merry new year!!

Happy New Year to all you wonderful, inspiring bloggers! My blog is seriously dying a slow, painful death.... but I will keep the hope alive.

For now, I hope everyone joins me in the fun tradition of buying all the things you needed for Christmas, and didn't get any of it. Luckily, just about everything on earth is on sale.

HAPPY 2009!!

I definitely recommend Las Vegas as a place to go to unwind. I was able to completely forget about school! And, er, just about everything in general. I'm back home and ready to do some extreme relaxing for the next few weeks.

Everyone have a safe, stylish, and party-filled holiday!

almost un-buried...

haha...don't you just love stupid stock photos?

I have 2 full days left until finals are over. I have almost survived my first semester of law school. Survived...but thrived? We'll see. I feel like I'm just flopping and flailing around. If I can get through Friday, there is a no-holds-barred weekend waiting for me in VEGAS.

the saddest thing in the world

...to this:

second chances

One year ago, I found the holiday sweater of my dreams, online. (Pictured at the end of this post). I waited around, looked in the physical store, and ultimately missed my chance. I honestly thought about the sweater a few times since then...and then today, it appeared again...


here in gray, navy, or red.

Exciting! This had never happened to me before...almost always, once something I loved is gone, it is gone for good. The holidays feel infinitely far away, but the air is chilly and I am in dire need of warmer clothes. This sweater may very well be part of cold-weather wardrobe additions!

'08

Since I couldn't not mention it somehow...

Could you have asked for a more stylish First Lady? She loves Narciso Rodriguez and J.Crew equally; she looks stunning in a cocktail dress or a polished pantsuit. Michelle Obama is just stunning.





..it also doesn't hurt my opinion of her that she is a successful attorney :)

ALIVE...sort of

You know how people say that law school is tough, especially the first year?

wow.

Does anyone know of a remedial law program? Anyone?

Luckily it has been a little more comfortable thanks to Danielle at solestruck. These shoes are great on my 1-mile, uphill walk to class (and of course my 1-mile, downhill walk home too!)

Found here.

It also snowed like crazy today. I'm talking blizzard. (I'm told it was not even close to a true blizzard, but coming from Florida...yeah...blizzard). I walked to class and the snow was falling so fast...I couldn't help but think of this:

...the snow barrel blast level from Donkey Kong Country. I love that game.

I am trying to keep up with the weather, but it is hard. Last week it was 75, this week 25. How will I ever survive the long snowy winter?
