To cell phone belt holster wearers:

Your belt holster is an eye sore.  It's like pants genocide – now go write a bill to halt this troubling epidemic that has infiltrated beyond the beltway.  You deserve better. Washington deserves better.  I have Hope. Change?

Unrespectfully,
It's called a purse. Or a pocket. Or your adopted Korean child.

Jack Rogers Jelly Jokes and other Target Shenanigans

Cute Jack Rogers sandal, no?  Nope, these can be bought at Target – a pretty blatant know-off of the classic Navajo sandal.

Merona Enid whipstitch sandals $20

A common trend amongst many big retailers, Target has partnered with Miss Trish for a line of similarly designed sandals.  A few of the pairs are classic preppy, yet a little edgy – I'd pick over Jack Rogers!

Miss Trish for Target Jaguar sandals $25

It's interesting that Target has gone the collaboration and rip-off route at the same time.  So what does Miss Trish have over Jack?  It seems a bit of genuine leather...to be exact: part of the outsole!

Bare legs and sweaty necks for all! Couldn't have said it better myself....
No comment on the color story or the cheetah MILF bag. JSimp might be auditioning for the Real Housewives of Anywhere in this non-age appropriate ensemble...

Best Week Ever

I love Mac Miller's mixtape, but I was throughly disappointed with his show.  He had awkward stage presence, his posse of guys were in background playing charades to the lyrics, it got very awkward to watch.  Still recommend downloading some of his music.  I loved the opener for his show Tayyib Ali - "Keystone State of Mind", highly recommend downloading his music.  

A Cornell rising star also opened for Mac Miller --- Dylan Owen.  Love him! 

Also, got to see Sam Adams this past week. He was AMAZING.  I am obsessed with his hip-hop dubstep.  He gets so into his performance no matter the size of the crowd. He had fun lights to go along with the dubstep.  I was not crazy about his outfit, he rocked a frat tank at the OSU concert last year way better than the racecar driver shirt thing he was wearing the other night.  Sammy also had a great opener, Kyle Lucas. He has a different style, but I downloaded some of his music after the show and its pretty good. 

Word is, Sammy had a pretty good time with some Cornell sorority girls, let's hope he comes back to Ithaca soon.  

I was suppose to see Nelly and some other people perform on Slope Day, but that never happened..

nutmeg.

Trying to adapt or casually drink black coffee? A few months ago I was raving about cinnamon, but I have a new favorite.  It has become pretty trendy to use spices as coffee flavoring in place of sugar, etc.  Trendy enough, that Starbucks and Panera all provide an assortment of the usual sugars and creams, chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla and my new favorite nutmeg.  A light roast with nutmeg on top is actually amazing, my drink of choice this finals season.  Nutmeg, I think actually enhances the flavor of the coffee, while adding the spice component.  Whereas cinnamon, just floats around and you taste a chunk of it every few sips and it's actually not that great, you just tell yourself it rocks and sip away.  My suggestion, skip the cinnamon, do a light roast with nutmeg.

Pants Please!

Check out Huff Post's chart to determine whether or not you're wearing pants (sometimes a difficult call)...It's an "important style flowchart." Their words, not mine!

Law Students: Read the Fine Print.

In an attempt to lure better students and boost rankings that are largely based on GPA and LSAT scores, law schools are increasingly offering merit based scholarships...but there are strings attached.  To retain the scholarship, students must often maintain a GPA (3.0 or 3.25).  Unfortunately, many law schools aren't being up front about this stipulation and grading policies (like distributing grades on a fixed curve, which can make an easy-sounding 3.0 difficult to achieve)...

Many law students have found themselves owing their law schools money in later semester after not reading the scholarship's fine print.  Sounds like some lawyer tricks to me...
