miranda kerr, wear


MTWTFSS Weekday- Peak Blouse Blue, this blouse comes in over 20 styles, with slight variations in fabric and detail. Did you know the same people that founded Weekday created Cheap Monday? 
Lucky "Laureen" Boots- These leather, stacked heel boots are everything I was looking for. The double buckle and suede appearance offer a vintage vibe so I'm not afraid to break them in

Coach Station Bag- The classic coach bags were introduced in the 70's, (the station, the court, the willis) and Coach has recently reissued five iconic styles. I suggest you scour E-bay for an authentic vintage coach- My sister's and I have the court bag in different colors and will attest to their overuse! You'll pay a fraction of the cost and it already comes with character

The Row, Cat Eye Acetate Sunglasses- One of the most popular lens shapes from the past season and still relevant. If you're just looking to test them out, you can find cheap, comparable styles at TopShop, American Apparel and Urban

The late post directly parallels my delayed self reflection on 2011 and my ambitions for 2012. 
I bought a moleskin, daily diary pocket calendar at a borders close out sale this past summer with failure to notice that the notebooks start date was January 1, 2012... so I've waited 5 long months to make any notes on the blank pages. So much pressure now! The goal is to maintain a daily record of 2012. I suppose we would all be fine with never remembering where we were, what we did, what we learned a year ago today but I want to. My notebooks are scrawled in with to-do lists and checkmarks but rarely do I find a record of my 'have dones.' TRY it. Highlight the moments in your day- highs and lows. Record the temperature. What you wore. What you ate. Who you laughed with. Who you missed. What you prayed for. What you bought. How you react. Make memos of who you are.
