My heart is breathing for this moment

Last night, which should have consisted of writing a paper and studying for a midterm, ended up being a dance session with friends featuring past and present boy bands. So worth it. What better way to get through winter quarter? (post title from Moments by One Direction...I melt when I listen to this song. No judgment.)


Anywhoo check out this lovely lookbook by DSquared2 via Honestly...WTF. It reminds me of  1960s London. Perfect combination of elegant and sexy. I am especially loving that last black dress. Yes please. (Click on image to zoom)

I just haunt all that I've wanted and leave what I don't

This week has been slightly hectic, but there has been some exciting news:


1. I saw Matt & Kim and Lupe Fiasco last weekend... I love Kim.  She is so cool.  Like fo realz.


2. Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is uber pretty.


3. It snowed today.


4. I get to see my mother tomorrow :)  We are going to shop and have high tea.


5.  And... I got a part time internship at a publishing company!  Woah.  Sometimes I pass out when I think about it.  Not really...  haha thank you mon amie!  Maybe this means I'm closer to one day working in publishing in NYC...?  Well if I did, this is what I would wear: from here and here.

Those are killer shoes.  Post title from Half Moon by Blind Pilot (I get to see them Sunday!!)

That little black dress

This is such a cool video.  One black dress, so many cute outfits.  I especially love the second outfit.  I found it via HelloGiggles.

I can't think of a blog title right now

Let's talk about some things that make me happy.  Why do you care?  Well this is my blog so you have no choice.  First I love belts.

Next I love black dresses.  I recently got one from Banana Republic for $20.  Think about it.

I am also very excited for Fall weather.  I look at my new blazer and mini trench coat, and I get all excited about Autumn in Chicago.  Btw big dog in next picture scares me.

And finally, just a few little things that make everything better:

And I would love to see that day, that day is mine

It has happened.  I finally bought a black blazer.  I know its really hot outside, and it makes no sense to wear a blazer in summer, but I'm just that excited!  I have decided that my discount this summer will go towards basics: the blazer, the white shirt, jeans that actually fit me, and shorts (that may seem like a lot, but without a plan, I would spend ALL the little money I earn).

These are from weheartit... aka I have no idea where they are from.  Title from Postcards from Italy by Beirut (which has nothing to do with blazers...)
