Gray day

My favorite time of day is the early morning, and my favorite type of morning is a chilly, gray one. These are common in Boston during the Fall months, before the climate switches over from brisk to hypothermia-inducing.

Here's hoping we get a few more chilly grays before the spring sun comes out for good. Are you guys all anxious for warmth or are you still enjoying the cold?

Mexican adventure

Some photos from the first 48 hours of my trip:

Despite being burnt to a CRISP right now (seriously, so much pain), I'm having a really good time! How is your week going?

Spring break reminiscing

Although I am beyond excited for my spring break trip this year, I have been thinking about last year's trip a lot lately. Last year at this time I was living in Paris and during our break, three friends and I traveled around Spain and Morocco for a week. I was recently going through the photos and I realized I've never shared them on this blog! So if you're interested in seeing some cute shots from mystical, faraway places, look no further! And feel free to ask me any questions about these places, I

Barcelona

Our first day in Barça! I forget what was so important about this fountain. I think it may be famous?

Outfit shot.

Barcelona has the best farmer's market of any place that has ever existed. Just look at their selection of chocolates!

Casablanca

I have friends in Casablanca who were gracious enough to take the four of us in for a few days and show us around the city. The next few pictures are from the Hassan II Mosque, which was built in the 80s. It's the 5th largest mosque in the world (and it's pretty effing epic).

After bumming around the outside for a few hours, we got to go inside for a short tour

Rabat

These are ancient Roman ruins just outside the medina, or inner city of Rabat. My friend Cailee is a huge archaeology nerd, and she was geeking out hardcore the entire time. Not that I blamed her, the ruins were awesome.

This next picture is a tomb in which several Moroccan kings are buried:

Marrakech/the Ourika Valley

My Moroccan best friend, Saida the baby dromedary! Dromedaries are camels with only one hump. Tasia got very jealous when she saw this picture.

View from atop my dromedary

The Ourika Valley. We spent this morning in a Berber village.

Well, there we go! I leave for Cancun at 6:30 tomorrow morning, and I'm bringing my computer, so check back for updates. If you're still in school, what are you doing for break? Are you going to blog about it? Let me know so I can follow your trip, too!

Pop of color

No matter how early I get up for my 9:30 class I never have time to do my hair, which wouldn't be a problem if my natural hair texture wasn't Seth Rogen ("it's called 'jew'"-Knocked Up). This (in addition to hiding my blond roots) is why I can't get enough of the hot pink hat Liz gave me for Chrismukkah. Presentable hair with no flat iron required.

Ok and one sans hat, but cropped before the roots to save you the trauma.

Feeling blue

No, I'm not depressed, I'm just really feeling the color blue today! Blue top, blue flowers on my skirt, blue wall, blue eyes. Everything is blue and I love it!

What color are you feeling today?

I could never look into your eyes, and settle for wrong and ignore the right

Yesterday I bought Adele's new album, both because I love the sound of her voice and because I was in a music funk and needed a break from all the Anberlin I've been listening to lately. I get really obsessive when I find a new song I like. I play it over and over and over again, and after awhile I start creating music videos and choreographing new dances and complicated ice skating routines in my head. Some songs I even imagine myself performing on stage. Adele's new song, I Found a Boy, is this song for me at the moment. I think I've probably listened to it about 55 times since I downloaded it last night. It's a mellow ballad about moving on to greener pastures and rejecting past unhappiness. It's put me in kind of a mellow mood all day, which I feel is reflected by the muted colors in today's photos.

But yes, I can be introspective while wearing a hot pink hat.

Valentine's Day flowers are still kickin'

I can't even remember the last time I wore actual jeans

Last year I wore skirts and dresses. This year I discovered the beauty and comfort of jeggings. I have never really been a "jeans and a t-shirt" girl (and am probably not going to start now) but every once in awhile I pull my one pair of jeans out of my closet, give them a good shake to get all the dust off, and style an outfit around them. Thoughts on this one?

Gap jeans; Blake Scott shoes; VS tank; blazer from a random store in Paris (remixed); Santa socks from my Aunt Deb; necklace of questionable origin
