two three new things that make these march days brighter



For me it seems so far that "taking it easy" translates roughly as "spending to much time searching ebay". Whether this is a good thing or bad thing is up for debate. My wallet seems to think the latter. I had tried for quite sometime to avoid even looking anything by Isabel Marant...I remembering being in the shop in Paris three years ago (my first time being introduced to her work) and just sighing knowing as a recent college grad there was no way in heck I was going to be able to buy anything. And that's where ebay comes in. I think this sweater is from her collection last spring and oh my, I scored big time. This cotton is so soft (didn't even know what mako cotton was, had to look it up) and I like that I can wear it both frontwards and backwards. I had no idea what size I would be so I got the 0 and it fits good- though I probably would have preferred a 1 for the length.

Red pants from the gap. About 3 sizes too big but hey, I'll take what I can get and wear them "a la boyfriend". But there's something kind of exciting about wearing a size 10 when you are a 4 or 6, it makes you feel much smaller than you are - until your pants fall off - haha.

And do you see that calender print in the corner? My Sunken Treasure poster came! I ran out this past weekend to get a frame for it at Ikea - I will need to cut my own mat for it later (not the right size) but it will do for now. I love the bright neon yellow - makes me so happy on these cloudy days. Thanks a million Sophie, you rock!
