EDGE

I always have such a hard time when someone asks me to describe my style. I like to think I dabble in a lot of different styles. You know, whatever strikes my mood that day. One day I might be in a pretty lithe floral dress with girly pink pumps, and the next I’m pairing some leopard print with spiked heels and pretending I’m really edgy. Obviously, this day I was feeling the latter.

SNAPSHOTS: VEGAS, BABY

Ok, so, I had never been to Vegas before. But I love NYC with all the lights and craziness, so I figured - how different could Vegas be? Right? Um, yeah. Personally, I think Vegas is like NYC on steroids. And maybe it was just because we just spent a week out in the quiet desert, but Vegas was a bit overwhelming when we first arrived. So many people. So much going on. But we warmed up to it after a while. We walked the strip, stuffed our faces, tried our hand at some slots (no such luck), had muuuuultiple frozen hot chocolates at Serendipity, and saw a Cirque Du Soleil show. It was actually a lot of fun!

p.s - this is the last of our trip photos. Phew, we made it through!

BARE ARMS

Man, are we still on road trip photos? I swear we’re almost done! We finished off the trip with a whole day and a half in Vegas. And this is what I wore to galavant around the city. It was so sunny and warm, bare arms never felt so good. 

More on Vegas tomorrow!

BIRTHDAY WISHLIST

————————————————————— 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 —————————————————————

My birthday is coming up next week! Here’s a few things I am currently lusting after (especially that Fossil bag and watch!). You all know I love a good wish list :), and my birthday wish lists are always my favorite because its that time of year when I’m really craving warm weather items so hard. Spring and summer, I’m ready for you!

STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT

Boo is a star guy. Well, he’s a space guy. He’s always pointing out constellations and star names and planets to me. And I’ve shown you some of his moon photos before (1, 2), but while we on our trip he dabbled in a little star photography. We still have a lot of learning to do (a bore stable tripod and better lenses would probably help, too), but I still adore how these came out. You don’t get views like this near the city.

BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE

You guys, I started working at LOFT (prudential center. come visit me!) last week, and I’ve already made a few purchases with my discount. These pants came first. But can you blame me?! I think they’re so fantastic. And comfy. And a little crazy. Obviously, that is the perfect combo. 

P.S - they don’t seem to be available online, but you should check out your local LOFT!

ALL-AMERICAN ROAD TRIP: ARCHES

I don’t know why I’m going so out of order with all of these, but I am. So before Bryce and Zion, we spent a day and a half at Arches. We actually got  up waaaay before sunrise to start our hike to Delicate Arch. In the dark. Now, I am already the least steady person on my feet. I’m clumsy. And I have no balance. So stumbling around in the dark on a rocky trail may have been one of my worst nightmares. But it was good we got started so early, because we were able to see a whole lot more of the park. Landscape Arch was one of my favorites!
