things you should know

1. I live about a mile away (a two minute drive) from school. Big road, open space, no big buildings allowed. I walk outside from class to class, no elevators, no hallways, just sun. ps. I don’t think I’ll get any use out of my Hunter rain boots!

2.    I am obsessed with my going-away present j.crew bag. I take it everywhere. 

3.   I have a garden! Or at least the start of one. Currently growing: basil, rosemary, cherry tomatoes, snap peas, and aloe. 

4.   My absolute favorite time of the day is after 6 when the sun goes down, the weather is perfect, and it’s usually a little breezy. The palm trees make me feel like I’m on a never-ending vacation, too bad my class work reminds me that I’m not!

I frequently get lost in a web of blogs, but this time I found a boy blog that has ridiculously awesome photos. Check out GtheGentleman.

california, week 2

I spent this week shopping for furniture/apartment stuff (still don't have a couch, but getting there), laying out by the pool, and ordering/waiting for 20+ school books to arrive (for those of you who are working right now, don't be jealous because once classes start I'm pretty sure I'll be putting in more than 40 hour weeks). I wish school would just start already! T-6 days until orientation!! Ps. of course I found a Jersey street in California, only me.

bang, bang, bang

My sister cut her hair and got bangs, I am in love. I wish I had straight hair, I wish I had straight hair, I wish I had straight hair.

Fall is coming and every single magazine on display is making sure I am aware of this. My ticket home for Thanksgiving is booked, until then, my fall/winter coats are going to have to wait.

Dear Lululemon,

I love you. I have worn nothing but you since arriving in sunny California. You are perfect for the-sun-isn't-out-yet mornings, hot days, and 60 degree nights.

Today I discovered that you originated in Vancouver. Canada, I must say, I am very impressed. Unfortunately (but probably for the best) your nearest store is at least 25 miles away. I will undoubtedly see you very soon.

love, love, love,

Dominique
