The outfit pictured above is an interesting concoction of sporty (with the Nike top) and a bit more refined (with the wide leg high rise paints from Anthropologie).
I topped it off with an American Apparel bow, a necklace I found on a thrifting venture, and some Urban Outfitters wedges.
Since I paired opposites in my outfit, I thought it'd be fitting to have comparisons in the following photos.

If you are a Francophile, and you like French cinéma, bossa nova film scores, and race cars (in that order), then this is the movie for you (if not- well, you're probably better off looking elsewhere).

The main character spends a lot of time behind the wheel of a couple of Mustangs, in particular:

But also a Brabham Ford F3:

I know you won't mind Alfie if tonight I write this letter to someone else.

Dear Nick,

For many people today is just a Tuesday; a cold, wet, icy Tuesday in February.  However for the many people who know you, today is much more; it's the day you came home.  When I read on Facebook today that you had landed back in England, I breathed a sigh of relief that would have filled a balloon big enough to make Richard Branson green with envy.

Why do I like horror movies?

Reblogged from ummyeahah:

What gets me so riled up? Even though I am, to put this lightly, going bat shit crazy 'cause I'm scared shitless, it's like I am addicted to this movie genre.

Our winter landscape is brown this year because of our snow drought.  And from a photographer's viewpoint (at least this photographer), brown is not the most photogenic of landscape colors, especially in winter.  But my attention was caught this morning when I looked out our front window.   A few years back we planted a small magnolia by the window.  Because it's early February there's nothing special about this magnolia -- it's way too early for it to bloom, and it's only sticks and tips of branches right now.
