October Mornings

Fall is so lovely. My roommate and I wandered up Lexington Ave to Edit New York, where I bought a Joie sweater (after feeling just how soft it was)! The weather has been so perfect--cool and crisp and sunny. What were you up to this weekend?

A Little Celebration

I turn 22 today, so I'm going to take this opportunity to paint my nails with glittery polish at my desk and eat an entire plate of cheese for dinner. Here's to champagne and having a job and playing with beauty products and graduating and family and happy hours and this dress (need it, but my wallet just shriveled up and died from sticker shock) and heirloom teacups and friends, both new and old.


Things I learned when I was 21:
1. If you can smell the whiskey on his breath through the door, keep it closed.
2. I hate Ikea. I love Ikea. I have a love-hate relationship with Ikea.
3. Whispering is rude.
4. Wearing a slip is important when your dress is sheer. Owning a full-length mirror is also helpful.
5. How to tell the difference between a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA.
6. Pear and bleu cheese ice cream exists. It's not too bad.

Say Yes...

...Yes to coffee dates with new friends.

Yes to marshmallows.

Yes to attending Superbowl games only for the drinks...

...just kidding. Kind of.

Yes to rainbow confetti and gold glitz.

Yes to inspiring recipes...

...and to an equally inspiring Italian style icon.

Yes yes yes to a glamorous weekend!

Little Luxuries

Now that sorority recruitment is over, this is what I feel like doing: sipping a glass of Chianti, sleeping in sequins, and taking the frothiest bubble bath known to mankind. All while wearing a huge, excited smile, of course!
