Merry Christmas, Darling

Hey, everyone! Look who’s back!

Yep, it’s my prettier half, who so kindly let me dress her up and take pictures of her. She’s like a real-life Barbie doll. Except I will never leave her floating face down in the bathtub or give her a buzz cut.

During one of my many long study sessions in bed with Coco sleeping peacefully next to me, I happened to glance into Kristin’s open closet and had this great idea for an outfit for her. I’m not really a fan of denim on denim for me, but since Kristin has more of a casual, misplaced-surfer-meets-nutty-professor style, I thought she could pull it off. Plus, I got her this sweater for Christmas a couple years ago, and I feel like she only wears it when I gently remind her to. Ahem. But it’s so cute.

OK, be sure to shower her with compliments in the comments so I can continue to convince her to be a model once in a while!

20121218-155744.jpgEveryone, I have an announcement: I AM HALFWAY DONE WITH LAW SCHOOL.

That’s right, 3 out of 6 semesters are done! I am feeling pretty good right now. I feel even better thinking about the wonderful month-long break that is now officially underway. I was already in the Christmas spirit (I found gift shopping a good way to clear my head in between studying for exams), but now I am extra jolly!

After turning in my last take-home exam, I freshened myself up (in a Beatles t-shirt I stole from Kristin’s closet – thanks, love) for dinner, drinks, and a movie.

In case you’re wondering, we saw Silver Linings Playbook. Some parts were kind of slow moving, but Bradley Cooper was seriously amazing. Who would have guessed? Overall it was very good. At my theater, an elderly couple walked out less than halfway through. And any movie that offends old people is good in my book.

P.S. This outfit was inspired by this photo I pinned awhile back.
