Hello love

Colette is having an online sale for everyone who doesn't live in Paris! If I weren't about to be indefinitely unemployed I'd take these. I've come to the conclusion that new/niiiiiice shoes are good for one's health. You know how when you get new shoes you want to take them out. I don't have any quantitative evidence to back up this claim but I'm 99% sure that when I get new shoes I walk waaaaaay more than usual. First of all I wear them around the house to break them in for at least 3 hours and then I take out. I show them all of my favorite spots, I take them to meet my friends, to the park, etc. Man I love things that are good for my health.  Now all I need is a job and then I can start in investing in Lanvin ballerines my health!

Eau yeah!

I am too excited! I just read that starting July 1st Starbucks will be free and unrestricted Wi-Fi in its stores AND free access to paid content sites (!!!!) which means in bypassing the NYT's upcoming paywall restrictions. The catch: this amazingness will be offered in U.S. stores and conveniently I'm moving back the U.S. this fall! Don't worry Giselle & Bella I'll email you all of the good articles :)

Les femmes c'est du chinois

Le comprenez-vous? Moi pas. I also don't understand where to get a white jumpsuit on this island!

I admit that while in Spain, I was on the fence when it came to low crotch pants BUT this jumpsuit leaves me with nooooo doubt in my mind. I want it. Give it up!

Peace out!

The manicure and I are off (for a day and a half) to Sapporo!!!!! I know it isn't much time but any escape is worth writing about. Also, I've embraced embellishing my nails for the time being for the following reason. I know I live in a fashion void but when I look down at these plastic bubbly stickers that allude to pearls, I smile because they recall me of a more stylish place and time. 

Sapporo Sapporooooooo you're only a day awaaaaaaay!

Below are my favorite pages from July's Vogue.

yeah yeah I know, the day I get a scanner my life will be sooo much easier. Noted.

the reading list begins...

Now that I've answered the bikini question it's time to move on summer reading. I've been reading tokyobanhbao for a while and now here first book manga is out. It's called Sérial shoppeuse: le presque guide. I'm so enticed. It's en français, in Paris and about shopping. I may have finally found the manga for me.
