<3


My fiance deserves a post because he has been so wonderful putting up with my nervous nellie ways for the past few weeks. I started law school today, but not without some serious doubts. John held my hand, laughed at me, and told me it would be okay. And today it was.

So John, thank you for believing in me and being proud of me. It means more than you know.

Because I like this.



500 Days of Summer was cute, but not my favorite movie of all time. However, I DO like this video of cute Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He's kind of bratty, and I like it, mostly because I can be bratty too.

Frida Kahlo

She will always remain one of my favorite artists. And the rich colors and flowers in her hair? Perfection.

Apartment Therapy

(What I'm imagining one of my 2 bathrooms will look like)

I'm moving! After two years in my lovely studio loft apartment (which I so generously shared with my fiance), it was time for a change. I start law school on Monday (eee), and had been begging John for a place with at least one door, and maybe, possibly, a teensy office for me.

Well, we found one, and I'm at a loss for how to decorate it! You see, we're moving into a handicap accessible apartment, and we now have two MASSIVE industrial-looking bathrooms and low counters. While some people may balk at this, John and I jumped at the challenge, especially since one of us is tall and the other one is short (but the dr. said I was 5'5"!)...

...Except that now I'm starting to doubt my apartment decorating abilities. Tell me, do you have any tips or suggestions for how to make awkward spaces work??

(P.S.~ I don't know how confident I feel about chalkboard paint, but isn't this table awesome?)

My favorite kind of people (for Erin)


NERDS WITH SOCIAL SKILLS.

A fraction of fashion.

I just came across this beautiful woman's blog, A Fraction of Fashion while browsing yet another awesome new blog, Turned Out. God, isn't she gorgeous? And Celia (A Fraction of Fashion), seems to have kept her style totally her own, which is hard to do.

Plus, those curls! Ah, she is my new style crush.

Le Mariage


My darling friend Morgan got married this weekend, and oh, did it make me excited to get married. It was a beautiful ceremony, simple and sweet, at a GORGEOUS mansion in Connecticut.

I was with all of my oldest friends. I love the above picture because we're all so happy, and invested in making sure that Morgan (the bride) looked her best. I wish her all the happiness in the world, and to my dear friends, I love you.
