a few of my favorite (fall) things.
p.s. the bread pictured is pumpkin, which is my food crush of the season. i’ve been mixing pumpkin + white chocolate chips into my morning oatmeal, and the result is nothing short of glorious.
fall livin’
for some reason, i had this foolish idea that grades didn’t count in college. i don’t know why i was under this impression, because i was COMPLETELY BALLS OUT WRONG. on any given day, i have about 18x the amount of work i had in high school. i think my poor coping skills RE: this new found stress is causing heart palpitations… or maybe just a lack of sleep.
so while these have been some of the best months of my life, i’ve been SUCKING at time management. (which stresses me out even further. i’m seriously a cloud of nepatism right now.) i really miss erica dagley and jessica johnson - i didn’t think it was possible, but i saw them more when i lived an hour and a half away than i do now. what’s up with that?! that has to change. also, i haven’t been talking to my mom on the phone every day. (we still text every 3 minutes… but still.) and keeping up with people from high school? hard! i didn’t realize that transitioning into ‘adulthood’ doesn’t just… happen.
but on the whole, my life is pretty excellent right now. and i feel lucky that i get to be with the people i do and wake up every morning in a place that i can grow in. and this city isn’t too shabby, i guess.
p.s. the picture is of me on halloween. my costume was ‘little white lies’, which was intriguing in concept, but perhaps poor in execution. i duct-taped… well, little white lies (think “ahh i never got your text”, “you’re so much prettier than her!”, “sorry, that was my last piece of gum”) all over myself. this was awesome until people would read them aloud, and they’d look at me and say “that haircut is so flattering!” and i’d be like “thanks!!!” and then they’d respond with “ha no, i was just reading your shirt.” awkward.
i’ve been digging dark lipstick with no eye makeup lately. this is night violet from MAC’s mattene collection, which is a bit more purple in actuality.
“The gossip is that the couple are planning to buy (or have already bought) a converted firehouse on West 3rd Street together.”
what! the silver fox? in my neighborhood? i can’t even deal. hit a sister up, Coop.
(yeah, i just gave Anderson Cooper the same nickname that Summer Roberts gave Marissa Cooper on the OC. what of it?)
I don’t think my dude friends like hanging out with me.

does anyone rock red lipstick better than this girl? i think not. an inspiration, always.
lately, i’ve outgrown any and all traces of Peter Pan syndrome. (wait, haven’t i been pretending that i’m 26 since i was like, 14? oh yeah.) but seriously, all i do is look at food + apartment design blogs. my newest obsession is a dinner party. i just want to entertain and decorate and uncork bottles of Rosé (because apparently no one drinks Port anymore).

i woke up SO SICK this morning. i’m such a baby when i’m sick. i’m headed home for hangs with my bed.
i’m hoping i’ll be all better soon, because it’s my favorite holiday this weekend! and right now, i literally have no voice. i don’t even sound like Lauren Conrad on steroids, because words don’t come out when i open my mouth.
okay, enough of the negativity. good things are ahead… including hangs with Margaret, who i’m so excited to finally meet!
