These Hazards Of Love Never More Will Trouble Us


Since the entire blogosphere is doing it... FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER KIDS!


In my mind this was very beguiling-French-girl-meets-Annie-Hall-androgyny. I wore it to the Our Town audition and felt more like a stewardess than anything else.

The bag used to belong to my grandma. She is a very stylish (and generous!) lady. The oxfords were my mom's.

I really love the front of this shirt. The kimono-esque closure makes it much more elegant and chic and artsy than a standard white oxford.

Last night I went to see The Decemberists in New York City. They played The Hazards of Love straight through, and it was absolutely exquisite. I think it might be my favorite album of all time.
Through the entire show I was praying they would play "Sons & Daughters" and then they closed with it! It was the most feel good moment of my life.

I have a few things on my mind and I was hoping you lovelies could help me out:
  • My skin tends to be somewhat oily in the summer, and my face ends up feeling really nasty on sweltering hot days. Can anybody recommend a good skin clearing face wash and/or moisturizer and/or acne fighter for sensitive skin?
  • I want to find the perfect pale pink and sheer white nail polishes. Any particular brands or shades I should try?
  • Please tell me some great places to go in Paris! Shops, restaurants, bakeries, museums, anywhere you think I might like. I promise to write down all your recommendations and try to visit them all!
  • In a similar vein, I know a little French music and want to know more. If you're familiar with any cheery French tunes, share them with me!
One more school day and three final exams (four if you count gym), and then I am free.

Mes rêves épanouis


My latest inspiration: Teen Vogue editorials. Particularly the ones with both guys and ladies in them. They have a very natural, tender air about them, and the light is just gorgeous in all of these.










My post title is from the song "Complainte de la Butte" by Rufus Wainwright, and it means something like my thriving dreams. Not only does it suit my mood perfectly these days, but it calms me down when I get into a frenzy about going to Paris four weeks from tomorrow!

I can't believe it's June already. Like... whoah. The anticipation of The Greatest Summer of My Adolescent Life has got me in a tizzy!
