pretty pink things

Everyone who knows me knows i'm a girly girl, and along with being a girly-girl comes an inherent love for the color pink. And while I actually hate bright pink (or normal pink for that matter), I love blush pink, it's so subtle. It can be pretty but not in your face, like other ugly brighter pinks. These are some examples of my kind of pink:

rag & bone

“Inside the Line” with David Neville and Marcus Wainwright featuring Lily Adridge via Shopbop.
Rag & Bone is an incredible line that, until I saw their fall 2010 runway show was not even on my radar. My how that has changed! They put an incredibly unique spin on basics. Such as a silk button-down with a long shirttail, or a white sweater that has perfectly placed woven ribs, or oxford wedges with an open toe, you get what I mean. I absolutely love their lightweight summer sweaters (especially that white woven sweater I just talked about) and their fall 2010 line looks like it has just as amazing winter sweaters! They're all about layering, layering, layering. Bag lady chic, but more chic, less bag lady. It's just such a tragedy that almost everything retails for over $300. My shopbop discount can’t even bring it down to my price range, bumskis. And I really, reallyreally, really want that white sweater. It's giant, and looks cozy, and I would pair it with some navy blue flutter shorts and cork wedges and my outfit would be dang good.

Here's some more Rag & Bone:

that's it, that's it, THAT'S it!!!! the white sweater i'm in love with.

Soooooo I decided to create a NEW blog to document my adventures in NYC this summer!!! It will be more about me, and have only pictures that I've taken (because I will take A LOT while I'm there), and I'll talk about my internship and how that's going, and just my overall experience in general. So if you want to check that out go to:

sonjainthebigcity.blogspot.com

It's brand new, obviously, and I'm not leaving for three weeks but I'll be posting before I leave about alllll that I have to do to prepare, mentally, emotionally, phsically, financially.....

tick, tock, tick, tock

COUNTDOWN: 20 DAYS.

I remember the days when I had to scroll through months and months on my phone to find the date I was leaving for New York... now I'm AT that month. And a mere three weeks from tomorrow I will be at my first day on the job at Saks! I have never been so excited yet so scared for something all at the same time. I didn't even feel this apprehensive when I was going away to college (though... college was 20 minutes away from my house, so... this is much different).

There is sooo much I have to do before I leave. I don't even want to begin to think about packing. I have to move completely out of my room in my apartment (which has accumlated TWO YEARS worth of crap) and into my room at my parent's house. I have to buy business professional clothes. Because I am working in corporate I have to dress like a business woman, what? really? who would have known?! I don't even own a pair of dress pants. Or a blazer. Shooooooot. I have a feeling my personal style is about to go through a total transformation this summer. Which I am more than ready for. Bring on the DVF blouses and Theory dresses. I'm sick of my laid-back college girl look anyways.

I'm also getting incredibly sad (almost depressed) about leaving my family and friends. Madison is my comfort zone, born and raised here. I've also never gone more than a week without seeing my parents (I know right, how old am I, 5?) so even though I'm twenty I'm getting really nervous about not being able to meet my mom every week for starbucks and then stock up on groceries. And don't even get me started on being away from my boyfriend for so long :( I thought being away on a 10-day vacation last summer was a long time.... here comes 10 weeks....

Ahhh well. I gotta get back to studying. I have TWO finals today and then I'm 3/4 done with my exams week! So for now I'm going to try and focus on worrying about exams and push New York to the back of my mind... ha, yeah like that will happen.

GO TO....

MY TUMBLR!!!!!!! I pretty much only regularly update my tumblr, I like the format much better, I will still be updating my blog but only intermittently and when I have time. Tumblr is better for quick updates that I don't need to put much thought in.

SOOOOOOO.

It seems like an eternity ago my family and I got back from our spring break trip to Florida, with all the projects/papers/exams that have been consuming my life lately it feels like I never even got a break! Here are a few pics from the trip.
