This all-black look is one of my go-to’s for hearings. It feels VERY chic and powerful, and reminds me of that Fallout Boy song - “I’ll stop wearing black when they make a darker color!” For my law school ladies, I rely heavily on Ann Taylor for my business attire. Their sizes are a bit wonky, but the clothes look nice and are almost always on sale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1645985575881-HF3HXVGHJBN6VVA936EO/friday3.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - The ‘Fits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1645912209618-YIK7NUGKRWZ80QTC8DMF/friday1.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - The ‘Fits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1645912209501-O9NS0PWSK159BGVDVTQC/friday2.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - The ‘Fits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1645911572738-FVIIOZQC3JQKBR2445PU/saturday2.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - The ‘Fits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1645915029701-LUHQOVSFVKIHEY0VOUZG/saturday1.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - The ‘Fits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/d5eeb1a1-1ed7-4b58-b2d3-92ff7688c658/accessories3.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - The ‘Fits - My Influencer Inspirations have absolutely convinced me of the power of accessories. I’m a big fan of “keeping it simple,” but legitimately don’t feel an outfit is complete without at least earrings + a clip/hat/sunnies. The items listed below are my go-to’s right now.

Nespresso Maker. This was a Christmas gift from my amazing in-laws and I can’t express how much I love it. Yes, it’s basically a fancier Keurig, but there’s something super satisfying about the foam on top. Chef’s kiss w/no effort. Trader Joe’s Biscotti. Both the chocolate and vanilla versions, my goodness. A few of these with a nice cup of flavored espresso…it’s a great start to even the coldest/bleakest/longest of days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/89f6348e-29a3-4688-bc40-85cd9489d287/scs7.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - The Essentials - Greenery. My Monstera plant is seriously my pride and joy!!! It’s nice to have some greenery in the house (both alive and dried); looks fresh with the ole wood floors and neutral furniture. Side note - as much as I love my Monstera, I have no idea what I’m doing with her…hit me up with any advice! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/b66504db-982c-4211-b151-d9ffdb969e94/scs3.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - The Essentials - Hear me out - Ugg boots are officially back in fashion (!!!!!) but they’ve never been out where I’m concerned. When I was in high school and all the cool girls wore Uggs, my parents *refused* to let me participate. It was devastating. Not only was I very uncool to begin with, but I also lacked genuine Australian sheep’s wool to fill the void. https://www.rileyv.com/legallyblondeaf-blog/self-care-sunday-skincare monthly 0.5 2022-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/66c2bfdd-6884-4a0c-a17f-c35b2e679e79/skincare1.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - Skincare - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1644091114425-YTVVYW4AV0QFXNO399JG/skincare6.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - Skincare https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1644091153547-16Y4JJPLGCAZFU7JXHOV/skincare7.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - Skincare https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1644091114389-DXHOZ47ITYPIS0QC0Y7R/skincare5.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - Skincare https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/270f72a3-6d95-44f1-9478-0b7835a46093/skincare9.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - Skincare - Once every few months, I also do go a professional for dermaplaning; she takes a literal scalpel to my face and gets off all the fuzz, surface dirt, clogged pores, etc. I am genuinely obsessed with this procedure - my skin looks clearer, moisturizer goes on easier, and is crazy smooth for a while. Next up for my skincare regimen: adding in a lowwwwww low level of retinol. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/681373a5-51d1-48ab-9d8b-899e26941564/skincare4.jpg Blog Posts - Self-Care Sunday - Skincare - In a nutshell, my hair was incredibly dry but the roots felt greasy right after washing (how???), fell out like crazy, and looked frizzy and gross 90% of the time. I just kind of ignored it because I thought I just had crappy hair; like my face, it took a professional to come through and show me otherwise. When I expressed my concerns to my hair dresser, she gave me the BEST recommendations. All those concerns have been drastically reduced (if not eliminated) and I’ve never been so consistently “okay” with my hair on the daily. https://www.rileyv.com/legallyblondeaf-blog/justice-breyers-retirement monthly 0.5 2022-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/025c6396-c5ae-4b65-bfd9-008deed3142a/Justice_Breyer.jpeg Blog Posts - Justice Breyer’s Retirement - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1e2b07d3-12e5-40ed-8c39-524033946a22/justice_breyer2.jpg Blog Posts - Justice Breyer’s Retirement - “Judge” Breyer officially became “Justice” Breyer on August 3, 1994.

