Rainy Day Musings

It's a rainy day, I'm sitting in bed, and I have a suspected jaw injury.  Typical Tuesday, I guess. 

I'm an iphone photog.

 This picture is NOT from today; I actually took it way back in November, I think--but it's beautiful and I love the way the rain looks all lit up against the sky.  The streets of DC are so pretty at sunset. That's definitely one thing I'm ready to see again when I go back to school....also my beautiful friends (and the fratstars we herd around). College is an adventure and even though I might have hit a few bumps along the road it's not going to stop me from enjoying every second of the time I have left. (In the words of Will, Dan, Matt, and the rest of Lambda Chi Alpha, "YOLO.") x)
Special shoutout to the other two members of the trio. I can't wait to spend more time with you two ladies this summer. We can throw up our anchors (shhh..in secret) and definitely down some sangria.

I had an amazing weekend all the way out on the other side of my beautiful state...yes, away from the Ocean D: and I simply cannot wait for those wonderful people to come visit me!!! I'm thinking about putting up some pictures (but I'm hesitant because this blog is public and I need to stay employed). But we shall seeeeee.

And of course some fashion inspiration.

I couldn't leave you all without some fashion inspiration, so here's another selection from my massvie library of fashion pictures. (I'm a compulsive iphone photo saver..or at least I was back when I ruled instagram with an iron grip....jokes....mostly.) The black heels dress up the look and add a pinch of sophistication, but this outfit can easily be dressed down with a pair of strappy sandals or pulled into early fall with an oversized sweater. I simply adore this skirt--the asymmetrical hem is whimsical and very in. I also love the choice of a bulky leather satchel; perfect grab bag and it really ties in the darker heels. Note: I would recommend going for lighter leathers with blonde hair and fairer skin.

A little inspiration.

I can't describe how much I love this shade of blue on my nails.

 This pearl collar is an adorable way to add some charm to a simple top! It's also a perfect DIY project for a rainy afternoon.

I've been drawing a lot of inspiration from this shade of blue; it's so fresh and girly and relaxing.  I'm absolutely loving it as a nail color....it's been on my nails for the past three of four weeks! xoxo

Mints and Pastels

I love the mint and pastel trends that have been showing up this spring.  It's fresh, girly, and so inspiring!

This picture shows off the adorable YSL ring that every girl I know has been drooling over for the past few months. I'll admit that I've been saving up for one of my own (in turquoise, as pictured.) It's a stunning statement piece, and can totally add a bit to a bare hand or play up your arm candy! This picture is actually from one of my favorite blogs, run by two girls I found in instagram. (Lets not talk about instagram...I'm still working on recovering my own hair account from that.)

Here's are some more adorable images.

Gorgeous Blogger Jules did it right with some pastel blue and a pop of neon. I encourage all of you to check out her blog...just google Sincerely, Jules and you'll find it! It's a must see.  

 

I love the edge that a pair of black platforms adds to this look.

Ther writer of Cupcakes & Cashmere looks beautiful in her pink and coarl ensemble; the nude heels add a touch of extra class and keep the look from going over the top.

I'm back....maybe.

I've thought about writing on this blog again.  I think I'll purge all of my old whining and start anew. If anyone still reads this, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
