Had another typical night out with the girls, this time at a bar downtown. It was a well needed relaxing night out compared to some previous crazy nights this weekend.

I'm considering bleaching this skirt. . . I saw an adorable light washed denim one from UO that I'm going to attempt to mock (below). Will post it shortly!

My friend Lissa had a barbecue in remembrance of the late, great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The food was amazing, and the conversation was inspiring. I'm so grateful for good food and great company.

I went mechanical bull riding over the weekend and I didn't last longer than 30 seconds but it was entertaining nonetheless. I hope everyone had as good a weekend as I did!

My first day back was filled with hugs and "how was your break?" The bitter sweet feeling of graduation being so close yet so far away is just that-bitter sweet. Instead of dwelling I'll try to enjoy it while it lasts. Happy weekend everyone!

I had to live it up for my last few nights in the city, considering I'll be deprived from it for the next few months while back at school. I love cold crazy nights out on the town with fun friends (and I'm pretty sure I just created my own tongue twister). Oh how I'll miss the city, though I'm looking forward to my last semester...more

What better way to bring in such an important year than with great company and a champagne toast? I can't wait to see what great things come from 2010, Happy New Year everyone!
