</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's been a restful time at home, I've watched some TV, played some piano, done a little shoe shopping... and I love seeing my family, if only for a few days.

If it makes a difference, I've had my reasons - I was sick all last weekend, culminating in my visit to the always-lovely Student Health Center on Monday, where I was tested for mono and strep (considering how much better I'm feeling now, I'm going to say they're negative, but it was pretty bad there for awhile). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Dressing well wasn't exactly happening, as me getting out of bed was a task in itself. It was skinny jeans and a tshirt for a few days, but now that I'm home I plan to start being a real person and putting thought into what I wear again! But just to remind you all that I still exist, here are a few photos from when Nicole and I had our <b>roommate date to the ballet</b> last Friday:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sorry that you've already seen this outfit before, in light of my sickness I was in bed until right about 5 minutes before we left, then put on the first nice outfit I could think of (<i>pet peeve: people who don't dress nicely for the theater, it's the worst right?</i>) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We started with an <b>extra-classy dinner at Chipotle</b> (we were feeling like tacos, no judgement), then walked down the waterfront to the Kennedy Center where we saw a beautiful production of <i>Snow White</i> - <b>with costumes designed by Jean Paul Gaultier, so basically it was magical!</b> Then we walked down to Founding Farmers, a really cool restaurant near George Washington University, and got a late dessert with their "Mousse Bowl for Two." <i>And by two, they meant approximately four</i> (see photo of me looking defeated with the half-eaten bowl). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The only sad part was that I was sick and couldn't stay up to watch a full movie afterward, but otherwise it was a lovely evening with my even-lovelier roommate :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope you're all having a great week, I'm glad to be back!</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">With the weather getting warmer every day, how much longer will I be able to wear my sweaters, my variuos <strike>copious</strike> pairs of boots, or my oversized sweaters?

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So yeah. I'm really tired and can't think of anything else to write about. Went to the midnight premier of <i>The Hunger Games </i>last night, got into bed around 4 am, then got up at 8:30 for 3 or so hours of classes... <b>It's been a rough morning</b>.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">And by "it," I mean <b>spring!</b> It has been absolutely gorgeous here in DC for the past week or so. Unfortunately, that makes it harder for me to do outfit posts, as for some reason I feel inherently less creative when it comes to the summer months but hey - <i>who can complain when you get to spend lazy afternoons napping on the lawn?</i> This past weekend was full of that (<b>mostly to combat my dorm's second early-morning fire drill in the past month or so, but that's not the point...</b>) and I have to say, it's making it difficult to focus on work! Hopefully after a bit longer we'll all get used to the sunshine and warmth and maybe even return to the library on weekend afternoons - though that sounds doubtful to me right now...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's crazy how fast this semester has gone! We only have about 5 academic weeks or so left, and then <b>I will officially be halfway through my college experience!</b> I honestly can't believe it... unfortunately, the approaching end of the year means more and more work - which I have to return to now. So good night all, hope you had a great start to your week! </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Me wearing a striped dress - <i>real surprising right?</i> Well, there's a funny story to go along with them today: so I was wearing the first one for a few hours this morning, when I went to the dining hall for breakfast and then stayed there through lunch to study. At one point, I got up to go to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and <i>oh god</i><b> - yes, yes you can see my pink and black polka-dot underwear</b>. I frantically called Nicole and told her to come to Leo's with new underwear and/or another dress, preferably at that exact minute. Then I scurried back to a table to wait for her, getting absolutely no studying done until she came, despite my Russian midterm tomorrow (<i>one of the reasons why this is a short post devoid of actual me-photos</i>). Fun, right? Yet another <b>one of the many, many times that I wonder why I don't have my own TV show. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, this isn't technically official yet or anything, but I'm going to tell you all a secret - <b>I will most likely be spending my summer in Moscow!</b> In preparation for my time in Russia<i>/avoiding my homework</i>, what did I do this afternoon but look up Russian fashion and shopping!