It's probably stupid that this bugs me, but this model is sort of blah. Could've totally picked someone better to model all of the DKNY coats. just sayin'. But anyways, I've been wanting a not-so-dressy winter coat and I really liked this one (liked it better in navy, but it was sold out in my size). Stuff of Rue La La can still be pretty pricey, so unless I'm completely in love upon arrival, I might be returning.
Forever 21's shoes are pretty cheap and I was in the market for some simple black heels. My previous pair are from Target and were ready to be replaced. And ever since I watched a random Regis & Kelly episode where they talked about the necessity of owning a pair of nude pumps, I have had my eye out. I'm not sure these are the right pictures of the ones I purchased because mine look cuter in person.
Of course, BOOKS! If you have read my blog, you will gather that I am a fan of God. Lately, I've been trying to get better about spending time with God and growing in my faith. I tend to have a hard time sitting down and reading the Bible, but I have always enjoyed and taken away a lot from books like Blue Like Jazz or The Shack, so I purchased a few recommendations from friends.
I like buying books used - makes me feel a little more earth friendly, but I have a hard time finding the books I want in Half-Priced Books. Usually I forget the author's name, and I feel bad harassing the employees to constantly look up books for me. Plus, Amazon always has some pretty good prices and the past two times I have ordered them online, free shipping was offered for orders over $25, which is easily spent.
Greg Boyd has actually come to my church on numerous occasions and I have always enjoyed what he has to say. He is a smart man and, for a former atheist, very well educated about the Bible. If you live anywhere near St. Paul, Minnesota or happen to be out that way, I would suggest checking him out at Woodland Hills Church where he is senior pastor - if for no other reason than to tell me what you thought.
And for non-spirituality-related books I went with this series. I've seen them around and heard a little bit of buzz, so I thought I'd check them out. I really need to start doing book swaps and only purchase the ones I cannot live without. Or simply utilize my local library. But there's something aesthetically pleasing about a bookshelf and I plan on having a couple in my future home. What's on your shelf? Any other books I should be reading?