Halloween Through the Years - TINKERBELL circa 1999, 5 yrs old Ft. my younger brother as Captain Hook.

As you’ll see, Harry Potter characters were a Halloween STAPLE for the Vann family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1635686299413-31XCVFJCGLLADE24VTVJ/c2.jpg Blog Posts - Halloween Through the Years - HERMIONE GRANGER MID-POLYJUICE TRANSFORMATION circa 2002, 8 yrs old This costume is an All-Timer. I mean, it’s the epitome of my mom’s mantra that we needed to be creative on Halloween. It’s not enough to just be Hermione, let’s add tail & some fur to the picture! *Additionally, a costume incorporating full arms & leg coverage is a sure sign that you’re a Midwest Child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1635729951259-KO8AN4QW7BT33D26VNBB/c5a.jpg Blog Posts - Halloween Through the Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1635686605993-67K1H3F7J55PKOBL9WO0/c5b.jpg Blog Posts - Halloween Through the Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1635730189158-H19G1TXYLOV5A32TPEK4/c3.jpg Blog Posts - Halloween Through the Years - MASQUERADE BALL DANCER circa 2004, 10 yrs old Like Medusa, this costume came as a DIRECT result of seeing Phantom of the Opera during the summer of 2004 - in London, no less.

The game is simple - maintain a steady walking pace of four miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings, and you're out - permanently.” - stephenking.com Starting strong with the master of horror himself! I love everything from Stephen King and The Long Walk is one of my favorites. The premise is simple (especially compared to some of his latest work) but it’s captivating and terrifying in the way that only King can achieve. Plus, he’s from Maine - east coast love! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/cf3fb1c2-8506-4ffc-8b1a-c86863f67427/biglittlelies.jpg Blog Posts - Spooky Reads for Halloween - “Sometimes it’s the little lies that turn out to be the most lethal. . . . A murder… . . . a tragic accident… . . . or just parents behaving badly? What’s indisputable is that someone is dead. But who did what? Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.” - Book Outlet Okay, this is not necessarily a “scary story” - but it is suspenseful and murder-y! Big Little Lies recently made its way to the screen in the form of a killer tv show with alllllll the big Hollywood actresses. It was a relatively quick read and sucked me in from page 1. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/8c9b34af-1653-4798-936c-0d530162d8be/devilinthewhitecity.jpg Blog Posts - Spooky Reads for Halloween - “Author Erik Larson imbues the incredible events surrounding the 1893 Chicago World's Fair with such drama that readers may find themselves checking the book's categorization to be sure that 'The Devil in the White City' is not, in fact, a highly imaginative novel. Larson tells the stories of two men: Daniel H. Burnham, the architect responsible for the fair's construction, and H.H. Holmes, a serial killer masquerading as a charming doctor.” - Good Reads The Devil in the White City is slightly less dramatic than you’d expect for a serial killer story. But it IS non-fiction, and the combination of H.H. Holmes + Chicago’s biggest event just can’t be beat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/bc6a8239-41cb-4d1a-a106-008388b67375/Devolution.jfif Blog Posts - Spooky Reads for Halloween - “As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now. But the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing—and too earth-shattering in its implications—to be forgotten.” - Penguin Random House Devolution is a Bigfoot fiction (I don’t think that’s a spoiler since it’s on the book jacket) but it reads like non-fiction and it is SOOOOOOO good. Fair warning though, it’s a bit gruesome. And if you pick this up, give it a few chapters; I found the narrator very whiny at first but the book quickly drew me in. Max Brooks also wrote World War Z, which was adapted into a film by the same name starring Brad Pitt. Highly recommend that one as well! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/f1f1c2ee-3c78-4b7b-b106-41757d6f22ea/DarkMatter.jpg Blog Posts - Spooky Reads for Halloween - “From the author of the bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy, Dark Matter is a brilliantly plotted tale that is at once sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human—a relentlessly surprising science-fiction thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we'll go to claim the lives we dream of.” - blakecrouch.com Dark Matter comes highly recommended by this post’s inspiration, my mother! Although I haven’t read it myself, it’s on the to-read list (Dianna’s recs are generally spot on). I don’t generally consider myself a sci-fi gal, but The Martian and Ready Player One recently made me re-consider that conclusion. If you read this let me know what you think! