Just touched back in NYC after a glorious little road trip to Harvard University (my smarty pants bf had to take his final exam there). I must say...after a full day touring pretty much the best and brightest campus in theee universe, and scouring the lovely, quaint boutiques (esp their very spacious goody-filled LF store) and restaurants (like yummy Oleana!) through Cambridge, MA, I was so bummed out to jump back on the 4-hour Bolt bus ride and wave good bye.

Although I'll always have a soft spot for NYC, sometimes it's nice to immerse yourself in slower-rhythmed, serene environments. I mean even the mere sight of a little bird perched on a chair next to me as we sipped our lattes put me in a good mood. Seriously loved every second. I'm now thinking about pursuing my Masters degree in journalism at Harvard. Pssshhh...in my friggin dreams!

  18. Beautiful photography! I'm so glad I found your blog from your comment on FashionToast!

    BTW, that silver Forever 21 sideways cross ring...I make similar rings and sell them in my Etsy shop (carlyjcais.etsy.com) - the silver ones started selling like crazy last week and I can barely keep them in stock...must be because of Rumi!

    Love your shoes!

  20. hey lady!

    thanks SO much for your comment :) I'm flattered ;) I love the olive jacket with the zara treaded clogs. I have been contemplating these kicks for some time now and I think you may have just sold me on them-- it's between them and another pair i spied at zara as well...wonder which pair is still around in my size lol!

    Exchanging links is not a problem at all ;) and i love the shot with the red background-- phenomenal!


    and my brother spent a summer living in Cambridge-- Boston is one of my fave US cities-- so gorgeous and i'm such a sucker for a great campus-- i went to McGill-- it's also amazing, and worth checking out for a Masters degree ;)
