New Beginnings

These pictures are actually back from the last day of my internship in the city but I decided to post them today since I'm just bumming around my apartment with my roommates and decorating up the place. It's so much cuter this year since we took a group trip to IKEA. We decorated our rooms and our living room with a combined budget of $150 and only spent $112 and it honest has made a world of difference. I'll do a post on my dorm decorating soon! I'm super excited about it. We're going to do some more bumming around today - more decorating, food shopping, the mall, mani/pedis, IHOP dinner, and movie night. The first day of classes is tomorrow so we might as well spend the last day of summer relaxing. :)

I'm so excited for Fashion Week next weekend! Jasmine is arriving on Thursday and it's going to be kind of epic, not gonna lie. Trips to the city, meeting other bloggers, window shopping (and some real shopping), our Dynamic Duo day...there's way too much to look forward to. Come sooner! Let me know if any of you are going to be in the NYC area next weekend - I'd love to meet up with you guys! :)

Damage Control

August 29, 2011

Damage Control

So now that Hurricane Irene has passed by I can leave my house again! My town received minimal damage luckily but the area near my on-campus apartment flooded, including a major highway that's currently closed off. Good thing I went home! I hope everyone else in the path of Irene stayed safe this past weekend. Be sure to check for your local Red Cross shelters to see if they could use a helping hand! :)

I'm obviously way too excited in these pictures. My roommate, Monisha, who was the photographer here, always tells me to do something different instead of the same boring poses. Apparently when I hear different I automatically jump up and start prancing around like a wild animal.

Oh, and I have an interview up at Smashion.com so definitely check it out to learn some fun facts about me. :)

Come At Me, Irene!

August 27, 2011

Come At Me, Irene!

I've officially, completely moved in to my on-campus apartment! I've still gotta transfer a few things over but otherwise I'm all set. It's been nice being back with my roommates and outfit pictures are a lot more exciting now that I have Monisha, one of my two photographers, back in my life. No more outfit pictures right outside my house in the same exact spot day after day! I was obviously so excited about it that I went a little crazy in these pictures.

It's currently almost pitch black outside and it's a little bit frightening hearing the rain coming down. I'm directly in the path of Hurricane Irene and I'm pretty sure in a few hours shit is gonna get a little crazy. I'm not entirely sure what to expect and I think I'm underestimating how bad it's going to be. I decided to go home for the Hurricane - otherwise I'd be in my dorm alone, sitting in bed, peering out the window, and looking at my empty fridge. I told my mom I was going to venture out into the hurricane with my camera and she told me I was stupid (and as usual, momma knows best).

I've charged up my phone, my laptop, and I've got plenty of reading material lined up (including all the Harry Potter books, YES). Bring it on, Irene! BRING IT ON! To everyone in Irene's path, please stay safe and stay indoors! :)

Hibernia Mine

August 23, 2011

Hibernia Mine

So I'm finally getting around to posting these pictures from my photo adventure with Kirsten this past Wednesday.  She ended up taking me to the historic Hibernia Mine railroad bridge in downtown Raritan. It's the oldest metal truss bridge in the county and it was restored in the past few years. Instead of taking pictures on the bridge itself we ventured down under the bridge toward the man-made water fall where we found a little stone landing area. I'm not sure what its purpose is but it sure made for some fantastic photos. :)

Oh, and I'm not fishing. I'm horrible at fishing. Once I caught the tiniest fish and instead of reeling it in I flailed it around until it plopped right back into the water. I was pretty sure if I reeled it in it would slap me in the face and tell me to put it right back. I'm just duping you guys with a stick pretending to be awesome.

I moved most of my stuff into my on-campus apartment on Sunday and I've still got a ton of unpacking, shopping, and more packing to do. It's a mess but it's still nice being back on campus. I've been doing a lot of training at work, bonding with my roommates, and sleeping. Lots of sleeping. I definitely have way too many hours of sleep to catch up on. But on the other hand, maybe if I keep up my schedule of waking up at 7:30 AM every day I'll get more done...which also means I'll end up taking more accidental naps. Whomp.

Central and Remote

August 17, 2011

Central and Remote

So now that I've returned to my job back at my university I have a lot more time and energy to do things that I haven't been able to do this summer, such as taking self-portraits like these! After work yesterday I drove over to one of my favorite self-portrait spots which are some batting cages in a hidden park. No one was around so I happily set up my tripod and pranced around in front of my camera like a good ol' fashion blogger.

I think my favorite outfit shots are the ones I take myself because I have full control of the camera and the angles. But then again, the funnest photo shoots are the ones I take with my photographers (Jeremy, Monisha, and Kirsten). I'm actually meeting up with Kirsten after work today to take some pictures. She found an awesome place nearby that we're going to adventure to - I can't wait to see where it is. :)

I'm finally recovering from crazy amounts of exhaustion. This past weekend, as you may know from my last blog post, I was in Atlantic City for a service event I was planning for Circle K clubs all over the east coast. The event was successful and I can't wait to post pictures and edit all the video clips I took of it. Maybe I'll share some on my blog! A few friends and I stayed an extra night at the Showboat Casino which was awesome despite only getting 2 hours of sleep that night. Giving up sleep for a wild night on the boardwalk is well worth it. :)

Don't forget that today is the last day to enter the Anastasia Brow Kit Giveaway! :)
