Sunshine and a Little Pink

Yesterday was such a gorgeous day here that it put me in the most amazing mood! I love, love, love the sunshine. And even though it was only 58 degrees, I made up a cup of coffee and settled in on my back porch to catch up on some reading! It was a beautiful and relaxing afternoon, and sometimes the best music to listen to are the songs the birds sing when the weather is especially nice. Am I right?

What I'm really excited for is summer. Not only will the sun be out, but I'll also be able to really focus on this little thing! I've got some plans for Class and Sass over the summer, and we're coming up on our six month anniversary at the end of this month! Stay tuned as I'm trying to set up something fun to celebrate, a giveaway perhaps? ;)

All I Think is Mexico...

So after spring break, we're kind of in the home stretch. And I just realized yesterday that I only have one final (granted, it's on the last day of finals... because, well that's just my luck). Ignoring that little tidbit though, I basically decided that I'm officially done school April 30th. It's SO close! But so far away. It's also the most aggravating feeling in the world. I feel like I have senioritis and I'm not even a senior. Whoops!

Moving on though, last week was basically torture scrolling through my Instagram feed and seeing loads among loads of pictures of paradise. Key West, Cancun, the Dominican Republic, oh, they all looked so nice! Needless to say it put my wanderlust into full throttle and two of my best friends and I booked a trip to Mexico this June. To be followed directly by my family trip to Disney! Last summer was amazing, and I knew it'd be hard to beat, but I don't know... this summer's looking pretty good so far.

In other news, I'm broke again...

But oh well! One of the perks of working three jobs is that I know I have a steady inflow of cash coming in. So yay! My anxiety attacks related to lack of funds have officially subsided. And now all I have to really focus on is making sure I get through the next six weeks of school (which is already proving to be an issue as I took a "mental health" day yesterday.) Professors give out freebies for a reason, right? The reason being they understand how vital spending a day online shopping is to a girl. But don't worry! I haven't clicked "purchase" on anything, yet.

Kate Spade Spring 2014

I know NYFW is in full swing for Fall/Winter 2014 collections, but right now all I'm thinking is spring, spring, spring! And while I have been following the shows happening this week (I'm currently loving Rebecca Minkoff's collection and Rebecca Vallance), I decided now is an appropriate time to start planning for the warmer months that, fingers crossed, lay ahead!

The other day I was sitting at our lunch table, and I pulled my agenda, wallet, and phone out of my bag. (All are Kate Spade because clearly I have an obsession.) And one of the girls who sits with us said, "Wow, Emily, do you like Kate Spade or something?" Cue the laughter. I'm obsessed. Season after season, the collections manage to perfectly balance elegance and girl power, the two things I feel embody the modern woman. So, it shouldn't come as a shocker that my favorite collection from spring 2014 is Kate Spade's. Oh, to be rich!

Bon Voyage!

 I've been eyeing this clutch since I first set my eyes on it...

Places to Go, People to See

Now, if you knew that the spring collection was inspired by Deborah Lloyd's travels in Europe, then you probably aren't surprised that I'm head over heels for this collection. Especially given the post I wrote just last week! I've still got a serious case of wanderlust and this line makes me so, so, SO excited for spring and summer. And even more than that? All the fabulous adventures that come with them! As always, Deborah Lloyd and her team nailed it.
