stubborn love

blogging in a cafe. that is what i do. im enjoying a warm croissant and the most delicious mocha latte the world has ever known on a tiny wooden round table at boston common coffee co. i'm planning my trip to the uk and catching up of some much over-due reading. (naturally its fitzgerald). i find myself writing down quotes more than actually reading. he is just so brilliant. 

"Well, I can't describe her exactly--except to say that she was beautiful. She was-- tremendously alive". 

"And in the end, we were all just humans...drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness"  

"I wish I'd done everything on this earth with you"

Oh Fitzgerald...you make me swoon.

yesterday was a good day of picture taking, cambridge exploring, and friend hanging. a new (and very lovely) friend of mine picked me up and we went out to brunch at the friendly toast in cambridge; if you're ever in the area and looking for a good place to eat i'd definitely recommend it...just expect a long wait. we then spent the rest of the afternoon taking pictures around the charles and harvard square. 

god i love harvard square. i'm apartment hunting in the area. fingers crossed i find something good!

in the evening i met with my good friend and we just took funny pictures together. 

i love photographing her, we tend to be really immature when we are together but that's the fun in our friendship. everyone needs someone to laugh at their dirty jokes and awkward dance moves. it helps that she is a bombshell so photographing her is rather easy.

i'm very self critical of pictures of myself but i love this one. i think it just categorizes me perfectly. messy hair (i never do my hair), awkward stance, and double-chinned laugh. not to mention, (despite my weird thing against outfit repeating) i wear these overalls all the time. they are my favorite.

harvard | cambridge

ahh what a day. five hours of class, a two hour meeting, dinner with a friend, an early screening of last vegas, and coffee with a colleague. i am quite tired. 

yesterday was more of a relaxing day. i went to cambridge with my lovely gent for the holiday. the weather couldn't of been more perfect. we took a stroll through harvard university and a slow and peaceful walk admiring the old colonials down brattle street, i kept thinking one day...one day i may call a house of such grace home (dream big right?). until then ill just dream and stand back in awe. 

a picture of me on brattle st. i loved the cast iron fence. 

(jcrew jeans, madewell shoes, a vintage sweater, vintage dana buchman jacket, and madewell's transport tote).

harvard is just gorgeous. the courtyard was filled with hundreds of brightly covered chairs and benches. no matter the season, harvard always finds a way to look absolutely stunning. it is the best place to people watch (besides ikea of course). 

a trip to cambridge would not be complete without shopping in harvard square. the square has the best cafes and there is an adorable hat shop i would undoubtfully recommend. the music is usually fantastic as well. 

i enjoyed the day so much im already planning my next trip.
