Chris Benz makes the Cut

Chris Benz, a designer of whom ive recently fallen in like with has come out with one of the most smashing unapologetically fun frilly collections i've seen so far this season. full of elegant eclectic forties inspired pieces paired with grandiose voluminous feathers and intricate sheath sequin shrugs, this collection boasts a certain je ne sais quoi. fit for just about any occasion, this collection has something for anyone, whether it be understated day to day chic, or a sexy little number for the night life. something about this collection aims to kill on the runway, which i believe is a very rare feat :)

Fill up my cup.. Mazel Tov!

So i just got done sifting through 40 some emails and up pops my Alcohol Wise follow up survey thats required by all pa state college students. i find this hilarious that this little preventative online interactive program asks me to follow up ... just after i get a citation for underage drinking. i love my life. in filling out the questionaire they ask how many drinks i injest within a typical week...blah blah blah etc etc. At the end of the survey they show my answers in juxtaposition with national statistics...this is one of the charts that pops up...thanks alcohol wise, at least now i know that im 11 times more susceptible to die a harsh and painful death in an alcohol related car crash ...

hahah but the good news is i passed!

i found 2 dollars today on Liacouras Walk ....i picked it up and didnt even bother to see if anyone in my surrounding proximity happened to drop it. i officially feel like a poor college student.

MLIA!

a day of ups and downs...literally.

Whoever invented adidas slides obviously didn't factor in the slipperiness of the cushy material in the soles. As i raced to my 9am this morning i almost took out an enitire aggregate of students making their way to their lectures. i was practically a blur. at approximately 8:52 this morning it happened. my adorable kid sized adidas athletic sandal flew from my foot landed in a puddle and sent me reeling to keep my balance...all of this just happened to occur on a ramp...mlia. humiliated i proceeded to sulk over to my now soggy sandal, slip it back on my foot and squish the rest of the way to Gender in America. naturally my fellow peers pretended not to notice how bad my life sucks but i caught a few smirks splash across a couple of their sleepy faces. bastards. i dont even know why i wear them to class. theyre just so goddamn comfy. but those who decide to go for the comfy athletic footwear look as i did, he/she be warned. possibility of tripping, falling, and/or resulting in wet socks.

SQUiRRELY

It seems like an eternity since i've last seen my pop-pop, but in coming across this image it immediately reminded me of him :) so hilarious...poor pop-pop, we only buy him things with damn squirrels on them bahahahahhaha <3

"Darry...Our names are so Similar!"

playing for us :)

one of his new songs - Philadelphia

So last week my suite-mate katie brought home one delicious slice of musician. he is the real deal in my opinion. playing shows all around the philadelphia and south eastern PA, Darry Miller and his band East Hollow are easily my new underground indie obsession. We were lucky enough for a private concert, complete with a bottle of merlot and endless conversation into the early hours of the morning <3

"You Can't Text Message Breakup"

this is for YOU <3

First ya twist it. Then ya lick it. Then ya dunk it.

In Light of starting my very first blog, and the fact that this monumental moment happens to fall on the day after the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting. I’m not Jewish, but i find this a minor detail unimportant. What does stir up some thought is that on the day of repentance i find that as of late all i’ve been doing is the exact opposite: indulging and sinning.

I’m so not chosen for a reason.

And so I’ve decided to take a different route and reflect on the things I’ve done wrong and have no desire to repent for. I’ve got enough Christian guilt as it is.

10. Borrowing my sister’s clothes without asking.


Sorry katie, Julie and Colby .. the years of apparel snatching were well worth the cat fights :)

9. Indulging in fast food gluttony . At any hour of the day.


3 am. Mcdonalds. 9:30 pm Burger King. 10 am Wendy’s. The freshman 15 never tasted so good.

8. Exceeding my budget to buy expendables.


It’s not like I need groceries. clothes and fashion mags are far more fulfilling.

7. Skipping class to sleep.


okay so im a month in to college and i’ve already missed some classes. nbd. i learned my lesson to set the alarm to the AM and not PM. Not going to feel guilty for those extra z’s over watching a video on gender roles in Gender in America. Barbie, bad. I get it. I can find it on YouTube, right?

6. Lying about having a boyfriend to get out of a date.


Yeah, sorry I have this super protective boyfriend that won’t let me even text other boys.

5. Staying out til 3 AM. On a weekday. 


RDTs are the new Fridays.

4. Using that emergency debit card for a General Cho emergency.


“they didnt accept diamond dollars…what was i supposed to do... reject the stir fried deliciousness?”

3. Shamelessly Facebook-stalking.


My roommate can attest to fact that the ratio of hours fbook stalking to those spent studying are pathetically in negative correlation. but hey, just making sure you still have more chins than quality personality traits. dont judge. i know you do it too.

2. Getting a citation for underage drinking a month into my freshman year.


If it happened in two years it wouldn't count.

1. Telling friends I’m sick/in class and can’t go out to grab food in order to stay in and watch movies with my real best friend: popcorn M&Ms. 


Okay, maybe saying I got hit with the swine stick was a little overboard.
