Well, it’s FINALLY spring break!  While I’m not going anywhere tropical, I am heading to the suburbs of Pittsburg to visit my grandparents. I’m hoping that we get to spend some time in the actual city, visiting the Andy Warhol museum, and checking out the Farmers market. But of course, I am excited to hit each and every cute store that I find! Don’t let the location fool you, small towns can carry some awesome stuff! It was in a little boutique in Upstate New York where I found my purse made out of ties! I’m hoping to find something adorable while I’m there, but if not, I’ll still be having fun visiting family.

Of course, when I get home I’m planning on heading into the city with my friends, you know, NYC!  With the warm weather picking up, it’s time to really spring shop! Currently, I’m on the hunt for the perfect peasant top, and I’m looking to get a new pair of TOMS. While I’m shopping in NYC and Pittsburg I have to be mindful to take a ton of pictures of the merchandise for my final project. We have to have 75 photos of store windows and displays and document the trends for this year. I’m looking forward to a kick starting my project!

While I have some time off, I’ll also be planning my new room. I’m redoing it and I have to get everything just right, from the art deco posters to the Tuscany orange paint color. Designing my room is one of my favorite things to do, I redo it about once every 2 years. In sixth grade I came home one day, bought paint, and made my walls polka-dotted, from there it took a turn to a beachy theme, then I became more sophisticated with a black, white, and turquoise color scheme, but now I’m back to a So- Cal/ Mexican inspired room. I may seem like a lot for just one week, but I’m not one to just lounge at home! What are you doing for your break?
