A Home Away From Home

29 Tuesday Nov 2011

One of the biggest adjustments to college is living away from home. I miss my family but I absolutely love living on my own. Even though living in a dorm isn’t exactly living by myself I still love the freedom. These are some snippets from my home at Emerson. 

My planner basically contains my entire life. If I don’t write it down I won’t remember it so my planner is always overflowing with things I need to make note of.

My teddy bear, Oliver. As you can see he’s rocking the overalls. My friends made me Oliver for one of my birthdays and I think he brings a little whimsy to my room.

Somehow I ended up getting 20 textbooks as opposed to the usual 5. I’m not complaining! I’ll take Shakespeare over a textbook any day.

An adorable post-it from my roommate Gina. She’s so sweet, she’s always leaving me cute notes.

A Polished Piece

Adding a blazer to any outfit can make it more polished and I love the way it looks over this tulle dress. Without the blazer this dress looks like I stole a ballerina’s night dress, it’s barely wearable. But the blazer gives it some polish and class and makes it perfect for almost any occasion.

These are my favorite shoes and I’m trying to get as much use out of them as possible before the winter season comes along. They have a four inch heel but are incredibly easy to walk in and add an extra punch to any outfit.

The temperature in Boston dropped just as quickly as the leaves did. It was really chilly today and some friends and I went to the esplanade to enjoy the scenery before it gets too cold.

I already had this scarf and my friend Jamie made me a hat to go with it. They look so great together, thanks Jamie!

Fancying Fur

I finally got to wear my fur vest! I found it at a thrift store and I’ve been dying to style it. It’s gotten late enough in the season for it to be appropriate. My roommate and I went to Beacon Hill to shoot and it was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately even in fur I didn’t quite fit in with the glamorous crowd there.

The leaves just started falling off the trees! All the trees back home are already bare but it seemed like the leaves here all fell within two hours today.

Gina making me laugh, as always.

Living here wouldn’t be too shabby. 

Vest: Thrifted
