A New Dress

I needed another dress like I need a whole in my head, but who I am to turn down Vineyard Vines. Yay!

Midnight Train to GA

I'm in GA again. But I don't want to talk about it. I got this survey off JGIWC.

Favorite color: Green! Not only is it part of my last name, but it's also the color that can take me from gloomy to happy.
Favorite Brands/Designers: Kate Spade for clothes, Chanel for accessories, and Burberry for outerwear
Favorite Restaurant: Olive Garden. Don't laugh. The salad is just so good. I'm a regular at The Crooked Tree in the East Village and Sala Thai on the Upper East Side.
Hobbies: I don't have any. After finishing with the bar I realizes that school is all I know how to do. I do love to swim and dance but I really need to get a hobby.
Favorite thing about yourself: My ability to stick to my principles.
What does your room look like (color scheme, theme, etc.): I don't have a room right now. If I did, I would want it to have all my collages that friends have made for me throughout my life decorating the walls to remind me of various times when my life was full of lots of friends and fun. It really means a lot to me when people make these for me.
If you could have dinner with 2 people (dead or alive) who would they be: Mariah Carey and Hillary Clinton
What is your next “big splurge”: A Chanel Bag. But who knows when that will be!
What is your favorite joke, quote, or saying: 1 Corinthians 15:58
Anything else you would like us to know about you (random fact)!? I was awarded the title of "most dramatic" in the second grade.

I love it here. Correction. I loved it here.

I have reached rock bottom. I recently moved from the Upper East Side to Harlem and oh what a difference 25 streets make. I can't sleep. It's 3:47 am and I am creeping around my apartment completely afraid for my life. I called my dad because all the shooting outside was scaring me. I told him that I need to move out of my apartment and possibly all the way home to Georgia. That wasn't as scary as when they started shooting into my apartment building. According to the police that just left my apartment a few minutes ago, the apartment below me got shot up and they just barely missed me. I didn't even want to open the door for the police. I was half asleep, half naked, and my peep hole is completely inadequate. I only opened the door on faith that they were truly the police. There is a helicopter circling my building.

This morning three people were stabbed at random. Two people in my subway station and one in a nearby park. There was blood everywhere all day long. I have never seen so much blood.

Saturday night I heard loud yelling and I looked out through the balcony sliding doors. Hundreds of guys were running down the street. They were chasing someone down the block. Then there were gunshots. When I told my sister how scared I was and that I hid in the hallway of my apt because the bedroom is against the street she thought I was paranoid. She said that I am on the 5th floor and that I should be fine. Well I am not fine. I am again crouching in the hallway. I am thinking of what I can do to best avoid having my body penetrated by bullets tonight. Saturday night I became a Republican. Tonight I became a Giuliani supporter. Too far? Sorry.

I had no idea it was this bad up here. I never thought I would willingly let police into my apartment without a warrant. That is who I am now. Someone told me this week that it's time to get out of New York. I think she was right. Praise God that I have survived here for nearly a month, but I didn't suffer through three years of law school just to be randomly stabbed or shot dead in my apt at night. I don't believe my life is any more valuable than any of the poor children who have to suffer through this nightmare with no escape route. I have and escape route and I would be a fool not to take it. So I couldn't even survive one month in a black neighborhood. I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry. I got myself into a dangerous situation and I will get myself out. By any means necessary. I need a lot of prayer.

I do not want to leave the city. I love it here. Correction. I loved it here.

She Wears Short Shorts

Shorts look terrible on me. I recently got my first pair of shorts in about 14 years. It wasn't easy. I hate how they ride up when I sit down and how I get this huge weird hump thing. I love these Lilly ones though:

Callahan Short Printed Poplin

Callahan Short Seersucker

Vineyard Vines has some cute ones too:

Little Palm Patchwork Shorts

Alligators Lazy Shorts

Starfish Shorts

And while I'm on this VV kick, I sure wouldn't mind this super cute dress.

Out to Sea Sundress

Just Added

So I just added some pink and green from Vineyard Vines to my wardrobe.

Turtleback Tank Striped

Compass Rose Cami (in green)

I wish I had arms like the model in that pic!

I've Got Mail

You can tell a lot about me by the address updates I've made since moving: Kate Spade, Lilly Pulitzer, Vineyard Vines, Brooks Brothers, J Crew, J. McLaughlin, Vera Bradley, Town & Country, Cosmo, Seventeen (they still send it to me for free and I don't know why), New York State Bar Association, New York County Lawyer's Association, American Bar Association, University of Minnesota Law School, University of Minnesota, NYU Stern, New York University, and the Official Mariah Carey Fan Club. I hope that's everyone cause I'm beat. Everyone else will just have to find me on their own!
