tumbling

having too much fun on tumblr lately. loving the format over there.

the (not so long) weekend in pictures

the weekend began with a german soccer victory and a trip to the pool...

a bit of conflicted franco-american patriotism through sartorial choices...

grilled pork, corn with cilantro and peppers, and basil zucchini salad...

followed by strawberry-rhubarb fools...

and an early anniversary gift from the cutest dude i know.

all in all, an awesome summer weekend.

the year of living glamorously

making an effort to inject a bit more glamour into my everyday life. it began simply enough: more breakfasts in sweet cafés (like café neve, which has the best coffee in montreal) with good reads (then it was "the gentlewoman," with its profile of my favorite lady, phoebe philo; now its "the longest journey," as i've been on an e. m. forster kick lately). i predict living glamorously will also include more soirées, more dressing up (not hard), and more fun.

currently wearing

j crew cardigan, dvf lace blouse, geren ford skirt, urban outfitters tights, vanessa bruno boots. once again, apologies for the photobooth pic.
