OH MY GOD!

I just yelled and I think I woke up my landlord. The Kills are playing in Brooklyn on October 3rd and 4th!!!! I just might buy tickets this minute..if they're available. OH MY GOD, I CAN'T WAIT.

What I Did With My Day Off

Drank coffee, tore up magazines, read Pattie Boyd's memoir, went to the gym, and lost a portion of my life to Polyvore. I'm ready for fall outfits now.

My new favorite scent

After reading about a crazy-sounding scent Lulu [of Chictopia, but does she even need introduction?] picked up back in May, I was intrigued. I looked into CB I Hate Perfume, and fell in love with the description of a scent called "In the Library":
English Novel taken from a Signed First Edition of one of my very favorite novels, Russian and Moroccan leather bindings, worn cloth and a hint of wood polish.

Christopher Brossius fails to mention the somehow-intoxicating hint of dust that the perfume imparts. It came in a tiny, science project-looking vial sealed in a little foil packet. At first, it smelled like eau de old man. I thought I was back at work. But after it mellowed on my skin for a few minutes, I was in the library. I'm in love.

Next up: Lavender Tea and Violet Empire.

Gasp.

This has to be THE coolest bracelet I have ever seen in my entire life.

Oh Kate. How I love thee. Doesn't she look very Brigitte Bardot? I don't even care about the bags (they're actually a bit boring..).

Another shoe post!

These are the shoes that haunt me. During the day, in the middle of trying to conduct eye exams...at night, while I'm trying to sleep. I tried on the Michael Kors heels a few weeks ago, and stupidly walked away from them. The Minnetonkas have been on my mind since I saw Kate Moss wearing them at the Kills show in May.
