excusez-moi

So, I'm taking a little hiatus until Saturday to study for my first two finals (one of which I'm pretty sure I'm going to bomb). I have so many outfit pictures that have been slowly building up.

I have to admit, lately I've been dressing like a bum because it's so humid out to the point where I just want to lay in bed next to a million fans and just sleep. It's hard to sleep on my bed though considering my room is a complete and utter mess.

That's my side of the room, don't judge me, haha. I swear it's not like this year round. 

(my trash can is the empty one next to the full one though, don't worry) :)

Grandpa Jen

Grandpa Jen

I bought this trench a month or two ago with my mom and I fell head over heels in love with it. At first I didn't think I'd be able to fit it in with my normal style, but the more I wear it the more I can't take it off. It was warm out this morning and I still wore it! (By the way, the weather is gorgeous outside. Tomorrow it's going to be 88 degrees! Hopefully I'll be able to sneak in a trip to the beach before I officially start studying for my upcoming finals.) 

Yes. That's right. I'm wearing suspenders. 

(trench DKNY, white l/s forever 21, suspenders my brother, jeans forever 21, flats uo, necklace simply vera vera wang)

I stole these suspenders from my brother when I was home a week ago. He never wears them so why not put them to use? They hold up my pants quite nicely. 

It's Rutgersfest today! It's pretty much a day where there are games, free food, and great music (Brand New is one of the bands playing - but then again I never really listened to them).  Actually...Rutgersfest is pretty much just a day where everyone gets trashed during the day into the night. I'm still sober now, don't worry, but it'll change in a bit. It's my friend's 21st today so we're going to celebrate! :)

p.s. I'm glad I'm updating a lot more compared to the beginning of this month. Hopefully I'll keep this up since the summertime is approaching. :)

Hautelook is having an American Apparel Sale going on RIGHT NOW! I'm breaking my shopping ban. I know it's horrible, but I am. Prices are below $20 for a ton of their items. I'll probably be picking up a dress or two. :)

Check it out!

Stumbling

Stumbling

When I saw these shoes online from Forever 21, they only offered sizes 7 and/or 8. I'm a 7 1/2. What's a girl to do? I bought those motherfuckers (excuse my language). Unfortunately, I went for the 7 instead of the 8, so they squeeze my toes a bit. Adding on to the squeezing, I'm horrible when it comes to walking in heels. I pretty stumbled all the way to Rite Aid (my destination) and all the way back to my dorm. Nevertheless, I loved wearing them as they made me feel taller.

So as you've probably noticed, I made a whole lot of changes to my blog. I stayed up until sunrise in order to get it all done since I knew that if I didn't finish it all in one sitting, I'd never finish (why can't I do that with my homework?) I'm pretty satisfied with it as of now...but PLEASE let me know any comments and/or suggestions you guys have. Also, there's now a link to my formspring in the right column just so all the general questions get piled up there. :)

Secret Hiding Spot

April 26, 2010

Secret Hiding Spot

Whenever my photographer is busy (or sleeps in too late), I always resort to taking self-portraits. I'm really insecure when it comes to taking pictures and I get embarrassed easily. People walking by probably think I'm full of it! If only I could explain to them why I'm taking multiple shots of myself. But anyway, whenever I have to take self-portraits, I always take them in the same spot: a little alcove dug into the ground which leads to a basement door. That way I can hide from the world. So if you ever see pictures in this spot (like in this post), you know they're self-portraits.  I promise next time it'll be in a more interesting location. :)

I'm actually wearing this skirt backwards (shh). You can't tell since the zipper is in the back (I'm not fond of it in the front) and I thought I was so sneaky and clever until I realized this skirt had huge pockets in the original front. You can tell in a few of these pictures. Oh well, I can start a trend. :) 

Also, I'm in love with these shoes. I put them on and stomp around the dorm, even when I'm studying. It's the first time I splurged on a pair of shoes. They were a total of $70 (originally $80). Alright, alright, I know. Normally splurging on shoes would consist of an amount in the hundreds or thousands but I'm a broke college student and shoes generally aren't my thing. 

Yesterday was the March of Dimes walk (thank you to my two sponsors - especially Taylor for all the shout outs! I have no idea who the second one was because I accidentally deleted the email before looking at it, so let me know if it was you!) It was on the boardwalk so it was absolutely gorgeous, however it was chilly and rainy and I was inadequately dressed. Whoops! 

p.s. check out my formspring :)

Dynamic Duo: Part II

April 23, 2010

Dynamic Duo: Part II

So Jasmine from Transient Withdrawal and I finally got around to doing part two of our Dynamic Duo adventures! (They aren't really adventures but I shall pretend they are anyway.) We never collaborate on our pictures and we don't see the other person's outfit until we've both styled the Dynamic Duo item...but for some reason we always end up having something similar. This time, even our poses are similar! It's a little crazy. Can you say sister from another mister? :)

This necklace definitely was a hard one to style. I decided to go with the red and blue theme and threw on my nautical dress. It's super comfortable and extremely reliable. I love how Jasmine added a ribbon to the necklace to make it longer. She had the idea of turning it into a brooch and I'm loving the idea. Hopefully she'll go through with it and take pictures (wink wink nudge nudge).

Just a quick shout out to Kembrel, who's having their first private sale right now! 

Kembrel is a private shopping community that offers exclusive sales from favorite brands, designers, and even undiscovered student designers (my favorite part). I just found out about them a few days ago and what I love about them is the fact that they're for students and run by students! :)

You'll need an .edu email to join, so if you do, definitely check it out! It'll be worth your visit.  

I have a Board Development Weekend about an hour away this weekend. I'll probably have to bring my homework to the meetings and workshops just to get it all done. I can't wait though, some of my favorite people are there! I can't wait to take lots of pictures. Also, it's down south a bit and near the beach...maybe I'll see if anyone is up for waking up early to see the sun rise (maybe I'm just crazy). I have to go home tomorrow morning to pick up my car, deposit a check, and pick up my contacts. Hopefully I'll have a little bit of down time during the weekend to blog a bit. Until my next entry! :)
