All White On The Beach

 

The first week of the new year I'm currently spending down in South Beach. My grandparents live close by so it's an easy destination for my family. Sadly, the weather hasn't been ideal for Miami, but it is way better than the 23 degree weather at home.

The grey weather does compliment my all-white ensemble perfectly, if I do say so myself. In the first picture my pose is very Chiara Ferragni  isn't it?

I hope your first week of the year is going well. Stay tuned, yet again, for my new year's resolution post. I have come up with my resolution, but I need to think about how I'm going to frame it in a post.

James Blake Concert

Last night my friend and I decided to go see James Blake perform at the 9:30 club. I'm not a die-hard James Blake fan, but I did know most of the songs played. 

What I didn't realize from listening to the album is how much electronic music is in his songs. I thought it was going to be him singing with some music is the back, but actually his voice supplemented the music played. 

I've never been to a show like that since I mostly like organic music, but I thought it was enjoyable. I only wish he sang more because his voice is beautiful. 

It was cold and we took the metro, so I wore something only semi revealing.

Again, sorry for the poor camera quality- I can't lug around my DSLR to concerts and night outings. I'm trying to figure out a solution for this problem.

1 year Anniversary

This past Tuesday was my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend. We actually didn't plan anything until last minute because our schedules have been so hectic with school and other activities. I had a gift card to a Brazilian steak house in D.C. called Foco de Chao. We have both been to Brazilian steak houses so we knew the interesting dining experience already.

This outfit was totally last minute, but I think it worked out well. All black is easy for a event or dinner where you don't have time to plan an outfit. Sorry the photos are poor quality and uncreative. There was no little photo shoot that night, so these were the only pictures I had.

Senior Homecoming

Last night was my senior homecoming. The weekend started with the homecoming game, which we won 33-20. Then on Saturday was the homecoming dance. 

I wasn't too excited for homecoming after my amazing time at prom last year. I find homecoming dances just aren't as fun. However, I did have a great time this year. My boyfriend is the best date for a dancing event because he boogies down the entire time.

The theme  of the dance was "Midnight in Paris." There wasn't much Parisian charm in the gym, but the strings of Christmas lights added good ambiance.

For the dance I wore a lambskin leather French Connection dress I found at Lohmans. I'm pretty proud of the find because it retailed for $500 and I got it for $130 and it fits like a dream. I decided not to get it shortened because I think the length is good (hitting me right above the knee) for a professional environment for the future.

An evening with MSMR and Wildcat!Wildcat!

This past Sunday my best friend and I went to see the band MSMR. The two of us love them so much that we have seen them perform three separate occasions.

Overall the night was great. We went to Matchbox on U street before and then walked over to the Black Cat for the show at 8. 

The opener was actually my favorite: an all guy band from Austin called Wildcat!Wildcat! I highly suggest checking out their self titled EP... but sadly they only have a few songs out now.

Now for MSMR, I was a bit disappointed in their performance. It was a sold out show so I expected it to be great- as they always are... but this time I don't know if it was the sound quality of the club or what, but they just sounded a bit off. 

Don't get me wrong, I still had an amazing time. That may be the last concert I go to on a Sunday because we got home at 1am and I had school the next day.. EEEK.
