two year anniversary

There is a bridge in Paris, Pont de la Tourmelle, on which tourists hang padlocks engraved with the names of their sweethearts. They close the locks and toss the key into the Seine. The closed padlocks symbolize the love between the two people.


While I was in Paris, I took a tiny padlock and painted our initials with red nail polish. Now Boyfriend and I forever have a lock in Paris to symbolize our love (along with a cement carving in Arlington). At least until they take them down.

I love you darling. Happy anniversary.

girl, you wanna come to my hotel

Oops. I vanished again. Let me get explanations out of the way: first I was in Paris, then I was freshly arrived home and visiting with all the friends I hadn't seen in four months, then it was New Years, then Boyfriend and I went away to celebrate our anniversary, then I got a stomach flu, then I moved into my new apartment, and finally, school started up. That's a hell of a lot going on in two weeks and on top of all that, my computer is still missing several keys (making it impossible to type) and there is no internet at my new place.

I have a million pictures to show and stories to tell but for now I'm going to keep it simple and post what I like to call "hotel fashion". I snapped photos of a few of the outfits I wore while traveling with my parents. Since I am amused by them I thought I'd share them with you all. Also, I'd like to prove that I still where clothing/stylish outfits.



This gray dress is a favorite of mine and because it was freezing (literally) I layered a simple black long john thing underneath.



I wore this dress with my leather jacket as a blazer and an overcoat over that--I'm not crazy.



Perhaps one of my favorite Paris outfits. I'm wearing my dad's motorcycle boots because my trusty brown boots fell to pieces the minute I arrived in Paris.
