Bon Hiver

Although school is wonderful, Memphis shopping never fails to leave me deprived and dissatisfied. Thankfully, Thanksgiving break is just around the corner (or so I would like to think) which means at least a small oasis of mall time to sooth my restless shopping spirit. On the must-have list? 
A graphic dress
An intricately crafted watch
A luscious brown tote
A leopard muffler (!)
A sculpted jacket (or perhaps a leather one lined with shearling?)
Here are the pieces that inspired me:

Rhodes Scholars

       These first couple of weeks at Rhodes in East Village 304A have been a blast. My roommates (from the left) Caroline, Jenna, and Lizz have been so great, and I am so excited about the coming school year.
304A! (backwards... we didn't think this through very well.)
It was so great to be reunited with old friends - especially Jenna, who has been one of my closest friends for the past two years. Our apartment has such a great atmosphere and everyone is genuinely getting along really well. I can't wait for our future roomie Sarah - who is studying in Senegal for the semester -  to join us!

Taking on a Fifth Roomie?
Another huge undertaking that has happened recently has been taking on a new pledge class for my sorority, Tri Delta. Rush was hectic, but so worth it! Today we took a picnic out to Mud Island with our new members. Such adorable girls!

     That's all for now - more updates to come as soon as I actually get out there with my camera! I have been scared to bring it out with me because I treasure it so much, but honestly - at this point it has served its purpose documenting my summer full of amazingly photographable scenes.

New York

     I was just in New York this past week to visit my sister Lizzie who is going to Pratt this year! How exciting. She showed me all around Brooklyn and the following two days I got to explore Manhattan with my good friend Sarah. We went to the Natural History Museum, which was amazing! The next day I went to Woodbury Commons for some good ole' outlet shopping. Take a wild guess where most of my physics stipend just went.... clothes!

The Chelsea Market was filled with a bunch of cool, unique bakeries. 
This one was selling Sesame Street cupcakes!

That's all for now! Now it's off to Rhodes to start off the new school year. Yikes!
Have a safe trip back, guys!
