I have spent the last week trapped indoors, sleeping, eating, and trying to keep myself entertained so as not to catch cabin fever. The upside of Snowpocolypse 2010 is obviously no class or responsibility of any kind, but its also been great for everyone on campus to bond. We all survived it together!<br /><br /><br />But seriously, we need to get back to life...like now.<br /></span></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-16840396807229733502010-02-05T03:12:00.002-05:002010-02-05T03:15:13.657-05:00my tumblr<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I figured I might as well show you guys my tumblr...I have had it for a while now, since I was abroad and now I just use it to post random inspiration and pop culture nonsense.

I've always preferred the Museum of Natural History, but I do love the random pop culture artifacts at the American History Museum (Dorothy's ruby slippers?)<br /><br />Anyways we spent a little time fiddling around in the kids section, then gazing at gorgeous gowns in the First Ladies dress exhibit, a good bit in the minerals and gemstones show-I will always find those crystals and jewels amazing, and then we wandered over to Georgetown where we mooned over million dollar townhouses and downed a giant milkshake. Overall a day well spent. Plus we got the added bonus of a little ride through the gorgeous tree tunnel of the George Washington Memorial Parkway where we stopped for a quick photo op at one of the scenic rest stops. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I'm spending my last few days before school seeing friends who I won't see for many months and gorging on junk food and junk tv- oh and maybe fitting in some organizing, cleaning and packing...maybe.</span><br /><br /></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-63481892275436211542010-01-14T18:51:00.003-05:002010-01-14T19:21:22.747-05:00If my life is mine what shouldn't I do?<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/5549/mg9654.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/7125/mg9737.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/989/mg96431.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/1684/mg9723.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2386/mg9709u.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/9043/mg9738.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4959/mg9711.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/9812/mg9736.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/2731/mg9651.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/5412/mg9729.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;">(grey blazer-Thrifted/ black harem sweats + sunglasses-F21/ striped button down-Brooks Brothers/ suede + leather boots-Nine West/ fur collar-Vintage/ black cross body purse-Dooney & Bourke)<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Today I had the urge to actually get dressed.<br /><br /> I have spent a considerable amount of time over this winter break in sweats and pajamas, its about time to get back to some sort of routine that involves real clothes. I've been thinking about the Isabel Marant collection from Fall 09 ever since I re-discovered these harem pants I bought last winter and I actually think that I pulled the look off quite well. Maybe it would have been a little better with some over the knee boots but we work with what we have. I feel quite accomplished when I make an outfit out of pieces in my wardrobe that don't get as much use and I have to say that almost every piece I wore today falls into the realm of little wear. Yay for shopping in your own closet-it can be the best boutique!<br /><br />Besides actually taking some legitimate photographs for my blog today, I also headed to target where I browsed cheap dvds, looked through the remnants of the Rodarte collection and ended up buying some bright cherry red angora socks and a pack of gum. Oh boy. I plan on wearing the socks with my oxfords aka my little man shoes. Maybe tomorrow will be the day?<br /></span></span></div><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1xVclyXdoQbssQwifTKJ3BWoNkIV-gQkjentQ-wGDCGfRyAAP-KlynL76aHt-J3MNlp14xjDgMrbwpDjNo0GbF95kskt52fQWWgv4LAEduS2UTsK_a4w1kP0U_A-WDeJ6KPNoDOxou2o/s1600-h/28.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1xVclyXdoQbssQwifTKJ3BWoNkIV-gQkjentQ-wGDCGfRyAAP-KlynL76aHt-J3MNlp14xjDgMrbwpDjNo0GbF95kskt52fQWWgv4LAEduS2UTsK_a4w1kP0U_A-WDeJ6KPNoDOxou2o/s400/28.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426751710081043458" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqCUkWKMR6dB7bKJ6LTZ6YuYWGMKBkgrZfhicvLQ4Xbt94wDlMCzCJDRf6SPcoBsLyla5DnvGqnTBTuv6E8vcCM9w1r8WjH1mm5HIA2XKvr-skqGKuNMv1Q3-wdynK3VGpVDWe3Ab4pi0/s1600-h/24.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqCUkWKMR6dB7bKJ6LTZ6YuYWGMKBkgrZfhicvLQ4Xbt94wDlMCzCJDRf6SPcoBsLyla5DnvGqnTBTuv6E8vcCM9w1r8WjH1mm5HIA2XKvr-skqGKuNMv1Q3-wdynK3VGpVDWe3Ab4pi0/s400/24.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426751704250286610" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJeTvinYkylKa7EsX0duo_ovzp5wUSKJxe7K6fVdcxSbDqAps0qMv7_6YtaM-HPksrIvDtveuKcaDj9ftt-63XdTZaqANO2HF9qsmxyOtOy5QIf7-gFJwOPSfNG1WAUKAzrO2GfVl4zmw/s1600-h/22.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJeTvinYkylKa7EsX0duo_ovzp5wUSKJxe7K6fVdcxSbDqAps0qMv7_6YtaM-HPksrIvDtveuKcaDj9ftt-63XdTZaqANO2HF9qsmxyOtOy5QIf7-gFJwOPSfNG1WAUKAzrO2GfVl4zmw/s400/22.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426751699104854066" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HyN2eDB-kGg20gpWFYml7TJ4zgqGgDswcrMPzE4N88RX2Nr0JxpXqrnQVXMi_6q8heSmZqcMdbIvIK-swoxo7NB91Vc_SlWV7QgoFzcNThAKbweHl9eyiXLHUmY73nD7C5raUm1TU1w/s1600-h/9.