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">While poking around, I found a couple things - one, unfortunately, <b>Russian vintage stores seem to be sorely lacking</b> (or if they aren't, they are seriously underadvertised/hard to locate using the web). Secondly, however, while reading an article on young Russian designers I discovered Alexander Terekhov! The photos above are from his Spring/Summer collection, which is filled with beautiful patterns and breezy silhouettes. <i>And may I suggest you go to his website and look up his Pre-Fall collection?</i><b> It has everything I could ever want</b> <b>- </b>a.k.a muted colors, simple silhouettes (but with unique little details), pops of lace, and gorgeous coats<b>.</b> So maybe I'll find some interesting clothing in Russia yet? We'll see!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Since coming back to school life has been absolutely insane, a.k.a absolutely no time for outfit posts. But the good news is it's absolutely gorgeous outside! As in, today it was 75 degrees, and tomorrow I'm going to try my best to take outfit pictures - <i>in shorts</i>. But now, I'm off to bed, so night all!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Lots of detail shots, not many showing my face</i> - Natalie wasn't the best at capturing the few normal<i> </i>facial expressions I managed to put on tonight while taking photos. However, finally got to wear my adorable lace dress we got on our trip to Canada! I have to say, it's a bit shorter than I remember. <b>Of course, all dresses I wear are short...</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And speaking of hemlines, we picked up a few professional-looking pieces at Banana Republic today for my internship this summer, and I've discovered I don't do well with longer hemlines. Literally the closer something gets to my knee, the weirder I feel about it. Unfortunately, my practically-a-shirt sundresses that are oh-so-lovely and breezy in the summer won't really work in a business environment. <i>Sigh</i>. <b>Also sigh, tomorrow is my last day at home!</b> I can't believe how quickly spring break has gone by (and how horribly I've done at posting during it). And alas, my first week back at school will be absolutely insane, so chances of me actually posting regularly? <i>Slim.</i> Promise I'll try my best though - good night!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's been forever since I last posted - <i>and as I am aware of the extreme distress that caused each and every one of you, I deeply apologize </i><strike>and hope you can sense sarcasm over the Internet</strike>. But guess what? <b>I'm home!</b> Since I last posted (sigh, on Tuesday), I had a stressful last few days of school, but then I had what will probably be the loveliest weekend of my life in Palm Springs! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I flew out bright and early Friday morning (<i>a.k.a didn't sleep Thursday night and took a 3:30am Super Shuttle to the airport</i>) to Denver, where I met up with the rest of the gang and flew on to Palm Springs. From there we headed to La Quinta Resort and checked into the cutest little <i>casitas </i>(that's what they call their hotel rooms, which are in little white buildings grouped around miniature pools and courtyards). <b>As you can see from the photos above, it pretty much looks like a movie set </b>(and in fact, it was a popular vacation spot for the stars back when it was built in the 20s). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We had a weekend filled with spa-ing, eating good food, and laying by the pool - really, does it get any better than that? And now I'm back in Minnesota for a few days of sleeping, reading, and working out <i>(and pretty much nothing else, if I have anything to say about it)</i>. I promise to get some outfit posts up soon, but in the meantime I hope you are all having a great week, and happy March!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know I'm a little late considering London Fashion Week ended just about a week ago, but now that I finally have some free time to look through the fall shows I just felt the need to show some looks from Mary Katrantzou - the artistry and intricacy that go into her prints are really just astonishing! I love looking through the London shows, as there is so much more freedom and whimsicality that go into their collections as opposed to the, <i>albeit more wearable</i>, much more sales-driven New York shows (I mean, this isn't true across the board, but have you looked at the Central Saint Martins show yet? <b>Fascinating, but probably not going to be seen walking down your average street any time soon</b>). </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I haven't really been a fan of the peplums that have been cropping up all over lately, but surprisingly Katrantzou kind of makes me like them - that sleeveless dress I showed second with the box-like drop waist or the gown at the end? Absolutely gorgeous, <i>and if I had a spare couple thousand dollars sitting around, I'd wear both in a heartbeat.</i> And back to her prints - the ornamental lawn dress? <b>How amazingly detailed is that?</b> It's really quite breathtaking.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And there end my raptures on Mary Katrantzou. To give you a little update on my life, today I went down to the new pie shop near Georgetown and bought myself a miniature pumpkin pie, then went back to my room to watch some How I Met Your Mother. <i>So, needless to say, it's been a pretty satisfactory afternoon.</i> Hope you're all having a lovely week! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I was looking at all the pictures of this outfit and I was struck by how many stripes there were!

