manicure monday.

I have been giving myself manicures more often lately, so I thought, why not give them a weekly feature on my blog? This was last week's - which isn't too bad for my first nail art attempt, right? If you can't tell, it's Totoro, but I hope you figured that out.

It's been a while! Every time I sit down to blog, my mind becomes blank. So sorry for the lack of posts lately. I keep wishing the nice weather would come (and stay) to the East Coast already but no such luck yet. In the meantime I've been doing plenty of spring shopping but I'm too lazy to take photos of everything. BUT bear with me because there'll be better posts soon!!!

This Saturday is the grand opening of Rinka's boutique, Maison de Reefur, in Tokyo! She's been posting photos of items that are going to available on her blog and I want them all~

last week's shopping.

Just a day after posting about that ombre Topshop jumper, I found something similar for much less at Zara! 

There was a 40% off sale at Gilly Hicks so I picked up some denim shorts, pj shorts, and leggings.

Lauren Conrad's newest book The Fame Game just came out so I picked that up. She's on the cover of Glamour this month too and I really love her look!

I've been changing my nail polish a lot - boredom, I guess? I thought I'd invest in some more manicure tools.

The ombre trend has been around for a while now, but I still can't seem to get enough of it! Here are two pieces I'd like to add to my closet - or even possibly try a DIY?

inspired by a postcard.

I've been eyeing these two things lately and I just realized what they have in common! I've always wanted to send one of these postcards from a faraway destination - perhaps this summer when I'm on vacation? But for now, Greetings from Boston!

clothes a strewn.

I got so excited about the warm weather but then it only turned out to be temporary! So now I'm back to hiding indoors and being unmotivated to blog. 

So here's just a random post. The photos above from backstage shooting of The Coveteur is what my room looks like - except with less glamorous items!
