3 Month Catch Up

Well, hello there! I'm sad to say that I've slacked in this part of my life, but I'll quickly catch up for those of you who stumble upon this. One of my New Year's resolutions is to blog and write more.

Since my last post in September, I started school again, made new friends with my schoolmates, had two amazing Professors teach me all about the vaguely familiar world of PR, had papers and homework due each week, completed two group project presentations,

dressed up like an air hostess from the 60s for Halloween,


watched the election, celebrated my birthday singing karaoke




hung out at Linda's in Capitol Hill,


ate tofurky on Thanksgiving, caught up with an old Kiwi friend,
went to an Advanced Style party,



discovered Keys on Main thanks to my pals at work, celebrated at a X-mas party w/ my museum family,

had our hearts broken after the CT massacre, we wrote passionate blog entries about gun control, reunited with an old friend, met some new ones,

went to the EMP...went back to Vegas for Christmas, celebrated NYE in Capitol Hill singing and dancing to karaoke party times,

most of this all occurring while working and going to school full-time.

I've said goodbye to my pals at the exhibit I worked at. Some days were insanely busy, crazy and tough. I'll miss the people. Here's hoping we all move on to better things. I couldn't have started a better job in a new city with the chance of meeting so many awesome people. The folks I worked with were extremely funny, a class act and consummate professionals.

WIWT: To Be Like The Weather

Hello friends, how was your weekend?! Chris & I enjoyed a nice lazy Sunday doing chores and catching up with our friend Jeff. We had a few beers and watched music videos at his place talking about our future plans for the years ahead.

We originally made plans to walk to Jeff's place and take photos of the pretty Autumn scenery, but the sun went down too soon! We took photos last minute at our flat. Please excuse the bad lighting.










thrifted vest, shorts, boots | bracelet from my lovely pen pal named Lorena, bought in a gallery while travelling in Instanbul, Turkey

Most of this outfit was thrifted, and I really miss doing that back home! I am looking forward to the days of having a US address again, and I can open my own Esty shop.

Nautical Themed

I hope you had a great weekend! I spent Friday night watching the Royal Wedding. On Saturday, Chris and I went into the city for errands, window shopping and sushi. It's turning into a Saturday tradition. He took some style photos for me. :) Good husband.






vintage dress | F21 sunglasses | rosette flats from warehouse

I couldn't resist buying this dress since it reminded me of something Anna Karina would wear.

I have a new phone and I've been instantly obsessed with the lomography style apps. AHHH! I've always wanted a fish eye lens and the action sampler camera. One day I will have the actual analog cameras, I promise to myself.





I had so much fun experimenting with the camera! Chris had no idea I took these photos. LOL!

Later that night we met up with our friends for dinner and drinks at a friends birthday gathering.

Later that night we also met up with Chris' old flatmate at a party. We had a really interesting conversation about science, genetically altering food, innovation and the industrial revolution. Mind blowing! It was a really good night.
