style file: this week's highlights, what i wore

i'm still riding the high of getting in to grad school!  it's not even bothering me that the weather lately has been atrocious.  it's almost May, you guys, and it's like 55 degrees outside.  NOT CUTE.  but i don't care!  ever since finding out last Thursday, life has been at full speed... getting an apartment down at Purdue... organizing life in general, getting my affairs in order.  it's so exciting!

also, summer is almost here, and bikini season is fast approaching.  sooo there's that.  i'm pale as ghost right now, and while i'm 85% happy with how i look in a bathing suit...there's room for improvement.  also, as you'll see below, crop tops are happening this season so...there's a lot of ab work to be done!

we had a 70-degree day last weekend, so this was wildly appropriate.  dress, Moulinette Soeurs.  nude pumps, Steve Madden. 

LIVING for a crop top.  for real.  skort, American Eagle. bralette, American Eagle. abs, yoga.

cold out. so i went with super bright colors!  cafe capri, J.Crew. striped rugby top, J.Crew. oxfords, uhm..stolen from a photoshoot i attended about a year ago...soo..shhh.

what i've been listening to...

• Freedom at 21 - Jack White (his new album dropped this week, Blunderbluss, and it's SICK).
• Judith - A Perfect Circle
• Seven Devils - Florence + the Machine
• Kashmir - Loch Lomond
• Beautiful Sinner - Nicki Minaj
• Britney Spears Megamix - Britney Spears mixed by Chris Cox (JUDGE ME)
• Toy Soldier - Britney Spears (one of my fav britney songs ever)
• Jump - Madonna

okay so about this crop top thing.  so i'm a huge dork and when i need exercise motivation, i turn to youtube.  every time.  i love to watch Nike commercials...i think they're so good, and when it's bikini season....i turn to the same video every year....

her abs, her booty, her abs... omg.  Britney, about 11 years ago, had the SICKEST BODY EVER.  and this iconic performance on the VMAs is the best inspiration you'll ever find to get your ass up and go to the gym!  watch Britney shake it (particularly around 3:20...) and bow down to Britney and her abs.  bow down. this is everything.

it's almost May! omg right?!  my sister will be graduating from Harvard Business School (really major), and then summer fridays start (favorite!)... it's all very exciting.  most exciting - summer clothes!!
