On her last trip to Toronto, my mom bought me these amazing mirrored crystal and pearl Lanvin earrings that I’ve been dying to put to use. When the prospect of going to the opera arose this weekend, I immediately thought of them. This Friday didn’t go exactly as planned and the opera outing is still pending, but I made sure to get a little more acquainted with these babies regardless. Well, as it turns out, the earrings are pretty heavy and kill my earlobes…but the pain is worth it. Anything for Lanvin.

I was lucky to have gotten away from studying last week for a night of ballet in San Francisco. George Balanchine’s Coppelia was a beautiful show – its lightheartedness a refreshing departure from the drama and tragedy of opera I so willingly subject myself to. I wore my new tulip Prada dress for this occasion. In a matter of one night we became pretty acquainted: first in the rain, then on the train, and finally at the ballet.

One midterm down, one to go, and then it’s sweet spring break for Lida. I was hoping to be able to go on a little vacation to Hawaii but my Japan and Korea plans for this summer are putting some serious strain on my spending capacity. I am so excited about going to Asia that I can barely contain myself. Exploring, growing, exploring some more…and lots and lots of kimchi.
It’s my Birfday!!!
I’m turning 27 today – a big girl now. Funny…I don’t feel any different. We were planning on starting the long road-trip/move to California today because I need to be at the law school orientation by mid-August, and I still have no idea where I’m going to live when I’m there. We’ve postponed the departure date for another 20 hours so it’ll be a b-day full of packing and planning. As is usually the case with us fiery Leos, I’m big on birthdays and try to savor their every moment. And as uneventful as today’s b-day is likely to be, I’m more excited than ever.

The Revolve shoot was an interesting but insanely tiring experience. The idea was to have the four chosen bloggers style and model five outfits each for the Revolve summer guide. As soon as the guide is launched on their site I’ll post the pictures here and tell you the stories behind each look.
