Anna Wintour

CBS apparently will not let me embed this to my blog, but if you are a Vogue reader and missed the 60 minute special on its ever elusive and extremely glamorous EIC, you must check this out! I find it particularly hilarious when the journalist interviewing her, Morley Safer, comments on the "tailoring" of various interviewed designers' suits. Here it is!

I'm Back!

I've returned from my mini-vaycay. Well I guess 10 days isn't technically mini, but I was only away from home for 5 of them!

I spent Memorial Day on Cape Cod... I had never been before, but had heard many good things. I was very pleased with the under-developed nature of the Cape... many of my favorite beach locations have become overcrowded due to so much new development and expansion of resort communities, but the Cape still seemed fairly rustic (although of course it has its share of beach clubs and golf courses.)

This is a picture I took from the boat... we weren't sailing, but aren't sail boats lovely?

After a weekend filled with movie-seeing (Angels and Demons... I didn't even check the time once=a good movie), boating, reading, eating and relaxing, I am excited to be home and back on the treadmill as I prepare to start work in a few weeks. Until then, I have to finish Bitter is the New Black... as QueenBee mentioned, I too have an affinity for chronology and I'm dying to read Pretty in Plaid... so I started at the beginning. Let me just say, Jen Lancaster is HILARIOUS. I know many of you are already fans and I'm preaching to the choir, but I have literally laughed out loud. It's been a long time since I've laughed that hard from a book. Movies and TV yes, but not a book. I have lots of other books on my list as well, but I'll tell you about them as I get to them... nothing like a little suspense (sadly my own attempts at humor probably won't land me a book deal from this blog a la Ms. Jen).

Happy Official Summer everyone!

All of my study abroad adventures...

On overnight trains were just like this. I promise.

Just Finished...

Just finished this book yesterday... I recommend it to anyone who likes Wally Lamb... aka it has a lot of drama packed into 500 pages... but it was a page turner, covered a lot of interesting issues (AIDs, women's lib, etc) without being preachy and still managed to maintain a realness to the characters. I can't wait til I have time to read Moody's latest... although she is a doctor by trade she is a terrific writer... I'm hooked.

Can't wait for this movie

This is everything I want in a movie...

Hello!

I have been reading some fun blogs for some time now (since last summer?) but have just recently decided (as in, today) that I am brave enough to start my own, albeit relatively anonymously. I am a big reader and not so much a terrific writer, but I look forward to working on those skills here. :) For now, I just want to share some of my favorites and things that make me happy before I start to bore you with the mundane details of life as a college student.

Today, I went to Target to get some dish soap. Of course, I had to browse through the inexpensive accessory selection and found this scarf that could be from J.Crew for $12.99:
Good stuff. Also, in the check-out line, I spotted the magazine we have all (okay, well maybe just I have) been waiting for...As a young woman, I really do look up to Michelle Obama; her fashion sense and personal style, as well as her achievements and strong sense of the right priorities (i.e. her daughters). I know it is not news that she is one the cover or that she is wearing J.Crew in the editorial spread, but I cannot wait to read the story. Will Anna Wintour approve of her many budget-conscious looks... I certainly do because she always looks fabulous. Sadly, I have to wait to peruse this fashion bible (why I have not subscribed by now I can hardly tell you,) until after I have made some headway on my combined paper/oral presentation due on Thursday. Then I get to head home for Spring Break (why does my back always hurt on this drive... perhaps because I have been hunched over my laptop and then the steering wheel for hours on end? Hmmm...)

Now putting on my headphones to my favorite iTunes study mix...
