 as a person who is kind of addicted to lip balm, i love this one.

mumford and sons’ new album is coming out soon and they’re going on tour… so my high school-self and current-self are freaking out.

age of ultron cannot come out sooner. hello new trailers.

i absolutely love this for love & lemons dress. 

you should check out these unique maps of america.

i really want to make these salted caramel cookies. 

mac and cheese is my favorite comfort food, so this list is great.

these vans are A+.

one of the best dresses i have ever owned.

i am 100% making these mini pizzas.

i need to check out this restaurant next time i’m home.

most importantly, a friend of mine has been accepted into a masters program to study international business. i met him when we were both visiting georgetown as high school seniors, and he is an all-around really good guy. if you have the ability to donate and help him attend school, or want to learn more about his story, check it out here.

march state of the unionspring is finally here and my current “favorites” reflect that. i can finally hang up my winter jacket (hopefully there won’t be freak weather) and put my timbs into storage, and break out some sandals, ripped jeans and white t-shirts (a.k.a. my spring wardrobe).

what i’m eating | sweetgreen is right down the block from my apartment, and now that spring is here i will start getting way more frozen yogurt than i should. soon strawberries will be back and i’ll be adding them to my favorite salad (spinach, romaine, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, avocado, roasted broccoli, pita chips, goat cheese, chicken and balsamic dressing).

what i’m listening to | i can listen to mumford and sons all the time. this isn’t an exaggeration… senior year of high school i listened to their album every single day while working on our yearbook. their new album is coming out soon, and while it has a different sound, i couldn’t be more excited. check out their new song here.

what i’m reading | i absolutely love to bake, and collecting cookbooks definitely fuels my love. there are a few cookbooks that i want to get, but ovenly seems great. just take a look at the cover, and i think you’ll agree.

what i’m watching | i wanted to see wild while it was in theaters, but that didn’t happen. so instead i’ve been waiting for it to be released, and now that it’s finally out i can watch it.

what i’m wearing | i have been wearing this perfume now that it’s warmer out, this nude lip balm, and this ring.

what i’m lusting after | sandals are coming back into my life, and i really like these ones.

spring break lust list

a choker that i love in theory, but probably won’t ever wear | a big fan of these aviators | this (in the polynesian print) could be a coverup or even a dress | i love bright lips, especially when it’s sunny and warm | the perfect beach bag | channeling my inner beach babe with this necklace | these shoes are great, plain and simple | one of my favorite warm weather makeup items | a hat to stop sunburn | something to manage my hair | SPF is 100% necessary for my skin and this stuff is my favorite

spring break is less than a week away, and this is the first time i will ever be leaving the country. so not only am i going on my first (and last) college spring break, but i will be traveling outside of america for the first time. there won’t be any posts up on here while i’m gone, but i’ll definitely have pictures after!

IMG_0247{ prettiest water meter i’ve seen }

there aren’t enough words to describe how much i love new orleans (and the south). yes, i’m a new york girl through and through, but there’s a certain charm down south. it helps that when i got to new orleans the weather was unreal (sunny and warm) and my first was a shrimp po boy, so i started off on the right foot. the mardi gras parades were unreal… my roommate (who is from nola) gave us tips on which beads you should save and how to catch them (no public indecency required), but i still managed to get annihilated by bags of beads hitting me in the face. i was able to get some beauties, but the beating i took on bourbon street one night from one solitary necklace was brutal. there’s pain and then there’s “getting whipped in the face at high speed with beads being flung from balconies” pain. i had my fair share of hurricanes, fried chicken, bourbon street, mechanical bulls, warm weather, front porches, southern charm, bead-related injuries, and crawfish and i absolutely loved it. so until next time new orleans, i’ll be missing you.

{ a little bit of new years jubilee }

i know that january isn’t over yet, but it’s getting pretty close to the end of the month. this weekend is going to be super busy, because it’s senior parents weekend at georgetown and i’m helping to plan it. i decided to jump the gun on this post, which hopefully isn’t a bad decision… who knows, i might even have enough photos from this weekend that i can do a separate post, but you’ll have to wait and see! while you wait, you should get ready for the best super bowl post ever. (do you sense any dramatics?)

i love google’s commercials so, so much

i’m not the biggest fan of dogs wearing clothes, but this jacket is pretty cute

i want to be a part of it, new york, new york… 

this makeup tutorial is simple, yet beautiful

there’s nothing like a casual dress, especially if it has stripes

this flatbread will be next on my cooking agenda

a little bit (or a whole lot) of good news for SOA fans

when you don’t know what to do with your hair, i suggest doing this 

vikings season 3 looks unreal (i seriously recommend watching this show)

growing up with curly hair hasn’t always been easy and when i was younger i always wanted to have straighter hair. this commercial by dove reminds me of how i used to feel when i was little (and how i sometimes still do feel)

these steve madden sandals are gorgeous

i am in the final stretch of finals (see what i did there?) and am so ready to be home and sleeping. once i’m back in new york i’ll be doing some worthwhile posts, but until then this will have to do.

as someone who loves to read, this buzzfeed post is great

the new york times brought together the year’s best actors in an incredibly cool way

schmidt from new girl representing long island a.k.a home sweet home

imagine dragons’ video for “i bet my life” is unbelievable

this dress looks ridiculously comfortable… plus it has stripes

prince george kills it 

crying because of this apple commercial

i love these vans way too much

i cannot stop listening to the interstellar soundtrack, especially this song

this gift idea by cupcakes & cashmere is great

i think this watch is stunning

the office and the hobbit (two of my favorite worlds) come together for one amazing skit

ballet flats // stubbs & wootton loafers // nike blazers // barrett booties // stella pumps 

i am a big fan of shoes. let’s pretend that i’m not weirdly a 9 1/2 that straddles the line between a nine and ten, that my feet aren’t wide, and that finding shoes on zara’s website is easy. the struggles (but they aren’t truly struggles, just be being dramatic). anyhow, j.crew is killing the shoe game at the moment. every shoe pictured above can be found on their website, and they happen to have 30% off sale and 25% off of regular price items… so if you happen to be waiting to make a purchase, now is your time. the slippers by stubbs & wootton are WAY out of my price range, but a girl can dream. on the other hand, the nike blazers, the stella pumps and the lattice suede ballet flats are all on sale… a.k.a. they are one hell of a temptation, but i will resist. if there is any chance the barrett booties go on sale though, there will be no stopping me.
