Yesssss.

Thanks Zara!

Her Wig is Too Tight, It's Squeezing Her Brain

Wearing a dress I lurrrve and having a lovely day because tomorrow and Sunday are going to be spent writing and studyyyying for my FOUR midterms and 10-page long paper due next week. Barf. I can't decide which is worse; grad school homework or the thought of actually having to get a real job.

Going to hit up Zara and the boutiques around me that I have neglected since last spring and then going to dinner with my number 1 school bestie at La Grande Orange in Santa Monica because it reminds us of home. A taste of Phoenix if you will. I have major calluses reminiscent of gymnastics days on my hands from Crossfit this week - my hands are so not Dove-soft. This may be part of the reason why people use to call me man-hands when I was younger.... True story.

Ps. My new fave snackerooni/lunch/whenever is a Trader Joe's wheat pita stuffed with Trader Joe's garlic hummus and shredded crunchy veggies. I've been using TJ's broccoli slaw (just shredded carrots and broccoli) and shredded red cabbage. I cannot STAND soggy veggies. But these stay nice and crisp. SO. GOOD.

WEARING:

Rag & Bone Floral Maxi Dress (from the sadly-over Fred Segal sale)


3.1 Phillip Lim Blazer


Dolce Vita Gladiator Sandals (got these over the summer for $18 at Nordstrom Last Chance but I don't think I've put them on the blog yet)

Take that MAC!

So I'm enjoying my new HP laptop much more because that in the last week, it was on both One Tree Hill and Desperate Housewives. If its good enough for Brook Davis to helm the Clothes over Bros empire, its good enough for me.

PS. I love this site - www.1000awesomethings.com

Scottish Hippie Wedding

Had an amazingggg but short time in Scotland - castles, kilts, wine, fresh food, runs around the village, chocolate, and TOPSHOP.




My outfits were a little boring - it was COLD and drizzzly so I just brought flannels, leggings and assorted boots and wellies. One fun thing was my 3.1 Phillip Lim Tweed Trench that I got a few months ago at Nordstrom Rack Designer Shop for.... $65. Its a $1000 trench coat people.
Soak it in.


Had a midterm to study for as soon as I got home, so I put off unpacking, grocery shopping and cleaning for studying yesterday. I have 4 midterms next week so this weekend is going to be a BLAST.

Rain Makes Me Sleeeeeepy

Its been raining all day here in lalaland and I literally had to tear myself away from my bed today to get all the things I need to get done before I go to SCOTLAND on Thursday! My cousin is getting married and I am stoked for my lil weekend getaway.

I'm sorry Rachel Zoe, but I cannot get on board with fur vests. While they look ever so boho chic on you, my 95-lb fashion darling, I have a hunch that they would just make me look like a boxy sasquatch. I will not be logging on to QVC when these puppies come out....

hate. HATE.

I haven't truly hated a class/teacher this much since like, sophomore year of undergrad. and before that, a certain high school teacher. It seems at every school I attend, I will enjoy some of the teachers, be indifferent to most, and have one that truly pisses me off in every way. My semester end evaluation is going to be cruel......
Was doing homework until late last night and ALLLLLL day today until my first class at 4pm. Tired. And the bf took my puppy home with him because I'm going out of town on Thursday. It was the first really chilly day today of the year. Sad, sad, sad.

WEARING:

Crap.

We did over 300 squats to a medicine ball at Crossfit on Thursday, 60 of which I had a 45lb weight over my head (keep in mind that the Workout of the Day is always AFTER running a mile and doing multiple other things) and my legs are SOOOOO SORE still. I have to run this stupid 5K I signed up for with the boyf while my mom and her friends run the marathon (no biggie, they do them all the time...). I can currently barely sit down without falling and my legs buckle every few steps. Crrrrap. So I bought a foam roller and have periodically been rolling my thighs out and taking tylenol in the vain hope that they'll be somewhat ok tomorrow in between going down to Long Beach to get my race packet. I win the smartness award....

WEARING (condusive to leg rolling out and walking around Long Beach):

Vince Oversize Racerback Tank ($30 at Nordstrom Rack over the summer - forgot I bought it)
