I've got a pocket got a pocketful of sunshine

I expect to have my ass handed to me on Friday in an action-packed day of meetings about my pre-prospectus. THEREFORE. I am focusing on the positive: I have a trip to Denmark to meet my sister's in-laws this summer to plan (and re-new my passport for because the bugger just insists on expiring a couple weeks before we leave), I have a mountain of home-made ice-cream to convince other people to help me eat, and I have a "reading practices" interview to conduct over cornish pasties (which I must teach myself to make) tonight instead of going to the crappy prospective students party. So. Everything is looking up.

I desperately want these things....and they give me joy:



Though wanting that skirt may actually be a psychological re-direct from thinking that model's hair is fab, I'm not gonna lie.



If anyone says they don't want this dress, I just assume they are lying to protect themselves from the heartbreak of neverever being able to afford it on a grad school stipend.



Do you guys know Shabby Apple? I so very love the way they thematize their new collections...this one comes from the "Roman Holiday" collection. How charming is that? 10-out-of-10, that's how charming.

I want nice things. I can't have nice things. But I want them.
