[ Spring Break ] Key West 2011

So as I am lying in bed, attempting to recover from the past five days of absolute craziness, I've realized 5 things...

1.  we never did get a piece of key lime pie
2.  i managed to leave without losing anything (i think) or getting my nose pierced (ha)
3.  even if i wear 50 spf, i will still get burnt (and more freckles)
4.  i didn't take enough pictures... so typical  
5.  i will definitely go back one day

I can't begin to describe how fun.beautiful.romantic.delicious.overwhelming this spring break experience really was.  As my first, and last true college spring break it certainly satisfied every expectation, and then some.  About 40 kids from my school came down, including my roommates and boyfriend, and it was as if we had just relocated my college right into paradise.

My favorite people, in my new favorite place.  
It was just perfect.

Our adorable little inn

So yeah, sadly these are really the only half decent photos I have... but I'm anxiously anticipating being tagged in tons on facebook (i hope none are too outrageously embarassing :)

[ Spring Break ] Window Shopping

For this installment of Window Shopping, I've been slightly preoccupied with counting down the days until Spring Break ( 7 days away!!)  And as my bank account dwindles, of course my appetite for a new Spring/Summer wardrobe swells and I'm left admiring all the cute clothes I wish I could buy...

My style typically remains pretty simple, staying in the neutral/gray/black range... but I am going to Key West afterall, so this week's picks are unusually colorful and bright.   Gotta get in the island spirit!
