Secret (fashionable) Santa

The second annual secret santa gift-giving party between some friends and I occurred last night and it was a lot of fun! Hot Chocolate with a splash of peppermint schnapps, freshly baked cookies, a classic christmas movie in the background, and good friends for company made it perfect!

My secret santa was my good friend Wayne! I eat almost every meal with Wayne, he's a great friend and must know me pretty well based on his gift! A tea mug and a square scarf!! He is also probably my most fashionable friend to date!

Favorite Things

Urban Outfitters, $68, plum (shown above), brown, black, teal, mustard, and kelly green.
For those who want a stylish bag that can withstand more than a wallet and maybe an umbrella like a lot of satchels out there, this bag is for you. It can probably hold your entire life and it looks perfect for class with both handles and a strap! And, because it is not made of a loose fabric this bag seems to be pretty durable. For vegans out there, it's not leather which makes it even better! This is already on my Christmas list. MUST HAVE IT.




Urban Outfitters, $39.99
Pleated knit skirt with a little color, perfect with tights and ankle boots for winter.




American Eagle Outfitters, $119.95
It seems to me that quilted puffer jackets are back in style. I distinctly remember having a HUGE puffer in elementary school similar in color to a school bus. The neutral charcoal, slim tailoring, and belted waist keep this coat from becoming a burden and the length keeps you nice and warm.


And, because it rains ALL the time here in Williamsburg:

Ch'ch'changes!

So I'm sure we've all heard about the election. Aside from any party affiliations, this for many people is one if not the most important election they will ever vote in. This election was my first presidential election and I was SO excited to be able to vote. Whether or not you like Barack Obama or not, this race was truly historic in many ways and I for one am both excited and nervous. I voted for Barack Obama, I think he can turn things around, but he has a lot of responsibility to face and there is a possibility he could let us down. Let's hope he does a great job, I think he can!

For all who voted, AWESOME. For those who didn't, Next time!

Barack Obama is our 44th President. I almost couldn't believe it! I'm so happy!

Some favorite findings

Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de Parfum: probably the sexiest fragrance I've ever come across. Every review is shining, and I am planning on buying it when I have some more coin to throw around. Definitely an investment.



L.A.M.B bag from CUSP- a pattern that works for all seasons!




Taffeta coat from BCBG

Nice Day, Nice Events

What a GORGEOUS day here in the burg! I love days like this- cool, crisp air, warm sun, beautiful campus. I felt like lying in the sunken gardens all day, but instead I went to Rock Climbing I with Professor Kim Whitley. A challenging class (imagine me climbing a wall? unbelievable) but also a lot of fun, today was our last class before our trip this weekend to Shenendoah National Park. We tried our luck at Repelling down the parking garage next to Adair and it was by far the best class we've had! It was a perfect day, I hope we will see this same weather on saturday and sunday.

Tonight's on campus activities include a showing of Woody Allen's film "Love and Death" as part of the Leo Tolstoy film series presented by the Russian Dept(Washington 201 5:15), Homebrew (Lodge 1, 8pm), and the Media That Matters Film Festival (Crim Dell Meadow 8-10pm).

Enjoy!
