read my first zafon book! it was such fun! reminded me of the books i used to read in the summers when i was growing up.
DEVOURED time’s 100 most influential people in the world issue. sarah jessica parker’s tribute to sarah burton (queen of mcqueen) was adorable. i’ve never been a fan of her real work but i’m now a fan of her writing.
i have to say sense and style...

to love what is mortal
i don’t know what to write. i wish i were somewhere else. i wish people would stop taking advantage of my friendship. i wish people wouldn’t raise their eyebrows at me. i wish i had never started telling people things. mornings scare me. i just want to be happy for a bit. preferably by the water, reading.