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HyN2eDB-kGg20gpWFYml7TJ4zgqGgDswcrMPzE4N88RX2Nr0JxpXqrnQVXMi_6q8heSmZqcMdbIvIK-swoxo7NB91Vc_SlWV7QgoFzcNThAKbweHl9eyiXLHUmY73nD7C5raUm1TU1w/s400/9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426751697767118306" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-24033038999676814162010-01-11T20:50:00.002-05:002010-01-11T20:58:46.409-05:00frosting<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7025/33255259.png" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/47/00190m1.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6264/121120565.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/5576/000000182374tanyadziahi.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8861/dl1il.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I've been dreaming of snowy blonde hair lately. A few years back (somewhere around 12th grade) I said that I would never dye my hair again because it never looks the same color as it did before it was dyed, but I figure my hair is changing colors on its own (hair is suppose to change color and texture every 7 years or something), so maybe I should just take control of my shade myself.<br /><br /> My only worry is the upkeep of such a light shade of hair. I have never professionally dyed my hair, it was always out of a box, but for something so drastic I would not do it myself in the bathroom sink. I just worry that I will look ridiculous when I finally decide to let the color grow out. I guess by my calculations I will probably be ready to chop my hair off again by the time I'm ready for the dye to grow out. Should I take the plunge?</span><br /><br /></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-69781603693962824202010-01-09T01:23:00.003-05:002010-01-09T02:26:11.069-05:00its friday!<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/5140/mg9564.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/9937/mg9526.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/7478/mg9532.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/6088/mg9544.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(wearing: dress-T by Alexander Wang/ liquid leggings-Forever 21/ bodychain-Bliss Lau/ beanie-BDG/ long fingerless gloves-Topshop/ fur collar-Vintage)</span><br /><img src="http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/5107/mg9548.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/8471/mg9552s.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8674/mg9569f.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/3092/mg9571.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/796/mg9567.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4615/img9494d.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Just a bunch of random photos I took while trying to make my room look organized. I figured there was a lot of stuff I have acquired while abroad and since the holiday season that I forgot to show on the blog so here they are.<br /><br />First off is my new favorite hat! I bought it in the central market in Florence-I had been looking for an ear-flap fur hat like that one since I spotted it on Ashley Olsen in like 2005. It is so warm, but the only problem is that I can't hear a thing around me when I am wearing it...whoops! Then I've been trying to organize my room slowly but surely. I kind of gave up on unpacking and decorating before leaving for Italy so it is still a big mess. I got the idea to hang the necklaces on the wall from a room on the Selby website. Such a good idea-why let all those beautiful necklaces sit in a box where you can't see them? Theres no sense in that.<br /><br />The bag with the maroon python detail is a vintage find from Italy. I spent so much time abroad scouring vintage stores for the perfect bag and shoes and by the last day I had found both. It was love at first sight with this bag. The only improvement for me would be if it had a longer strap as well as the short one; I am all about cross body bags because of their comfort.<br /><br />The little pouch bags are a sort of collection I have started recently. I adore small purses and while they aren't always right for all occasions they are perfect for going out at night when you don't need much. I love the drawstring format. I bought the two green bags in Florence-the dark green suede at the market and the round one with the tassels at a leather store. The two red ones were gifted to me by my grandmother. And finally the more detailed shot shows a hand-printed velvet bag that I got in Venice. It is so tiny and sweet and the peachy-blush hue is so gorgeous in person. I found it at this amazing store that sold all sorts of hand printed velvet cushions, shawls, bags etc and hand-printed chandeliers as well.<br /><br />Of course many of you recognize the Christopher Kane x Topshop alligator dress. I scored that when I went to Topshop in New York last weekend, and it was selling for only $20! I couldn't believe my luck :)<br /><br />Final picture is a little episode of whats in my bag...It is a Dooney and Bourke bag from Ebay with a vintage leopard scarf. Then the usual: ipod, phone, hello kitty wallet and change purse, floss (?), hairclip, giftcards from Christmas, pen, hand cream, red lipstick, and my newly organized keys with a tassel keychain!</span><br /></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-46418272802278294112010-01-08T04:14:00.003-05:002010-01-08T04:29:13.358-05:00Prada<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5971/25448prada1912268lo.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/4981/24705prada1122154lo.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/2567/24733prada1012263lo.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/3442/24768prada1812235lo.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/7973/24745prada12122138lo.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/956/24757prada14122981lo.