Naomi's Soliloquy

"Who doesn't love Shakespeare's sonnets?"

"Well..."

"Actually, I can think of a few reasons why not to like them..."

"Like, c'mon. 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"

"Pshaw."

Here is a nice glittery crystal ball ornament as a nice, random interlude. Too bad I don't know how to make it all bokeh-y. 

"Also, Shakespeare's sonnets are pretty good. It's Romeo and Juliet that I can't stand."

But that's a tale for another time. Here's a Bloomingdale Christmas ornament to soothe your agitated mind...

High(&)Waisted*

Modern Romance Boutique-J Brand High Rise Bianca in Monaco | Vintage Platform Sandals | Nordstrom-Necessary Objects Blazer | Nordstrom Chloe K Striped Bustier

A couple of my favorite books: Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas ♥

Legz fo' dayzzz. 

Here you may enjoy a picture of our fireplace mantel. 

Pottery Barn mirror, candles, and candleholder. I'll give you one guess where the bulk of our furniture and decor is from! ;)

Weird hurr don't curr.

All dressed up and nowhere to go!

 I love these jeans (first pair of J Brands), but they're a bit too long to wear on an everyday basis, since they require some sort of platform or wedge shoe. I do like how high-waisted they are, though.

*Also, the title is for purely punny purposes; we do not in any way condone or endorse drug usage. 

Christmas! ♥

I found these as I was searching through the blog folder the other day. The Christmas tree kind of dates this, so I'll confess: this was the outfit I wore on Christmas at the family celebration. We went to our Grandma's house and ate, talked, hung out, and had a genuinely merry time with all the cousins. Super late posting, I know, but enjoy anyway ;)

Nordstrom-Jou Jou Faux Leather Jacket in Black | Mom's Cashmere Cardi (I forget the brand) | Vince Camuto Contrast Trim Buttondown | Watch-Swatch | Free People Velvet Polka Dot Skinnies in Black | Over the Knee Socks from Karmaloop

My lovely Free People Velvet Skinnies have since ripped (one leg, horizontally--like shorts) which makes me very put out. >:( I'll have to lug out the sewing machine when I have time. Which, considering all the homework I still have (second semester seniors with no work? That's a myth at my school) will be never. Also, I need black thread. Things to do. Sigh. 

Chinese New Year Shoot

Bloomingdale's Top-Aqua | Madewell Skinny Skinny Ankle Cords-Fireplace Red | Toms

Last weekend, we hung out with our cousins for a belated Chinese New Year's celebration. Here's a sneak peek of the shoot to come :)

F is for Ferragamo

Ferragamo flats and Free People Polka Dot Velvet Skinnies!

My grandpa gave me a pair of never-worn vintage Ferragamos that used to belong to my great aunt. They've been coming in handy for college interviews at least. And these velvet skinnies have been super warm and comfortable for winter. Gonna try to upload some more posts this weekend!
