1. Sketching is really relaxing. Helps me get organized when my brain feels a bit full of creative juices. In a non-gross way.
2. I may have been re-watching Doctor Who and may have just watched the last few episodes of season four and may have ended up sobbing and emotionally exhausted. Don’t lie. You cried too.
3. That is all.
Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes, you guys are the best!
I knew that I wasn’t going to be up for anything terribly exciting on a Tuesday night after class so I decided it’d be fun to do what we do every Tuesday night, which is to nerd out at a bar.
It was pretty awesome. I brought my camera with my vintage 50mm lens to play with and I’m pretty impressed! I’m still absolutely terrible at holding it still but to be fair it was 10pm and super dark and some of the photos still managed to look like they were taken at high noon. I need to start using this lens for outfit photos!
On a completely separate subject, I’ve been wanting a new camera bag lately and since my bank account weeps every time I visit Kelly Moore or Jo Totes, I decided to go the DIY route again like last time. My last bag was great and I love it, but the new camera is really just too big for it. Plus I always hated that I didn’t think to get a bag that had a zip closure on top to protect gear from the elements. And it literally just fits the camera and one lens and possibly a set of keys. Possibly.
This new bag is all kinds of amazing. It’s absolutely huge but still usable as a purse, it zips across the top, and it has a front pocket! I’m so excited to be able to take my camera with me everywhere! Plus how adorable is the carpetbaggy print?? I ruv. Now, what color to make the inserts..?
I also finally got my paws on this lovely pattern! I’m convinced that once I start making exclusively spring-appropriate clothing, the weather will take a hint. I can’t wait to get started, I already have so many ideas!
I’m pretty exhausted today for no apparent reason, so tonight is just lounging in Boyfriend’s sweatpants watching old episodes of Gilmore Girls.
Don’t judge me. I hate myself for it. I blame Alexis Bledel’s eyes.

Welcome to your friendly neighborhood disjointed post.
I’m starting to have papers and projects due for school so things have started feeling a bit more frantic. Ok, a lot more frantic.
Anyway, the Boyfriend’s family is in town visiting so we went out for brunch today. His Seest is just learning how to use her dSLR so I brought mine along too and we played around with them. It was fun having someone to experiment with and not feel too self-conscious, especially when we hunched over things for several minutes, fiddling with settings as everyone else twiddled their thumbs.
Anddd now I have to go dig through my closet to try to put together an outfit for an event tomorrow. Boyfriend is having his white coat ceremony for dental school. Super exciting! Except business casual just doesn’t really work with my wardrobe.
PS: In other news, my Chelsea collar knockoff dress was entered in Erin’s Copy Cat Challenge over at I heart fabric! Feel free to check it out and enter any of your own copycat projects!