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/8776/25455prada211221044lo.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/1753/25467prada221221179lo.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/5430/32505pradaamber4122196l.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/3981/prada4.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/7967/prada9.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:78%;">(photos from fashion spot)</span><br /><br />Just a few gorgeous photos from the Prada campaigns from 96 and 97 I believe.</span><br /><br /></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-55984035592266100242010-01-04T22:16:00.002-05:002010-01-04T23:13:29.885-05:00a whirlwind weekend<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/9315/mg9423.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/8356/img9418.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">We had a little spinach/artichoke pizza from ARTICHOKE to kick off the day</span>.<br /><br /><img src="http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/4871/mg9419.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/990/mg9420.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">I think the red one would look fantastic on me.<br /><br /></span><img src="http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1015/mg9422.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Some funktastic glasses in a store window we passed.<br /><br /></span><img src="http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8660/mg9431.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">After pizza we headed to the MET to check out the amazing Robert Frank exhibit which I have been waiting to see since early fall!

After last week's blizzard we were left with a white Christmas! The first white Christmas I can remember since I was about 5. The tree was also abundant with great gifts, the fire was roaring, I took a long and pleasant nap in the middle of the day and then awoke to the smell of roast beef and quiche in the oven, and then finally family came over and we had an delicious home cooked feast. Thanks for everything, Mom!<br /><br />I got some amazing gifts this year :) The biggie being this new Bliss Lau body chain which I am truly in love with. Its got a nice weight to it and it hangs beautifully. I love the vest-like quality to it. I just want to wear it with everything! The past couple nights I've been channeling this sort of preppy/punky look. The fully buttoned up dress shirt paired with the ripped tights and the old slip dress seemed casual, comfortable and festive to me without screaming Christmas. Plus the nose ring and body chain add a sort of punk twist. I also received some plain white high-top converse, funky tights, two gorgeous photography books that I wanted, a Jacob Black action figure (HAHA, Mom) and French macarons!<br /><br />What a good Christmas!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">OH and <span style="font-weight: bold;">HAPPY BIRTHDAY</span> to my lovely sister Elizabeth who is 22 today!</span><br /></span></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-2657076495736117872009-12-23T19:41:00.002-05:002009-12-23T19:45:46.329-05:00One size fits all<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/871/terryrichardson1i.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/3392/terryrichardson2.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/9161/terryrichardson3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2961/terryrichardson4.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9881/terryrichardson5.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/5387/terryrichardson6.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/4601/terryrichardson7.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/584/terryrichardson8x.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">(images via fashiongonerogue)<br /><br /></span>Its about time someone made this editorial.<br /></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-37038642999749903062009-12-21T21:19:00.002-05:002009-12-21T21:53:40.737-05:00a few beautiful things<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/7823/dariawerbowy3.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/3491/3114754008186ca63709.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/5070/larakane500x751.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/5697/picture2cg.png" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/8296/picture1yi.png" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6689/4u9bh2.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/4880/985982005p.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/8653/tumblrkup7n9aljo1qz9qoo.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4347/bspsmammothtaloncuff1a.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/1508/picture7ml.png" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/5390/tumblrkun0gsuryt1qzbl6k.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3188/picture5zs.png" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/5787/jessicastam2.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><br />Cozy socks, elfin earrings, primitive jewelry, spray painted jeans, peach colored fabrics, brown leather loafers, berets, studded oxfords, delicious holiday cookies, tied-up tops, unruly hair, keychain adorned bags, knit oversized sweaters, funky platform shoes...all things I'm craving.<br /><br /></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-82475157174739231712009-12-01T15:01:00.003-05:002009-12-01T15:26:37.659-05:00CRUSH CRUSH CRUSHSince I've spent the last 3 months in Italy, surrounded by high fashion in Milan and amazing leather in Florence I have developed a few major bag crushes.

