Happy Friday! I'm excited for the weekend to begin, I have lots of fun things planned.  Meeting up with some friends, shopping and going to my Aunt's house for a sleepover (to watch The Hobbit and get a massage! Woo!) My first week at my new place of residence has been lovely, except for the two gross spiders in my room. My commute still takes the same amount of time but somehow it's easier even though I have to drive for 25 minutes in traffic to get to the train instead of 8 minutes.

Also, I think I am doomed to be single forever.  I cannot handle myself around boys (or people in general for that matter.) Get ready for the most boring/pointless story ever that has me very depressed:

So yesterday on my ride to NYC I sat behind a boy on the train and thought nothing of it.  When we were pulling into Grand Central he stood up and hit his head on the suitcase rack thing and of course I laughed to myself (don't worry, he didn't notice.)  Then as people were leaving the train he dropped his metro card and everyone was just stepping over it so he couldn't get it. So when I got there I picked it up for him and gave it back.  He said "Thanks so much!" and I said "You're welcome" with my cute smile (aka not really) and left the train.    

I was walking pretty quickly and weaving in and out of people and all of a sudden he was next to me again and said "I just wanted to thank you again! Most people would have just walked right over it and I never would have gotten it back." All I could muster was "No problem! *smile*" then we were still next to each other for a bit and I could tell he wanted to say something else but I wasn't really looking at him (because I'm shy and awkward)...then we turned different ways.... It was the PERFECT Meet Cute and I ruined it!

This is the last of the Spring 2012 collections that I'm posting. First up is Matthew Williamson. I love the colors and prints in this collection. A lot of these looks would totally work for Fall, but Fall is pretty much coming to a close now so they would need a heavy jacket.

Issa:The bottom three looks I chose are my favorites, the print is amazing and would look wonderful at the beach.  The top 3 are more upscale and would work for dinner parties or other fancy events.

Elie Saab: I loved the rich colors of this collection. It is so glamorous, I just wish I had an occasion to wear something like this.  The cuts are so amazing and would flatter almost anyone.  If you switched out the fabrics in the shorter dresses to jersey or another more casual material they would definitely be great for work environments as well.

Prada: This collection was so fun, I loved all the car themed shoes. But I decided to post some more wearable looks.  The length of the skirts is perfect, they aren't too short and they aren't too long.  And the bathing suit has an amazing cut, I would definitely rock that on the beach.
