could not have had a more smiley and perfect new years. ♥ we spent it at our good friends house surrounded by everyone we love. we all camped on their property and got to wake up and eat breakfast together! i wore (of course) a polka dotted dress… my new years dream dress! i styled a beehive hair-do to accompany the retro dress. this morning…

a day spent in brooklyn getting brunch and cappuccinos with my guy followed by a walk in the village. every day i am here, i feel like i am REALLY living. every minute and every second… simply follows the one before it. it’s a big spontaneous blur, but every night i fall asleep feeling like i filled the day meaningfully. ♥ sweater: for sale in…
oh, i have such an unconditional love for new york city days. the perfect crisp winter air, the cozy sweater filled days, the amazing vintage shops, the non-starbuck’s coffee shops, and walking, walking, walking. my heart IS happy. here’s some snaps from day 1… my brothers roommate got an amazing little puppy named sapphire… and the guy with the pitbull is my brother, matt.

YAY. 4 finals down and one to go. last night i got to listen to a bit about my merchandising professors life/career and it made me wish i could have a mentor like him to teach me everything about sewing/ visual merchandising/ store planning/ FASHION. i want an apprenticeship! 🙂 but for real, there is something to be said for someone who knows so much…

this weekend i got a taste of the spontaneity in my life that i once lived for. unplanned nights out, friends from every edge of the world in one room, living from one day to the next without a care in the world. it is so easy to get caught up in the routine of having so many “things” to do ALL THE TIME… and…
