One of my favorite thing about New Orleans were the bookstores. My Francophile came out and I exploded with joy in being able to find so many french books. Also, how awesome is it that there was a cat living in the bookstore?

I wore this to a breakfast, out in a cafe. It was girly and fun. Plus, I got an early morning cafe mocha, which made my day.  It's been a busy week, which, strangely, ensures more outfit photos. But I think things are finally slowing down some.

I had not intended on watching the Oscars, but the dresses pulled me in. I think my favorite dresses was between Anne Hathaway's pink number (though the dress looked liked it needed ironed) Salma Hayek's Egyptian inspired dress, or Amanda Seyfried's fairy tale dress. The performance by the cast of Les Mis  gave me goosebumps and, of course, I enjoyed the Captain Kirk skit. I think it might have been one of my more favorite Oscar shows that I have been alive to witness. My favorite moment, besides the Les Mis number, was when Jennifer Lawrence won the Oscar for best actress and tripped. Not in a  mean way, but rather because I adored how she handled it. Also, I was really happy that she won. What was your favorite part?

I love over-sized shirts with skinny jeans. Plus, the necklace gives the outfit a kind of fancy tinge. This is one of my favorite lazy day outfits. I tend not to photograph these, as they are lazy days. I'm more comfortable in skirts and tights than jeans, which is a big change from just two years ago. I still like jeans for days where I prefer not to have to think about what I am wearing. 

It's been amazing the way the weather has been flip flopping around. It was in the thirties a few days ago and it came back up to the fifties today. These were taken on a day it might have reached high sixties, which is unusual for November in the mid-west. But I suppose it will grow cold soon enough, which will test my runner's commitment. Time to stock up on winter coats!
