l'optimisme de Pangloss

After brunch with the girls this morning (I ate like a lumberjack, still feel so full!) I went out and bought this month's Vanity Fair and Vogue and may I say that Zoe Kravitz looks STUNNING in this dress? Jasper Conran, please send this to me? Also, Jane Aldridge looks über cute in the Bright Young Things's feature. Anyhow, off to make cinnamon rolls with my friend Alex, bonsoir!

Une maison aux abords

I'm adoring the yellow dress she is wearing. I got some new boots and a cute African tribe print tank today while I was originally out to just buy a few books. What's a girl to do when she sees pretty things? Buy them, of course!

los abrazos rotos

Broken embraces is a wonderful movie, I saw it about a month ago and recommend it to anyone who appreciates beauty. I really should be doing homework right now instead of ranting about Pedro Almodovar's genius, but eh, Latin verbs can be memorized later.

better times are coming

So sad that the world has to say goodbye to one of it's greatest voices. Kate McGarrigle was an amazing artist and I can't say just how much I loved her and her sister's music...

I'm still waiting for an envelope from Hogwarts inviting me to wave my wand...

je t'aime tant

Rothenburg is responsible for my love affair with Germany.

it ain't always pretty but it's real

Sipping espresso, recovering. Oh to be young and to live at night (not).

special delivery

Girl night! Nancy Drew video game, Grease dance/sing alongs, chocolate cake and some good old rum to satisfy our pirate side. Happy weekend to all.

le bon roi dagobert

I hate hand sowing with leather, takes up far too much of my precious time (which would be used to dance around like a prat in my bedroom instead).
