Currently



book
I'm reading a book I was sent for review. It's a little too much on the chick list side and I'm not feeling it. I hope it improves.

song
The Mess We're In- PJ Harvey with Thom York. It's a perennial favorite of the shiver-down-your-spine variety.

frequently worn outfit or item
Black knee-high stiletto boots. I have several pairs of black boots, but this one has gotten so much action lately that I need to replace the heels.

perfume
You mean, other than Onda?

food
Pasta e fagioli soup. My own version with a lot of zucchini for a greener, springy feel.

drink
Water. And a lot of it.

guilty pleasure
Pasta in every shape and form.

bane of my existence
Lack of sleep. And it's making me cranky.

anticipation
For my sister to have her baby. I'm very excited about my niece.

wishlist
Never to see, read or hear the name "Britney Spears".

Oh, and this Louboutin Clutch:


Please tell me about your current loves and wishes!

    still mainly reading glamorama.. it is insane and i can't read too much of it before bed or it makes my head spin!

    song
    The Mess We're In- PJ Harvey with Thom York. <- love that song!
    for me, susanna and the magical orchestra's cover of "love will tear us apart"... heard it on the radio today and had to sit in my parked car to hear the whole thing.

    frequently worn outfit or item

    perfume
    a really creamy/woody floral i had blended at this hippie shop in sf.. you may laugh but it smells sooo good! reminds me of summer.

    food
    i got to cook for the first time in weeks... orange snapper.

    drink
    soy shot in the dark (chai + espresso.. mmm)

    Book: just magazines at present

    Guilty pleasure: magazines

    Food: fresh mangoes

    Drink; filtered water, and protein shakes with vanilla, frozen berries and pomegranate juice

    Worn outfit: iris blue silk sweater - love it so much I got another one in rose, I wish it came in 10 more colors.

  7. My shopping obsession lately is hunting for cool vintage earrings. I had my hair cut into a bob which is totally different than any way I've ever worn my hair, and I love the way big earrings look now. I've found several pairs that are fabulous, and I love how they can class up jeans and a sweater (my outfit of choice for many winters.) I need a new book, and I'm waiting for Target's Ultimate Tees to go on sale; I buy half a dozen every spring and they carry me through the summer.

  8. Anon- I'm curious about that shiseido eye cream. I've been extremely loyal to Lancome, but soon might be time for a change.

  9. Kamo- I think I'm going to look for that song. Good luck with the finals and the interview!

  11. Helg- I need to dig out a sample of the EdM. I have a bottle of the Elixir, but can't remember how they differ.
    I can't wait for the first day of Reverie-appropriate weather.

  12. Jeanne- Another Dzing lover! that's great. My husband and I share a bottle and sometimes have to coordinate who gets to wear it.
    I'm in a Bob Dylan mood lately, too. I can't get enough of "Things Have Changed".

  13. Anita- The haircut and earrings must be lovely. I haven't worn earrings in 15 or 16 years, that was the last time my hair was short enough to let something show.
    I'm with you on t-shirts. My summer uniform is little skirts in colorful prints with a plain v-neck t-shirt.
