actually never really been a fan of denim jackets. I think they are kind of boring. However, when I found this one, my opinion changed because I think the star print makes it unique and fun. This was actually a gifted item from <a href="https://velvetheart.com/">Velvet Heart Collection</a>. While that one sold out, I found one that looks EXACTLY the same <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/ddz2vkb5yi7">here</a> (and it's on sale!).</div>

This was another gifted product! However, I would 100% buy these jeans over and over again because I love them so much. I definitely wear them at least once a week. They have the "mom jean style" while still being tight fitting and doing wonders for the booty. <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dd2c8pb5yi7">These jeans</a> run true to size. </div>

I had been holding off on buying a pair of tan/taupe suede booties for a while because it was hard to buy the perfect pair. I knew I had to have <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dd2da8b5yi7">these</a> as soon as I saw them! They are simple and modern looking and have the perfect heel height (I'm such a baby and can't wear any shoes with heels too high). This is my third J.Crew item in this post and it's really making me realize I need to diversify where I shop...</div>

Not all jeans are created equal. Which is why I am specifying that I bought these jeans from Topshop. I think white jeans are one of the most frustrating things to buy. The cheap pairs are typically very transparent and show the seam running down the outside of the leg. In other words, it looks like you have a big white stripe running down the side of your leg when you have them on. I was so pleased with <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dd2dbzb5yi7">this Topshop pair</a> because they didn't have this problem and were relatively affordable.</div>

I've noticed the boyfriend plazer to be a huge trend this year. I'm not a big fan of blazers in general, but love the boyfriend style because it's more relaxed and almost feels like you are wearing a cardigan. I've seen most of these blazers come in a combination of black, grey and white, but I specifically like how <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/ddz2y6b5yi7">this H&M one</a> pops with the brown/tan incorporated!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've never really been the type to make new year resolutions until last year when I just felt like I had an overwhelming amount of things I wanted to improve about myself and my life. Since I did a really kick butt job of accomplishing some of my resolutions over the past year, I am inspired to set some for 2019. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2018 wasn't a super great year in any way other than professionally. I discovered my career path and landed an amazing job this year but didn't really experience anything fulfilling in my personal life. I'm seeing everyone post these amazing year recaps and it has made me reflect on how exciting and memorable my year has been (or rather how unexciting and unmemorable it has been). I then feel sad because I don't have enough pictures, stories or anything to commemorate this past year. I know it's bad to compare myself to other people, but this feeling has inspired me to make 2019 a more exciting one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Travel more (even if it's mostly weekend trips)</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really glad I studied abroad in 2017 because it showed me how vital travel and experiencing new places is to creating amazing memories. One possible reason 2018 was so bland is that the only places I went were NYC (where I live), Atlanta (home) and Mississippi (to visit family). Now that I have a looser budget due to having my own income, I really want to use it to travel. I definitely would love to take a bigger weeklong trip at some point in the year, but I also want to utilize holiday long weekends to take short trips. I even just want to take more weekend trips to close by places (like visiting my friend who lives in Saratoga, NY). These ideas don't sound to exciting or extreme, but keep in mind I'm constrained to some extent by my number of PTO days and I would like to keep some of them to just go home and visit my family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Maintain a Gym Routine</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, yes, I know this is the most notorious new year resolution. I'd like to accomplish this resolution to improve my physique, but also for mental purposes. I need some way to relieve stress, tension and bad energy that I build up throughout the day. Only once before in my life have I established a solid exercise routine. It was the summer of 2016 when I was nannying 9-5, Mon-Fri. I'm pretty sure the key to my success there was that I had a consistent daily routine. While I was still in school, I had the most hectic schedule and every day was different so I don't think it would have been possible for me to create a habit of going to the gym (go ahead and tell me I'm just making excuses). However, now that I have a 9-5 job again, I'm quite confident that I can make this new year resolution work! As soon as I get back to NYC in January to start my full time job, I will be joining a gym (TBD on which one). My obstacle is that I have no idea how to do anything in the gym besides run on the treadmill and use the elliptical. If y'all have any ideas to help with this (besides taking group classes) please let me know!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Limit Phone Time</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm fairly good about not being on my phone when I'm hanging out with friends, which I'm really happy about. On the other hand, I'm awful about using up the majority of my free time/commuting time scrolling through social media. I could go on and on about the negative effects of social media on one's happiness. However, I know you all have heard the (extremely true and valid) lectures on how social media makes you feel terrible about your own life and completely inadequate, so I'll spare you. It's bad enough that my full-time job and side hustle both revolve around social media. When I use my down time on social media, I'm essentially spending every waking hour of the day looking at content that can be very toxic to the mind. At this point, I don't plan on setting any specific time goals of how long I can be on my phone per day, etc., I just want to make a conscious effort to stop scrolling through social media as much and do other things like work on my blog or watch a movie/TV when I have free time. During my commutes, I would love to start listening to podcast to pass the time, so feel free to send podcast recommendations my way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Progress on <a href="http://www.classy-kate.com/2018/01/my-2018-new-year-resolutions.html">last year's resolutions</a></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy to say that I have done SUCH a great job of cooking more often and eating out less. Before 2018, I literally never cooked for myself unless it was pasta. Now, (with the exception of buying lunch during work days) I cook almost every single meal. I'm not saying I'm following complex recipes or creating culinary masterpieces, but I have had fun finding new healthy go-to recipes or even just finding good Trader Joe's frozen meals to heat up when I'm feeling lazy. I genuinely feel like I've saved SO much money from doing this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another resolution that I followed through on fantastically is dressing for myself (read my <a href="http://www.classy-kate.com/2018/01/my-2018-new-year-resolutions.html">2018 resolutions post</a> if you want more of an explanation on this). I don't try to force things and I only buy pieces/wear outfits that I genuinely like. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other two resolutions are a bit more abstract and harder to measure. I really do think I've done a better job of prioritizing my relationships and treating them like the most important thing in my life. I think I've been great about showing my friends I care about them and I've been a lot less selfish this year. On the other hand, I've done an awful job of accomplishing the final resolution - not comparing myself to others. This has always been one of my biggest weaknesses and continues to be. I think spending less time on social media this coming year will help immensely. </div>

