DANCING AT DISCOS, EATING CHEESE ON TOAST

{Merry Happy - Kate Nash}

DV Jamison booties, j'aime Paris necklace, green purse via Taiwan

Life is in full transitional mode; from summer to fall, a-line cut to collarbone length, lazy butt to workaholic, it's a nice change of pace I must say. The past six weeks have been difficult, rewarding, exhausting, exhilarating, hilarious, successful, and above all, different. Different in ways I never thought life, and I, could ever be. I'm surprising myself all over the place and I like it, love it, want to spend the whole day tangled around in it. I love surprises! I am beyond the moon about it all and I can't wait to share every detail with you lovelies. Keep those fingers crossed for me for just a little longer!

This is my hello to fall! With October 1st marking it's territory, I feel like a formal declaration of love is in order, if not absolutely necessary. I cannot wait to snuggle underneath my comforter with Lawrence (my cute little heffalump of an elephant) and watch movies after movies while the rain and wind do their typical do-si-do outside my window. I am beyond excited to wrap my neck up with feet upon feet of never-ending fabric courtesy of my huge AA circle scarf that smothers me in just the right way. I look forward to splashing around in puddles as I turn my dreadful mundane walk to class into one of adventure and ridiculousness? Can you tell that I love fall above all? Gosh, I am a poet and I DO know it.

Firstly, I apologize for my rudy red cheeks. The Indian summer we were experiencing in the Bay was amplified in Berkeley, I swear! So hot was the heat that I seriously contemplated running around in my birthday suit, at least then I wouldn't have clothes sweat-glued to my back although I would get a few more awkward stares than I normally do. My DV Jamison booties are now my right hand gal who I entrust everything with, they are just lovely. It was one of those days that I just threw in a little bit of this and a little bit of that then BAM! out the door. It seems to be an emerging pattern that the sociolgist-in-training inside me is noticing; that whenever it's unbearably hot, I usually tend to just pick, grab, throw, leave, dgaf. The sun gets me all worked up in a downright weird funk, weird huh? My life is basically opposite day, everyday.

Happy fall! I love the DV boots. I think sometimes the best looks come about by just throwing things on with little planning. Was curious, how comfy are the boots, and do they run true to size? I've been thinking about buying them for a few weeks...thanks for your help!

Unknown said...

Wow- the color of your purse is so gorgeous! I'm sad it's from Taiwan because that means there's no way I can get my hands on it! I'm excited about fall too and I'm looking forward to more tea on chilly nights, knitting, apple cider, tights, and various other fall-y things! :D
