HALF AND HALF

(thrifted blouse, shorts from South Moon Under- similar, Jefferey Campbell sandals,  Michael Kors watch, gifted ring, Danielle Nicole bag, thrifted bracelets, random sunglasses)
 

   My weekend was spent with Zachary in his hometown of Warren, PA. I had fun being a little tourist and even making him feel like a tourist in his own town. Our day was spent enjoying the beautiful weather and gorgeous scenery. There is always adventure waiting for me whenever I spend time with him, and I love it. It makes my escapes from the city worth it. I even got to enjoy some Tim Hortons, which I was first introduced to by Marcy. Sometimes I feel like I am living two different lives, but a part of me likes it that way sometimes. Let's just say I am half and half. Half city girl and half country girl. Wait, did I just say that?

Lots more pictures will be showing up here of the beautiful things I got to see near Warren.

VINTAGE CLOTHES AND BRICK SIDEWALKS

Yesterday, my afternoon was spent in Leesburg with my best friend Marcy. I finally got to spend time with her after the busyness of the holidays. We walked around the cute little downtown area and found some amazing vintage, antiques, and cafes. I had been wanting to check out the are for awhile now, and it was great! Although, I did buy a sweater from one of the thrift stores and somehow left the bag in another store. I swear I am getting old and losing my mind.. haha. I did leave the town with one thing though. We both bought these gold stretch bracelets, as you can see above. They have now become our "friendship" bracelets. 

Oh, and I am so excited ONE TREE HILL is back!! Marcy and I watched the season premiere last night. Definitely my favorite show ever, and I am so sad this is the last season. It's sure to bring lots of drama and tears!

LIGHTS ALONG THE CREEK

So today I FINALLY felt a little better after having strep throat since Tuesday night. I never realized how bad strep throat was-- I literally felt like I was slowly dying. Thank goodness for doctors and antibiotics! This afternoon, my mom and I walked around downtown Frederick and along Carroll Creek. This is probably one of my favorite spots. Especially during the holidays because of the pretty lights. Oh, and check out that gorgeous sky!!

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, which means it is almost 2012! Cannot believe it, but I am very excited for this new year. I am also excited to not be working tomorrow! Time to write down my New Year's resolutions and find out what will be in store for me.

REFINERY 29 X SMU HOLIDAY PARTY

(wearing: vintage striped button-up, velvet leggings from random boutique, Charlotte Russe sequence blazer, Danielle Nicole New York bag, borrowed flats, other random and vintage jewelry)

Here are some of my shots from the Refinery 29 and South Moon Under "Let's Holiday" party last night. My friend Carrie joined me, and we enjoyed a night of mingling and shopping. I loved her hot pink tights and headband! The forgetful person I have become left the shoes I originally planned for this outfit at home in MD. Carrie was kind enough to let me raid her closet for a pair of flats. Thanks for saving the day! ;) During the event, my manager sent me on a shopping spree as a thank you for the work I have done interning for them. I ended up with a Free People top and new black sparkly Toms. It made my day and was so very nice of her. Thank you, Taylor and South Moon Under! Cannot believe this semester has already flown by, and it's 

almost Christmas!!

Oh, and yesterday was my last day as an undergrad. I now have my BA in Fashion Merchandising! :)

J BRAND STYLING EVENT

(wearing: thrifted Talbots sweater, Nally & Millie white crochet dress, Diba leopard booties, Michael Kors rose gold watch, other random and thrifted jewelry)

This past Friday night was the Denim Event at South Moon Under in Clarendon. The night was filled with lots of shopping, styling, and socializing. Mary Amons from The Real Housewives of DC was SMU's special guest. She was excited to find herself a pair of J Brand denim and also some SMU merchandise to pair them with. Loving the felt hat she ended up pairing with a bohemian peasant top. J Brand stylists were sizing and fitting shoppers to find the perfect pair. I must say I was pretty impressed with Oscar's talent to make women love a pair of jeans. He definitely added some fun to the evening with his great personality. Apple cider cosmos were served along with cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake that featured the J Brand logo.

Don't forget to shop South Moon Under for 20% off denim during the limited time Denim Event!
