new obsession: {all saints}

After a recent trip to georgetown, I have discovered this gem thanks to my best friend, v.  I'm obsessed with the intricately beaded dresses and tops and skirts, in addition to the leathers and knits.  Maybe I'm behind on discovering AllSaints, but I'm just glad I found them! Here are some of my picks:

Amazing, right??  Who else is obsessed?!

winding down virginia

Well my time in Virginia is winding to a close.  I can’t believe it’s been a month already.  I just got here!  I know I have grown a lot, though, and I feel like my time away from Charleston has been refreshing.  Soon it is back to the grind of things and continuing to discern where God will lead my life!  It is bittersweet to be leaving here.  I’m leaving my dad, leaving my best friends, leaving the place I love – but at the same time I’m returning to wonderful friends and family at home too.   Annnd it will be good great to be sleeping in my own bed again.  I have really missed sleeping in a bed, since I’ve been sleeping on an air mattress while up here!   Anyhow, here are some photos taken while I’ve been up here.  I wish I had taken more.  I’m always bad about that.  Note to self:  get better at that.

life in alexandria

I am completely loving my stay up in alexandria. Though the weather was quite hot the first couple of days (and spurred several shopping trips for airy, light clothes), it has definitely cooled down. The past couple of days this week have been absolutely GORGEOUS. Love it. Yesterday, I went into dc to meet Lindsey for dinner - and I took a couple of pics on the way in on my phone:

The pics turned out much better than expected.  Sometimes I don't think I give my iphone enough credit - I thought they'd be horrible.  Guess I need to start taking more!  Last night, it rained briefly, but then turned out to be a lovely evening in georgetown! I seriously want to live in georgetown. Love it!!
