style: looks of the day

 

 

from lucky magazine and some other blog...
the leopard shoes are AMAZING. I love weird, funky, original things. Although, it's difficult to blog about trivialities like fashion when things like the oil spill are going on all over the place. But I guess you need a little triviality in your life so as not to take oneself too seriously, don't you think?

Swimwear....summer is near!

 

 

People with great style...

I love her shoes and socks together. Seem to go perfectly with her Parisian breakfast. Isn't the first man's mustache awesome? and I believe men get more handsome with age: case in point, the man in white.

I can't buy it so I blog about it....

 

 

 

 

In my attempt to save my money for once, I will blog about some of the things I may have bought otherwise....Love anthropologie.

Style: Pearls

 

I am usually good at reminding myself that things don't make you happy. I have been at my happiest when I was completely broke, unable to even scrounge up a few euros to buy an espresso in Spain when I was studying there. However, this ring is just so beautiful and perfect. Pearls in general are timeless and classic. I love the scene in Julie and Julia (the true story about a woman who cooks everyone of Julia Child's recipes in her French cookbook) where Julie's adorable husband gives her a string of pearls for her birthday because that was what Julia Child always wore. I have a long string of pearls that was my mom's that I love because each one is a different shape and shade of pink. A pearl on a ring seems so quintessentially elegant.