Note their usage with a dress, not pants, as that makes my legs look less stumpy. <b>These descriptions of myself are getting less and less attractive. </b>I should really stop trying to explain the thought processes beyond my outfits.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">All I really have to say about my life right now is that <b>I can't wait for spring break.

<div style="text-align: center;">So yesterday the weather people just gave up on telling us the weather. As in literally, my phone said "<i>A high of 70, a low of 37, and there's a chance of rain</i>" - how do you get dressed for that!? I was wearing this outfit <i>sans </i>tights for most of the day with my moccasins, had a brief jaunt out in my rainboots, and tossed my leather jacket over it all (in combination with the Fryes I looked a bit like a biker chick). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So this weekend my friend Beth came down from Fordham to see me, and it's been such an amazing time! We've pretty much been going non-stop since her bus arrived Friday evening - <i>I have to say, we've done a pretty good job fitting everything in. </i>Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day, so we walked around the National Mall, where a lot of these photos were taken (<i>anyone else notice the Gilmore Girls reference in the second photo?</i>). Saturday night we walked over to the H Street area where we grabbed dinner and <b>some ridiculously delicious pie</b> (I believe the actual restaurant name, fittingly enough, was "Dangerously Delicious") and went to H Street Playhouse for <i>what may be the creepiest version of "Peter Pan" to ever be staged</i>. Creepy, but good.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The food pictures are from this morning's excursion down to the Eastern Market/Capitol Hill neighborhood, where we wandered the stalls and food vendors at the market, then hit up this adorable little consignment shop where I picked up a great leather jacket - <i>so get ready for some pictures of that, coming soon...</i> Then we went for a late lunch with Colleen, her roommate, and her boyfriend Richard, who was also in town visiting this weekend. I had the best burger of my life, and after topping it off with an always-delicious Baked and Wired cupcake, <b>I may never eat again. </b>Except we're going to watch a movie tonight, so of course I will. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope everyone else has had a lovely weekend, enjoy the day off tomorrow! (Except apparently no one else gets President's Day off but Beth and I?) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> Once again, oh so long since I last posted. But don't you love my vest? My grandma knitted it for me a few years ago - she said for Christmas that she'd knit us each one thing and let us pick a piece from the catalog. <b>I of course asked for the men's vest.</b> I like oversized knits, whats new.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, fun stories you've all missed since I last posted. Yesterday morning I got a rude wake-up call at about 5 am when my building's fire alarm went off. I guess its the special alarm to make sure everyone wakes up, <i>but it pretty much just sounded like a foghorn. </i>I literally fell out of bed I was so startled, and then I was just so freaked out that I couldn't find my glasses and didn't really think the whole middle-of-the-night-in-February thing through, so I just put on flip flops to go with the shorts I'd been sleeping in. Walked outside, <b>it was 10 degrees. There was snow on the ground.</b> Let's just say it was interesting.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Why am I still awake? </i>After waking up with a serious twinge in my throat this morning I've decided that I need to get more sleep this week. <b>Unfortunately for me Economic Statistics exists, so that may happen. </b>Good night!</div><br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Can I just say that I can't wait for spring break? School can be just <i>oh so tiring, </i>so if it could just be three weeks from tomorrow and I could be in Palm Springs, that would be great. Well, we can have a little pit stop at next weekend, when <b>my friend Beth is coming to visit me!</b> I'm using her visit as an excuse to get out into the city and do all the things I want to do but never seem to be able to... Anyways, Nicole and I are watching Gilmore Girls and I can't seem to make myself focus, so good night!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> When was the last time I posted outfit pictures <i>that were taken on the correct setting while it was still light outside? </i><b>I know, probably never</b>. But that doesn't matter, because now it's happened! I brought my camera along to lunch today then forced Nicole to make a pit-stop next to our dorm building for a quick photo shoot - and in case you were wondering, those windows behind me face into a classroom <b>that had students in it while we were taking pictures</b>. Worse than sneaking around outside the Jesuit residence? <i>Not sure...</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was honestly contemplating doing laundry sooner than my habitual 3-4 weeks just so that this shirt would be clean again. I'm in love! The chambray, the oversize fit - <i>I don't even mind that I think it was called a tunic</i> (for those of you who don't know, I <b>despise </b>tunics). And this dress is obscenely short, but I just couldn't resist the denim with the deep green with the pseudo-leopard print shoes, in case you couldn't tell <b>I really love this outfit!