Notice the beautiful colors I see as I walk to my office in April.

We all had hope summer was arriving.

Notice the dead depressors I see as I walk to my office in May.

Shouldn't flowers be abundant one month closer to summer, not dead?!

Thanks for the subtle reality check/reminder that summer is never going to come, Mutha Naytcha.

Neon: Cool Past College?

Perhaps it is due to my alma mater’s overwhelming affiliation neon [ and theme parties], but I simply love bright colors and things that do not match.

Not just bright colors, sorryIcanthearyou,yourshirtistooloud bright colors. That, my friend, is a completely different level of color…and I adore it.

Since graduating from my country club Patagonia meets neon hick-wear university, I have had a difficult time integrating my love for neon into my young adult/semi professional life.

The big question: when is it appropriate to wear neon? Always.

The bigger [and more relevant] question: when is it not appropriate to wear neon? Never.

I have been struggling with the answers to these questions, as my natural thought processes are clearly not the politically correct answers.

I have taken it upon myself to create a list of times where it is [and isn’t] appropriate to wear neon.

It is appropriate to wear neon when:

• Anyone is drinking
• You are tan
• Someone is wearing sunglasses at an inappropriate time [think at night, indoors, or whilst cloudy]
• You are traveling
• Any type of day party
• You are in a group of St. Lawrence University young alumni
• There is potential for a party picture and/or fist pumping
  

It is not appropriate to wear neon when:

• You are at a funeral
• You are surrounded by people unaware of trendy fashion and/or extremely boring

I mean, this should clear up any and all confusion.

Please wear more neon.

Thanks, Twitter!

Those people over at Twitter are just so creative!

Thank god they explained this one to me.

Thats one that I probably would never have figured out.

Princess Kristin Does Sound Delightful

My Royal Wedding Thoughts, Abridged…

• Ohmygoditsaroyalwedding! Tea, scones, and clotted cream for all!
• I am now a self proclaimed Royal Wedding expert. Thanks to all of the television stations who temporarily morphed into the exclusive RWS (Royal Wedding Station), in addition to my acquired knowledge of Diana, which leads me to how…
• I wish Diana was there to see William all grown up, sigh [Please see the blog to follow re: my obsession with Diana, and how watching anything related to the Royal Family immediately makes me miss her, and despise CPB (Camilla Parker Bowles, for all you nons)]
• William and Kate are so much more in love than Charles and Diana were. It simultaneously breaks my heart, while also making me extremely optimistic about their future.
• Kate’s [very appropriate, yet sexy] dress(es)
• The panic attack that ensued after seeing the top of her dress and realizing it is almost exactly how I want my [far in the future, maybe there will be flying cars by then] wedding dress. Now, people are going to think that I was copying Kate, when in reality, she copied me. Relief shortly followed when I saw how billowy the bottom was. Girlfriend doesn’t want billowy.
• Kate’s [very tiny, her waist circumference is smaller than my head] body, and what she might eat [or not] to maintain said figure
• How I was able to read the royal couples lips as they were getting into the carriage post ceremony. Conversation goes as follows:
William: “Are you happy?”
Kate: “So very happy, are you?”
William: “Yes”
[insert giggles here]
[also insert Kristin’s heart melting here]

• A note on Nicknames: why is Kate spelled with a K, but her name is Catherine spelled with a C. Shouldn’t there be some kind of consistency? Is this normal for all Kates? Am I the only person who has noticed this typo? Please advise.- English hats and fascinators are trendy. I think American culture should also partake in these accessories. I mean, who doesn’t want to wear fun, fluffy hats?!
  
• Prince Harry and how he is a) so attractive…even more so than William b) a man in uniform and c) still single. There is still a chance for me, if Pippa doesn’t get him first.
• Pippa: hottest bridesmaid ever.
• Pippa and Harry forever. Okay, realistically, there is no chance for Harry and I, so I am campaigning for the joining of Pippa, hottest MOH ever, and Harry, hottest BM ever, to make Hippa, hottest royal couple ever.
