That New Book Smell

I work in a beautiful bookshop, so I might be biased (my mother is a librarian and my aunt is an author. I AM biased!) but I believe that nothing can ever replace the feel, the smell, the joy, of a new book. The Internet might be 'taking over', the Kindle is trying to kill, but I think that the book will never truly die. It's too magical.

Olsen Obsession

I could write and write and write about how awesome I think the Olsen twins are, especially Ashley, but I won't bore you. If you want to see more of their inspiring fashion choices click the title link. If you don't, then just appreciate this stunning photo (pre- Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' can-curlers, I'd like to point out.)

Poolside Delights

Or rather, the whole entire pool is a delight. It's so insanely retro and extravagant it could only be found in Miami, Fl. Now I feel a ridiculous urge to go to Miami, despite the fact I'm pretty sure I'd hate it, just so I could go swimming in this pool.

Wang+Lee+xx=PERFECTION

This video is genius. An amazing desginer, a model who's finally getting the campaigns she deserves, and a band already destined for uncomfortable levels of fame...

You should know all of these people, BUT if you've been hiding under a rock lately, I'll help you out:

WANT + NEED Pt. 2

These shoe boots are like a Rick Owens (if you don't know who he is, GOOGLE) jacket made into my dream shoes; chunky but not clunky, strappy and high but not hooker-y, fur-lined but not UGG-y, they are my winter dream. How do you get into my head so, Topshop?!
