Here and There

coat: Zara (last season) | Bracelets c/o Poshlocket | Sunglasses: H&M (old, similar) 

1. This Zara coat that I am wearing has been my best clothing purchase to date. It was more than I usually spend on any one item, but dang was it worth it. I have worn it hundreds of times since I bought it...basically almost every time I go outside, which is a lot since it has been cold every day since the purchase date, which I think was last fall. That fact makes me a little upset. It will probably be the only coat I dont sell or burn upon my move back to Los Angeles. 

2. I am super mad at myself that I pre-judged Perks of Being a Wallflower and didn't read the book before I watched the film. After last weeks post everyone was like "You should read the book!"  I usually always read the book before watching the film, but I have a hard time reading a book after watching the film. This was an epic fail on my part. Don't make the same mistake I did, guys.

3. This was one of the most beautiful and touching things I have read about in awhile.

4. One of the funniest Bachelor recaps I have ever read. (originally found it via MM). It is written by a male and I laughed out loud a lot.  One of my fav lines:
"'I CAN’T CONTROL MY EYEBROW. I CANNOT CONTROL MY EYEBROW. I CANNOT CONTROL MY FACE' and all of those statements are false, because it’s your face, and some would argue that faces are the most controllable." 

5. LOVED this article written by the Man Repeller on Blogging, fashion, and our generation. 

5. Recent conversations I had with S:

Me: I am so excited to have a trader joes and a proper big Whole Foods with cranberry tuna back in my life soon. Along with all of the organic fresh produce.

S: It's pronounced prawjuice. (produce)

Me: Don't even get me started on that again. You can say it that way, but no one will know what you are talking about.

S: But that is the correct way to pronounce it

Me: There is NO J in Produce so why would it have a J sound?

S: It's like in tennis, when the game is at 40-40 and one player needs to get two consecutive points to win...it's called a juice...

Me: Really? Pretty sure that is a DEUCE. Again, there is no J in the spelling of that word.

S: Well tennis originates here so pretty sure we are right in the pronunciation. 

Me: You are definitely incorrect.

S: Well what about Django? You pronounce it "Jango"

Me: BECAUSE THERE IS A J. I love you, but I can't have this conversation anymore.

Me: Do you think if I put our yogurt in the freezer it would turn into frozen yogurt?
S: I don't know, I have never had frozen yogurt
Me: GASP
