coffee + crafts

It's getting hard to deny that I am back in school ... considering I am already 1/3 of the way through the semester. The past couple of weeks have been crowded with coffee cups, my renewed interest in pastels (that are now covering my desk), Enlightenment philosophy, and depressing dining hall food.

I also have been admiring my small collection of gold jewelry. These are things I would like to lay out on a delicate cake stand next to my Dior perfume one day, but for now a drawing in progress will do. I especially love the Christina Hendricks inspired Kate Spade pen necklace from Domenico and the kissing couple and E R earrings from Kaylie. (The kissing necklace will certainly be part of my Valentine's Day outfit.)

In other news, I have found a guilty pleasure clad in denim overalls and oversized plaid button downs: My So-Called Life. It is so delightfully 90's, not to mention teenage angst-ridden. Netflix, man.

I swear that I am not just drawing and watching dramas from the 1990's though. My current reading list consists of The Aeneid, Othello, and Freud's "Dream-work and Interpretation." See? My days are nearly productive.
