we love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love eachother!

YAY. 4 finals down and one to go. last night i got to listen to a bit about my merchandising professors life/career and it made me wish i could have a mentor like him to teach me everything about sewing/ visual merchandising/ store planning/ FASHION. i want an apprenticeship! :) but for real, there is something to be said for someone who knows so much about their craft. *admiration*!

ok so...

1. my MOM took these! seems as if she is my new photographer :) jk, but we did have fun on this special occasion!

2. i cannot wear this blouse enough. it has the best collar EVER.

3. meet senior ollie. when i was a sophomore in college i decided buying a dog would be a good idea. when i moved to nyc and worked full-time, i realized why college kids shouldn't have pets. long story short, my parents adopted him! so i still get to love him when i visit!

honestly, do you think chihuahua's are cute? i think theyre so darling, but matt can't even look at ollie without making this awful cringe face!

socks: forever 21
shoes: ASOS

that dog is adorable! remember the you quiero taco bell commercials? so cute. props to your mom. your polka dot knee socks make me swoon. :)

Loren said...

Love this outfit. The jumper, the blouse, the sock are all adorable.

But honestly Chihuahuas, I do not get it. I don't think they are ugly or anything, but I think they are significantly less cute than 90% of other dogs.

YOU ARE DARLING!

Lisa said...

Oh my gosh that dress is amazing... and the blouse is even better! You look so so cute! Aww and your dog is such a cutie! Normally I don't like chihuahua's that much, their heads are out of proportion to me, and they're not that fluffy (if that's the right word). But yours looks really cute. Ah I've been wanting a dog for ages but since I'll be leaving home in about half a year I figured that wouldn't be such a good idea.. sigh.

Love, Lisa

Frannie Pantz said...
