i live in dresses come springtime and found this lovely piece on one of my favorite clothing websites www.modcloth,com for $64.99, super cute!

la la la

hello hello hello
sorry i've been mia the last couple days, i just got back from my spring break and i've been a little frazzled, but some good news: I GOT THE JOB AT AMERICAN EAGLE! i haven't heard back from j. crew or ann taylor loft yet, but i figured it would be the smartest idea just to take the job because who knows the next opportunity I'm gonna get. i'm pretty excited, especially for my discount!

i was in boston this past weekend for the toro y moi show (whom ended up canceling last minute, bummer) but i still had a good time with some great friends

alsoo we spent a day wandering boston and shopping and i fell in love with this second hand store called "a second time around" on newbury street, highly recommend checking it out, I could've spent hours in there. they had a great variety of cheap pieces and some great high end designer pieces as well. i was particularly drawn to this blue armani tent dress

and the hunt ensues


hello all! turned in some job apps today and got an interview at american eagle on the spot! the interview went very well i felt, and it was a pretty fun interview at that. the assistant manager had me pick out an outfit and pitch it to her

medium wash destroyed skinny jeans

metallic silver sandals

and i couldn't find the necklace that went with the outfit on the ae website but it MADE THE OUTFIT
it was a long chunky chain link necklace similar to this:

i liked how the femininity of the pink and ruffles was offset by the metallic and by the industrial looking chain, and the wash of the jean complimented the "vintage" feel of the top...I may actually go back and buy it!

lets cross our fingers i get this job!

slightly delayed

hello all,

after the oscars a few weeks ago, i really wanted to do an in depth post about all the wonderful fashion the night had to offer, but then my midterms struck and unfortunately i never got around to it. HOWEVER, i would like to post for you all, my favorite dress of the evening.

british actress carey mulligan received a best actress nomination for her role in 'the education', and arrived at the show in by far my favorite dress of the night.

this elegant prada strapless gown was perfect for her figure, and she complimented the outfit well with those SICK prada shoes and her short, edgy 'do. i loved the detailing on the gown, and wanted to take a closer look. you couldn't even capture my excitement when i saw what those details actually were....

MINI KITCHEN UTENSILS?! so awesome. the bodice of the dress is covered in flowers, forks, knives, scissors, nuts, bolts...it's dark and slightly twisted, but is perfect on this prada silhouette.

reportedly vogue editor anna wintour advised the young actress to wear a shorter dress for the awards and mulligan flat out rejected her advice, telling her she didn't need any dress tutoring. haha 'atta girl, i'm glad she did or she wouldn't have been the buzz amongst fashionistas everywhere.

well, now i must embark on a job search for this summer, wish me luck! and until next time,
