Always a Bridesmaid, Never Enough Bridesmaid Heels

August 3, 2016
Pemaquid Lighthouse

Have you ever went home for the weekend and everything was so perfect that it made you wonder why you even moved out in the first place? That was my life for the past few days. I traveled home for MFB’s bridal shower, but I also squeezed in lunch with my Dad, dinner with my college room mate and her husband, and a belated birthday dinner celebrating me! I’m sad that I had to return to CT, but I have to…

Sur les Pointes

Espadrilles

Twelve weeks ago I was madly searching for the perfect pair of espadrilles to celebrate the start of summer, and now it seems absurd that in four and a half more weeks school will be back in session. Where has the time gone? My plan was to have my research proposal finished, all of MFB’s* bachelorette supplies ordered, and have lost 5 lbs to more comfortably fit into my bridesmaid dress. But I guess sometimes the best laid plans go awry,…

A New York Minute

January 6, 2016
Kate Spade Store Front

I don’t think there’s anything that can replace a classic analog watch as the perfect accessory, no matter how much technology advances. Watches make excellent graduation or anniversary gifts and have the added bonus of being able to be easily engraved; I myself gave this watch to my brother when he recently graduated with his MBA (and given that I’m only a student, it also counted as his birthday and Christmas present). Even better, watches can double as the ultimate fashion…

Borrowing from Luke Danes’ Closet

August 26, 2015
J. Crew Summerweight Utility Jacket

Do you remember the movie Pleasantville? Toby McGuire and Reese Witherspoon get thrown into a black and white TV show, only to throw everything topsy-turvy and cause people to start appearing in Technicolor. Their totally crazy adventure was the result of an odd encounter with a TV repair man, who is sadly not listed in the YellowPages or Angie’s List. To top off Comcast’s reputation for having the worst customer service, never once has a Comcast technician left behind a broken remote…

Wednesday Wish List – Up, Up, & Away!

August 19, 2015
Wedding Balloons

I LOVE BALLOONS! Every birthday I want nothing more than to have someone fill my living room with balloons, but usually people will only bring me one or two. My room mate is fully aware that I use her birthday as an excuse to buy lots and lots of balloons – last year I bought her a giant Olaf shaped one and delivered it to her in lab. Kate Spade has these fantastic oversized Mr. & Mrs. balloons that I…

Wednesday Wish List – Distressed Jeans

July 29, 2015
Madewell

So last week, I ordered these Madewell jeans, hoping I’d love the ripped knees, selvedge denim, or at least the $40 price tag (originally priced $275 , #steal). I go through love-hate relationship with jeans – there’ll be a period of two months where I’ll buy 6 different pairs and then two years will go by before I restart the process all over again. I’ve always struggled with finding a brand of jeans that checked off everything I wanted in my jeans:…

Wednesday Wish List – Burberry Watch

July 15, 2015
Burberry Classic Round 26mm

It seems only fitting that I should be writing about a watch, considering all the time I’ve let pass by while neglecting F&F. Just in case you were super curious, here’s a quick re-cap of everything that’s been keeping me busy the past month: A’s San Juan bachelorette has come and gone, leaving me with three important things: Make sure to pack layers when traveling to warm places, because a cute sun dress does little to keep you warm when…

Wednesday Wish List – Chloé Marcie Mini Shoulder Bag

June 10, 2015
Chloe Marcie Mini

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this enough, but I’m a huge fan of Madewell. Ever since I did my Wednesday Wish List post about their slim boyjeans, I’ve stalked the interwebs almost daily waiting for them to go on sale. It shocked me to see that Net-A-Porter carries Madewell, as I didn’t think they sold anything for less than $500. I was further shocked to see that even though the jeans were full price at both Madewell and Nordstrom,…

Wednesday Wish List – Mar y Sol Tote

May 20, 2015
Mar Y Sol Woven Tote

There’s very few people who I know that aren’t addicted to Pinterest. My room-mate doesn’t even have an account, and up until recently, neither did my Mom. Rarely a day goes by that I don’t scroll through my home page, either liking or saving things that I’ll want to look at in the future. It’s on the days that I freak out about the cost of being in A’s wedding and how I’ll manage to pay for food & rent,…

Not Your Boyfriend’s Jeans

May 13, 2015
Madewell Slim Boyjean Akiva Wash

I feel like it’s been months since I’ve perused Nordstrom’s website. It’s just too much temptation, especially when I’m trying to reduce my spending with A’s bachelorette imminent (bank account, please excuse my Lilly for Target purchases – those were fashion incidentals). Three months ago, maybe even less, Nordstrom started carrying Madewell, a J. Crew affiliated denim company that I love. It’s kind of a funny contrast between Madewell and J. Crew – J. Crew is classic prep while Madewell is…
