c/o 2010

Cream blazer:borrowed; blouse&polka dotted skirt: Anthropologie

While writing this post I realized I never posted pictures from my own graduation! My brother graduated from high school yesterday and will be attending UMD in the fall. As if graduating from college didn't make me feel old enough, attending my brothers made it that much more real. Congratulations Class of 2010!

All of the stress of schoolwork and the job hunt hasn't been putting me in the best of moods lately...but taking a break from the monotonous weekly habits to find an adventure usually does. I will report back on what I find!

Home Is Where the ♥ Is

I always miss my room when I'm away at school. Don't get me wrong, I love my apartment and my roommates, but there is something about home that has a certain comfort that my apartment just doesn't provide. It feels good to be with my family for the Easter weekend and I'm hoping I can get some shopping out of my parents while I'm here too. Yes, I know ulterior motives for personal gain aren't too honorable, but why not do it for the name of fashion?

It's finally getting warm out and I'll take almost any opportunity to wear my legs out. I did get a few awkward stares while walking to class today, but for all they know I'm a hot-blooded werewolf (I'm currently reading New Moon), and they never get cold!

I'm still on the search for the perfect oxfords, I found some at Steve Madden that I'm pretty much sold on but not quite 100%. What do you all think?

There was another birthday party this weekend. It's been a while since I've done a bathroom photo shoot. Fun times as always!

I wore this to my senior social last week. It was at a measly bar downtown but since I hadn't dressed up in a while I decided to go for the kill. I can't seem to get enough of horizontal stripes and blazers these days, and the tights were a nice mix of pattern. I must say though, I'm starting to get an itch for the springtime. . .the weather, the clothes, or lack there of rather ;-). Miami will definitely be a nice change of scenery, to say the least. I'll be in D.C. for the weekend, so look for pictures when I return on Sunday, happy weekend!

I'm beginning to think it's birthday season, every time I look up there's another gathering, dinner, or party. Anyway, college is all about parties I guess, so bring it on. I wore this to a small something for a friends birthday get together. I don't usually party on Tuesdays but I must say I had a good, no, great time. Happy Tuesday!

I Have A Dream

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.

Up & At 'em

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
