Home

I'm home, which is so bittersweet. It was wonderful to get home and be lovingly welcomed back by my mom, bf and neighbors, who had a delicious meal for me ready to eat outside. At the same time though, I miss {Europe} already... the bustling city life, the quietness of towns that have been around for centuries and centuries, flowers I haven't seen here, the smell of fresh foods, chocolate croissants, being with family, hearing snippets of conversations I couldn't quite understand and then those that I could, the sea and all those stylish Europeans!! Plus, I wish I would have had enough room in my tiny suitcase to bring back so much more... I guess I will have to go back :) I have TONS of great photographs and lots of posts I'm excited to share so stay tuned. Europe is full of great style and {confidence}. I love it. 

A Bientot!

Graduation Day

{SS} here reporting to you from Eugene, OR where my brother {AS} is graduating from the University of Oregon today... Ah!


Anyways, unfortunately I'm discovering that it's not quite as easy to do these blog posts from my little android phone as I had hoped, so until I have access to my dad's computer in the next few days, these will be a bit short and sweet.
On Wednesday I'll get back to more stylish aspects... But in the meantime, a few highlights of what I packed:

* 2 pairs of pants (no jeans, though I may buy some in CA)

* 3 skirts: 1 floral patterned pull on skirt w/ deep purples, 1 navy skirt and 1 khaki skirt

* 4 dresses: 1 dressy linen spaghetti strap, 1 casual chambray, 1 long sleeve knit striped, 1 black knit with cut-out back that could be dressed up or down

* 2 pairs of shorts: 1 casual pair, 1 athletic pair

* 3 pairs of shoes: chacos (yes), super comfy brown wedge sandals, Tom's ballet flats (planning on buying a good pair of walking shoes in CA)

* floral silk bow sleeveless shirt

* button-down striped blue & white fitted oxford shirt

* 3 cardigans: black, lavender and graphite

* Lots of t-shirts and knit tops

And of course my headlamp which I don't leave home without :-)

I of course packed a bit too late so wish I would have packed a few more and different things, but I'm planning on picking up a few things in California.

I'll keep you posted and in the meantime I apologize for the poor quality and composure of this post... Just wanted to keep them coming!
