Crush of the Day: Niotillfem Blog

If I could trade lives with someone for a day (or two), I'd ask Sandra Beijer for a swap.

She strikes me as cosmopolitan,

as someone who attends fashion shows,

and enjoys picnics with her friends.

She eats great food,

including sausages,

and leaves plenty of room for dessert.

She takes breathtaking pictures,

with an obvious love for nature.

But most importantly, she has beautiful shoes.

Unboxing: Bust Box

Unboxing:  Bust Box

I received my box of Bust magazines from Megan over at Ghost Academy. And to my surprise, she included one of her skull block print greeting cards and a Super Cool Dork Award, both of which I've been coveting since March. This totally made my day -- thank you for your generous gifts, Megan! :)

Quotable: Samuel Beckett

I borrowed Voice Over by Céline Curiol from the library. This quote from Samuel Beckett's Molloy, needless to say, resonates with me.

Wardrobe Remix: 7/1/09

It is another warm day on the Peninsula. At 72 degrees, it's the perfect weather for skirts and today, I decided to wear this tulip skirt, thrifted from Crossroads a few months ago. But, since the weather can be pretty unpredictable in the City, I should probably stuff some tights and a sweater in my bag in case the fog makes an appearance later today. Alrighty, off to work I go.

Wardrobe Remix

Oh, and one more thing. I just wanted to express how much fun I'm having getting ready in the mornings these days, experimenting with new looks and wearing clothes that would have gathered dust in my closet for months, or rather -- years on end. Thank you, Wardrobe Remix. :)

What I wore:

  • top - Studio M by Studio Max
  • tulip skirt - H&M, thrifted from Crossroads Trading
  • shoes - Vina by Born
  • pink bow - A Alicia Accessories
  • lipstick- Berry Sinner by Lipstick Queen



People-Watching: Starbucks

People Watching from Starbucks

In a rush, Starbucks works for a quick and delicious lunch. Grubbed on these delights while people-watching at Starbucks on Kearny and Bush the other day.

Darling Details: Eclectic Eccentricity

I adore these kooky necklaces from Eclectic Eccentricity, especially the bike. Ugh, too cute.

They also sell a sewing machine pendant (with miniature golden scissors!), very similar to the one worn by Carrie at Wish Wish Wish:
