i am in love. for quite some time now, I have been dreaming of a sweater/coat thing such as this. for example, as mentioned in posts 1 and posts 2. Clearly, i haven't gotten over it. I tried this delight on in the store, and will now patiently wait for it to go on sale just a tad. If it doesn't, i don't care, i'll get it anyway, because my prayers have been answered. And yea, it's so soft.

ye olde meadow, me.

i'm gonna miss the summer

So I recently went a little crazy with the makeup purchases, but boy are they worth it. After a life-long quest to find the perfect skin, I think I honestly found the answer in the Nars makeup primer and sheer glow foundation. My skin has never had the appearance of having zero makeup on before, and i'm in love. Of course, Lancome drama hypnose, chanel eyeshadow quad and ye olde standby Orgasm blush. This has also lead to the furthering of my unhealthy youtube makeup tutorial addiction. Honestly, they are awesome.

I would pay good money to be this fuckin' girl any day of the week. right on.

The PERFECT summer shirt dress: http://www.pixiemarket.com/store/dustyroselaceblousefontsize3bsoldoutfontb-p-1667.html --- Which happens to be sold out.

I have been lusting after this for a long time online, and have held off on buying it for obvious reasons (being, it really is just a shirt). However, after a long browse of the closet looking for the perfect june outfit (i.e. sheer, white, and flowy), i realized my epic mistake. At least now i can prepare myself for future shopping excursions.

Ok, so i've never given much thought to what Kate Bosworth wears, but these days she is looking so dam cute! Nevermind the photos i have seen recently of her hugging her super hot boyfriend (who apparently is on true blood. maybe i should start watching...)

So let's take a moment to admire her look. She's got the white lace, crochet, cute little ankle boots and of course cut-offs. I'm not even going to begin on how much i envy her perfect blonde hair. Way to rock, girl

so instead of studying for my exam (which begins in exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes), i decided to post on mac's tinted lipglass in cultured, which i bought a few weeks ago. It has really lifted my mood, and has held up even after i got a little tan last week. regardless, i have been pondering life's little pleasures (rainy afternoons where you just watch entire seasons of madmen, fresh out of the dryer towels, a really good cup of coffee). these things really help sometimes. lipgloss included. 

listening to a playlist titled: it's called a breakup because its broken. (which has absolutely no baring on what is going on in my real life)

Girls gone wild

While i was tempted to post about the sweet dance party jam last night, or how glorious the new Balmain is, i'm officially on my last spring break ever as of now, and i couldn't be more excited. I remember watching mtv spring break when i was way too young to do so, and wishing i could go to the beach in the middle of march (dam you northeast!!), and now it's finally happening. While Cancun is not our destination of choice, be content that we are still heading WAY down south of here, packing up some skanky bikinis, and ready to do some jell-o shots upon arrival. Hilarity will ensue. 

who said gulttony was passe?

This is ridiculously you. I want to wear both these outfits, at the same time, just like alexa and pal.

Annddd I still smell like boys. Who needs a boyfriend when you can go out and get some sloppy nookie at your local b-side?

this is how i feel

Donna Karen. I really like this collection. It brings me back to Donna Karen circa ten years ago, when she was all about the slinky, draped dress. 

Woke up with terrible congestion, a sore throat, and a headache. Not a full blown cold, but enough to make me feel like shit. Trying to figure out how to make soup without any broth. Lentils? Maybe its time to experiment. 

via lefashion. just cuz it's cold and it's monday

yup

Here's the thing about fashion: When it's cold outside, i'm feeling sick, have a lot of work, hate the world, whatever, it tends to distract me just for a second. Look at some sick ass shoes, and think, isn't it lovely? 

social experiment

By Terry Richardson. (Who by the way has the best site ever)

Social experiment for Gender Studies: Breaking a gendered norm. My pick? Buying a guy a shot at a bar. EPIC FAIL: While M and i were contemplating who the lucky sucker would be, we were approached, and asked: Why were you looking at me, and shaking your head no? 

Will be an interesting paper to write, to say the least. 

Considering i'm putting the party clothes away for a good long while, i decided to go out with a bang last night. M, it's been a crazy week.

some pretty things to look at

dam its cold

Matthew Williamson fall 09.

Despite this terribly cold weather we are experiencing in the midwest, i must say i am all about these slouchy printed knits. Also similar to the sweater coat i still want from the jane austen book club via maria bello. 

New semester started this week. Bah humbug.
