MAMA NATURE

Since Mama Nature decided to be a crazy bitch with the 70 degree weather yesterday and the blizzard today, I decided to make the most of it by breaking out my favorite vest purchase of 2008. With summer fast approaching, the time left to spend with my Mongolian lamb fur vest is both precious and short.

shredded oversize olive sweater:boyfriend's
Mongolian lamb fur vest:Ebay find
leather pants:Victoria's Secret online store
black cut up t-shirt tied around waist:brother's old t-shirt

I'm hating this snow... My mum flew to Paris again today, wish I could have come along (stupid work!).

YOU'RE SO PRISTINE, CARINE!

If you haven't already seen this I suggest you take a peek. CNN's Revealed goes behind the scene's with French Vogue editor in chief Carine Roitfeld. She just looks so gosh darn charming. And she seems like a sweet mom too. I wouldn't mind HER picking me up from soccer practice.
