The weather varies so much that it’s starting to get really annoying. One day I’m drinking Champagne in the park and the next I have to turn up the heat in my apartment. Looking at the people in the streets (my best way of telling the temperature) it seems to be jacket weather today, so I’m going for thick tights inside my shorts.

I’m very H&M today which is bound to happen once in a while with all the money I leave at that store.

T-shirt: H&M (One of those fake rock t-shirts. I’m not a fan, but it was on sale. Seems to be an excuse that works on anything.)
Shorts: H&M
Tights: H&M
Necklace: Secondhand
Shoes: Secondhand

Today I received the book How to Be a Budget Fashionista in the mail. It’s written by the owner of The Budget Fashionista, a site I have turned to many times for great tips, Kathryn Finney. As soon as I have finished it I’ll give a proper review, but for now I must say that this looks very interesting and perfect for a poor student like myself. It’s avaliable at Amazon for about $10.

It’s really annoying when something I like becomes something everybody wears, but sometimes I wish things that I love would become more common. The sun parasol is one of these. I think they’re so pretty but they’ll attract too much attention for me to dare to use mine.

They were seen in a few spring collections, like Hermès and Anna Sui and if you dare to, check out this seller on eBay where you can get one of your own for about $30. Maybe together we can make them common enough to use without being stared at, but not too common to ruin the fun.
