Lovely Chloe Ads

Every time I post I feel compelled to talk about about fashion, because of the namesake of course.

I think the Chloé ad campaigns have been gorgeous throughout the years...they really convey the spirit of the house perfectly.

I am loving the sunshine these last couple of days. Finally some real Californian weather, right in time for Spring Break. I DID get the TWO cards from Nisha, and I read them with a huge smile on my face. Reading something that I can hold in my hand, in that amazing handwriting is so much more real than email or perhaps worse, Facebook. I had not checked my mail in like a month, so thanks for the reminder too! I got a magazine "Popular Science" which probably belongs to the last person who lived in my room. What can say, what a HORRIBLE magazine, not nearly as interesting as your letter!

Instead of Studying for Finals...

...I am listening to music, cleaning my room, and staring at this shirt designed by the 12-year-old Style Rookie which I really want to buy but is a little out of my budget right now....what's new? Finals week, also known as hell week to many at UCSD, is here :( And with my nearly nonexistent immune system, I have been sick for the bajillionth time this quarter and am SO behind in my studying....so I probably shouldn't be blogging right now but whatever. So I was looking at the Style Rookie blog and found that this 12 year old child GENIUS designed this really cute shirt inspired by Yves Saint Laurent and I really like the black print or the metallic copper...thoughts? (It's on the right side of the page) Anyhow, I cannot WAIT to go home to PA!!!!! I miss it SO MUCH SO MUCH SO MUCH!!! And then off to Honduras! Fun, fun, fun! :)

I hope everyone remembered to set their clocks ahead and sprung forward this morning! Most people grumble and groan about this daylight savings because we lose an hour of sleep, but this is my favorite time of the year! It means we get to have longer sunny days which means more time to go to the beach and more time to wear summer and spring clothes!

So I recently attended this Excel Leadership Conference at our school and there was a professor from Colorado who spoke to us and it was really quite inspiring and I thought I could maybe post about his speech but sadly I don't really remember what he talked about...I should really take better notes seeing as how my memory resembles that of Dory from Finding Nemo (best movie ever by the way)! Anyways he did mention that 7 key points about living our lives...I'm not entirely sure of what he meant by all of them now but here they are anyways:

FOUNDATION, PRIORITIES, VIRTUES, HUSTLE, FIGHT, LISTEN, LAUGH

Make what you will of those 7 things...He also showed us a video clip which I haven't seen in a while but immediately brought tears to my eyes and I even saw some frat guys tear up! Most of you have probably seen this already since it's not new but I think its worth watching more than once. It's a great reminder of what we are capable of as humans with motivation and determination. The end up the video is the most inspiring when everyone comes together to cheer Jason on. Enjoy :)

Tears streaming down your faces yet?

Well that's all I have for now! Can't wait to go home in 3 days! Tenny, when are you going to be home? I'd love to see you before Honduras or on a weekend when I come home after Honduras! Email me! Also did you get something in your mailbox? :)

And here are my song obsessions for the day:

Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters ~ Mandy Moore
Fast Car ~ Tracy Chapman
Wedding Dress ~ Matt Nathanson
Ma Belle Evangeline ~ Jim Cummings

Fashionably Yours,

Gummy Bears, Protests, and Other Things

Okay I realize I've been bad about posting lately but it's only because I had nothing to say. But now I do :)
So today, March 4th, UCSD is having a huge protest and my class was cancelled!. There's people with signs, helicopters, media, megaphones, and its kind of intense (nowhere near as intense as Berkeley's protests though, I'm sure!). They're protesting the recent fee hikes and I even heard that some students are embarking on a two week walking journey to Sacramento from San Diego (kind of insane if you ask me...)!

Ok isn't this just like the coolest thing you've ever seen?! It's a chandelier made out of gummy bears. My new life goal is to get one of these in my house when I own a house. It's called a "Candelier" and is made by a company called Jellio. There's 5,000 gummy bears strung together! :)

So my mom sent me this video and it's INSANE. Their timing is SO precise and perfect. I wish I was this amazing.


Not much else has really been happening here...my rainbows finally came (the right ones)!...Oh and I'm super excited to go to Jhoomti Shaam this weekend at UCLA! Other than that, not much else to say but here's some music for you all:

Dancing Shoes ~ Gavin DeGraw
More Than This ~ Missy Higgins
Valentine ~ Kina Grannis
Make Her Say ~ Kid Cudi
Don't Stop The Music ~ Jamie Cullum (this is super cool!)
Brave ~ Leona Lewis
Ashes and Wine ~ A Fine Frenzy
Miss Invisible ~ Marie Digby
Healing Hands ~ Citizen Cope

Fashionably Yours,
Nisha

P.S. Congrats to Berkeley on the PAC-10 win!!