I love the burgandy color and the addition of the longer strap as well...its perfect for everyday wear-which is what I would need if I was going to spend big bucks on a bag.<br /><br /><img src="http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2219/fendi8.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><img src="http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/3892/fendispring1014.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br />Finally, last but not least, the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Fendi</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Peekaboo</span> bag. Fendi always has many variations on one bag and these two versions are my top favorites(though I do love the tobacco brown version as well). This is such a gorgeous bag! I love the design of it and the way it hangs on your arm. It kind of has the feel of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Kelly</span> or the<span style="font-style: italic;"> Birkin</span> but with a softer structure to it. Thats one of my only arguments with the Hermes bags-they are a little too structured, I think I would want to buy one that was vintage or a little ruffed up.<br /><br /><br /></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-13020872804577496142009-11-05T13:57:00.002-05:002009-11-05T14:09:11.850-05:00a vampire, a soldier and a witch walk into a bar...<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/2452/img7059q.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/9307/img7072.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/1757/img7054.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><img src="http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/2425/img7058k.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><br /><br />Life has been crazy lately.

I am totally not a loafer kind of girl at first sight, but being here in Florence and witnessing all the perfectly chic and preppy women riding there bicycles in their loafers and sundresses makes me hopeful that maybe I can pull off a little preppy twist in my otherwise (currently) grungey wardrobe.<br /><br />-scouring vintage and thrift shops for leather purses, slip dresses, faux fur coats and funky accessories- I've already picked up two gorgeous vintage mini dresses (I will post pictures soon!)-Florence seriously has some of the best vintage stores I've ever seen!<br /><br />-enjoying my time just wandering the city and photographing. I love the idea of keeping a visual notebook. Using my camera to take notes on my life here. Photographing anything and everything that appeals to me and that memorializes my time here.<br /><br />-learning how to cook delicious Italian food. My roommates here spoil me by cooking amazing food for me all the time, so its about time that I contribute something of my own besides buying the wine. I did however come up with a delicious cocktail (suited for brunch more than anything)- its a mamosa of champagne and lichee juice. So good!<br /><br />-thinking about travelling to Sienna for a day trip next weekend. Theres a show of Francesca Woodman's photography. She has fast become one of my favorites! If you don't know her work I suggest you look her up pronto. Its made up of beautifully dreamy and haunting images of the human figure.<br /><br />What have you all been up to??<br /><br /><br /></span>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052572479603216415.post-22224395542704232712009-09-30T10:15:00.002-04:002009-09-30T10:31:25.255-04:00Milan Fashion Week-Outside Armani<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/5301/mg5233.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by <span size=" /><span style="font-size:100%;">ImageShack.us"/></span>

I have seen tons of things I would love to purchase, however so far I have been restraining myself. After all it has only been a week since I arrived. There is so much more to see. However there is a stand in the central market full of beautiful vintage clothing including a completely righteous fringed leather jacket and about 10 bags I want in my closet. I think a purchase from there will be a necessity before leaving. I've also spotted some very Chloe Fall 2009-esque ankle boots.<br /><br />On my mind clothes wise for fall/winter are sturdy boots(United Colors of Benneton), faux fur leopard coats(Urban Outfitters), lacey dresses, cable knit tights, things that lace-up, lots of jewelry, and bright colored lips.<br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><br /></div>Miranda*http://www.blogger.com/profile/01498101193701324855noreply@blogger.com4
