Diane Matcheck, The Sacrifice

It's been a while since I actually finished reading a book. I mean it's already late April of 2010, and the last book I read cover to cover was back in January? I'm sincerely amazed by how fast the time goes by. I actually finished reading this book Saturday night but I've only remembered to blog about it today at work.

Diane Matcheck's The Sacrifice is a young adult fiction piece, and this is actually the second time reading this book. I read it the first time when I was around 13, and the only thing I remembered about the book almost ten years later was that it had made me cry.

Spring Feminine

This post is so very belated, but I figured it was better late than never.

So I finally, finally got myself a white caridigan. It's the Loft ruffle front caridgan. This picture really does not do it justice. I saw it in the store and just knew I had to have it. It wasn't even on sale. (I hardly ever buy anything for the retail price.) I am very content with this purchase.

I've been thinking of buying a watch, but it really was never high up on my list because I had a functioning watch, as beat up as it was. Again it was another in-store love affair. I saw this Skagen beauty on sale at Nordstrom for less than $60 and couldn't pass up a good deal. I'm scared of wearing it too much for fear of junking it up. The texture of the leather straps is absolutely amazing!

On another note, I ordered new straps for my other beat up Skagen watch. I really appreciate Skagen's asthetic. It's minimal with surprising details - just my kind of style.
