book/worm

My second week of university is over, and so far I'm still loving it. Everything about university is so completely amazing that I cannot put into words how happy I am that I am finally at this point in my life.
As I mentioned before, my University is split into little colleges that act as your home base. Sort of like the houses in Harry Potter. Anyways, every year, each of the colleges has their own book sale, and my college always has theirs first. So today when it opened I went with one of my very good friends where we spent a good hour looking through various books. I ended up buying a lot of books, so many in fact that I had to put them all in a huge box which I then had to lug on the subway during rush hour on my way home. The little blue book I'm holding in my pictures is one of the books I bought.
I also happened to run into the lovely Elizabeth from Chic Heroin today. I knew she went to my university, but I never expected to run into her because the campus is so big. Yet today I did. It was completely random, and weird (in a good way) because you never expect to see another blogger in a real life. It was rather exciting though because I've never met any other bloggers before.

I'm off to go do some reading now. Have a good day everybody!

Ps. The random chair is still there in the park. I'm in half the mind to take it home with me. It is a rather nice chair.

the beauty of a souvenir

Lately I've discovered many new old clothes in my basement, and now I cannot wait to wear them. Since I wear a uniform to school, I don't always get the chance to dress in my own clothes after school, so I don't simply want to take pictures of what I've found and waste the moment of surprise. I'm currently very much into dresses that are a bit below my knee. For anyone who used to watch The O.C., I love Summer's clothes in the third season. She has an amazing sense of style and all her dresses are to die for...at least in my opinion.

The tunic I'm wearing was featured in a photoshoot in one of my first posts, and I said it was vintage, yet unfortunately I was wrong, it's actually from Nigeria. Someone bought it for my mom a long time ago as a souvenir, so it is old, but definitely not "vintage". I love souvenir's. They are truly wonderful.

I'm currently searching for some good books to read, although I already have some in mind. I really enjoyed reading Jane Eyre, so I'm hoping to read some more Bronte novels, and than I want to get started on Jane Austen. I'd love to read Pride and Prejudice. I heard it's amazing. Anyways, suggestions would be lovely.
