take off

So....I'm offially going to Hollywood! Our newspaper staff at the Uni is attending the National Associated College Press Convention thang this weekend over in Tinseltown.  But...I have to admit, I've never been on a plane.  Eeep! Packing? Getting 4 days of outfits in a bag? I've always been terrible at narrowing down the options in order to FIT them into the luggage.  Any tips, tricks, or advice??  I'm going to have to strategize in order to get that beastie of a suitcase in my mini-car. :))

Here's some inspiration that I'm digging right now....especially everything MKA. I'm in love with their layering, especially how they always seem to add a flawless "beachy-city-cool" to whatever they wear...love love love it.

Saw that Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler movie last night...seriously made me want to go to Hawaii, like, pronto! These pictures crack me up; Nick was walking around me, snapping photos like a combinaton paparazzi/stalker guy. But then he bought me a GO GIRL pink energy drink, and all goofy staker-ness was forgotton.

I haven't tasted the GO GIRL yet...but doesn't it sound divine?

Just a quick post of some pre-benefit dance photos...hope everyone is having an amazing weekend! A three-day affair for the students, and we SO need it!  I'm looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast; me, large cup of coffee, and unlimited sites devoted to NY fashion week. Haven't been able to stay above the surface when it come to the runway....or what Anna Dello Russo wore...:))))

xoxoxoxo...I'm off to a friend's b-day party....pictures to come!

3) Monogram Résille studs

There's something incredibly ironic about wishing winter were over; literally praying for the sun to immediately and painfully wipe out any evidence of the snow on the ground, but then feeling kind of sad when it's gone,  - just because it's gone so fast.

But MAN! Am I excited to wear open toed shoes again, or what!?

It will be great....Steve Madden open-toed ruffle platforms, meet you're new best friend.

Oh yes...and gauzy layers....yum.

My creme wool fedora....exciting.

Kinda-loose-but-still-butt-flattering jeans and brown leather platforms....hell yes.

Getting a tan and carrying iced coffees and using a hill instead of a treadmill and watching baseball games and hosting bbq's and possibly piercing my nose...all better left in the spring.

Quick post to make up for my LAME lack of posting all week.
Here's a smathering of what's been keeping me alive all week....Forever 21 sunnies - Hiding the dark circles...My journal and notepad, decked out with cartoon aortas and livers and kidneys - Keeping the To-Do lists and schedule straight...Maybelline Fit Me! foundation in 115 - Hiding the dark circles, again...oh yeah, and Starbucks...a quad americano....mmmm.

It's been an insane week. I'm so glad mid-terms are over.  I'll be back to creating full and proper-ish sentences. As proper as I get when it comes to the sentance-making.
