Virginia and Georgetown trip

Morning bloggers! So this past weekend was one of the most fun I've had all summer. My family and I headed down to Virginia for a UVA tour and to visit friends!

 UVA tour

 

Obviously UVA has a beautiful campus, but honestly the more I heard about UVA, the LESS I wanted to go there..

 Two thirds of the student population is from Virginia, which makes it that much harder for out -of -staters to get in.

Also, I had lunch in one of the dining halls and all the students seemed super homogenous. It just really didn't seem like that much diversity there and I don't want to a college where people are segregated and everyone groups off. That just struck me as a little bit too high school. 

The school definitely had some cool aspects, like a late night car service and free admission to all games (aswell as an on-campus Chipotle.. umm amazing).

But altogether, it was definitely not the school for me.

Georgetown

Living in one of the most widely known and adored towns in America, I've always thought, "Well, it can't get much better than this."

Georgetown has proved me wrong. 

I literally have not been able to stop thinking about Georgetown ever since I left. It honestly made me wanna go to Georgetown University so bad (if only I could get in). It's the most amazing town I've ever been in. Here were some of the highlights of my trip:

The J.crew in Georgetown

It's no secret I'm a J.crew addict. So if there's any stop I'm going to make in Georgetown, it's to J.crew. Sadly, I didn't get anything. BUT, just a couple days ago, I did happen to order this sweatshirt. So while shopping with my mom and our family friends, Abby and her mom Irene, we spotted this exact sweatshirt, the last one, and in Abby's size. Of course she had to try it on. She ended up needing a different size, but she loved it so much, they ended up ordering it to their house! 

Long story short, we will be #twinning in J.crew this winter!

Cute, right?

Sequoia

We went to a restaurant called Sequoia for dinner and it really was divine! We sat outside and the view of the river was so breathtaking. I had Charcuterie which was delish and it was such a great time!

We were gonna go to D.C. cupcakes.. if the line wasn't half a mile long, we would have.

All together though, I have to say Georgetown was definitely the highlight of my summer so far! 

Have you ever been to Georgetown? Did you love it as much as I did?

If you didn't know, I am a huge movie person. Specifically, romantic comedies. you name one, I've seen it. So here is my very-unofficial list of the top 10 romantic comedies of all time (in no particular order).

1. You've got mail



An absolute classic! With three very important main characters, Joe, Kathleen, and Manhattan 

2. 27 dresses

Saw this movie when I was 13 and definitely share the main character's obsession with weddings! Such a fun storyline and I'm a sucker for James Marsden (the romantic male lead).

3. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past



This will not be the last time you see Jennifer garner on this list. Oh and the mansion that the whole movie takes place in? I'm definitely getting married there.

4. Sydney White



My obsession with being in a sorority started here,but it's also because of this movie that when i rush, I will be skeptical about Kappa

5. Bride Wars

I'm honestly shocked that this movie got such bad ratings because I think it's hilarious and perfect and I love Kate Hudson AND Anne Hathaway. What's not to love?

6. 17 again

I don't care what anybody says, THIS is the Zac Efron I know and love.

7. 13 going on 30


Here she is again and I like her even more in this one. It's such a sweet story, you'll be rooting for Jenna and Matt all the way through.

8. Something Borrowed


This movie makes me want Shake Shack. and a cute lawyer like Dex.

9. 16 Candles


I mean, even though her family forgot her birthday, she did get the attention of the hottest senior in her school. I'd say that's a pretty good deal.

10. When Harry Met Sally 



If you haven't seen this, I don't event think you can call yourself a true rom-com fan


Did I miss any of your faves? Let me know!

FIT hits NYC

So on my summer list I had put, "Have dinner in NYC with my friends from FIT" and I can officially check that bad boy off my list :)

 

 We went to SUCH a cool restaurant called Elmo, between 19th and 20th on 7th ave. We split the truffle fries as an appetizer which I could have totally eaten all by myself they were so amazing. And the dessert? Salted caramel rice krispie treat with ice cream. I know, my mouth is watering. They even had a disco ball that turned on once is got later. My friends and I were by far the youngest people there but it was nice to feel like a hip-happening New Yorker, even for just one night.

All together it was such a great night, but not just because I love New York and great food. I met these girls at an FIT pre-college styling class. I expected to go into this course, make some acquaintances to help me get through the days, but mainly focus on the class and the things about the fashion industry I was learning. This really turned out not to be the case, as now I realize that the only real everlasting thing from the course were these friendships. (From left to right) Kaitlyn, Jessie, Nicole, me, and Cara. And we were actually missing one of our buds, Kayla, who couldn't make it that night. I got so lucky in meeting them and I am so surprised at how close we got during 5 short weeks. I feel closer to them than I do some of my own friends, probably because we met at a place where we all shared such a common interest and now, goals. Anyway, I love these girls and I know that we'll all bump into each other as we grow up and all get into the fashion industry.

It just goes to show that the best things in life are not planned
