blazer. club monaco. jeans. zara. boots. JS. bag. club monaco. scarf. h & m

grey day. I can wear grey any and everyday of the week, but it feels appropriate on a day like today. Scattered showers. dark clouds. wind that would seriously blow anyone over. Grey just fits. It makes me feel good and brightens me right up, as it is my favourite color.


Sipped tea. read. cleaned. took the dog for a walk. sipped more tea. watched closing ceremonies... I loved watching the unity that the Olympics brought to our world and am sad it's over. I found it heart warming and humbling to see nations join hands and bond over such athletic greatness. It shows that their is not much that separates us but oceans and land...

  2. gray is most certainly an appropriate color for the weather you're experiencing! i usually punch gray up with a brightly colored scarf, or else i then begin feeling rather blah with all the coldness! great blazer, btw, love how you rolled it up.

  6. You look fantastic. I quite agree about the Olympics. I also liked how historic it was, a shared tradition that goes so far back. It's really amazing...

  17. Seriously, you dress (and look) like a model. Especially when they are caught candid after a fashion show!!! ♥

    Thanks for the comment, I remember buying my first Minn. boots and not wearing them (I as too shy) then I got addicted again, about 2 years later and now I wear all of them, and went a little crazy (and bought more!)
