the clothes 2011

Nasha has been quite enjoying the springtime emergence flowers all across this college campus. She spends her free time lolling about in any bit of shrubbery that hints at blossoming.

I spent the better part of the weekend at my Grandmother's house. My mother is also in town from Washington State for my upcoming graduation, so it was a meeting of three generations. We celebrated Mother's Day and my Grandmother cooked some of my favorite meals.
These pictures I snapped in her basement. She collects vintage Coca Cola memorabilia. It's really a magnificent basement to wander around in.

My college has a lot of random and wonderful traditions, such as our "Midnight Scream" before every day of finals. The other day it was time for another epic tradition of ours--The Duct Tape Wars. The battle is staged with North Complex dormitories against South Complex dormitories, represented by red and blue respectively. This year there was a twist as halfway through the war a new army emerged on the scene wearing green and united the other two opposing sides. There are rules and referees to our war and the biggest one is that all weapons much be made from duct tape.

The lady on the left, snapped by Stylesightings, is wearing my ideal of a summer outfit. I really admire people who manage to stay elegant even in the hottest months. Also, she seems to be channeling one of my favorite actresses Audrey Tautou.

"We're having a heatwave,
A tropical heatwave,
The temperature's rising,
It isn't surprising,
She certainly can, can-can!
Her anatomy makes the temperature rise to 93!" --lyrics from Heatwave, Irving Berlin

I'm re-watching Le Mepris. It's perfect inspiration for summer and dreams of Capri...


I have been receiving a wealth of mail lately. Just the other day a package arrived from Cassie of Tofu's Closet bearing more sweets from Hawaii and a really great tee.

Also, Little Boat and I are exchanging packages and hers just arrived. I'm addict for new items, so I wore the scarf she sent me right away. Let's hope she likes the items I selected for her...
