B&W OOTD

Madewell flannel, Free People jeans, Sam Edelman booties, Urban Outfitters bag and bobby pins, Michael Kors watch, Dannijo bracelet

I've found that since I have started living in NYC, I only wear black, white, and grey (gray? I don't think I'll never use the right one).  I try to wear color, but I find that the easiest way to get dressed is a lack of color head to toe.  So when I packed to come home for Thanksgiving, I literally didn't bring anything with color.  Not one thing.  Not sure how I feel about that yet but I have decided I am in love with this outfit.  The flannel is so comfy and and it is my new favorite thing.  I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving, and do let me know in the comments of my video what you would like to see me give away when I reach 1,000 subscribers ;)

Woah not even sure I remember how to write one of these things.  As you may have noticed (because I know you are all very observant), I was in Aruba last week for spring break, hence the lack of posting/social media interaction/general stalker internet presence. I was planning on posting a full Aruba Photo Diary post, but the majority of my time there was spent doing water activities, and because I'm super smart I didn't bring a waterproof camera, so my thrilling adventures of tubing, snorkeling, jet skiing, and general spring break craziness must be left to your imagination. I had the most amazing trip and I'm devastated that I won't be able to go next year because of university. C'est la vie, first world problems, blah blah blah. 

Anyway, here are some of the outfits I wore on my nights out on my trip. I wasn't able to shoot all of them as the weather there was a bit crazy and sometimes the wind was too extreme for a clear shot. Editing these photos made me overly excited for summer fashion though. I have decided that I need to invest in approximately 50 more rompers because this one from Mink Pink is my new favorite thing ever. What are you excited to wear for summer? 

Hope you are all having a great week!

Beach Day

Free People top, shorts, bag, and bra, Madewell sunnies, House of Harlow 1960 necklace, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch

Thought I would warm you up with some beach shots if you are still somewhere cold! These were taken at my aunt's gorgeous beach club in West Palm.  I actually really dislike the beach in general, but it has certainly been a nice break from the 2 feet of ice back home.  I have been in Florida the past few days visiting my grandparents, but tonight it's back to New York, for buckets of rain (and apparently more snow tuesday?!).  Hope you all had a great week:)

Two Thousand Thirteen

I feel like everyone is writing about how amazing 2013 was, but to be honest, 2013 was pretty crappy for me, so I am not going to sit here and write about how much I am going to miss it, because I certainly will not.  The second half of my junior year of high school consisted of nothing but SATs, SAT2s, ACTs and AP tests, my summer was controlled by driver's education, lifeguarding, and the college search, and so far my senior year has been a mountain of college application stress, difficult classes, and way too many club and work responsibilities that I wasn't really prepared to handle.  Despite how much 2013 really sucked for me, I have really high hopes for 2014.  I am going to graduate and start a new life at college, and I can't remember ever being so excited about something as I am about that.  

One great aspect of 2013 has been this blog.  At the start of the year, I was only two months in to blogging, as you can tell by my terrible picture quality.  But I am sure you can see the difference when I finally bought a DSLR camera and got a little more confident in my posing abilities.  I have really enjoyed blogging this year, and I cannot wait to see what 2014 brings (hopefully some more time to write and post more often).  A massive thank you to all of you who read and comment on this blog, it seriously means so much to me and I appreciate every single one of you!

I hope you all had a better year than I did, and happy new year to you!  Here's to a better 2014. 

Now, I'll be the first to admit that my crap year was mostly my fault, as much as I would just love to blame my teachers, my parents, the system, whatever.  I get myself crazy with stress, and I make a big deal of even the smallest things.  My one and only new years resolution is to be better.  To be a better daughter, sister, friend, student, athlete, club president, blogger, human.  And I think that is a resolution I can actually stick to. 

Happy new year, 

Sophie

All Madewell Everything

Madewell top, pants and ring, B by Brian Atwood espadrilles, Banana Republic headband, 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch

Not much time to write at the moment as I am currently drowning in homework (didn't someone, somewhere once say that senior year was supposed to be fun?), but I wanted to do a quick post in this look that I wore to school last week.  I have found that my wardrobe is quickly becoming primarily Madewell clothes (whereas, two years ago, it was 95% Free People).  I recognize that, in this post, my shoes are not Madewell, but believe me I do own three pairs from there that would have suited this look as well.  Not sure if my obsession is justified because their clothes are so beautiful or a problem because they are so overpriced. An ongoing dilemma. 

Also, for reasons unknown, two of the videos on my YouTube channel were randomly deleted and re-uploaded by YouTube last night.  They both lost all of their views, likes, and comments, so I would really appreciate if you guys would click on these two links so I can get the views back to where they were before. Thank you!!
