Even though I’m not on vacation per se, my days have definitely taken on a vacation feel to them. Ever since I came back from Vegas a few days ago, it’s been all about recovery and rejuvenation. Celebrating the completion of our 1st year with my classmates in Vegas was a blast but it left me in a state of serious post-party laziness. I found myself having to soak in some vitamin D long enough to recharge my batteries.

The weather was so beautiful while we were preparing for exams that I remember picturing myself by the pool as soon as exams were over. I pictured a bright bikini, a large hat, mohitos, and something festive playing in the background. Well I tried that today, with my Michael Kors straw tote in hand and everything else I described. Only as soon as I just about finished with my set up it started raining. Um, so now I’m inside…still hoping that my dream could materialize today.

In the last few post I briefly mentioned what my school looks are like but I haven’t shown you any examples so here is my first school-look-post. A light dress, cozy cardigan, and a statement piece is my go to combination when I’m rushing out the door for the 9 o’clock torts or contracts class. Nothing like cashmere to make you feel like you are still in bed

Our first morning in Cuba was just as warm and bright as I had hoped for. We stayed at Melia Las Antillas in Varadero – an adults only resort about 2.5 hours from Havana. As soon as we arrived, our internal clock seemed to have instinctively switched to “vacation mode” because the concept of time seemed especially relative and unimportant – a mental state that in Cuba promotes both relaxation and…hunger. We kept missing breakfast for the first half of the vacation so our mornings began with a cappuccino or Spanish coffee and a brownie; talk about a well balanced diet.
hearting it
I went through this phase about a year ago when I was really into Alice + Olivia. Their itty-bitty dresses range from sexy, sequined, and body-con to girly satin numbers with sweetheart necklines and peplum waists. Their designer Stacey Bendet’s says that “These clothes are fun…they’re like candy” and that’s exactly how it feels to wear my Alice+Olivia heart dress; like I just had a sugar rush. Too much Alice+Olivia and you might get a cavity.
