As the holidays come to an end, I decided to upload some photos I captured during my time spent in the wonderful city of Charleston, South Carolina. If you have never been, Charleston is one of the oldest cities in the United States and is filled with beautiful buildings dating from the Colonial Era (1600′s).
pleats & plaid
Nick and I visited The Windy City last weekend for the Bon Iver concert (which was bananas!), we also made time to venture to State St. for some retail therapy. We went to the stores most semi-broke college kids/recent alumnus go to: f21, H&M, Nordstrom Rack and some lovely boutiques that made us say things like
Keeping tabs on Santa from cookies to houses to presents
Santa is currently half way around the world according to NORAD’s Santa Tracker. The North American Aerospace Defence Command has been tracking Santa for more than 50 years using radar, satellite, fight planes and, now, a “Santa Cam” using Google Earth.

Music Monday: Lana Del Rey
Lizzy Grant known as Lana Del Rey on stage, combines old Hollywood sound with modern lyrics. Her husky voice, seductive demeanor and music videos sampling grainy 1950’s nostalgia make me actually want to watch a music video for the first time since the Spice Girls (judge away).
