Packages wrapped with a bow.

The greatest gifts come in small pink packages. With the abundance of unforeseen bundles I've been blessed with lately, some amazing, others I could honestly do without, I need to remind myself to indulge in my own joie de vivre. The sweet smell of spring, truffles, extravagant shoes, champagne cocktails, and living my 20's with an overflow of whim and wonder. Each of these elements delivered in various packages of their own, and each tied with a bow.

An education.

When it comes to movies, I'm not the biggest admirer. I still will take time out every now and then to watch Father of the Bride, Mean Girls, and the occasional Netflix movie, but other than that, I never actually plan on sitting still for two hours to watch a flick, much like some of my movie buff friends. Although yesterday was a different story. I planned on seeing the film, An Education, after I heard lovely Chloe, rave about the story line, the fashions, locations, and the acting. So yesterday, I downloaded the movie off of ITunes, crossing my fingers that I would love it since it wasn't the cheapest movie of the bunch, and just as I had hoped, I was enamored. Carey Mulligan is just so adorable and the overall style of the movie was unbelievably chic (the shots of Paris throughout the movie reassured my desire to visit). An Education was just added to the list of movies that in my opinion, is worth sitting still for.

Camel continued.

Quite recently, I expressed my likeness to jackets of the tan color family. The Sartorialist has been shooting photos left and right of arguably some of the most fashionable and chic women in Paris. And not so surprisingly, I have stumbled across a more pictures to add to my neutral fashion folder.

Pssst- I've also recently added a few of my recent blog obsessions to my "Playing Favorites" column, enjoy! Xx
