One Day To Go...

Tomorrow is my sister's birthday, and then on Friday she and I are packing our luggage into her car and driving down to Columbia to meet our road trip companions, and then we will all arrive in St. Augustine, Florida not long after that. Needless to say (though I'll say it anyway) I am super excited about this trip!
One thing about it that will pose a challenge, though, is packing. It will be absolutely important to pack lightly due to the fact that we are cramming five women, plus all of their luggage, into a tiny Hundai. One thing that I am absolutely determined to pack and wear at some point on this trip is a gorgeous long turquoise vintage silk wrap skirt that I have been just dying to try out. I feel like Florida will be a perfect testing ground. Other than that, I haven't the slightest idea of what to bring, so a good chunk of my time tomorrow will be devoted to figuring that out. Aside from that, here is my to-do list for tomorrow:
1) Take math placement test (ew)
2) Get some ingredients for Kate's birthday cake plus buy the latest issue of Foam magazine.
3) Begin making cake!
4) Have burrito lunch with Dad and Kate
5) Surprise Birthday Outing for Kate!
6) Finish making cake
7) Pack!
8) Kate's birthday crab dinner
9) Cake and present presentation
10) Get some well-deserved zzz's

Looks like I'll be a busy girl tomorrow. Goodnight!

Subtley Smokey

Rocked the smokey eye all day today.
It makes me feel so mysterious.

Missing NYC

I just got back from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Walking in the city, amid cracking and crumbling urban building, brick everywhere you look, and patches of lush flora, makes me miss New York. I want to go back for a week or so on my own time, with my own agenda.

More Wanted

A kimono jacket, like this one from Free People.

This creamy silk blouse.

A pretty pleated skirt, like this one I saw on That's Chic.

Wanted:

Bell sleeved black lace seventies-esque mini dress

Long spacey dress

...And a good pair of jet black skinny jeans, like these at urban outfitters.

That's all for now.

New Obsession

Kate and I watched the first few episodes of season two of Buffy today (we went through season one last week) and in season two episode one there is this band, Cibo Matto, playing at the Bronze. Every time I watch that episode I'm thinking, "I love this band soo much!" So today I looked them up on itunes and got some of their songs. As you can tell by the title of this post, I'm definitely enjoying them. Click here to hear one of their songs. The 90's had the best music...
