Hello MARC...;]

So I've been pining away for these Marc by Marc Jacobs Ankle Boots ever since I lost a pair of black ones in a bidding war on EBay a couple months back. They are from a couple seasons ago so despite my desperate searching, I could only find them in tan. :( But they are still pretty fabulous....and now they are MINE. I <3 Marc.

Tonight was the first banquet I attended, marking the end (near-end) of pharm school Year I! I went back and forth about what I was going to wear for weeks and didn't even make my decision until just 2 hours before. I actually picked something I wasn't even greatly considering!

I really loved how the outfit came together, and it seemed to be a consensus-hit.

The only "new" item was actually my necklace.

dress - Catherine Malandrino

necklace - J.Crew

purse - Fendi

heels - Calvin Klein

Here are some other angles so you can see my shoes and the necklace better.

Michelle is my size twin, so she borrowed some dresses for banquet. This blue one is one of my faves, and it's actually Catherine Malandrino, as well.

um, pictures are positioned funny, but oh well.

Helloooooo SUMMER!

Summer is RIGHT around the corner and this past week's hellishly hot weather has been an unpleasant reminder that a So Cal summer is NOT all about eating popsicles, wearing shorts and going to the beach, it's also about 100+ degree weather, sweat stains and lying prostrate in bed with heat stroke (or possibly just laziness, but in this heat....whose to say! ;). But never-the-less all this sunniness makes me want to play hooky and go on a vacation! So what are we waiting for?? On-y va!

:)

Jess hit the big 2-4 on 4/05! To celebrate the end of an age bracket (it's the last year she can check that 18-24 box on surveys!!), we went to the Getty Villa.
Overlooking Malibu, it's the Getty's architectural museum, and it's pretty amazing...even the view from the balcony made you feel like you had been transported to a different era.

We got Jess jewelry from Zoe Chicco....

Starfish earrings (sans diamond)....Small anchor tear necklace:

As for the fashion of that day...
Loved Jess and Polly's outfits, ESPECIALLY Polly's boots, from some store in SD:
Steph looked cute as usual, I like the idea of tying a scarf at the back to make it into a shrug...

I didn't get a chance to write down where everything is from, sorry!

Shirt: H&M, Vest: Urban, Shorts: Jovovich-Hawk, Tights: Bloch, Booties: Aldo
*note: I'm not posting the back view of my outfit b/c you could clearly see I had a wedgie...XP
