Saturday Afternoon Special

Here’s my rainy Saturday afternoon special – random shots from around my new apartment. Happy weekend everyone!


The first and fourth wives with a "me and my helpmeet" sandwich filler



Books, glorious books!


Out and about in the front of the building


I've got to have my Euripides and Beowulf close to hand

Hey I can't work out if the thing called 'bling' is a broach or a clip, whatever it is, I love it :)

Thanks for the tip about wedges! I bought some a couple of summers ago and they were so comfy but they felt too glam' for just round by the pool so I saved them for the evening. I think I'm gonna treat myself to a pair this year :)

Aaah! Dirty Blonde...one of my top-shelf faves hahaha. I don't know why, but I've always taken pleasure in watching Courtney grow to be more and more batshit crazy. And, that copy of the Grimms complete fairy tales is fantastic! What a find!

The new place is looking great!

Raining here in Miami as well ... so I'm playing with my template and I am going CRAZZYYYYY!
It seems your new place has a lot of light, I love that. That can actually be my 'deal breaker'.
That gold Clutch is fab!

Oh heaven's to BOLEYN are you kidding me?! After having a look at your bookshelves, I think you and I may be book-soul mates. No kidding. You are absolutely awesome lady.

There are so many things I love about this post. I am always so envious of your book collection. I dream of having a personal library one day. You have such a great selection of fairy tales! The stair case to your building looks like something that belongs in ancient europe. It's totally awesome. This is such a great idea for a post!

laura said...

!!! cooooolio pics of your pad, lady! I am loving the way you decorate!

Also, is that the newest edition of Heaney's Beowulf? the one with all the pretty illustrations? I went gaga when I saw it at a publisher's sale, but can never bring myself to buy a non-Old English Beowulf. I'm a snob. Oh well. hahaha.

Oh to Be a Muse said...

that scenery will be great for outfit shots, and i love how you decorated your bookshelf, Courtney!

Pamela said...

I'm trying really hard to not dislike you for your pretty new place. My husband and I are looking at property right now and we're one part excited and two parts frustrated and stressed!
