feeling blue.




coat. hm. dress. vintage. shoes. marni.


you know it's cold in cape town when their is snow on table mountain.
south africans call it the blanket & say it's sleeping......
cute + cheesy at the same time. i guess you have to see how extremely flat it is to picture its covering.

today is by far the coldest day of the year, and i decided to pull out my oh-so-frilly-slip.
why, i truly don't know.
it was my only purchase from beacons closet in nyc.
i double slipped it up and bundled up in my fav. army coat.
musts right now: long johns. tea. fire. soup. sleeping in socks ( which is soooo hard to do, hey? i can never sleep with socks ) 
NO central heating. 7 degree chill = icicles.

well these past few days have been an emotional roller coaster.
a pre- mid-life crisis? do such things exist.
ahhhh all i want to do is cuddle up in a ball by the fire.

  2. SA is such a beautiful place... and you look gorgeous, I'm loving the slip. Keep warm- drink lots of hot cocoa, cozy up under a blanket... hope you feel better soon, too. I know how it is, sometimes. Do something small that cheers you up :)

  3. awww i'm sure you'll be feeling back to normal in a few days. my friend has a saying that i love. she says to be extra sweet to yourself when you're feeling low and to treat yourself like a kitten. so go warm up some milk, grab a blanket and indulge in magazines!

  13. love the way this feminine dress looks with the urban type sort of laid back green jacket .

    great contrast here and not in the typical predictable way i usually see

  19. I think that pre-mid-life crises do exist...I am turning 21 in a month and I am totally freaking out about it for no apparent reason. I think that it happens to the best of us. Give it few days and just focus on yourself.


    You look stunning in that dressy dress... :)

    I bet it is not as cold as it gets in Canada :P
