Hello Darlings,
Some days are filled with activities that I truly love, such as shopping, reading and swimming. Today was one of those days!!! After finishing Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence and writing out my favorite quotes - yup, I have a journal to write down my favorite quotes - I started Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise.
As for my thoughts on The Age of Innocence.... Well, I simply loved it, and love most every classic that I read. I have a strong belief that classic literature can never be bad because it withstood the test of time. The Age of Innocence is the first novel by a woman to win the Pulitzer Prize. It exquisitely details the struggle between love and responsibility through the experiences of men and women in Gilded Age New York. Wharton's profound understanding of her character's lives makes the triangle of Archer, May and Ellen come to life with an irresistible urgency. A wry, incisive look at the ways in which love and emotion must negotiate the complex rules of high society.The book is wonderful read that provides a unique sense of the past society that shaped the famous New York city.
Speaking of of The Age of Innocence, I came across this quote that I found to be very amusing....
"Ah, well, Boston is more conservative than New York; but I always think it's safe rule
for a lady to lay aside her French dresses for one season."
- Edith Wharton
Speaking of winter and fall... I have found the most perfect pair of flat Kors boots, they are sooo awesome :) Totally excited about them! I know, I know.... I am getting ahead of myself, but I just couldn't pass by them when they were on a 65% off sale and I wanted them since last winter but couldn't justify spending $500 on a 5th pair of boots for that year. So I got them for this year... with a much better deal :)
I am wearing: dvb skinny flare jeans; E community top from Aritzia; Kimberly Baker Dove Necklace; Accessories& Beyond Bracellets in Gold; Michael Kors Heels; Gustto Cokera Purse; Chanel Sunglasses.
It's amazing how quickly times change, it was unfit for a lady to wear a new dress for at least a year, however now we wear things right of the racks and purchase our winter stuff in the summer and our summer stuff in the winter. Our times have become so rapid that the seasons no longer play any importance as the designers are producing their winter and resort collection in the spring/summer of the previous year. Everything nowadays is in such a rush. Everything is becoming like a fast food market - easy, fast and ready to go in 5 minutes! Is our world becoming too fast that even we can't catch up with it? Sometimes that's what it feels like...
As I went out to pick up few things for my Vegas Birthday weekend,I couldn't help but be frustrated at all of the boots and jackets that I came across. It is high 20s outside and I can't help but think of winter clothes... honestly, I even heard two women discussing their X-mas list. I mean come on, Christmas? This is becoming too depressing....it feels like everyone if getting too ahead of themselves. Can't we just relax, breathe and take 5 minute to just be?
Personally, I am one of those people that can find peace and calm in the middle of the of chaos.That perfect calm moment usually happens over a cup of espresso and a book...sometimes taking those minutes is all you need. When shopping with my mommy , we take 5 minutes to stop by Godiva and pick up Dark Chocolate Decadence-it became a tradition. Those 5 minutes is all you need to restart and reboot,and of course satisfy the sweet-tooth.
