edgy americana

being in business school has resulted to so many real-world case studies. this week, my management class analyzed the private equity firm, TPG, that controlled j.crew in the late 1990s when the brand was in trouble.... the case was boring and full of financial data. but inspired me to see the direction j.crew is currently heading towards.

the analysis: i love the fall 2010 lookbook. pretty much obsessed and cannot wait for it to hit stores! lots of slouchy layers and neutrals topped with the perfectly disheveled hair that screams: i just threw this on, but i know i look fabulous.

yay!

i'm loving the spring weather. light layers still essential since i get cold so easily. but on the downside... it is back to my regular work/school week - which i am terribly behind. sorry for the lack of posts! i know i might say this periodically, but i truly am sorry everytime. 

here is a recap of my spring break. not exactly the best pictures. nor are they "outfit" posts. nevertheless, enjoy!

let me know if you want me to id any of the pieces i'm wearing :)

back!

i'm back from my spring break vacay in the bahamas - overly tan. my whole body itches from the sun. nevertheless, fun times with fun people. but oh, it sure does feel good to be back in my bed. i don't think i'll leave it for the rest of the week.

pictures will soon follow... but for now... look at these crazy shoes from paris fashion week!

spring break is just... one quiz, one professor meeting, and 2 classes away!! for now, i'll procrastinate.

9 more days.

my school-work and work-work keep piling on. 9 more days till spring break. that is what i keep telling myself to get through the day.
