Hey you! Check out my first guest post EVER over at The Glamorous Grad Student, it’s your on the go guide for visiting Saratoga Springs, turning point of the revolutionary war (yes, this is probably the only question I got right on the AP History exam). It’s a pretty abbreviated guide, but should definitely fill [...]

For someone in my position (read: below the poverty line) I do a lot of traveling. I’m thinking this is mainly because I don’t go out drinking, which is not really the norm for my age group…or grad students in general.
Consequently I am always trying to master TSA and airline regulations for luggage [...]

While I was in Ireland I discovered that my phone, which had previously worked in other countries, no longer had service. Not having people able to reach me at all times of the day (and night) wasn’t so bad. Unfortunately, however, my phone is also the only time piece I carry…and being as I had [...]

Here’s a collection of outfits from my trip to Ireland. Most important lesson learned? Good, flat, water proof shoes are a must! Even if you’re not climbing around mountains and 3,000 year old forts, many of the roads are cobblestone…and fat chance of making any efficient progress walking down those in stilettos. Various scarfs & [...]

Egads! The 21st was my birthday. In general, I am not a birthday person…I’ve found that I’ve grown more resistant to birthday festivities once I turned 24. I am fairly certain this is a consequence of being a grad student: while my friends are getting engaged/married/having babies/buying houses, my life is pretty much the same [...]

Things worked out so that I was able to take a fairly spontaneous trip to Ireland with my family. So far we’ve hit up Dublin, Blarney (where I made out with a rock, the most action I’ve gotten in a long time), Killarney and Dingle.
I recently went and saw that movie “Leap Year” which is [...]

Jeffrey Campbell Fame 2 Boots in Black, obs. with Red Anthropologie Amarena Dress – trying to decide whether to get this dress in Navy too, opinions?

Gala Darling is spending the entire month of February dedicating her posts & podcasts to radical self love..and I more than kind of think it’s a fab idea. Kind of no surprise as I’m a very hippie centric person. Although it has been argued that even though I wear absurd hats, big ass jewelry, and [...]

Saipua is a family owned soap and flower business out of Brooklyn. Their arrangements are gorgeous and their soap sounds positively luxurious. Sadly they only deliver to Brooklyn and Manhattan, but perhaps I’ll pick myself up a bouquet next time I’m in the city & feeling decadent

Unlike a lot of people, especially single people, I’m not particularly bitter about Valentine’s Day. However, I was pretty sure that that it was just another holiday created by the greeting card and candy companies. But – I am wrong! There’s actually much more romantic and surprisingly sweet history to Valentine’s Day -