Wow it's been almost a while since I've made one of these! You know, I take photos of the food at every single restaurant I go to SOLELY for the purpose of this blog series. With that being said, I've built up quite a dense camera roll in the past half year and narrowed the food photo selections down to the very best for this post. </div>

<a href="https://www.sundayinbrooklyn.com/">Sunday in Brooklyn</a> is also very Instagrammable. If Urban Outfitters created a restaurant, this would be it. I was really impressed with the food too. Aside from the delicious malted pancakes, the brunch menu was rather healthy. Also pictured is the avocado toast and cheddar scramble. I plan on coming back to experience the dinner menu soon. </div>

I honestly debated putting this restaurant in because the photo I have just doesn't sell it. I decided I HAD to include it because this place is just so good. <a href="https://www.lilfrankies.com/">Lil Frankie's</a> is a spot in the East Village that has no pretty atmosphere, just really incredible italian food. While this photo doesn't look like anything special, it features the Spaghetti Limone entrée, which is one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. </div>

I'm really honored to have this southern spot in my hood, the Upper West Side. Upon arrival, you can tell how popular and famous this restaurant is based on how packed it is and the long wait. However, every second of the wait will be worth it when you taste how incredible the food is. I've been to <a href="http://jacobs.picklehospitality.com/">Jacob's Pickles</a> twice now (would come back more often if calories weren't a thing) and ordered the Chicken and Pancakes and then the Chicken Bacon, Egg & Cheese. Both times I had the fried pickles as an app since this is something the restaurant is famous for. </div>

You may have heard of this one already because it's a super popular brunch spot among millennials. <a href="https://www.thebutchersdaughter.com/">The Butcher's Daughter</a> has two locations downtown and they are quaint/cute and serve delicious food.

This is a great spot to go if you are looking to experience an NYC rooftop. If you ask to sit outside, you will have a great view of the Empire State Building! You can still sit "outside" in the cold months because they cover the outside with a transparent tent that preserves the great view. I went to <a href="https://www.refineryhotelnewyork.com/dine-and-drink/refinery-rooftop/">Refinery Rooftop Bar</a> for a work lunch and opted for a Kale salad with salmon added on. </div>

I'm pretty sure I go plaid overboard during the holidays. I want to wear it every day and want to buy every plaid thing I see. I rented this S/MEO plaid coat from Rent the Runway and am absolutely obsessed with it. I really wanted to purchase it to keep, but I ended up deciding against it because it wasn't heavy enough to be practical for NYC winters. If I lived back at home in Atlanta, though, I would buy this coat in a heartbeat. It's selling out quickly, so if you're interested, I'd purchase now. I linked it down below but <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dc4wyqb5yi7">Lord & Taylor</a> is also selling it in case you can't find your size from the other link. </div>

If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably heard me talk a LOT about <a href="https://www.renttherunway.com/">Rent The Runway's </a>rental subscription services. While they are giving me a complimentary subscription in exchange for some Instagram promotion, I wanted to talk about it on here because I genuinely LOVE it and think it is a great idea. I love designer pieces but definitely cannot afford to add many to my wardrobe, which is why I love RTR's subscription program since you can pay an affordable price to rent new pieces monthly. They have an 'Unlimited' version, where you can rent an unlimited amount of pieces (4 at a time) per month and 'Update', which gives you 4 pieces for the whole month for a lower price. I think one of the best, yet least known benefits of RTR's subscription program is that you can buy the pieces you rent if you love them for a ridiculously amazing discount. Sometimes the discount is up to 70% off! For instance, I rented a $278 retail Joie sweater this month and could purchase it from RTR for only $83. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the photos below, I'm wearing one of my RTR pieces for the month - a gorgeous Rebecca Minkoff dress. I have been kind of scared of midi dresses in the past, but I used RTR to test them out since I don't have to keep it. I fell in love with this one! I'm on the fence about purchasing it from RTR for a 44% discount... I'll let y'all know if I decide to keep or not! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also have an amazing discount to offer you - get 40% off your first month of RTR's Unlimited subscription with the code KATECAMPUSINFL40</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sadly, I cannot find the dress anywhere outside of Rent the Runway, however <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dbni38b5yi7">here</a> is a similar, adorable dress from Rebecca Minkoff that features the same print! Other outfit details are listed below. </div>

This was definitely my idea of the perfect fall day in NYC. I started out this fine Sunday meeting up with two of my fellow NYC bloggers <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lifestylesbylauren/">@lifestylesbylauren</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/carolinestfrancis/">@carolinestfrancis</a> at Brunch spot called <a href="https://www.thebutchersdaughter.com/">The Butcher's Daughter</a> (don't worry, I'll definitely be sharing photos of my meal in my next 'Restaurant Diaries'). After brunch we walked around the West Village and the weather was absolutely PERFECT. You know that super rare weather where it's cold enough to wear a sweater but warm enough to wear a skirt? Yeah, that weather. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't get enough of this skirt I picked up from work from Brooks Brothers' younger line, Red Fleece. This line is more affordable and modern, but it has as similar quality and craftsmanship to traditional Brooks Brothers. What I love is that it is long/appropriate enough to wear to a corporate job, but you can also fold in the top by one or a couple of inches to make it a tad shorter for out of office activities (which is what I did in these photos). You may have noticed that I wore this sweater on my blog before but in a different color! That's because it is so amazing that, yes, I bought it in two colors. I think the puffy sleeves add such a unique touch, yet it is comfy and simple enough to wear in so many different ways. Below, I linked it in the maroon color but <a href="https://rstyle.me/n/dbngw9b5yi7">here is a link</a> to the same sweater from a different retailer that has a bunch more colors and sizes available! Side note: I recommend sizing 1-2 sizes down in the sweater - it runs really big! I usually am a small-medium but purchased an extra-small. </div>

I think this adorable fall outfit speaks for itself, but I just wanted to rave about the awesome restaurant I went to post-shooting on this day! This spot in the West Village is called <a href="https://www.oldrosenyc.com/">Old Rose</a> and is located within the Jane Hotel. Definitely a gorgeous spot, but the food was equally amazing. You won't regret ordering the breakfast pizza (served all day). </div>

This is my first post on the blog since September. There are no good excuses, but I guess my heart just isn't in it at the moment. It is true that I have been spread extremely thin over this semester. Between school, having a 3-day-per-week internship that comes with the responsibilities of a full-time career and focusing a lot on my personal life (relationships/self care), I just haven't had a lot of time to focus on blogging. I have been posting somewhat often on my Instagram because photography and styling outfits is something that comes super easy to me and I've been able to work blog shoots into my busy schedule every now and then. You may have noticed, though, that I haven't been posting nearly as much on my Instagram stories. In my experience, blog content and Instagram stories involve more meaningful content and that type of content involves a lot of heart and passion. These are just two things I just don't have for blogging at the moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I'm hoping - Once I graduate in December and only have a job to focus on, rather than both school and work, I will be able to put more attention and energy outside of my 9-5 schedule on my blog. Right now, I have the 9-5 schedule and then I go home and have to do homework at night. You can probably see how I have little to no energy or time to create content for my blog! I actually started a list of blog post ideas that I've been slowly adding to (including a room/apartment tour!) so that I have ideas ready to go when I have time on my hands after graduation. </div>

In my mind, this is the perfect fall outfit. Everything I'm wearing is super comfortable AND cute and the colors are perfectly seasonal. These culotte pants are an affordable and favorite new addition to my wardrobe because they are beyond comfortable, while still looking professional. If you work in a business casual environment, I'd highly recommend this sweater too! I've been obsessed with bright, color blocked sweaters (they seem to be a huge trend) so far this fall and I think the color combo on this one is absolute perfection. It runs SUPER big, though. I'm usually a small or medium but I got an xx-small in this sweater! </div>

I started blogging years ago for no reason other than that I was desperately seeking a creative outlet. As I started to grow a modest following, I realized blogging allowed me to connect with other creative individuals, make a bit of extra money and surprisingly added a lot to my resume. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A bit of background - I'm a senior at The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC and I major in Advertising, Marketing & Communications. FIT alone can afford a student major connections in the fashion industry (through professors, peers, clubs, etc.). I have many friends and acquaintances at FIT that have successfully gained valuable/competitive internships solely through these types of connections. And as many people say, connections are arguably the most vital part of "making it" in the fashion industry. While FIT has definitely helped me leverage connections in some ways, I owe a lot of my connections, opportunities and experiences to blogging.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Me at an event for my internship at B Floral.</i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure of the best way to structure this post so I'm going to talk about my college job experiences in chronological order to show y'all how both blogging and FIT have helped me land internships. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sophomore year</i> - The summer before Sophomore year, I started searching for a credited internship to do part-time during the fall semester. I was assigned a counselor at the FIT Career & Internship Center. Essentially, I searched the FIT job/internship online database for internships I was interested in and my professor would give me an HR email address at those companies to send my cover letter/resume to. I got several interviews and I attribute all of those to the fact that I was able to email HR directly instead of submitting my resume, like thousands of other people, to those online postings on indeed.com, freefashioninternships.com, etc. However, once I got the interviews, what on earth do I talk about in them? I'd never had an internship before and barely had any relevant experience on my resume - except blogging. While it wasn't a professional experience by any means, <b>blogging gave me something to talk about in my interviews when I had nothing else on my resume. </b>It gave tangible evidence of my creativity (almost acting as a portfolio) and showed my passion for the fashion industry. I ended up accepting a marketing/PR internship position at the luxury interior decor brand, Jonathan Adler. During the interview with my supervisor, he expressed great interest in the fact that I have a blog and I swear that's what swayed him to offer me the position. In other words, FIT got me the interview and my blog got me the job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Junior year</i> - The summer before Junior year, I interned at the fashion brand, Cami NYC. I owe this experience to a connection I made both through FIT and blogging. This friend of mine is a fellow FIT student, but I never came into contact with her until she started blogging. She previously had interned at Cami and gave me the email of her supervisor to apply for a summer marketing internship. Although I had one internship experience under my belt at this point, a large portion of what I talked about in the interview was my skills and experiences I had gained through blogging and why they would be relevant to the position. I believe I was given this internship because of both my connection at the company and my blogging experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fall of my junior year, I took a break from interning and focused on my blog and freelance social media management. During this time, though, I was searching and interviewing for internships for the spring. I ended up taking a marketing and events internship at a event design company called B Floral. I actually don't owe any connection for this internship. I found the listing for it on Indeed.com and applied through their resume submission form. I want to note that throughout college, I've applied to dozens and dozens of internships through these websites and have gotten maybe 5 replies in total (which is incredibly disheartening). I say this to emphasize how important connections are in landing interviews. During my interview with B Floral, they expressed great interest in my blog and I believe that it was largely what got me the job. There were a few other contenders, though, for a Spring internship. One was a very well known accessories company.<b> I landed this interview because I went to a fall collection preview at their headquarters through my blog and emailed the woman I met, afterward, expressing interest in a Spring internship. The other contender was a PR company that was present at an event I went to through blogging. </b>I wrote to the email address on the business card asking if they were looking for Spring interns and got an interview with them. I ended up politely declining this internship because it was unpaid. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Senior year</i> - The summer before my senior year (aka this summer) I landed what ended up being my dream internship at Brooks Brothers and I owe this entirely to my blog. One of my good blogging friends had worked with Brooks Brothers to promote their apparel and she gave me the email address of my now co-worker, Eric. I emailed Eric my cover letter and resume and started corresponding with him about a potential internship. Between this time and interviewing, Brooks actually sent me clothes to shoot and promote on my blog and they were very pleased with the content. I believe the content I created for them made them want to hire me even more. Towards the end of the spring, I interviewed with HR and then my current boss, the Director of Social Media. Shortly after, they offered me a position as a Social Media Intern. Around the same time, I actually landed an interview for another fashion brand that I was connected with through a blogging acquaintance that worked there. <b>I reached out to this connection through Instagram and she was kind enough to put me in touch with the HR department. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so happy to say that Brooks Brothers has graciously extended my position into the fall. I am graduating December of this year so Brooks Brothers will be my last internship! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what happens once I've obtained the internship and start the job? I strongly believe that blogging alone is not enough to find success within a fashion marketing job. It is a combination of the skills/knowledge I've acquired through blogging, past professional experiences and knowledge I've learned through courses at FIT that has helped me in marketing/fashion corporate jobs. Each marketing role within each company is unique and requires a different skillset. A lot of knowledge can only be learned through on-the-job training and experience. Blogging has certainly been helpful, though, and if you'd like to hear more about how in a separate post, let me know! </div>

It's Victory Cup season! For those of you who don't know, Victory Cup is a polo match that I go to every year (a tradition that started as of only last year haha) with a bunch of my social media friends. There are two - one in July and one in August. Both are a blast, but I actually prefer the first one, which takes place in upstate New York. It's a bit more laid back and intimate and if you know me, you know I prefer that type of scene (even though it probably doesn't look like that over social media). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the occasion, I repped my company, Brooks Brothers', clothing. These pieces are specifically from our line called <a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Red-Fleece/red-fleece,default,sc.html">Red Fleece</a> that is geared towards a younger audience and falls into a more affordable price range (think J.Crew). I always love promoting Red Fleece as it makes the amazing product of Brooks Brothers accessible to more people. </div>

A few weeks ago, I ventured out to the Hamptons for the second time this summer. I wasn't planning on going again, but the sweet folks at Kendra Scott invited me to their Montauk pop-up shop and I couldn't resist attending. I was especially happy that the event was held at Gurney's Resort – it's a picturesque location that creates an amazing backdrop for photos. My pal, Joe, was nice enough to drive me out and be my photographer. </div>

Kendra Scott gifted me a gorgeous necklace that you'll see styled below in this post. I paired it with this adorable midi dress and brown sandals to keep the look simple. I have a phobia of midi and maxi dresses (as I've mentioned before in previous posts) so the casual fabric and neutral colors of this one make it low-key enough for me to feel comfortable in. </div>

One thing I love about New England? Hydrangeas, hydrangeas, hydrangeas everywhere. I don't know if the Hamptons can technically be called part of New England, but they definitely scream New England in their scenery and landscape. During my little day trip out east the other weekend, we stopped in Amagansett, which was bursting with hydrangeas. The town made the perfect backdrop for this casual and comfy outfit that I'm obsessed with. </div>

You guys NEED these pants in your life. I've been looking for a pair of olive green cargo-esque pants for years now and never found any that I thought looked flattering on me. These have the perfect cut and fit so I practically threw my cash at the sales associate. I feel like I've been talking about a new pair of pants I love in every single blog post lately, but I think it's such a special occasion when you find a piece that's perfect for both work and play. </div>
