This is somewhere that everyone should see at some point in their life. It is truly paradise. I can't remember the name of the island that we were on but the resort was called <a href="http://www.botaira.com/">Botaira</a>, and it was perfect. There is a breathtaking coral reef directly off of the beach where you can easily float through sans flippers and chill in the middle of large schools of fish above deep blue seastars. The resort itself has beautiful bungalows for couples and families, although I personally stayed in a dorm style building because our group was so large. There is also kayaks available for use at all times to see more of the island coast. The workers in the resort are amazing and some of the most friendly people ever (except possibly the Irish). The resort has no clock in it so you learn to relax and just enjoy yourself dudring the long days. To announce when they serve meals the would beat a drum and everyone would congregate. They most often served fresh fish that they caught earlier that day but also had several different feast type meals, one where it is cooked traditionally by being burried underground. Here are some pics of the views!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I just returned from my new year adventure to Europe with my bezzie C. So as I was ringing in the new year of 2011 in a club in London called New Slang I realized that this is going to be a year chock full of islands for me. <br />
Starting with Island #1: the United Kingdom<br />
Obvi where I was for New Year, it was a bit dreary but it never seemed to legitimately rain- it just kind of drizzles. Photo 1- everything that is British. I love it fish and chips in a red double-decker on a grey day next to the Thames. Photo 2- awesome graffiti at a skatepark downtown. Photo 3- more British things. Photo 4- an old US WWII airbase close to our friend Oli's place.<br />

We went to Cork and Dublin and I really want to go back in the spring or summer at some point to see the western coast around Galway. There is a large national park around there too and I would looove to see it (picture when Hilary Swank is backpacking in P.S. I Love You). The Irish seem to be very proud of their old jails- the men at the hostels that we were at both said that they were the best attractions in each city. We went to the one in Cork and it was interesting but REALLY depressing. I highly recommend anyone going to Cork. Kissing the Blarney stone was awesome as well and the grounds around Blarney are beautiful. Dublin was so so, but the Guinness factory was very interesting plus a pint and tasting is included in your ticket (about 9euros for students). I wish that we had had time for the whiskey factory as well but alas we did not. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZZf8bsUPTdnjNHnnC_NEO8KtoSu1DIRPk4SLJ-oW4DC8XalhrOJ1odXif6Sf8-XEQKAggzOCL15HXClUVZ_NMyjNiJg8oyHbNM59Tpo6BGu0H93pyW5kEBuSo1ZWVkOMmUOG7igfSggYw/s1600/DSC04817.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZZf8bsUPTdnjNHnnC_NEO8KtoSu1DIRPk4SLJ-oW4DC8XalhrOJ1odXif6Sf8-XEQKAggzOCL15HXClUVZ_NMyjNiJg8oyHbNM59Tpo6BGu0H93pyW5kEBuSo1ZWVkOMmUOG7igfSggYw/s320/DSC04817.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I had a completely wretched semester this fall with tons of work. Also I've been sick since October. Yayyyy! Although I think I've kicked it to the curb this time with a lovely zpack. It wasn't an all bad semester though, I did get spend time with my friends and the bf AND I'm going to be spending next semester in NEW ZEALAND. Yeah, dream. come. true. Oh and not to mention I am going to visit my love C in England and we're going to travel a bit together! I'm So Excited To See Her! So there is my life over the past semester.<br />
<br />
As for Christmas, it has been a pleasant enough one, I am currently sitting and watching a Christmas Story which is just a classic. Love it. Last night was the mom's side of the family get together at which everyone was surprisingly sober other than my sister who got completely sloshed. Today my mum and I are stopping in to see the dad's side of the family and my grandmother. Then the immediate family is coming over for dinner and presents. It should be lovely. <br />
<br />
On a side note, I was looking through my December Harper's for the first time last night and I was shocked to see the photos of Katy Perry! Who knew she could look to chic? <br />

The nights are crisp and Starbucks has pumpkin spice lattes. This is absolutely my favorite season and I've been complaining about the heat for awhile now and I should state that I do love summer, just not after I move back south and there's no beach! So as a tribute to summer, here are a few pictures from my last day at the beach avec ma famille :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-lnX2bXGRgjXrUMD6zYFOsxj7AG4OQYt3nCprO7QL67TfO_6RT6cf-vzKKLCfKHCgHTTEWQo87dO1NVlKxUW94Qhd6WXMNOcHmBzgLEoTsQjWMLga9LAaIsfSQmGV-CRqC52xK1AqBiFm/s1600/DSC04537.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-lnX2bXGRgjXrUMD6zYFOsxj7AG4OQYt3nCprO7QL67TfO_6RT6cf-vzKKLCfKHCgHTTEWQo87dO1NVlKxUW94Qhd6WXMNOcHmBzgLEoTsQjWMLga9LAaIsfSQmGV-CRqC52xK1AqBiFm/s320/DSC04537.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So for now, here is a canvas that I have painted over approximately 5 times because I have never been completely satisfied with it and I'm not entirely sure if I am now. I am leaving it alone for the time being and thinking about it; it's chilling on my living room wall. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I would love nothing more than to be part of Burberry's autumn winter 2010 modeling cast. How fabulously androgynous do they all look? (And what beautiful men! drool) The clothing in the new line is astounding as well. I adore how they have kept so true to their heritage and still manage something new every season. A lot of it has to do with how playful they are with their textile selections. My favorites? The Burberry Prorsum <a href="http://us.burberry.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4044296&cp=3965371.3991485.4206626&parentPage=family">brushed sheepskin coat</a> and <a href="http://us.burberry.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4162149&cp=3965371.3991485.4390630&parentPage=family">python thigh high boots</a>. I know a lot of people aren't a fan of Burberry's use of animal products but I can't help it; i love the luxury of fur and leather. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.voguereport.net/wp-content/uploads/Burberry_Fall2010_Ad-2.jpg"><img alt="Burberry FALL 2010 Ad" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1935" height="258" src="http://www.voguereport.net/wp-content/uploads/Burberry_Fall2010_Ad-2.jpg" title="Burberry FALL 2010 Ad" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

All of his inspirations come directly from nature, the little critters in it in particular, and he utilizes the symmetry brilliantly. My favorite is the crocodile jaw cuff:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="400" src="http://www.elle.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/sandbox/big-bite/big-bite/alligator-cuff/4923074-1-eng-US/alligator-cuff.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px;" title="" width="319" /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Unfortunately I cannot find where it is sold and his <a href="http://www.dominicjonesjewellery.com/">website</a> isn't wanting to work on my computer. I think an Internet Explorer update is in order. However a few of his pieces can be found on <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/Designers/Dominic_Jones">Net-a-porter</a>; I am salivating over the <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/67432">fang necklace</a> and <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/67423">claw ring</a> in particular. Now I just need to be out of college and have a marvelously high paid job so I can afford them :) You should also check out Dominic's <a href="http://www.dominicjonesjewellery.com/">blog</a>.

They are all affordable and I am ever so tempted to splurge and buy five or so different ones. They are documentation of the Maine landscape, which is one of the most beautiful states I've ever been to- if you've not been you should most certainly make a trip there. Bar Harbor is brilliant!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alright so for my last spring break I took a trip to Seattle to visit my friend, A, who is stationed there. She lives in Tacoma and we went all around the area. Seattle, Forks (ironically of course), La Push (not so ironically- it's bloody beautiful), Mt. Rainier, etc. So as I've been reaearching Auckland a lot lately -trying to study there- I found out that they have a space needle of sorts there and it got me to reminiscing about Seattle. Thus, I thought that I would post some of my fav pics from my trip. It would totally rock to live there at some point. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
