I haven't though much of Valentine's Day. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan when I am in a relationship and now that I'm single, I was extra not-interested. Now, I have an invite to Fashion Week, the Araks show, and my friend Lillias White's midnight concert. Now, I have excuse to buy a new dress! It's going to be a blast. Maybe I'll even meet a straight guy? Help me pick a dress!

Thanks, boys.

It's hard to believe but I used to be a tomboy. In elementary school, I wore Atlanta Braves caps and Fubu jerseys. Shudder. By junior high I was a full C-cup, which I think pushed me into dressing more feminine. Now, I want it all: the best of both worlds, or sexes.

How awesome is this Jack Spade bag? I can picture it mixed with something super girly.


Adorable Topmen cardigans.

Glasses from Details mag that would look so hot on the any girl (I want the top ones!)

What do you want to borrow/steal from the guys?

But I'm Broke!!!

Zac Posen for Target. See you at 9 AM April 25th.

Quarter-Life Crisis?

I've been gone from the blogverse for a while for many reasons, none of them too exciting. I have this thing where when I'm upset about something, I clam up and hide. I had (well, continue to have) family stuff that I have to work through. I tend to take care of others before myself. I am starting to focus more on my life now. Window shop and curl up in Barnes and Noble all day Sunday? Done. I'm even trying to TURN OFF MY PHONE. It's a work in progress. OK, now to more positive things.

While I was sitting in Organic Chem last semester, I had this what am I doing here? moment. The huge difference between what I felt I should be doing, versus what I wanted to be doing, became crystal clear. To make a really long story short, I am now a Journalism major and not Pre-Med/Pre-PT. Big difference, right? I still love medicine and helping people. I know that no matter what my "career" is, I will find a way to help the people I am passionate about. I can see myself volunteering at a nursing home on the weekends, and I know I will actually do it.

I'm currently tapping into the creative side of myself that has been buried by medical billing and the periodic table. I'm starting to write again and I LOVE it. I figured out that I'm actually good at it! I also know a lot about fashion and consider it more than a hobby. So why not put them together? Who else reads or buys more than 10 magazines a month?! I read some online but only the extras on the websites. I need the feel of a mag. I read every inch; I read the parts most skim over. I rip pages out and post them on my wall like a 12 year old with a Jonas Brothers obsession. (True fact: I actually love the Jonas boys.) It's only natural that I use the skills that I have to do the things that I love. Sounds easy, right? Of course, almost everyone in my life thinks I'm having a Quarter-Life Crisis. I think I'm just growing into my own and creating my own path. I'm really excited about it.

Tweet Of the Day

"Now watching the doc 'Every Little Step' after brunch. For the 5th time. No cliches or stereotypes here."

The adorable Mr. Joe Zee, creative director for Elle magazine. ( I LOVED that doc.)

Exciting Comfort News

When I first moved to the city, I wore heels all the time. Now, I can usually be found wearing my floral BCBG Max Azria Keds, Tom's, or the occasional ballet flat. I need to be comfortable so I can walk A LOT but I don't want to sacrifice style. (A dress, tights, and white Nike's anyone?) There are many exciting casual shoe options as of late. Here are some I'm lovin'.
My sneaks have seen better days.


Loomstate, the organic line of clothes and accessories, teamed with Keds exclusively for Barney's. At $75 a pop, they are a bit pricey but worth it if you wear them as much as I do. The real issue will be, which pair will you choose? (On a dorky note, as comfortable as they are, they need an arch support so the slip in Dr. Scholl's at Duane Reade are great.)


In case you aren't loving the style and design of these Keds, you can design your own! I could play on this website all day. I often send my completed pair to my BFF J who then tells me that hot pink polka dot mixed with plaid will in fact NOT go with everything and I make should another pair. He's usually right.

How cute are these? For some serious walking, New Balance has done a line for Nine West. They're cute AND have New Balance arch support/comfort. The best part? They are on sale.









I have been having dreams about these Lavin sneakers for a while but at around $600 they are a bit out of my price range. May 1st, Michelle Obama stepped out while volunteering in DC in a similar pair. A girl can dream, right?
