Spring Shopping!

I am soooo ready for some Spring weather!  Last week was Spring Break which was much needed.  After visiting my sister in Charleston we headed to Jacksonville Beach and participated in the Gate River Run!  It was so much fun & my next goal is to complete a 1/2 marathon!  We'll see....  Yesterday was so icky and I'm ready for sunshine!  With so much coming up this Spring there are a few wants/needs, of course.  

So far I have found:

Fun floral dress form Urban Outfitters - on sale for $30!


Some nude pumps similar to these - inspired by Jill and Melissa in D.C.!


A Kate Spade Opus bag!!! Great deal on Gilt!


Some brown wedges from Target!  Only $20!



But I still want:

A flouncy short-sleeved floral silk dress like this one from Mod Cloth!
Grey pave crystal ball earrings...so sparkly!



A simple khaki/neutral skirt like this one from Banana



Cropped skinny pants in a neutral color



A LBD in Cobalt!  Loveee this one with the bow!

So This Is The New Year...


Woo 2010.  So far it has been filled with fun, laughter, and trying to meet my expectations and resolutions.  I have done well with a few, like having an exercise routine thanks to my workout buddy Raven and the convenience of Ramsey...and not so great with the ones like getting dressed for class 3-4 days a week-I have only managed that today; too bad sweatpants are not chic.  Anyway, for the most part I have enjoyed becoming a better student but MISSING MY ROOMMATE and understanding how it feels to live alone.  I think if I had a cat it would make it a bit more bearable, but I suppose my beta fish Newton will have to suffice for now.  Or maybe if I had a lovely white vase filled with flowers I would feel a bit more cheerful upon returning home to our apartment.  A few things to look forward to:


SPRING! I am getting so excited about spring clothes and floral prints, I love these color combinations from Vanessa Bruno's spring collection of black, greys, hot pink, tan, and mustard yellow.  It makes me want to wear my new mustard yellow skinny belt! 


GOING TO D.C. THIS WEEKEND!  To visit my long-lost roommate/BFF and see D.C. for the first time!!!  She is interning on Capitol Hill for the semester and is going to take me all around cute D.C., I can't wait!!! And Saturday we have tickets to American Ballet Theater's Romeo and Juliet!  I am so excited!  We will be going for runs by famous monuments, eating cupcakes in Georgetown, and just being cute in general, living according to her new fabulous life   : )




Wishing I had this black classic Timex watch with gold accents...perfect for everyday.  It would make getting to class on time even more fun, and possibly allow sweatpants to be chic after all?  Or not...wishful thinking!

Au revoir!

Wish List...

To add on the ongoing wish list of things I love...

This beautiful Vera Wang necklace of crystals and tulle.  It reminds me of a sugar plum fairy tutu.  I've been on the look out for a fabric-y/sparkly necklace, but there are tons of more affordable ones out there!
A soft wrap sweater - this wool one from Anthropologie looks warm but soft and I loveee the color.  I'd throw this on for layers and sneak it into ballet class : )
A fun wonderful tea set!  Just because...
Another ring on sale at Jcrew!  I love the combination of pearls, crystals and gold; this would go with everything and dress things up a bit!
Sheer black dot tights!  I've been on the look out for some like this & haven't found any.  I may just have to order these off Urban Outfitters.  They also come in pink!

A few more fun things...
Fun necklace, great price!
A few of my favorite Blair looks...
Cute gift idea!
My roommate, Jill and I!
Jill's wonderful wedding post!
Perfect puff shoes...and the bargain version!
Pretty esty rings.
Lovely pearl drop earrings.

Finals almost over, ready to get home! Yay!
