I’m so glad a few of you commented about my last outfit post being in front of the bookshelves in the library because I think that may be my new “blank wall.” I spent forever looking for (what I call) The Swedish Blogger Background: white wall (no outlets or aircon vents of any kind to distract from the canvas), high ceilings, large old picture windows with window seats and ruggedly finished hardwood floors. Apparently I do not live in a place that has anything in common with Sweden. So, bookshelves (and non-socialized health care) it will be.
Speaking of books, have you guys read anything about David Sedaris’ latest? You have to, have to, have to go pick up a copy right now (or if you are short on funds or patience, click here to go to this NPR excerpt). Who knew a bestiary could be so hilarious and apt? Not me. Who knows what a bestiary is? I do! (Because I looked it up here after hearing the NPR interview.)
Oh right, the clothes and things.
Isn’t this t-shirt great? It’s so soft that I end up running my fingers up and down the loopy sleeves all day (the fashionista’s version of twiddling her thumbs). Cath got it from Rockit Boutique for my/our birthday.
The scarf is gifted from Donni Charm, the watch (also gifted) is Michele Watches, the belt is Madewell, skirt is Citizens of Humanity, the shoes are from Mango, the nail polish is by Priti (love, love, love this line of nontoxic polishes).
I tried the posing in front of a blank wall for a while but tired of it very quickly. Now – as for the colour coded books on the shelves behind you, lady! Your nail polish matches a set of spines I see too 🙂
That tee is MARVELOUS! And I will definitely be checking out the new Sedaris. He can do no wrong, if you ask me.
Yay, I love the bookcase. Glad that there will be lots more photos in front of it. The tee is lovely but I really really adore your shoes! Gorgeous!
love this outfit. the shirt is uber cute. your bookshelf is so nice!!!
Absolutely love that shirt and this outfit is spot on! 🙂
Ohh lala! I love love your top and your nail polish!
I Love the top ! I have boots just like those except mine are pink and I got them from VS ! Too Cute as Always.
That bookshelf makes a beautiful background, especially with all the book covers sorted by colour and size! As for running your hands over the sleeves of the tee all day: I bought a faux fur scarf from Uniqlo while in NYC. So soft. It’s wrapped around a stuffed baby seal atm (I figured the fluffy creature deserved to be swaddled.don’t ask why), but you can bet I’ll be petting it absentmindedly when I wear it lol.
Pretty grey booties!

I want access to that bookcase background so I can take awesome product photos for my bags! Love this background so much. (Too bad I’m located a gazillion miles away.) It’s becoming a signature for AsianCajuns!
Love the loppy arms and bookcase
XOXO,

I’m in love with that watch!!! I want I want!
That’s right. You are a good writer, thanks.
Tee hee, “Swedish Blogger Background”–it’s so true. I get frustrated that none of the walls in my house satisfy these conditions. So I end up toting my camera and tripod around and feel like a huge dork/weirdo the majority of the time.
Fabulous post! I enjoy browsing your blog because of you guys often publish well thought out articles. Great work once again. I am excited to adding to favorites this website. I am going to subscribe to this feed also. Thanks!
