Rainy days

Top: thrifted. Vest: Valleygirl. Jeans, boots: K-Mart. Beanie: Rubi.

We've been having some serious rainy days recently. I love the rain! It makes me feel cozy and like it's perfectly OK to stay snuggled up inside all day, reading Gone Girl (which is brilliant btw) and watching Gossip Girl (which is terrible)(but I'm addicted and need to see it through). 

I've set myself the goal of reading one book per month this year. This sounds like a pathetic number I know, but because my whole degree is basically reading I never feel like reading for fun in my spare time. But this year I will. I've already read two books so I think I'm off to a good start. Although my Kobo seems to have broken just as I'm desperate to follow Gone Girl up with another great read...

PS Linking up with Shanna's Random Wednesdays, The Pleated Poppy and Lauren's Style Sessions today!

  2. Oooh yeah I have gotten off to a slow start at reading this year. I have all these books I want to read and just forget! Or don't think about it 'til I'm tucked into bed. Gah! Must get better. And you look super cute - I love your camo vest.

  49. You are the cutest in camo - seriously, you rock it! I never get time to read books, and I think 1 a month is a great goal... I have been reading "The Paris Wife" since the beginning of January, it is just so hard to catch a moment to read, but I really enjoy it when I do!
