Ransom my heart

I love fall. Or Autumn, whatever you want to call it. I love flannel, and boots and layers and tights. I love the smell of the leaves, all the colors littering the ground, the pine cones as well. I love buying my books for class, and cramming my backpack full of supplies. Even though it is July, I am excited about Autumn. I always get myself some back-to-school items every year, usually I replace a few of my fave items that I wore out, or a few new items. This year I am having a shoe craze. I keep thinking of all the shoes that I want to buy, and how much I think they can spice up my wardrobe. Here are my picks so far:

Doc Martins. As much as I love all the colorful ones, I really want a pair of these black ones. I would actually settle for some knock-offs, I think Alloy had some cute boots in their fall catalog this year.

Toms. I think I would go for these navy ones because they would go with anything. I think they would be great to slip on right before I walk Louie or go on a bike ride, what do you think?

These i spotted when I was at Incognito buying my mocs and I thought they were awesome. I would love to wear these out with my friends instead of heels all the time.

Rain boots. For Spring, Summer and Fall. Maybe even a few winter days. I think I would love either a bright bold color like the ones above or some crazy patterned ones. Like the ones below.

Enough about shoes. I have just finished another book (hooray for Summer reading!) It was "Ransom my heart" by Mia, Princess of Genovia, with help from Meg Cabot. I adore Meg Cabot, her humor is very much like my own and although her books are a little predictable at times, they are very much enjoyable.  I have to say that "Ransom" was amazingly girly. What I loved the most was the fact that Meg Cabot "helped" Mia (her awesome character from her hit series "The Princess Diaries") write the book, and so all of the proceeds went to Greenpeace, Mia's favorite organization. 

The book was great, like I mentioned, pretty girly. To sum it up without giving away too much of the plot (in case someone else wants to read, and I always give away too much) it is a sort-of female version of Robin Hood, with a whole lot of romance added to it. The characters in this novel mirror characters in the Princess Diaries, so if you are already a fan, I would check this out. My next book of choice is "Me talk pretty one day" by David Sedaris. I am working my way through a a three milk-crate stack of books, before I am allowed to purchase another book. Unless it is part of a series, I am sticking to the ones I have. I had a different book that I was supposed to read, but the cover fell off, and since my books tend to hangout in my purses a lot, I did not want to damage it. Any ideas on how to repair it? It is a paperback, I am thinking of just taking a hot-glue gun to it.

So lovelies, anything on your shopping list for fall or on your reading list for Summer?
