Living the Dream.

I am officially moved! I am living right outside of the city in New Jersey right now, just a short commute into the city. All that I am missing is a job...

Alice Dallal for Chanel

I must say, I am truly impressed with Chanel's new ad campaign! While flipping through the pages of the newest Elle, this ad screamed to me. I feel it is really unexpected from Chanel, which makes me love this even more. Chosen by Lagerfeld in 2011, Alice is a British model from Brazil...confused? Who cares, she is stunning, and even more stunning are the following images!

When you can't afford retail therapy...window shop!

If I never mentioned it before, I am currently interning at Virginia Living Magazine as the fashion intern. I style photo shoots, contact designers and brands for images and information, and do tons of trend research. It is such a fun learning experience! We are currently working on the "Best of Virginia" issue, so we have been scouting for  great outfits for the photo shoot. Definitely the best part of my position is going into great boutiques and department stores in search of fabulous pieces. I always come across a ton of things that I love and want for myself, and today was no exception. Check out my favorite picks!

This skirt is so Pocahontas (which just so happens to be my favorite Disney movie!). So fabulous, especially the leather overlay.

No words....the color...the leather patches. Drooling.

Thank you for encouraging my obsession with spikes, Rebecca Minkoff!

Studs....mmm.

This bag seriously needs to be mine...

Orange or cobalt blue??? Both such hot colors right now!

Spring Break 2012

And my second excuse for slacking on updates...I just returned from Spring Break!! I was lucky enough to return back to NYC for a few days. It was so surreal being there, it felt like I had never left from when I lived there over the summer. It is truly the city of dreams, and I can't imagine living anywhere else when I graduate. I visited the wonderful people I worked with at my internship, explored my favorite spots, and of course shopped! And ate...hahaha. Here are just a few pictures from my travel!

Old apartment...so weird.

Love.

Favorite salad from Hale & Hearty. Heaven.

Ay yo Ceelo! Insane.

TOPSHOP wahhhh I'm home.

Dinner in Little Italy. Tourist time...

I absolutely love this from Soho. So cool.

Graffiti.

And then home to VB. Happiness.

Sweet baby Betsey.
