WHAT ARE YOU READING?

{Gwyneth Paltrow in Vogue}

Several of the tasks on my 101 in 1001 list relate to reading. I read all the Harry Potter books (#21) because, you know, how could you not? Now I'm in the process of reading every Jane Austen novel (#60), which I like to space out with a couple months between each one. But then there's just general reading I'd like to make time for (#69): twenty new books, of which I can say I've crossed off only eight. I imagine that won't sound particularly ambitious to some of you and yet I know if it were easier I'd have crossed it off the list a long time ago! ;) Do you make time to read for fun? Any must-reads you'd recommend to help me cross #69 off my list?

RECENT OUTFITS

I've been trying to remember to take quick outfit snaps each morning (when I'm not working in pajamas, that is). This is what I've been wearing this week... 

Rugby oxford // BDG jeans (only $39 right now!) // Cole Haan loafers (on sale!)

Loren Hope bracelet // Design Darling bangle

J.Crew signet ring (similar) // Loren Hope bracelet // Design Darling bangle // J.Crew bangle

J.Crew t-shirt // BDG jeans (I live in these...) // Ballet flats ordered on HauteLook

Coach ring (similar) // Design Darling bangle

It's fun to play dress-up since I have lots of goodies from the boutique stored ever-so-glamorously in my family's dining room ;) But really it's fun to mix and match the bangles to coordinate with any outfit — plus they have a hinge closure so they're easy to snap on and off when I'm at my computer. Working girl approved!

P.S. For those who have asked, the rug is from Rugs USA!