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/9c9f1754-78b9-4058-a01c-cb991598c6d2/OneSecondAfter.jfif Blog Posts - Spooky Reads for Halloween - “New York Times best selling author William R. Forstchen now brings us a story which can be all too terrifyingly real...a story in which one man struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina town after America loses a war, in one second, a war that will send America back to the Dark Ages...A war based upon a weapon, an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP).” This book is technically fiction, but it considers a very real scenario: what happens to us after a terrorist attack utilizing electromagnetic pulse weapons. AKA, the ones that take out all of our electronics. It’s very well-written and definitely an eye opener for anyone interested in defense! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/7c908c11-2ebd-4230-aa83-7793686bd3a3/GoneGirl.jpg Blog Posts - Spooky Reads for Halloween - “One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times bestseller Gillian Flynn takes that statement to its darkest place in this unputdownable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. Gone Girl’s toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.” - Good Reads I actually watched Gone Girl in theatres, back in 2014, before I read Gillian Flynn’s book. Sometimes a novel can’t hang in that scenario, but not this gem. Whether you go the book or the movie route (starring Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, and Neil Patrick Harris), Gone Girl is a total winner. So is Sharp Objects, another Gillian Flynn hit! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/717e9236-81eb-4670-a26b-8c56f7d74c26/The+Road.jpg Blog Posts - Spooky Reads for Halloween - “A searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food--and each other.” Ending this list with a true classic: The Road is in my Top 10 Books of All Time. As the description says, it’s more of an “end-of-the-world” book than a “scary story.” But in MY book, it’s a must-read. I discovered recently that The Road is also a movie, starring Aragorn (aka Viggo Mortensen) but I can only vouch for McCarthy’s incredible book. https://www.rileyv.com/legallyblondeaf-blog/law-school-essential-items monthly 0.5 2021-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1633965631095-ZSW9XG5IJVRQ8T7C6YIS/10things6.png Blog Posts - Law School Essentials - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1633964649600-U67EVSM8S5IMF038103V/10things2.jpg Blog Posts - Law School Essentials - 3.

When you first walk in, it kinda looks like you’re headed to an Equinox - even when we reached the fourth floor, half of me wondered if we’d be eating in the gym’s food court. But if you turn left instead of right, you’ll be seated in front of HUGE floor-to-ceiling windows with a fantastic view of the street, the Paramount, and some verrrrrrrry pricey apartments. Apart from the view, Blu’s food is incredible AND pretty reasonably priced! Ben took me here on my birthday and it’s been a great dinner option ever since. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627232189505-Y6HCH771W70DZRE8JU27/summer21z.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627225881751-OZX082UWKFRVBXVNQT19/summer21g.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA - BEST pastries on the entire Cape. Eat Cake for Breakfast is the CUTEST bakery ever, featuring a fantastic assortment of goodies. This is a “must eat” destination whenever we head to the Cape - as you can see by the balloons, our last trip was on the Fourth of July. It’s a bit out of the way but totally worth it! My personal favorites? The pistachio chocolate croissant, chocolate mousse, and fruit tart. But I doubt you could go wrong with anything from Eat Cake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627234151408-O97LOEK0UCIQU5GEJK13/summer21ae.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA - I’ve only been here once (on my way to #8 on this list) but it was FABULOUS. I’ve never had Vietnamese coffee before and safe to say, it’s my new favorite! This little coffee shop had cute indoor and outdoor seating and the nicest staff ever; plus, the crepes were to-die for. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but I need to go back to try the banh mi and rice bowls. The internet says they’re just as good as the crepes! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627229571437-DR7IOXHNF4PFD67ZMV80/summer21u.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627229571450-ZE8V9PT1CLFL7KDV1AN8/summer21t.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627229585425-7GPMUB8P3PLCIK7UU6OH/summer21n.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627224193022-QH5076QOYDCI5OIQ3904/summer21r.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627224192774-JE79XZTDHV86QZJTSSGD/summer21q.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627224180235-2ZF08Z8B9X34H7UZ265G/summer21m.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627224286875-AJFENOU3QHBRQ7MUJPZI/summer21s.