I can’t believe that my first year of law school is already in its last quarter. This semester just kind of flew and finals are just around the corner. I guess it’s that “24/7-library-time” again. These pictures were taken within my first week of school. Can you see that subtle look of fear in my eyes…lol, completely unnecessary. In retrospect I feel that I’ve grown more in the past year than I had in the 5 years prior. It’s all been intense and wonderful!!!

in light of…
My finals are coming up in a few weeks so, as you can imagine, my life is pretty much dominated by four main subjects: (1) criminal law, (2) torts, (3) contracts, and (4) civil procedure. Yum! Anyway, this is one of my looks from Cuba which, in light of the present one-sidedness of my life, remind me of the days when I had the luxury of entertaining thoughts of aesthetics, visual harmony, and all that good stuff. I can’t wait for that luxury again!
chartreuse green
On my last trip to the Caribbean I finally figured out that, when it comes to packing for a tropical vacation, the key to selecting appropriate pieces is all in the approach. Actually, the moment that I abandoned my preconceived notions of what vacation clothes should look like is the moment that packing for my trip became truly fun. This time around, as long as it had a looser silhouette, was made of light natural fabrics, and wasn’t some couture treasure I valued more than life, I gave it serious “could-this-work?” consideration. This loose, vintage, silk, shirt meets all this criteria but would’ve likely been neglected in the past. You’d be surprises how much perfect “beach clothes” is in your wardrobe. Next time you’re packing for a vacation, give that silk blouse, shall, or dress a second look. It might be part of your next favorite beach get-up.
tropicana life
This is my Hibiscus-Tropicana look from Cuba. I loved the radiance of the flowers growing all over the resort and I wanted to incorporate some of that floral goodness into one of my beach looks. For the head ornament, I used a simple headband to keep the flowers in place. I also included the turquoise necklace that my mum made as a way of breaking up the red. The inspiration for this whole looks is Cuba itself – bright, festive, and fun.
