South African Vacation

Don't pictures like these of Singita Lebombo Lodge in South Africa just make you want to quit your day job and spend your life traveling all over the world? Thanks to the ladies over at Honestly WTF I have officially caught the travel bug. I am going to plan some local trips this weekend.

Gingham Shirts Are Having a Moment

I feel like gingham shirts are popping up everywhere, and I think they look adorable popping out from under sweaters and jackets. There's a cute J. Crew version on Net-a-Porter (see below), but I think I'm going to keep my eye out for a grey/navy/black option.

Headhouse Farmers Market

Who doesn't love a good farmers market? Headhouse farmers market pops up on Sundays from 10-2 in the Society Hill neighborhood, the neighborhood just to the west of where I lived. It's not that large, but it has sort of a funny personality. It feels like it doesn't take its wholesome, trendy, farm-to-table vibe too seriously. I only wish I had gone more often. I got some of the best peaches I've had in years there.

Chemical free. Booyah!

First Day of School

Image from J. Crew's adorable kids collection. I would definitely wear this one my first day of school.

Classes start again tomorrow. Remember how excited you used to get as a child for the first day of school? I can't say I feel that, but I am excited to start my last year of law school! Only one more year, and I'm determined to make it a good one.

Washington Square Park

This is the namesake park of the Philadelphia neighborhood I lived in this summer (Washington Square West). I loved living near this park because it had lots of open grassy areas for lounging on. I took advantage of that with impromptu picnics of fresh food that I picked up at Headhouse farmers market and lazy afternoons of reading outside.

Washington Square is also historically interesting (most things in Philly are) because it is the grave site for thousands of Revolutionary war soldiers and other citizens. And while the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for all other wars is in Arlington Cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Revolutionary War Soldier and its eternal flame is in this park.

Loafers for Fall

Even though I have wanted a pair of loafers for months, I still have not gotten one. And now the problem is compounded because 1) fall is coming so now loafers are really in season and 2) high heeled loafers are also making a comeback so I want those now too. I need to do some serious loafer shopping asap. Any good LA shoe store recommendations?

Twisted Gold Ring

Lust! I just saw this website - Bauble Bar, and I'm obsessed. Everything is so reasonably priced! This ring is thus far my favorite.
