For Valentine's Day

Sorry. I couldn't resist :)

Let's take a poll because I'm indecisive

I should totally be studying right now. But, as usual, I'm finding more fun ways to occupy my time.....like bathing suit shopping for spring break, for example. It's been three years since I bought my last suit (from Walmart), so I think I can justify splurging on something nice.

(This is the part where you enthusiastically nod your head and say: "Yes, Kate, you're totally right. You buy that Victoria's Secret bathing suit!"...and then I will respond by saying: "Okay, good friend, I will!")

Okay, so now that we've cleared that up, I need your help. Should I buy....

...bathing suit A:

Pros: 

• Adorable beading 
• Triangle tops are supposedly the best for unfortunate women like me who are stuck in Tanner Stage 3 (for my non-medical friends....that essentially means small-chested)
• It's orange. I fell in love with the cutest orange bathing suit 6 years ago that I still think about. (Why, oh why did it have to cost $130?!)

Cons:

• I won't look nearly as sexy as Alessandra Ambrosio while wearing it
• Triangle tan lines

.....or bathing suit B:

Pros:

• According to the bathing suit specialists supplied by my google search, bandeau tops are supposedly the best for "boy-type" bodies. Pretty sure I fall in that category...
• That color is AMAZING
• It has a removable strap....aka fewer tan lines
• Cheaper than bathing suit A

Cons:

• A little plain

And the polls are open! Send in your votes!

Skinny love

Surprisingly, I was first introduced to Bon Iver when I was in Uganda. Not surprisingly, the introducers were hipster boys from California. I specifically remember that "Skinny Love" was the first song I heard. And even though the only distinguishable lyrics to me at that point were "come on, skinny love something something here...," I found that I couldn't get it out of my head! And now, three and a half years later, I still can't get it out of my head! I just love it!

I cannot, however, say the same for the best roommate in the world, Amy Luke, who expressed her annoyance at hearing it every time I got a text message. But in my defense, I would like to argue that anyone who has "Save Tonight" as their ringer for 4 years has no room to complain....just sayin' ;)

So anyway, I would like to dedicate this to my dearest Amy. It's been far too long since you've unwillingly listened to this song....

(ps. I love you!)

Oh, and while I'm on the topic of Bon Iver....I'm obsessed with his cover of "I can't make you love me." Check it out:
