Nights in Havana

I don't know about you, but this is what I would wear if I were a busty, curvaceous Cuban girl about to party. In Havana. At night. Please note the hapless dreamy look on my face - I'm probably thinking of Dirty Dancing (the modern Cuban version with the hot guy and the tall blonde chick, although the Patrick Swayze one was awesome). But alas, I can only stand and pose in my heels, not actually tango and salsa in them. Dance lessons in car garages/auto shops optional.

And there's my little rant for the week - took the ACT today and my brain is just waking up from coma, so you'll have to forgive me. Also decided my vampiric self needed a pop of color - it is spring after all.

Heralds of Spring

The first whiff of sunshine and flowers in the wind has brought an increase in class note doodles, whimsical daydreams, and girls busting out their florals. Guilty as charged. Granted I was praying for sunshine and acceptable weather so I could don my new silky dress. I have never been a fan of florals, but this kensie version was such a cool, classy take on a romantic staple that I just couldn't resist.


A wonderful day spent in the company of an old friend I hadn't seen in a while. Our quest for the perfect lighting and excellent surroundings led us to an old textile mill and the site of the Steeplechase, of all places. I felt much more adventurous when not wearing my 4-inch pumps. If you'd like to follow the order of events - the lighting started out bright on our Steeplechase promenade and ended in the golden tones of sunset at the old textile mill.

And to meet the photographer, who has already made an appearance:

Spring Safari

  Ah! Finally I get to upload this! Wore this on Thursday. I am so proud of myself. For the longest time, I wore a lot of black. Not in the Goth way, mind you (though it is fun), but in the classic, East Coast tradition. And although white is my favorite color, black made up (still makes up) 35% of my wardrobe.

  But no more! I told myself this spring I would not wear black (excessively) and so have bought up a lot of non-black clothing. Here's my new tan jacket. I realized it was absolutely necessary for summer when I laid eyes on it.

 I make very odd faces in pictures, it's a quirk.

I love my black bejeweled leaf clips! My grandmother in Kazakhstan got them for me - I have loved them ever since. It's handy to pin up my hair while I'm growing it out!
