Aldo shoes: A pair of suede lace-up wedges I've been lusting after FOREVER. They are brilliant in person. It's true love. Secondly, my first real pair of gladiators. I do have a pair of knee high gladiators, but they aren't exactly the most versatile shoes I own. These, on the other hand are perfect. Lace-up (Again. See a pattern?) and studs.
Urban Outfitters Dresses: Okay, so my local UO's 'Yard Sale' promo sale kind of got the best of me. I am admittedly weak. Sigh. I fell pretty hard for the first piece. Something about the dichotomy of peach ruffles and a chunky front zipper. The other dress is the floral slip dress that dreams are made of. Superbly lightweight with just the right amount of shape. Fit and flare dresses with pockets are totally necessary in my life.
Music: I have been listening to the Next to Normal original Broadway cast recording constantly. For those of you who dig musicals, I recommend. And even if you're not, I still say it's worth a listen. The music and lyrics are fantastic. It's now at the top of my list of shows I want to see next time I'm in NYC (next month--whee!).
Book: I picked up Nabokov's Poems and Problems today and I can't wait to get into it. It consists of 39 Russian poems, 14 English poems, and 18 Chess problems. For those of you unfamiliar with Nabokov, please, go read Lolita. Immediately if not sooner.
Film: I re-watched Reality Bites this week, and have a new found love for it. Anyone (like me) who has ever been in college and wondered, 'what the fuck am I going to do with my life after this?' can easily relate. Plus, there's that young-artists-in-love element going on between Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke. Also, Janeane Garofolo's clothes and bedroom in the film are pretty insane. Lots of 60's dresses and fun tights, and her room actually had a poster of Gorbachev. Where can I get one of those? I want one with his birth mark showing, please.
Now that it's summer, I have so much glorious free time. I often forget I have a job at all considering it's just singing and acting. So, what are you wearing, listening to, reading, and watching this summer?
your floral slip is divine.
ReplyDeletewearing: my new favorite slouchy tees from target and an old tee that I cut up into the perfect hanging-off-me tank. and I also got my first pair of proper gladiators recently! they're my favorite thing on the planet.
