Leaving this Thursday for a 10-day trip to Paris for spring break with my mom! I'm so excited it's insane.

Presents of Mind

 Vince waffle-knit sweater, Bird by Juicy Couture shorts, Wolford tights, J. Crew boots

For Christmas I got this super-comfy yak/wool sweater and these amazing ankle boots, and I've already been wearing them to death. So in love, especially with the boots (all my friends and family are tired of hearing me wax poetic about how the boots are not only sort of '90s grunge-ish, in a more polished way, but also sort of equestrienne-preppy, a la J. Crew).

Apologies for the poor camera quality (courtesy of my beloved Blackberry) and my awkward faces.

At Last

Sequined sweatshirt from J. Crew, Bird by Juicy Couture leather shorts

I'm ecstatic about finally getting my hands on a pair of leather shorts. These black beauties are from Bird by Juicy Couture, which isn't really a brand I wear but I definitely fell in love with the classic, simplistic design of these. And they're so weather-versatile that they've already become a staple of my wardrobe.

New England Summer

Martha's Vineyard

Provincetown

Ogunquit, Maine

I had an amazing time this summer visiting family in New England! It was great to see family who I hadn't seen in ages, and to grow closer with some of them - my second cousins are more like sisters now :)

She Wore Dior

Love my new Dior heels! Got them for a great price, and the wooden platform and heel are amazing!
They go with almost everything - no wonder people say that animal print is the new neutral.

P.S.

Hahaha please kindly ignore the fact that my feet are a different color from my legs :) a summer of golf will do that to a girl

but there's more

He shrugged. He held the cigarette out in front of him and they watched it burn, a single ember in the heavy, humid night.
"I thought it would make me look..." He tapped the cigarette and flakes of ash fluttered to the ground.
She knew she was meant to finish the thought but she smiled instead.
"Well, it doesn't," she said petulantly, stepping closer and setting her wrists onto his shoulders, her fingers brushing against the back of his neck as they knitted together. They looked at each other for a moment. He crushed the lit end of the cigarette into the potted plant to his left.
"You know, smoking's bad for you." Her hands slid along the sides of his neck until she cupped his delicate jaw in her palms. She tilted his face up towards hers.
"Lots of things are bad for you," he murmured. The air around them lost its dampness and crackled.
