Summer Accessories

Michael Kors Watch | Gap Beach Tote | Tory Burch Sunnies | Jcrew Flats | Clare Vivier Clutch | Lulu Frost Ring

Summer accessories wish list. I'm loving nautical stripes with a pop of gold or sequins, so fun. And that clutch? It would be perfect match for the dress I'm wearing to a wedding next week. I've been eyeing the lulu frost number rings, so cute and meaningful. But way out of budget, maybe I can find a similar style on Etsy? What have you been eyeing this summer?

Tonight I worked at my first gallery event! The event was an artist reception mixed with music, food, live music and open studios to tour. I'm a visual arts intern at a gallery/arts center. The facility used to be a prison in the early 1900's and was recently restored to be an art center with galleries, artist studios and spaces for theater and dance. 

Tonight's event was all about hip hop art and that whole underground culture. In my picture you can see what I wore, live tattooing in the gallery (!), graffiti art that was created during the event and one of buildings that houses the artist studios. It was a fun Saturday night!

What are you up to this weekend?

Friday Night In

This has been one of those long weeks for me. Since I don't have my internship on Friday's I got home at 3:30, and headed to Target to get shoes for a wedding next weekend! (Can't wait to post about it!) It has been raining all day and is supposed to rain into the night as well. So after a short shopping trip, I decided to stay in for the rest of the night, paint my nails, have a glass of (blueberry) wine and watch a movie with my boyfriend, Ryan. Sometimes I need nights like this to unwind, relax, and start the weekend refreshed. 

Just one important question..What color should I paint my nails? I'm obviously an Essie fan. What are your favorite nail polishes?

Make it Work.

After I finished my first year of grad school in May, I was so excited to finally have time to do things again. Unfortunately, I have less time than I thought I would. I am required to do two internships within my masters program, and accepted my first one this summer. I work full time in the wedding industry 7am-3pm. Yep. That early. I work early so I can leave early for classes/schoolwork. But now I am working 3:30-6 at my internship at an art gallery. Don't get me wrong, I am loving it. But I have new time schedule to manage and I do not like having less time. Hopefully it will all pay off in the end, but for now, I just have to make it work.

Do you have a crazy schedule? Grad school woes?
