I've had a serious crush on the Nine West Elettra shoes for about a year now. I promised myself I would not do as much summer shopping as I did last year, if possible none at all so I can move into an apartment close to school by third year. They're always on CityLine's Fashion Friday just to tease me. A certain friend I go shopping with is egging me on to get a pair, so it's going to be very hard to resist!

bye-bye school

I had a wonderful first year, and now it's all over. I've learned so much, and already looking forward to fall.

just a collection of things I found really beautiful this week, with a common theme of peacefulness.

Pretty rooms designed by Camille Soulayrol for Marie Claire Idées. I love the appearance of animals she has in many of her photos, cute personality. The last room would have been my dream place to play in as a little girl.

topshop top

Bored and at the end of a busy week, almost. Lazily browsing through topshop I found these two things that caught my eye. I tend to forget about topshop because I don't have access to one, but it is fun to look. I remembered today while listening to a song by The Streets when a line says "That blue top shop shop you've got on IS nice" and I found lot's of great new stuff.






I wish I could get a copy of The Sartorialist for Paris Vogue. I haven't been reading his blog for very long, but I love the concept. I was excited to see Wes Anderson's picture last month, his style is great.
