2010

It amazes me that 2010 is already over. Before formulating a list of resolutions for the New Year, I reflected back on 2010 and the memories I will forever look back on that took place this past year. Below are some of the photographs that depict such memories and some of my most favored moments of 2010.

Have a blissful New Year!


Constantly finding beauty in my hometown...

...and in New York.


The idyllic New England landscapes that made their appearances on my many college road trips.

My rambunctious yet adorable new puppy named Champ.

UK travels and amazement's.

The moment I fell in love with London.

The moment I fell in love with Burlington, VT & UVM... most likely my home for the next four years.

Film Fashion: Love and Other Drugs

It has been quite a while since my last "film fashion" post; however, after watching "Love and Other Drugs", I couldn't let the opportunity surpass me. The movie, a perfect medley of drama, comedy, and romance, depicts the complex relationship between two slightly dysfunctional individuals portrayed by both Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal. Hathaway's character, Maggie, is a strong, independent female with talent in the arts and when it comes to hiding her inner instability. Her neutral colored attire throughout the movie consists of primarily over-sized sweaters, boyfriend jeans, tall leather boots, and a lot of layers.

It's Coming on Christmas...

Although my general response to being asked "what's your favorite holiday?" is "Halloween", the late November, early December collaborative mix of chilling weather, Christmas lights, and hot cocoa always temporarily changes my answer. Christmas is certainly one of the most wonderful times of the year. I've recently made a competition with myself to make each follow-up to Christmas a little bit more festive and traditional than the previous, ultimately feeling obligated to complete each item on the following list prior to December 24th.

1. Meander down fifth avenue while admiring the creative window displays.
2. Watch Home Alone with my sister at least five different times
3. Compile a Christmas playlist, always including River by Joni Mitchell (see below).
4. Assist my mom with her homemade fudge and indulge in the batter throughout the process.
5. Create handmade stocking-stuffers for my family members. This year it's soy candles in mercury glass bowls.

Happy Holidays!
