Black Lace


Well, look what we have here; I finally had time to take outfit pictures! It's a miracle, really. Between school, work, and the rain over the weekend, I was beginning to think I'd never have an outfit post on here again. Thankfully, I'm having a slow day today, so Jenn and I were able to sneak in some time after our features writing class to take these. Sure, I may be behind on writing two stories for that class, but that's besides the point. (If anyone is accusing me of being a bad student right now, I should mention that the professor is my advisor for the paper and is okay with me turning them in late. See, folks? Just get a job with your professors and you can guarantee a passing grade in all your classes! Tune in next week for more life lessons from Elana.)

Other than getting by in classes, my life has been all about internship hunting lately. It's the most frustrating process, really. The deadlines for half of the ones that interest me was two months ago, the other half haven't even posted summer internship listings yet. So, keep your fingers crossed for me that someone wants to hire me. And if any of you have connections with fashion or journalism companies based out of Orange County or L.A., feel free to put in a good word for me. Please and thank you.

One More Sunny Day


It's my last day in California! Unfortunately, I'm stuck with a cold and packing my life into two suitcases, but at least I've still got sun, 52 degree weather, and palm trees in my backyard. Also, in other good news, Oscar nominations were announced yesterday which makes being stuck at home a little more okay. Anyone else excited about the nominations? The director category was definitely surprising (not Bigelow, Affleck, or Hooper?), but the fact that Django got a couple nods (Christph Waltz is my hero) and Silver Linings Playbook got a bunch is enough to make me happy. I get REALLY into the Oscars, if anyone was wondering.

I suppose I should talk about the outfit a little, shouldn't I? If Flock Together has given me anything, other than getting to know some awesome girls, it has helped give me motivation to look at the items in my closet differently. I missed this dress while it traveled to some of my favorite bloggers, so I've been wearing it quite a lot since I got it back. This time, I decided to wear it as a top to mix things up. Of course, I didn't go without sleeves for too long, but a few minutes with bare arms for photos didn't hurt.
