current obsessions

what i am loving at the moment:




Vermilion lipstick by Albeit
I don't wear lipstick every day, but when I do, I like to make a statement. I just bought this new red shade and am in love. It's a great color and looks especially flattering against a good tan in the summer. I also love the pretty gold tube it comes in!



Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler
The 1920s have always held a strong fascination for me. Like Gil Pender, the protagonist of Midnight in Paris, I often wish that I could have lived in such a glamorous and exciting time. It should come as no surprise that this book immediately caught my attention. The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books, and both Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald have always interested me. Although this book wasn't exceptionally well-written, I learned so much about these two characters' lives— their courtship, their triumphs, and their dynamic and self-destructing personalities. I found it very entertaining and couldn't put it down once I started.



Cute heart-shaped studs
I am always on the hunt for pretty stud earrings because I prefer them to hanging ones, so I was really happy when I found these little ones the other day at h&m. Although they have sparkles, their small size prevents them from overpowering your face.


Harney & Sons tea
Although my life would probably be a lot easier if I drank coffee, I can't seem to make myself like it. I prefer—and actually like— the taste of tea. I usually stick to chai or peppermint, but once in a while I like mixing it up. These Harney & Sons teas are full of flavor and are caffeine-free— perfect to drink in bed with a book before you go to sleep.


PB&J on a cracker
For some reason I had the biggest and most random craving for a PB&J yesterday around 9:30. I didn't want to make a sandwich, so instead I put a little peanut butter and strawberry jam on some Ritz crackers. It was so easy and simple, I found myself wondering why I had never done it before.
