Sing Along to My Stereo Heart

Sing Along to My Stereo Heart

I swear, I'm horrible with posting my outfits on the day I actually wear them. I have approximately 4-5 outfit pictures from the past week that I just haven't posted. I promise I'm taking them I'm just slacking - not gonna lie. I'll definitely have more time and energy to blog since today was the last day of my internship in the city.  A bunch of people in the office took me out for lunch to celebrate and say goodbyes. I'll definitely miss the people there and the experience but I definitely won't miss the daily four-hour round-trip commute! On Monday I start working at my college internship but the commute is only a 20-minute drive (thank god) and then I'll be able to move into my on-campus apartment in only a week! Time is flying by!

I wish I had some time between my two internships to relax but I'm spending this weekend down in Atlantic City! I've been planning a service event with a friend for Circle K clubs all over the East Coast including New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. It's going to be crazy insane and I'm so excited! Planning everything resulted in tons of stress but luckily it'll be over by Sunday and hopefully everyone will have had the time of their lives! Too bad I have to wake up at the crack of dawn tomorrow (but then again I'm used to it by now). :P

Oh, and I'm well aware I look super orange in these pictures. It might have to do with the sunlight that morning or with the orange of my skirt reflecting off my face. Most likely the sunlight. 

 

Don't forget to enter the Brow Kit Giveaway by next Wednesday, August 17! :)

Familiar Ground

August 10, 2011

Familiar Ground

Last night, after work, I met up with a couple of my friends to grab some Mac & Cheese at S'MAC in the East Village. Can you say DELICIOUS? I had the Napoletana which was drenched in mozzarella cheese, roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, and fresh basil. I'm already drooling at the thought of it. Good thing it's only a few blocks away from where I work!  Luckily the pouring rain had stopped by the time we finished eating so we were able to wander around doing absolutely nothing and looking for a Starbucks to satisfy my friend's addiction.

I'll probably catch a movie tonight with a friend once I get home - I have an urge to see Horrible Bosses just because I love Jennifer Aniston and I'm obsessed with Charlie Day after numerous episodes of It's Always Sunny. But then again maybe I'll skip out on the movie depending on how tired I feel. I woke up this morning in the clothes I wore yesterday! That's what I get for getting home at midnight after waking up at 6 AM that day. At least I took my contacts out before passing out!

Set Me Down in Your Warm Arms

August 7, 2011

Set Me Down in Your Warm Arms

I haven't seen Jeremy since the end of May and he finally came home from studying abroad in Turkey this past week. He picked me up from work on Thursday with flowers in one hand and I'm pretty sure I melted. It was surreal seeing him in person rather than through a computer screen. I took him to Ninja New York for an early one-year anniversary dinner. Best experience ever?? There were ninjas popping out everywhere and Jeremy kept getting attacked by waiters passing by. I'm pretty sure I cursed at one two many waiters but they were asking for it what with their stealthy attacks and such. It was perfect for our weird sense of humor though, although the amount of food completely defeated us.

After running a few errands on Friday I spent the day with Jeremy being complete bums since he was still suffering from jet lag and I was suffering from a week of work. We ended up seeing Cowboys & Aliens which was completely ridiculous...therefore I enjoyed it immensely. IMMENSELY. We spent Saturday, our last day together, by waking up super early to catch the sunrise by the beach.

We were the only ones on the beach besides two random men with their metal detectors and the lifeguard getting the beach ready for the day. My favorite trips to the beach are when they're void of humanity and people trying to burn themselves to a crisp. After lying around and taking a million pictures we found the cutest breakfast place called The Mariner's Cove. They have a selection of over 200 omelettes as well as scrumptious potato pancakes. Looking at the menu itself was exhausting! I love discovering little places like this. :)

After a very filling breakfast we headed further down south to Seaside Heights and we were greeted with plenty of sunshine and crazy, awesome waves (and no, we didn't run into the cast of the Jersey Shore). We left the beach covered in sand and filled to the brim with salt water. And of course there's nothing better than grabbing some root beer floats from Stewart's on the way home. Now he's currently on a plane to China and I'm missing him all over again. Hopefully the month will fly by fast (but not too fast). :)

Free People (and Jen) in Venice

Free People (and Jen) in Venice

So recently I got the August 2011 edition of the Free People catalog in my mailbox, which was shot in Venice, and the first thing I thought of was my trip to Europe in 2009. My family and I spent two days in Venice during our trip and I firmly believe that Free People got access to my photo archives and was inspired by my own photos when it came to their latest catalog. Obviously. 

If you can't tell I'm very easily amused and I laugh at my own jokes. But in all seriousness, the catalog is absolutely gorgeous. Check it out here in all its glory. When my mom saw it she started rambling on about how the hippies have returned, what with all the long skirts, and crazy patterns. Hope everyone had a lovely Wednesday! :)

They Tell Me Be Strong

They Tell Me Be Strong

 

Forever 21 Top
BCBG Max Azria Skirt
Jessica Simspon Heels

This is one of my favorite outfits I've worn recently just because it's so low maintenance. If the skirt rides up, no worries! It's long enough that even a few inches won't flash anyone by mistake. There's no belt to adjust and there's no shirt to tuck in. I actually got this skirt from my friend Phebe a while back ago and I finally got around to wearing it. I'll definitely be wearing it more often, especially in the fall, since the fabric is nice and warm. Definitely a staple in my closet from now on. :)

Recently I've been obsessed with Drowning by Armin Van Buuren ft. Laura V. I listen to it on repeat at work and I'm dreading the day I get sick of it (because let's be real, if you listen to any song too many times you need a break). Be obsessed with me:
