Currently


book
I'm finally going to start the new one by Jhumpa Lahiri that's been sitting here for a couple of months now. Or maybe I'll get distracted (again) by some non-fiction. We'll see.

song
David Gray- Nightblindness

frequently worn outfit or item
A vintage short black dress, a-line, with the tiniest white polka dots.

perfume
Chergui. I need to write a full review. Bought it in the fall and recently discovered how well it works in the heat.

food
Vegetarian sushi. There's a local restaurant here that makes amazing rolls. Their mock shrimp tempura is to die for.

drink
Mango Bellini.

guilty pleasure
See above. Normally I prefer to eat my calories and not drink them.

bane of my existence
Closet space (lack of).

anticipation
I'm going to meet my new niece in 10 days.

wishlist
Serge Lutens bell jars. Several of them.

thought
There's a rumour about the new Estée Lauder release, Sensuous, being close/reminiscent/a dupe of the legendary Donna Karan Chaos. I have yet to smell it, as I never thought a new Lauder would make me run to Bloomie's, but if there is even a hint of truth to the story, I'll stop torturing myself looking at those unboxed Chaos bottles from dubious sources on eBay. I'd rather buy something by JAR, or a couple of non-export Lutens than drop the money on an old Donna Karan.

What are your current favorites, banes and thoughts? Please share them!
