What I've been up to...

I thought Spring Break would be filled with cute outfits, cute food, tons of pictures, and tons of productivity.  Well, at least I got one decent outfit out of the mix...

Recently I've been living in dark skinnies, some sort of plain (preferably white, cream, or striped) top, and a jumble of bracelets and watches.  Oh, and sandals.  Because summer decided to show up early this year.  

Again, the absence.  Somehow blogging and life just haven't been blending well lately. However, that's for some really good (and a few really bad) reasons.  

1. Good grades in classes- heck yes!  This is thanks to many late nights, and a few wonderful and intelligent friends.  I knew there was a reason I was doing that stuff...

2. Summer Internships!  I don't want to jinx this one before it even works out,  but I've been in contact with three awesome companies about doing some marketing work this summer.  I don't know what will end up happening, or even if I'll get an offer from any of the three... But one company is located at a beach, one is a global firm with some killer networking opportunities... and one company is flying me to New York City to interview in person.  Excited? Beyond words.   

3. I'm really involved in our school's chapter of Women in Business, one of the most active clubs here at SVC, and I recently got the position of President for this upcoming year!  I can't wait to work with our executive board- one of our first events is to plan and pull off the TOMS Day Without Shoes!

I hope you all are having a wonderful springtime!

Hello High Heels

{Dress: Old Navy, $4}

{Sweater: Old Navy, $9}

{Tights: American Eagle, $3}

{Scarf: Old Navy, $9}

{Necklace: Forever 21, gift}

{Shoes: Target, $12}

Although I wore heels almost everyday in high school, I could count on one hand the amount of times I've pulled out a pair for classes in college. Not that I'm terrible with walking in heels- but the over casualness of my school has gotten me to choose comfort 9 times out of 10. Like this outfit (not including the shoes), the dress might very well have been meant to be worn as a nightgown and the sweater is pretty much just a blanket with sleeves. Oh yes, this is a Friday outfit.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Early Morning Barista

{Oxfords: Urban Outfitters}

At my job I get unlimited free coffee plus 1 free specialty drink per shift. I like to experiment with flavors, but today I made a white chocolate raspberry mocha. yum.

This is not an attempt at a sultry face. This was the "is that a ghost face." No, seriously. I got to the coffeehouse (oldest building on campus- 1886) while it was still dark this morning. Also, I was the only one there. ALSO, everyone on campus swears its haunted. Yes, I am a scaredy cat.

Lately I've kind of been slacking on my day-to-day routine, hair/face wise that is. Recently I've just let my hair air dry and do whatever it wants, which isn't a problem since it dries stick straight anyways. I usually go to bed with it wet and then the next morning just put on some foundation, eyeliner, and mascara. Literally, I'm generally out the door in 15 minutes flat. However, when running super late I have been known to cut this routine down to just 4 minutes. It's been getting old though, so today I just gave myself an extra 20 minutes to put some waves in my hair and pick out a non-jeans outfit (Although none of my full length pictures turned out). Odd, I used to hardly ever wear jeans this much. I guess that's what college does to you though.

Anyways, after I got off work at noon I went thrifting. Oh man, I hit jackpot. I got

1. Hot pink vintage blazer and skirt set (That actually fits great!)
2. Basic fitted black blazer
3. Blue and white seersucker skirt
4. Black chiffon mini skirt with tiny polka dots from express
5. Short-sleeve vintage printed top
6. Oversized cable-knit sweater
7. Leopard print top (I've been looking for a good one!)
8. Ann Taylor LOFT basic orange tee
9. The CUTEST polka dot dress (although it needs a teeny bit of work)
10. Navy blazer
11. White and navy printed blouse

All for a grand total of.... $30.

I'm so proud.

30 for 30 items tomorrow!

This Morning

So yesterday I found the cutest bog ever- Sidewalk Ready. Seriously, I would wear every single outfit she styled, and it gave me some major inspiration. I decided that today I would get up early, do my hair, and then get together a really good outfit. Well, that's what I planned on....

What actually happened was something like this:

8:00 am- Alarm goes off; I turn it off... and go back to sleep (the fatal error)

9:38 am- Receive a sweet goodmorning text that wakes me up

9:39 am- While replying to the text, I realize what time it is, and that I have SIX minutes to be at work. Being late to work doesn't just mean I get written up though- it means the girl before me would have to miss class in order to keep the coffee shop open until I get there. I know from experience...

9:40 am- Grab my favorite jeans and literally the first top I see as I open my drawer. Stuff some makeup into my pockets, and get my plain black jacket as I run out the door.

9:44 am- Get lost in the parking lot-in the pouring rain- while trying to find my car... No, I'm not joking

9:47 am- Arrive at work.

Personally, I consider that a pretty big accomplishment. haha :) And I think I'll even post some pictures in a few hours to prove it.

My College Outfit

{Jeans: TJ Maxx}{Tee: Puerto Rican Store}{Cardigan: Forever 21}{Sandals: Forever 21}

{Necklace: Vintage}

With days full of exams, class and work with less than optimal sleep and prep time so many college students seem to just resort to sweats or jeans and a tshirt... Don't get me wrong, I've definitely had a day or two like that. But for the most part, I like to look at least a little put together. This is what has really been working for me lately (in the sense that I can make lots of different combos that are SUPER comfy but still show personality)....

Dark Jeans (They just look nicer than faded ones) + fun tee or tank +

Comfy Cardigan + Necklace

You may have noticed my frequent use of this combination... but sometimes I just cant help it. I promise I'm putting more effort into coming posts though- I have a few waiting and they're really cute :)

Feels Like Fall

{Sweater: gift}{Jeans: TJ Maxx, $20}{Boots: Burlington Coat Factory, $20}

{Sunglasses: Rue 21, $4}

Today (and by today I mean last Friday, since I am posting this late...) was one of those days, again. I went to bed at 4 am and then got up at 7 am all in the name of a macroeconomics exam- my 4th exam this week. Seriously, it seems like every time I have an exam in one class this semester, I have one in at least 3 others. But anyways, when I got up ridiculously early today it was way too cold- in the 30s and 40s! So, in my sleep deprived state, I grabbed my go-to skinny jeans, a big comfy sweater, owl necklace (how does it not put you in a good mood to wear something fun like this?) and just to go the extra mile for comfort/fun.... I have on leopard comfy socks under my boots ;)
