stuff.
Turn up your volume! I’m quiet.
And go take a look at Marc B’s bags at Topshop. He’s always got some amazing stuff out.
finally.
I have been wanting to buy some mac shadows for quite some time and today i finally did it. Carbon, brun and dazzlelight. They are very basic shades, but I’ve just never gotten around to buying them. And since I’m actually quite cheap, I didn’t buy the mac 224, I went to target and bought the knock off for $1.99.
My quad palette needs one more friend. Any suggestions?
Also, I’ve never been really into Chanel no 5, but today I was smelling it and I’m completely in love. I feel like I’ve got to have it now. So now I’m debating on whether to by Chanel no 5 or stick with the only perfume that I’ve completely used up, Acqua di Parma. Hmmmm… Sadly my birthday and christmas are many months away…
mansfield park.
i’m currently starting a list of 25 books that i want to read. i’m starting with mansfield park. this list is part of my Day Zero Project that i’m still working on. i hope to complete my list soon, but it’s actually quite difficult to think of 101 meaningful things.
lilac.
this is cashmere cardigan by orly. it’s pretty amazing. it looks a bit blue in the photos, but it’s a very pretty lilac.
i think i’m going to start doing face of the day and maybe outfit of the day. i get to dress up however i want for work, and i always get people asking where i get my clothes and how i do my makeup, so i thought maybe i should put that on here.
oh yeah, and i got into grad school today! yay! now i just have to sell my body hundreds of times to be able to pay for it…
used.
near my house, there is a magical place that has thousands upon thousands of books, dvd’s, and cd’s. i took some of my old bits in and got these with my new found store credit.
in the city of paris…
both of these things have to do with writing and France so I’m putting them in the same post.
The first thing is one of these best books ever. Madame Pamplemousse and Her Incredible Edibles by Rupert Kingfisher. It only takes about half and hour to read. I don’t think this is available in the states, but it was at Waterstones in the 3 for 2 section. Here is the puppy reading it…
“In the city of Paris, on the banks of the river, tucked away down a winding alley, there is a shop…”
The other bit is that my mother kept he letters that my grandfather sent home during WW2. I picked up one the other day because I didn’t know what they were and I was astounded at what I read…
It reads “I received a letter from you yesterday dated June 28th which said you had not heard from me since D Day. I was very sorry to hear this and know you’re worried. I wrote fairly often during that period and do hope the situation will have been remedied soon…”
I just can’t imagine what that must have been like for them. Everything about the letter is absolutely beautiful. I wish people wrote real letters more often and I wish everyone had really pretty handwriting.
I’m also going to add a photo of the princess of the bathroom…
And I’ll leave you with a quote from The Unicorn Diaries…
Really really,
I’d like someone to sing me to sleep,
or someone I could tell things to,
or just someone.
baby diddy daddy.
Yay! My baby is gonna be sooooooo ugly…
