de trop

bag by clare vivier

ok, i know i've been all about the mass/conspicuous consumption lately, but i am totally in love with this clare vivier la tropézienne bag. GORGEOUS. i want, i need. christmas in april, anyone?

also, the designer's blog is seriously awesome, too. i'm dying for her stuart weitzman (shh) clog/sandals. totally getting a pair the moment i'm back home.

update: this bad boy is MINE.

cannot wait to receive my subscription to "apartamento" in the mails. so excited to see pictures of chloe sevigny's apartment. until then, back to my last paper as a master's student (or almost last, with the very big exception of my thesis).

springing

happy easter. ingredients for a lovely spring morning: almond and chocolate croissant (check), sun streaming through the open windows (check), marie antoinette soundtrack on repeat (check), strawberries and white wine in the fridge (check check), and persuasion, which is quite possibly jane austen's most beautiful novel (check).

photo of a spring long past--peonies, chablis, ladurée macarons, and diptyque perfume in my old parisian apartment.

abricot

st ambroise apricot ale is one of the best things about montreal (though it doesn't even begin to compare to abita strawberry ale). the first days of spring call for cold beer, good food (caprese sandwiches, shrimp tikka masala), and a serious avoidance of anything school-related.
