SPRING!

i'm so glad this weather is FINALLY here! i'm such a warm weather kind of girl. here are some of my favorite things i love for this weather:


long sleeve shirts and shorts. i especially love wearing yellow shorts in the spring and summer. 


solid color rompers and sandals are also great. 


i especially love these sandals.

i know that ray bans are overdone, but i love my tortoise shell wayfarers. 


OPI dutch tulips is a favorite of mine...
...mainly because of these:


i love to see tulips blooming everywhere during the spring.


a tire swing by the lake is definitely one of my favorite things for the warm weather...even though it's not quite warm enough yet. 

  

the decemberists came out with a new album called "the king is dead" that i've been listening to a lot. it has been great for long sunny drives in the car. 

i hope everyone is having a good spring break! it's the last one i'll ever have before i'm in the working world so i'm definitely going to enjoy mine!

Are there something about banana peels that I don't know about? I've heard so many songs lately with a banana peel reference. Someone please tell me.

let's hear it for NEW YORK!!

It's been awhile since I've posted anything because I haven't stopped moving since the week before finals. The monday after exams, I went to new york for a week...which was a great reward for me after exam week to say the least. Being in New York this time of year is so wonderful and made me even more excited for Christmas.   
Here are a couple of pictures from our trip... 



I was so glad to finally get to see that tree.  


wollman rink in central park.

walking in central park was probably my favorite thing to do.


you never know what you are going to see. spiderman made an appearance... he was so serious about saving new york city.


of course we had to take a picture in front of the love sign. (this just screams tourist)


grimaldi's pizzeria. the best pizza i've ever eaten. everyone told us that we would find real ny style pizza here. they played elvis the whole time we were there...some things we just can't escape. i would recommend this to anyone going to ny. 


the spotted pig. also would recommend this place to anyone going to ny. it's a really cool restaurant in the west village.


i think i may be a knicks fan now. we went to the knicks/celtics game and it was so fun and so intense. if you happened to watch the game, you know why. 


Shaquille himself. i think we would all be in support of a kazaam sequel. 


the late show with david letterman. we happened to have the most boring guests ever when we were there, but it was fun nonetheless. we were on the second row, so if you watched the show, you could see us several times.

This week, I am glad to be at home with my family and friends just hanging out and getting ready for Christmas. I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas break as well!

modern 50

this website sells all kinds of vintage furnishings with some pieces dating back to the early 1800s. It is really fun to look through their website because they sell some of the most bizarre things i have ever seen. i posted a few pictures of the things i like from their website, which are more on the conventional side of what they have to offer...

i love a good break.

whenever things in life aren't wonderful, it's nice to have good friends to hang out with. i can never stop laughing when we are all together. michael has the best screened in porch to hang out on so thats exactly what we did last night. i realize that there is a 3 to 1 boy to girl ratio in our group of friends so whenever the girls can pull the boys away from playing halo (or whatever game it is that they play) this is what we do...










i love getting breaks from school so we can all hang out. hope everyone is enjoying their break and getting to catch up with friends and family!
