Dress - Anthropologie.  Heels - thrifted Kate Spade.  Watch - Fossil.  Ring - The Little Dress Shop.  Necklace - Tiffany's.  Hoops - Nordstrom.

This dress is my newest favorite Anthropologie purchase; it happened to be on sale as a promo last week when I stopped by, and after trying it on and seeing how flattering it was, I bought it!  I wore it for the first time last night for Back to School Night at the elementary school where I'm doing my fieldwork currently.  

Check out the feature on me wearing this dress on Career Bliss!  A friend of mine from high school works for the blog and was sweet enough to feature me this week.    

Back to Blogging

Things that stress me out and make blogging next to impossible:

- moving
- graduate school
- inconsistent Internet
- not knowing where my camera is

Also, the reasons why I have been MIA for what feels like forever.  The move is complete, but it's been a very slow and stressful process.  Luckily, I love my new place and my new roommates, so that has made it bearable.  I started graduate school three weeks ago, which has been overwhelming, but my schedule is starting to even out, and I'm starting to adjust.  In the tech world, I found my camera, and I will finally have Internet tomorrow, which means no more driving around for Wi-Fi access or using the neighbor's spotty connection.  Yay!

A few snapshots of a little bit of fun that happened recently in spite of all the chaos:

Dress - Anthropologie.  Heels - Steve Madden.  Necklace - Francesca's Collection.  Ring - The Little Dress Shop.

The Village

Top - loan from a friend.  Bandeau - Francesca's Collection.  Jeans - Nordstrom.  Sandals - American Eagle.  Earrings - The Little Dress Shop boutique

Currently listening to: Landslide, Fleetwood Mac


A very casual outfit for today, probably not my most stylish, but perfect for walking around the Village in downtown Claremont - my hometown - with both of my parents today.  I'm loving, loving, loving being on vacation; getting plenty of sleep, eating so much good food, enjoying some of the best weather in the world, and spending time with my family.


My dad took the photos I posted today - one of his many talents is photography, and he's doing me a favor by taking pictures for me while I'm at home.  You can see more of his work here: http://365project.org/webfoot (he's taken some pictures of me in the past for his photo project) or check out his blog that includes much of his photography at http://www.aphotoortwoaday.blogspot.com.


Also, wishing my wonderful boyfriend a very happy 23rd birthday today!
