once the school year begins in dc, i literally countdown until it truly feels like fall. this past week that happened. the weather has shifted, sweaters are needed, i can drink pumpkin spice chai lattes, and the leaves are changing colors. the following are the few things i love about my favorite season

slowly, but surely i am putting together my fall playlist. if you’re wondering why i need a fall playlist, don’t worry i ask myself that too.. (but, it’s necessary, trust me.) i can’t wait for d.c. to get colder, have its leaves start to change, and hopefully i can acquire the taste for starbucks pumpkin spice lattes (even though i can’t stand the taste of coffee with a burning passion). maybe i can just take the espresso out, add chai, and pretend it’s the real thing? ramblings aside, enjoy the playlist above until my next post!

one thing i really can’t stand is when i’m seriously disorganized, so you can imagine how stressful college move-in day (or days in my case) is. the roomie and i are still decorating our rooms and after moving in over a week ago, finally managed to raise her bed. i’ve given up on mine… the one thing i do have some control over right now is my desk, and it’s officially becoming a crafting station, no joke.

hey there guys! after moving back to school last weekend, i’m back and ready to get my life in lipstick up and running again.. i needed a bit of time to settle in, but classes are starting up again and i’m slowly, but surely developing a routine. speaking of getting myself together and staying in the loop with my school work, i wanted to share something very cool with you all. i have had the amazing opportunity to partner up with a chain of stores in my town (loop, gallery couture, and the gibson) to blog about some of my favorite pieces and outfits from time to time (or school break to school break).

going into sophomore year is a totally different feeling for me… last year my nerves got the better of me (total understatement), but it all turned out great. i couldn’t be more excited to head back to georgetown, and i feel more ready and older in a way. it’s an indescribable feeling, but all in all a good one. once i have my dorm set up next week, i’ll have more posts up! until then, i’ll “see” you soon!

sophomore year is beginning next week and i couldn’t be more excited. new classes, new experiences and new moments with friends all await me, and starting sunday everything picks up again. i’m starting to pack (which has turned out to be absolutely hellish), and narrowing down clothes, jewelry, shoes and all of the above, hopefully learning from last year’s move in. for the next few days posts won’t be as frequent, but to tide you guys over i thought i’d share my dorm design scheme. i love the way everything came together, and it just so happens this is the one thing i have figured out!
anthropologie rosette bedding in neutral/ivory, which i got during the bedding sale (plus my bday discount)!
assorted pillows from anthropologie, west elm (both sequin ones were on sale!), and etsy (striped)!
a piece of home!
something came over me and i had to get this… i don’t know why, but i love it. all it needs are gold glitter antlers and it’s perfect!
cutest products from sugar paper that manage to stick to my obsessive color scheme…
and last, but not least, the calendar that gets me through everything

every season new trends come and go, and i usually try my hardest to not spend a ton of money partaking in them. the animal sweater trend is going to make this extremely difficult. from burberry to j.crew, these sweaters are popping up everywhere and i couldn’t be more excited. so far i have the madewell meerkat in my possession, and i know i’m going to add more (or once again, i’ll attempt to save money as my mom insists and not buy more…)
also thank you to alex winston (and the j.crew store soundtrack) for the title inspiration, this song is amazing!
mini meerkat pullover from madewell… my love for the lion king has come in handy!
a foxy sweater from aubin & wills (cheesy pun, i know…)
i called this the chicken in a beret sweater at work until i put together that it was called the french hen sweater… very clever j.crew, very clever
i would love to give this burberry owl sweater a hoot and a holler! (cheesy puns will keep on coming…)
this sweater is one of my favorites, but it’s sold out and out of my price range!

yesterday i popped into madewell after work (like i almost always do) and started talking to some of the employees about the fall 2012 line. i was allowed to take a peak at the upcoming window displays, and let me tell you, it was amazing. the shoes alone are out of this world and i am counting down until this collection is released in stores. head over to madewell.com for a sneak peek at their fall collection. i promise you won’t be disappointed!
