apartment

{ getting the new room all set up }

hello and goodbye to september, you were here and gone oh, so quickly. i’ve been told that you won’t really realize college is over until you get to october, and it starts to hit you. this is true… i’ve started to realize now more than ever, “here i am in the real world, and i’m not going anywhere.” it’s been a realization, but that’s what happens when you’re growing up… or so i’ve been told. here’s a little look into my september, which i still can’t believe is over.

{ adding pretzels to chocolate chip cookies = a good decision }

i haven’t done one of these posts in ages, so i figured it was time to compile all my instagrams and do a quick recap of the past couple of months. the fact that it’s already july 20th and i’m a few months out of college is a bit insane to process, but here i am trying to process it. p.s. there’s a lot of food pics in here, because if you know me you know that i aspire to have one of those amazing food instagram accounts that makes you crave every single that is posted.

{ commemorating my last trip back to georgetown after a school break }

i already wrote a post about georgetown and how graduating could not have been more bittersweet. the last few months of school sped by, and today i find myself starting my first day of work at l’oréal. the excitement is very real (and i’ll have some beauty-inspired posts to come), but before i start this new chapter i wanted to wrap it up with a few pictures capturing the end of my georgetown (and college) career.

Screen Shot 2015-03-23 at 1.38.52 PM{ kicking off march with one of my favorites }

march has come and gone in a blink of an eye, and graduation announcement emails have been steadily coming into my inbox. with these emails comes a whole lot of nostalgia, a sprinkle of disbelief, a tad bit of excitement, and a heaping of what happened to the last four years? until my next post, here’s march through some instagram snapshots.

Screen Shot 2015-03-01 at 11.25.06 PM{ inslee and nars help introduce february}

every time i do one of these posts, i feel like i’m saying the same thing… “wow, i can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by. where has the month gone?” hate to say it, but it’s true. february was an absolute blur, and now march is here, seemingly out of nowhere. the whole “time is speeding by thing” may just be exacerbated by the fact that i’m in the second semester of my senior year, and everything seems to be happening so quickly. before i start talking about seizing the day and all those clichés, i’m going to stop myself and save that for the actual last few weeks of senior year.

this is the moment, extremely late at night, when i sit and wonder when this year came to an end and where december went. the past month has completely flown by and 2015 is basically hours away. i’ve been taking a little break from blogging while i’ve been home on break, but i will be getting back into the swing of things soon. so until then, this is december in a nutshell.

the lust list classics

 

anything and everything inslee // the coolest speaker i have ever seen // hand towels that get a little wild // the perfect everyday bag // the ultimate red lipstick // these booties are the definition of lustworthy // i’m not usually a pearl earring kind of girl, but i love these 

there’s obviously a theme here… a little bit of classic red, sleek black, pearls, and some basics. this year i have worn a lot more black clothing than i used to. there’s something so easy about throwing on a black leather skirt and top or even a black dress. it looks like you’re put together, even though i might have just rolled out of bed. add in a red lip, and you’re good to go. from the title of my blog you may be able to tell i have a thing for lipstick, and that’s an understatement. i love lip color, whether it’s plum or nude, and i especially love bite’s products. they make insanely pretty lip colors and they smell amazingly good. lisi lerch’s earrings are a dupe for oscar de la renta’s tassel earrings, and won’t destroy your wallet. also they’re not heavy, even though they look otherwise. if you want a unique speaker that sounds UNBELIEVABLY GOOD, restoration hardware has you covered. seriously. i went into the store, plugged in my phone, and sat there listening to “all i want” by kodaline for a good amount of time (not dramatic at all). plus, it’s completely natural… no electricity needed. finally, i will continue to dream about those shoes and that bag, and one day when i have my own place i will be getting those hand towels.
