modern baroque.

I went to a party hosted by Rimmel earlier this week, held in this fantastic loft/gallery space. These quilted cubes made for some super styling patio furniture, and I'd be pretty okay with having a few of them scattered around my house. Too bad they were a little big to fit in my purse, and I wasn't able to sneak out the door with one under my shirt.


The chairs were quite killer too. As much as I usually like pieces with contrasting borders, I'd take the white over the pink; monochrome seems to work better for such a large scale object. Or, in my ideal fantasy world, I'd scrap the patent altogether and reupholster it in a pale dove gray twill.

Just got a new watch from Urban Outfitters. They wanted it to be a belt, and told me to do this with it:


I prefer to wear my wristwatches on my wrists, thank you very much, and will instead do this with it:

You've gotta move.

Can't get this song out of my head.

Checking off the list...

Recently acquired:
  • Pretty day dresses — from H&M and Anthropologie
  • Breezy beige linen pants — from Anthropologie
  • Gap shorts (I gave up on decision making and got both colours)
  • Roots bag finally arrived.
  • MAC lipstick in Violetta — turns little more fuschia-y on me than I would like though, so now I need a violet lipliner and/or gloss to try to enhance the colour a bit.
Also got awesome new Nike goggles that are red with a metallic gold coating. Hoping these will motivate me to get myself in the pool.

I might post some pics of my new things at some point, once I stop being really, really busy.


Still need:
  • Gray "boyfriend" blazer.
  • Super-light washed/bleached or white skinny jeans.
  • Perfect leather jacket.
  • Keds Champions.
  • White chunky/strappy heeled sandals.
  • Lavender patent pumps.
  • New duvet & curtains.
