Daily Review

This week moves slowly, and me, I have no other choice but to follow it slowly (with the camera in hands, naturally...)

So, I wake up and slurp the coffee.

Then I pretend to work and, since it's almost the end of the school year, I must pretend less since I'm the local  911 for bad marks.

Then I despair for the desperate weather.

And in the end of the day I thank to whatever force is responsible for my tiny hands because I can buy cute rings in children sizes.

Mickey and Times Square

Not that much time this week for treasure hunting on the world wide web but I still managed to find a few thing worth checking out.

* Like the cute new Mickey Mouse created by the makers of Dexter and DeeDee and Sponge Bob with whom you must be familiar if you are 20 or 30 something and you regularly watch cartoon channels on TV.

Mickey Mouse - Croissant de Triomphe by Flixgr

* And a blog written by a lady that does it all from the Vogue to the flea market. For example taking Liu Wen to the world biggest flea market, then dressing her up in vintage and taking some great pictures. Or taking outfit pictures on Times Square with Elmo, even though as a New Yorker you are bound to hate Times Square. And the rest see for yourself, there's a lot of material, for looking and reading.

Shoes Excuse

This is my walking gear for this month and this picture got me thinking how all of these shoes were bought under some kind of excuse. You know, after I decided no more impulsive purchases, no sales, only following THE list, what I need and if it's good quality and comfortable, if I need it, and only if I carefully thought about it first and have enough money. Completely reasonable, right? Of course. But sometimes it's just... how can I be reasonable when it comes to shoes (::eye twitching, arm shaking::).

For example, this first pair, the blue ones, I bought them right in the middle of the winter when there was no chance of wearing them for at least three more months. But why, you ask? Well, see this picture, it'd been in my computer for a couple of years before finding them filed under perfection, see what I mean, get it? How could I pass? I started wearing them as soon I saw the first swallow unpacking her things in spring and didn't stop until it flew away again. And these shoes are delicate, I have to vacuum the dust off them and avoid any kind of uncharted terrain. 2 years I had them are visible on their face but still, just look at them!

The second pair I've had for just 2 weeks. I had these ballet flats that left this world last year. After several beautiful years we had together, after last summer vacation there was simply no saving them. And how can a woman exist without ballet flats, I ask you? I couldn't gather the strength to look for the replacement, the wound was still fresh... And one they browsing the man section at Office Shoes, not for myself obviously, I decided to cross the border to lady's section as I saw these little things. They were on sale, to be honest, but I figured they could be good friends for the next few years. They feel like wearing socks except that they have this elastic band in the back that's a bit too strong so after a while it feels like my foot is about to fold in half, but I suppose it will loosen up eventually... hopefully... well, one of us will crack anyway...    

As for the third pair, I already told you about them around the time they were bought so I'll just qoute, it happened like this:
''Friday was not nice to me although I did get this pretty bracelet, a gift from a very special little girl. It continued with an impulsive purchase of the shoes although I really needed them (when I say really I mean really really, not justifying really). However it was hard to say that to bf as he knew how Friday was not nice at all to me, imagine how that sounded- Hi, I had a **** day and I bought shoes, HA. Does anyone else do that?'' Enough said.

Well, the fourth ones were actually planned and the situation got out of control just a little bit... I was on my way to buy the sandals, blue sandals, with a big flower. I saw them before, actually needed them, prepared the money and while in the store trying them on, I suddenly saw this silver pair, just for a moment my I caught a glimpse of the silver on the shelf. And then I remembered my sister probably needed a pair of sandals, too. Yes, you got it, I bought both pairs, kept the silver ones and the sister got the blue ones... she did, really.

So, does this happen to anyone else? Do you even do excuses? What's the best excuse for impulsively buying shoes? Wait, no, no, please, don't tell me...

On The Other Side Of The World And Everywhere Else

* Speaking of Istanbul and travel this is actually my preferred destination:

* So dreaming and looking at a few city guides, just to be prepared...

* And you know how Paris gets boring after about thousand pictures of the Eiffel Tower and two thousand pictures of Louvre even though you might have never even visited it? I never did and I start rolling my eyes seeing the poor unsuspecting Eiffel Tower and think I don't even want to see you any more. Well, Petra went there a few times and she's got another angle to show us and make us want wish for Paris again. And also find some great posts on her blog both with great words and wordless.

  It's Sunday, why are you still reading this, go out
