About Me


the girl
My name is Kelly and I live and attend college in Washington DC, a city I love and love to write about.  I'm an aspiring journalist and hope someone will give me a job after I graduate.  I'm randomly allergic to blood orange.  I'm a firm believer in going barefoot, procrastinating, and surrounding oneself with good company and even better food.

the food
DC eats and products of my mad cooking skills.  The brutal truth is that I love to eat and cook, but most of the time I have no idea what I'm doing in the kitchen. So I approach it like most things in life: have a plan, but always be prepared to improvise.

the obsessions
French bulldogs, European royals, sunflowers and hydrangeas, Paris, Harry Potter, the Lorax, my Kodak DSLR, the smell of new cars, "The Princess Bride," office supplies, Audrey Hepburn, chocolate and vanilla twist ice cream with rainbow jimmies, black and white photography, Anthropologie, gruyere cheese, Papyrus birthday cards, headbands, Ann Taylor Loft, "Glee," cardigans, and my Mac.

the not-so-fond ofs
Willie Nelson's singing voice, driving, DC's metro, updating my Facebook, poor grammar, when the Internet is slow, subtitles, and bad food.
