After taking Step 1 yesterday, I decided to treat myself to a mental health day. A day of sleeping in, wandering around Friendship Heights, trying on lots of makeup and clothes, and catching up on Grey’s Anatomy. I’ve been seeing lots of bright pink lipstick around lately, and was interested in trying it out myself.
I went into Sephora and found this lovely Nars shade, Schiap.
I decided to walk around Bloomies to decide if I liked it, and one of the saleswomen came up to me and asked me what color I had on (score!).
In the end, I decided to hold off, cause I’m not sure I can get away with wearing this in lab or at the hospital, but I can’t promise I won’t go back for it later :).

Here’s the puppy announcement we’ve been sending out to our friends and family! Meet Riley, our almost 6 week-old Cavachon. It’ll be a while before she comes to live with us (Andrew has to go get her from Southern California in mid-June), but we could not be more excited! For more puppy posts, check out my new doggy blog at http://lebonchien.tumblr.com/.

It was over 80 degrees today…a sure sign that Spring is ending here in Maryland (le sigh). These hot temps have me dreaming of clambakes and trips to the Cape (as Elle Woods so eloquently put it). Here’s what I would wear:
A stripey tank with an adorable bow from Top Shop.
My all-time favorite red nail polish, Essie’s Clambake.
And this sailing bracelet. How cute is that anchor clasp?
What does the impending heat wave have you dreaming of?

Just snapped this picture in the parking lot of my apartment. It’s finally warm enough to pull out all my summer skirts! Yay!!
Enjoy your weekend,
Sydney
You may have noticed that posts have been few and far between these days. I have officially set my date for STEP1 of the medical boards (Finally!!). So, for the next month, this will be me…
I cannot WAIT to be done, and will hopefully have lots of free time in June for DIY projects that I can share.
Until then,
Sydney

Sol and I did a little retail therapy at the mall today to lift me out of my study funk. I was looking for something exciting and summery, but the Asian in me steered me towards two super-sale sweaters at J. Crew (one of which I already own in another color). What do you do when something you previously bought gets marked down even further? Buy it in another color, I say!
(I already have this one in grey with navy stripes. Womp womp.)
I am embarrassed by how long it took me to bite the bullet and buy these “boring” basics. After the 30% off and the extra 15% student discount, each one was less than $12! Retail therapy at its finest!
Cheers,
Sydney
PS- My favorite retail therapy purchase actually occurred earlier today on One King’s Lane. Check out my new puppy blog if you want a peek!

I lured Andrew into town this weekend, with the promise of taking him down to the tidal basin to get a glimpse of the (hopefully still there) cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, they bloomed super early this year, and were all gone by the time we got there :(.
As a consolation prize, they planted a bunch of pretty tulips for people to look at.
Thankfully, we had also planned on hitting up some of the museums, so it wasn’t a total wash.
American History Museum:
Natural History Museum:
Air and Space Museum:
And since a touristy day wouldn’t be complete without pictures with the Washington Monument…here you go!
Hope you had a lovely weekend as well!

As you’ve probably noticed, posts have been few and far between these days…thanks to lots of work deadlines and travel. But now that I’ve gotten a few key items off of my plate, I’m starting to feel super happy! And what could be happier than rainbows?!
I must find an occasion to bake a rainbow cake!

As if his taste in women weren’t tragic enough, it turns out I’m not the only one who thinks that Ben Flajnik looks like Francine Frensky, the aardvark (a cartoon aardvark, I might add!). Womp Womp…
Poor guy!
Who are you rooting for between the two girls who are left? My guess is that he chooses Courtney and that they are already broken up by the time the “After the Rose Ceremony” episode airs. Also, if ABC is up to their usual tricks, methinks that Kasey B may be tapped as the next next Bachelorette (after Emily Maynard!). Thoughts?
