I have never had a vacation in which two weeks fly by as quickly as this one! It was so refreshing to visit a city like Amsterdam which provides both tradition and modernity. I must say it has stolen my heart due to its unique experiences, charming people, traditional architecture, and easy-going lifestyle. My trip was packed with new explorations such as Delft, Rotterdam, and Bruges- all of which contained such lovely features. I had a great time with my amazing boyfriend and thank his family for hosting me! My whole being aches for this place in my life already and all it represented.

Textures and Patterns Oh My!

Wearing a Jack faux fur vest, Michael Kors leather jacket, Ralph Lauren sweater, Ralph Lauren denim, and a common assortment of jewelry

Happy almost Valentines Day! This is an array of my somewhat recent purchases (not really..) I am so excited to be able to share this day with someone that I love for the first time and I wouldn't change it for the world. Blogging is not really a priority right now considering I am anxiously awaiting decision letters from four other art universities- Pratt, Parsons, VCU and MICA. A couple of days ago I received an acceptance letter from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for their Fine Arts programme! The relief I felt is impossible to explain besides stating the fact that I was hysterically crying for 20 minutes straight. I blog like someone is reading this but its okay I realise no one does, lololol.

FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM! I had to think of a title for this post for a while because it's so random. I just felt like I needed to do something besides college applications- so please try your best not to judge me ;)

I feel like there should be an olympic event for room cleaning. I wish I could say this is what my room looked like on a daily basis, but those who've seen it know that's a lie. The thing is...the entire floor of my room serves as a closet. The two suitcases from my recent trip to Rwanda are still shut away and I am pretending like they don't exist so I don't feel the need to unpack. Unpacking is the worst thing about travelling. I'm off to New York to hear Coldplay (!!!) and do some last minute college tours of both Parsons and Pratt.
