within some of my wildest hopes and dreams is my desire to one day attend a show at new york fashion week… while looking at photos of different shows is great, and it may cause uncontrollable envy and serious clothing lust, being at a show is still something i would love to experience. since i’m in college in a place that doesn’t happen to be in new york and since i don’t have any invites, it’s not like i even have an option to attend. but STILL, a girl can dream.

instead of doing school work i spent a good amount of time stalking some of my favorite designers and seeing which had looks i can’t seem to forget. i easily could have included way too many pictures, and things could have gotten out of hand, but i decided to narrow it down to a few shows: rebecca minkoff, mara hoffman, and j.crew. hope you all become just as obsessed as i am! (but really)

rebecca minkoff:

if i could do that emoji with the heart eyes i would… because this combination is everything.

j. crew:

and last, but not least, mara hoffman:

obsessed.

i will find a way to somehow get this dress (or at least i’ll try)

listen up!

bastille, music, passion pit, spring

this may be really embarrassing, but i’ll admit i put a lot of thought into the titles of my blog posts. no joke. i’ll sit there and try to think of something witty or puny, and if it doesn’t happen i might even write about something totally different. sometimes i put pressure on myself for the weirdest reasons, and i admit this is one of those reasons. i do like today’s title though, so i guess i can continue with this post, and not judge myself too hard… anyways, i’ve begun making my spring playlist, but funny story it snowed yesterday, and since all my posts now included the weirdness of dc weather i had to include it here. i literally woke up for my 8 am class yesterday, put on my utility jacket with those puffy fur-lined hoods (not real, i swear), wrapped myself in a scarf and made the trek over to class. i love snow, but i was listening to my spring playlist while trying to move my fingers. it’s cool though, i mean i’m open to new experiences, but this is a bit too much. i started spring cleaning the other day, and had to stop and take my sweaters out again… what is that? i hope this is my last weather related post, so for now i’m just going to listen to my spring playlist and pretend i’m walking to class in a skirt, sandals and t-shirt, instead of shivering and running for cover.

cupcakes & cashmere

yesterday morning i woke up and it was snowing. yes, snowing. this may not be a big deal, because march can still be considered wintery, except for the fact that today people were rocking shorts and skirts. what is this? as i said in my last post i can’t follow the weather fluctuations… whenever i’m working the cash register at j.crew, many customers feel the same (yes i ask them, and some of them freak out aka i’ve found my kindred spirits). even this past st. patrick’s day weekend had rainy days, and on saturday i found myself using my shirt, running for cover into another party. i also happened to meet someone who reads this blog, and if you know me in real life (not that this isn’t real life, but you know what i mean), you know that moments like that make my day or maybe life. i got kind of emotional, but it’s all good, i’m used to it, so thank you laura!! anyways back to today’s sunniness… so i’ve had all these photos of bloggers and celebrities rocking sunglasses, and i just want to get to the point where i can wear my sunglasses without looking like a weirdo for wearing them for no reason. so until the weather finally makes that switch to spring, i’ll just keep checking up on my favorite bloggers, rocking the california weather, while i battle the wind and rain to get to the library…

there is one thing i love and hate about dc: the weather. it is constantly changing, and i really can’t keep up. at least back in ny, it’s always cold in the winter. i know it, i’m used to it, i expect (and my mom is from the midwest a.k.a. loves the cold), so i love it too. the difference in dc is that one day it’s sunny and warm, the next it’s monsooning, and the next cold and windy. no joke, this has happened this week, and it gives me whiplash. i love that dc gets warm really early, but i don’t love not being ready for the weather. i almost started spring cleaning yesterday to put all my sweaters away, but thank god i didn’t. today i was straight up shivering on my way to my morning class, cursing myself for making the decision to wear leggings and moccasins. so i guess i can begin fantasizing (no, no that kind) about spring weather and breaking out spring clothes, but until then i’ll just look at them online, and keep on dreaming. shout out to calypso st barth for having some amazing new arrivals, but i hate to break it to ya, you guys won’t be taking my money… (that’s a funny joke, who am i kidding, i have no self-restraint)
