Oh, for the love of Parties, and the love of Rompers. 

love, rudi

After panicking over my math homework,

which basically reinforced my already stone-set belief that I will never be able to own anything nice in the 'real world' or live in anything other than near poverty,

I decided to gawk and whimper over beautiful things that I will never own but always want to.

All from my favorite, Anthropologie. 

Online window shopping always depresses me. 

I want so few thiiiiiings :(

Why are they so completely unobtainable?

Last night while procrastinating writing an essay on my values

(could there be a more broad essay prompt, by the way?)

I re-discovered my love for wasting time on fashion blogs.

 ohm. em. gee. 

Shoes, cardigan, sunglasses from gargoyle.

I wish I was rich.

I love love all these photos so much. 

I would really love a print of the last one...

And my lack of an income is making me itch.

I really hate not earning any money- 

not that I spend it often,

but I never seem to have enough to make me comfortable. 

Luckily I'm a professional internet window shopper

and depressing myself by browsing through clothes I will probably never afford 

is a favorite hobby of mine ;).

For example:

I'm feeling pretty weak in the knees now....

I think I'll go lay down.

Good night.

Awww man,

So maybe it's because I've spent the last 48 hours thinking about nothing but clothes,

(my TeenVogue came in the mail and I spent part of the day being interviewed about my closet,

talking about Project Runway,

and getting really excited about the next chance I'll have to play dress up in my room...)

but I find it necessary to post today about

shoes.

Which I'm not usually that into, since I wear the same black flats

But I swear when I get richer and semi famous

I will own these.

All of these.

I think I may be a little too Lolita for my own good.

....dang. Now back to answering questions about the history of relationships between Puritains and

the Native Americans....

Hey!

I've got a few photos for you from my adventures,
but unfortunately,
because my camera is very heavy, I am forgetful, and I am a mediocre blogger,
I forgot my camera in the car for most of the trip.

But I did manage to get a few shots that turned out half decent!
-----------------------------------------------
On the long journey me and Mom and Mel got mustachios and lips







One of my favorite stores in Columbia is Maude V.
I bought a shirt and sweater,
and then a skirt,
and I didn't even feel bad for spending so much moolahs because everything was
so. beautiful.
I'll take a picture of my new clothses in a minute...



And also Mel looked adorable all weekend,
and met a new friend named Eric IMMEDIATELY
who was totally awesome and currently shooting a short film.


And my favorite-est Uncle Mike came to visit us for the day!!!!
Exporing the town and being congenial to college administrators is so much more fun/ easy with him around backing me up.
I seriously love this man.



I met a lot of really amazing girls this weekend, too,
and I didn't not like a single person I met.

The college was amazing, the town was full of adventure, and
I want to be a Stephens girl.

love, rudi

In celebration of the fun-filled night me and Michaela are about to have
(if she ever gets here....who knew cleaning an office could take so loooong?)
I've decided to post a small selection of things
I think
are absolutely gorgeous.
They are all from this wonderful website,
a place I would
love
love
love
to work someday.

And that's another thing- recently I've been thinking a LOT about after college
(rather than just college itself)
and I'm toying with the idea of opening some sort of clothing shop.
Vintage pretties, modern pretties, modern that look like vintage pretties,
pretty pretties,
you get it.

The only gap I have yet to jump is the fact that
although my stlye might be really really good,
no one is really aware of that,
because I always dress so eehh.
But I blame that on the town I'm in. It's awkward to be the only girl in heels while everyone else is in camo shorts or pajama pants.
And not the fun type of awkward, either.

But look at these pictures! They're the preferable view,
not my whiney jibber.

Enjoy! I did!
