In the Mood for a Quiet Place

Libraries are easily one of my favorite places in the world growing up and the architectural marvel that is the Seattle Public Library is nothing short of amazing. I have an affinity for old books so I go wherever the first editions are. So much so that I tried to pass a college course using just the first edition of the couse textbook. Needless to say, I did surprisingly well so I wouldn't discount the library when looking for cheap (and beautiful) alternatives to buying this quarter's textbook.  

When purchasing a white lace skirt, no matter who the maker is, I recommend also purchasing a slip to wear underneath. I tried on a few skirts before settling on this H&M one and they were all very sheer. White is just not a color made to hide anything.

In the Mood for the Highlights in Life

First I bought the shoes and then I found myself buying everything in that same color. Maybe I'm optimistically looking forward to a bright summer or I just need a little highlighter in my life. Whatever the reason, you won't miss me walking down Broadway in these hot shorts for sure.

In the Mood for Monotones

I've always wanted a killer pair of Litas but the problem was that everybody already had them. So I bought the Utopias instead even though they were much more expensive and honestly I've been in Utopia ever since. Not only do these shoes stand out but they make me oh-so tall and are comfortable as well. What more can you ask of platform shoes?
