holiday dining

kind of loving this coat for when it finally starts to get cold

i watched elf last night and honestly these are some of the reasons it will never get old

this seems like the perfect thing to wear on christmas morning

my love for this print is very real (but what’s also real is the price tag…)

getting adele tickets was a saga, but it was a saga that ended successfully for me… my excitement is pretty hard to contain

waiting for this suitcase to be back in stock (i’ve had the same one since i was in elementary school and it needs an upgrade)

thrillist put out a guide to my neighborhood and i’m all about it, especially the friedman’s shoutout

emily schuman will always be a favorite of mine 

google released their 2015 year in review and i was teary by the end… but 2012’s will always be my favorite

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.

 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.

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.

tumblr_nd750l6Jqf1r1oww4o1_1280

there is something special about heading home on amtrak whenever i have breaks from school. as i mentioned a few posts back, it’s insane that thanksgiving is already here, but i really do love going home. being with my family and relaxing at home while watching movies in front of the fire may be one of the best things in the world. i’m very close to my family (shoutout to my mom, who always tell me i don’t blog about her enough) and i love them like crazy. i can’t wait to go home and see them, eat an egg sandwich or two, sleep in every day and not just on saturday, wear comfy clothes, and go into the city with friends, but there’s something else about returning home… i really do miss new york when i’m gone, both the city and long island. i grew up so close to the city and since my grandparents lived there we always visited. new york has always been my second home and i still feel that way. whenever my train approaches the city and i see the new york skyline, the feeling i get is hard to explain; a mix of happiness and nostalgia, excitement and wonder, all-in-all it’s something that i cherish. i think john steinbeck said it best, “once you have live in new york and made it your home, no place else is good enough.”

out-of-office-INSLEE

inslee prints ftw.

1. i can’t stop listening to this 

2. i really love long island… home sweet home. 

3. one of the perks of living 30 minutes from the city and working there this summer as an intern has been partaking in this list. 

4. let alone the fact that i’m a classical studies minor and love anything having to do with almost everything greek related, clover canyon’s grecian collection is beautiful. 

5. i kind of want these for my 21st birthday festivities

6. bradley agather has one of my favorite blogs and i constantly check for updates. 

7. my go-to lip colors in the summer. minty and fresh, plus the red and hot pink shades are both amazing.

8. i’m all about food, especially really good american-style food. 

the art of gathering photos

tumblr_myoahlBWQe1spbrcwo1_500i have a tumblr and sometimes going through my dashboard becomes a highly selective process. i’ll like a photo, and save it for later knowing it’ll look better on my page at a different point in time. thoughts run through my head, like “i can’t reblog a photo of this outfit, because i did a fashion photo a minute earlier”, and so on and so forth. i get into this groove, and it makes me feel like an artistic genius, which is far from the truth. i am a creative person, and i wish i could do photography, but it’s something i haven’t tried (except for my instagram, which makes me feel like annie liebovitz at times, all thanks to filters). since i’m not a photographer, i’d like to consider myself to be a curator. when i say curator i mean i gather photos i love, and group them together all over my desktop waiting for a reason to use them. one of those times is now… i was on a black and white photograph kick recently and it got a little bit crazy for a while. as soon as february gets closer i know there will be another “gathering time.” to me it’s fun and even relaxing… there’s something about putting photos together that reminds me of solving a puzzle, certain ones fit and others don’t, but in the end you have to make it work. i’m totally making something that’s not a big deal into an artistic process, but as the saying goes, “imma do me.” ImageImageImageImage