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627234786354-D3JXR5BL08DB1T2N5VJ5/summer21ah.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627234785515-T9193LFY7A7O2W7NDVTK/summer21ai.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627236014073-H54ALRHXNJGPM24RL2YX/summer21al.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627236013387-7GO17Z3UUTXXX9Q6FJY1/summer21aj.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627236013232-YN090ZUVE23LFEW8SHLV/summer21ak.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627228952685-08JOOBE3LQ6ACSFIP07R/summer21e.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1627229134031-U96QWGYA3DBPEC8DC33C/summer21v.jpg Blog Posts - Summer in MA https://www.rileyv.com/legallyblondeaf-blog/funded-legal-education-program monthly 0.5 2023-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1626014207741-G3N454EWSWHRBBTBG7CU/FLEP.jpg Blog Posts - Funded Legal Education Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rileyv.com/legallyblondeaf-blog/mpre-the-bar-pt-1 monthly 0.5 2021-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1624805799282-XHG8YTC1GRUBM9G4CX2N/MPREScore_Map-1.jpg Blog Posts - MPRE: The Bar Pt I - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rileyv.com/legallyblondeaf-blog/pride-and-the-law monthly 0.5 2021-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1623593995880-7UL48FP19LXR55MQUXUD/pride1.jpg Blog Posts - Pride & the Law - 1966 The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot ❤️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1623594142021-H630QHLXEZVI9EBPJX3A/pride2.jpg Blog Posts - Pride & the Law - 1969 The Stonewall Riots https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1623594259132-REVH2EAWQN166PHISE6L/pride3.jpg Blog Posts - Pride & the Law - 1970 The First Gay Pride Parade https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1623594407182-RSS9KADIIHYHVDLO3LZY/pride4.jpg Blog Posts - Pride & the Law - 1982 Wisconsin passes the first Sexual Orientation Anti-Discrimination Bill https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1623594660836-JMMIZTPWG0BWGI48WDN5/pride5.png Blog Posts - Pride & the Law - 1996 Hawaii nixes the state’s same-sex marriage ban https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1623594767543-KX0BXEFBY9WTKX2666RE/pride6.jpg Blog Posts - Pride & the Law - 2004 First legal same-sex marriage in the United States https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1623594924737-4N8DTI8W247W5YQK8XRO/pride7.jpg Blog Posts - Pride & the Law - 2009 The Hate Crimes Prevention Act is passed ❤️ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f405b081a098716ac887de4/1623595024389-CFLXTS9Z8PZD3PM0OV1J/pride8.jpg Blog Posts - Pride & the Law - 2015 The Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v.

One Blonde’s Time at Harvard Law School. Hey I'm Riley! An older, less fun, Air Force version of Elle Woods. I graduated from Harvard Law in May 2022 and blogged for three years to document the experience. Law school wasn’t easy and you may wonder why I voluntarily added to the that stress. In the end, it boiled down to three things: 1. A PROFESSOR’S ADVICE When I attended the HLS Admitted Students Weekend in April 2019, a professor urged prospective students to write creatively outside of law school. Journaling, blogging, letter-writing, a novel (one of my friends legit published a book during 3L)…whatever you like, she said, just find it and stick with it. Looking back, I definitely get it; law school is pretty good at sucking the ‘creative’ out of ‘writing.’ This was my way of staying interesting! 2. WEEKLY SANITY CHECK Quite simply, I started and maintained this blog because I wanted to. During undergrad I majored in English because I love to read and view essay writing as a fun little puzzle. I took (and loved) a creative writing course during my senior year, so I knew I'd enjoy vomiting my experiences onto this site. It truly was a therapeutic and creative outlet. 3. ELLE INSPIRED Finally, I attribute this blog to YOU! Before starting school, I had so many people say "you're the real life Elle Woods!" that I kinda started to buy it. Elle is the It Girl of my generation (right up there with Regina George, Britney Spears, and Beyonce) and I am beyond flattered to be associated with her. Plus, I always wondered about the realism of Legally Blonde so I figured I’d answer for other Elle & Bruiser Woods fans. Bottom line, I tried to talk about my life at Harvard Law in this blog - particularly what it’s like to be a female servicemember in this unique position. Even though the new content has ended, I'm still here for advice, observation, funny stories, lame stories, and the realities of being a student-slash-military-officer through a once-in-a-lifetime-program. I tried to keep this real but fun, and hopefully it's something you guys enjoy! https://www.rileyv.com/legally-blonde-af-home daily 1.0 2023-01-29
