How to Lose Friends and Alienate People

No it's not the story of my life since I have been in Minneapolis although that would be an appropriate title. It's actually the name of a book I read not long after graduating from college. I think of it as the male version of The Devil Wears Prada. Clayton Harding is to Vanity Fair's Graydon Carter as Miranda Priestly is to Vogue's Anna Wintour. The Costume Institute gala at the MET is to an assistant at Vogue what the Vanity Fair Oscar party is to a peon at it's magazine. I could make analogies between the two books for days but I will spare you. The book is really funny and I loved it. It's not often that I enjoy a book with a male protagonist so that really says something. Unlike the Nanny Diaries I don't remember this book perfectly. Thus, I have high hopes for being satisfied with the inevitable movie version coming out in October starring Kirsten Dunst.

This week, the main thing on my mind is moving. On Sunday I will be moving all of my belongings to my new apartment by myself. People think because people tag me in photos with them on the facebook that I have friends here. They're wrong.

Plus Our Girls are Way Cuter

I take gymnastics too seriously. Last night's judging was undeniably super shady in China's 12 year old gymnasts' favor and we still won.

So take that China.

and that

and that

Oh. And that.

More to Smile About

I got a job for fall semester! I am going to be a research assistant in the career office. This is great news because there are a lot of beautiful argyle sweaters for me to choose from this fall.

Vineyard Vines 145.00

Lilly Pulitzer 188.00

And now for the Cashmere ones:

Brooks Brothers 248.00

Burberry 550.00

Sutton Studio 124.99

J Crew on sale for 59.99

If anyone finds any cuter than these, please let me know.

A Reason to Smile

I have been stuck working in Minnesota all summer, but at the end of September I will finally get to go to my favorite preppy vacation spot: Hilton Head, SC. My sister is all about the beach. I am all about the shopping. I will definitely be hitting up the Brooks Brothers and J Crew outlets. I am so happy to have something to look forward to. I really hope I get a job for fall semester so I can buy lots of cashmere argyle sweaters. Packing for this trip should be so much fun.