</b> That was really obnoxious, done now. Time to do some work so I can go to bed at a reasonable hour again tonight! Hope you all had a lovely start to your week :)</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Above is just a picture from the Sartorialist from a bit back that I enjoyed, <i>personally I would never have the guts to wear the vest but it's fabulous, no?</i> Also, I think we've discussed how much I love burgundy, as well as my obsession with boots - <b>so you all know how I feel about these shoes. </b>I just realized I haven't posted in forever and thought I'd check in! Yesterday I was literally in jeans and a sweatshirt all day (kills me too), and although today I look pretty cute for a Sunday, my roommate is locked in the library so I have no one to play photographer...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Spent today trying to catch up on the work I avoided all weekend/attempting to watch the Super Bowl at my friends' apartment - <b>did you know when you stream the game from online, they don't show you the halftime show?</b> <i>Yeah, we were traumatized too</i>. Also, my friend Emily's baby nephew Max came over today, he is literally the cutest thing ever! I would have literally spent the whole afternoon bouncing him and playing with him if only he didn't have to go home... Why aren't there more babies on college campuses? <i>They make such good stress-relievers</i>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Not looking forward to starting another week, but good news is that I think I've been productive enough this evening that I get to go to bed! Sweet dreams all :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> This week has been going quite well so far (<i>knock on wood?</i>), I managed to stay much more on top of my reading this time around, and just generally seem to have more free time.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">But another note - how bright is the shirt I'm wearing right now?! <b>Aren't you all proud? </b>I mean, it was a Christmas present from my sister and I probably would never have taken something that bright off the racks but -<i> as we've seen with </i><a href="http://alisonscampusfashion.blogspot.com/2011/09/green.html">my seafoam blouse</a> - <b>give me color in oversized, sheer blouse format and I can't help but like it</b>! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In other news, it was absolutely gorgeous today in DC (as in, 60 degrees gorgeous) and I walked to Safeway for the first time this year! Highlight of the trip? <i>The french bread and nutella I bought for myself</i> - now if only Nicole would get back to the room for our late-night TV-and-snack time, it would be a perfect day! Good night all :)</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So what has probably been the busiest week of my life <b>is finally over</b>! I'm back in my room after performing at our campus's AIDS benefit concert (<i>hence the red skirt and shiny vest</i>) and watching a movie before going to bed <b>without setting an alarm for the morning</b>. Yes, I am pretty excited. And guess what? Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of me breaking my foot! Can you believe it's been that long? For those of you who haven't been reading my blog for long, go back into the archives of last spring and take a look at some of the outfit posts with my cast... <i>it's amusing.</i> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But for now, the roommate and I are watching a movie! So good night all, and have a lovely weekend :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> So, <i>to put it mildly</i>, yesterday was a busy day - went to dinner at 5:30 and didn't get back to my room until 2:00 am. And the worst part is: <b>Nicole and I haven't watched tv together for days</b>. Considering my past three semesters of utter laziness, this is honestly kind of a traumatizing fact. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wasn't really feeling up to dressing myself this morning, so honestly I just threw this together in like 5 minutes with the usual formula - <i>skinny jeans, flats, cardigan, jewelry</i>... I suppose since I graduated from high school and the requisite pleated navy skirts, this has become my new "uniform" (<i>add in an oversize button down and you have me in a nutshell</i>). But as the weather appears to be improving <b>- did I mention that it snowed this past weekend? </b>It was amazing - I have some ideas for the rest of this week, we shall see...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it's the lack of sleep,<i> but I really don't have anything else witty to say</i> - so I suppose I will leave you all with a good night!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Crew skirt; Frye boots</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> As you may or may not have noticed, these pictures look slightly different than my usual photos (<i>if you didn't notice the difference in my facial expressions, I'm a little worried</i>/<i>may never blog again</i>). So I wore this outfit approximately a week ago, and loved it so much that I left it out on my desk chair trying to coordinate times with Nicole for a photoshoot until I finally gave up and we snapped a few <strike>try 30</strike> pictures in the hallway...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Basically my weekend has been insane, <b>I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off since approximately 9:00 am Friday</b>. But now Nicole and I are <i>finally</i> back in the room at the same time and watching Glee! So that's all I'm going to say in this post, good night :)</div><br />
