since i've been in Aix, my staple go to outfits have consisted of cotton skirts oversized t-shirts and my motorcycle boots...it's comfortable, yet still keeps me cool on the 80+ degree days. this pic was taken once again after my art class..we just started oil painting and i absolutely love it! this past weekend i went to St. Tropez, it was so beautiful and the town was both quaint and luxurious. there were many stores that sold some of my favorite designers like Alexander Wang and Balmain...sadly i didn't buy anything.

i was inspired by alexander wang's side braid in his SS 10 runway show, although i wish my hair was longer! today, we went to this beautiful park right by our school. it's definitely the perfect place to relax and catch up on some homework in between classes! i have also been enjoying sipping a café crème at the various cafés around town while i finish my homework. the lifestyle here is so calm and nonchalant...i love it!

i just got back from a weekend in Paris...it was amazing! the trip was definitely a whirlwind..we got in on Friday night and left Sunday afternoon. we stayed with a friend who is styduying there and she showed us all her favorite spots. it was a lot of fun seeing Paris from the perspective of a student. we didn't do a lot of the touristy stuff- instead shopping, good food, and visiting some dance clubs. my camera died pretty much right after we got there, so i only got to snap a few pics..my friends took a ton, so hopefully i'll post some of those later.

i know it's been a very long time since my last outfit post..i've been so busy getting acclimated. needless to say, i absolutely love it here. i love the people, the lifestyle, the food, the list goes on and on. these pictures were taken on our way home from art class. the art studio is about a 45 min walk outside of the city, isolated on this huge hill over looking Mount St. Victoire. it's very inspiring.

I absolutely love it here! It is such a charming and quaint city, with narrow winding roads and colorful buildings with huge shutters. This first week I met my host family, who is amazing (the even have a dog!), had orientation at school and started classes. I've already met so many great people, I can't wait to see what the rest of the semester has in store!
