Today is...

(Zara shirt, Club Monaco straight leg jeans)

I can't remember where I read this phrase, but as I woke up this morning, the first that that came to my mind was: "today is the youngest I'll ever be". So while keeping that in mind, remember this: carpe diem!

dinner for lunch, dessert for dinner

(shirt and cuff bracelet from China; pants, letter necklace, ring from Hong Kong; vintage black necklace from my wonderful cousin; Marc Jacobs sunglasses; grey Wilfrid tights; Aldo pumps; Velvet/cheesecake; mocha affogato)

So I've decided that while I'm responsible for taking care of my kid sis, we're going to break all the rules (or at least some of them). Usually, we eat dinner first, and decide on dessert afterwards depending on how full we are. Today, we had dessert first and decided whether or not to have dinner second. Needless to say, we had desserts all the way (this decision seemed much more reckless when we were deciding on it in the car....lol). Anyways, today's weather was just excellent, I hope the weather will only improve from here, and I definitely hope there's no more snow in store for us! I had a wonderful weekend resting, (since my sis left me at home the entire Saturday (she was at a birthday party)), and am still suffering slightly from jet lag (sleeping at four am, waking up at three pm), but I've promised myself that I WILL finish unpacking and all the cleaning around the house.

The most wonderful thing happened the day that I got back from vacation! I received a notice on my door saying that I missed a package that was delivered and that it would be delivered again the next day. That had me thinking: "hmm, what could that be? How could the sender know that I would be back on that day, and know to send it that day as well?!" Anyways, the package came again the next day, and it turned out to be an envelope. Lo and behold, it was my acceptance letter from FIT in New York! AHHHHH! How wonderful that I came back just in time to get my acceptance letter!

5the plane ride home. I think I saw the sunrise/the appearing of the sun?

I haven't had time to look through and filter all my pictures from my vacation(there are just too many), so I uploaded some of the pictures I took with my phone. These photos do not do any justice to the wonderful vacation that I had. Soon, I promise, I'll get up off my lazy bum and publish a post with some actual depth! hehe

in the meantime:
