Awkward Hug.

I am a huge Harry Potter fan, I have been since 1999.
BUT REALLY
this has to be the MOST AWKWARD hug in the history of film hugs.
From Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.


& for me, this is a classic giggle(and most likely why EB and I are such good friends). From Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince....ohhh Warner Brothers, Dumbledore SO wouldn't makes this face!

Recap.

This is just a little follow up on my April 2nd post of things I wanted in spring(http://bit.ly/nDPsTF). Since we didn't have a spring (just rain), my wish list carried over nicely into summer.
I did extremely well with my list, here is what I came out with!

1. Sam Edelman's: My big splurge of the summer, these fantastic shoes make my life very happy!! For some reason I don't have a good picture of me in them, so this is all I can do:
2. Round Sunglasses: I ended up with a wonderful pair of round Ray Bans that Jonathan got for me in Vancouver, BC. Picture also includes #5, Vintage Hat
3. Backpack: I got this cute faux leather backpack at Spring for back to school!
4. Tassels: I got 2 tasseled pieces that I love, a faux leather belt a la H&M and Runway by Joe Fresh leather heels.

5.Vintage Hat: I got this hat at Urban Cottage Antiques and Collectibles (1819 Granville Street, Halifax, NS). See above for pic.
This is my favorite antique shop in the city and I've got a lot of great items there from this hat, to my 1940's bed frame and everywhere in between including chairs, coffee table, lamps and jewelry!

6. I've looked all over, I couldn't find any double rings I like in Halifax or Toronto! Next stop Etsy.com!

7.Replacement Leather Jacket: I've been searching for a new leather jacket because mine was in pretty bad shape! It took about a year to find one I wanted, and I ended up with this super cool Levi's jacket from Kensington Market in Toronto, On. $49 well spent!

Even though lots of these pieces will carry over into Fall for me, I'm sure I'll have a Fall/Winter wish list soon!

I want these right meow!!

Parti-Colour.

Am I a total weirdo for REALLLYYYY wanting these parti-coloured tights??

(http://www.modcloth.com)

Or is that way to 15th Century?

Napoleon.

I have my European History exam tonight, the only thing my brain has room for is (in no particular order) enlightenment, the glorious revolution, the french revolutions, the great depression, peasant revolts, lenin, wwI, wwII, cold war, stalin, treaties and pacts of all sorts, capital cities, socialism and Napoleon Bonaparte. I don't know what it is with this following image of Napoleon, maybe that I'm so used to him being painted in military clothing, but I love this painting of him 1806. I hope you like it as much as I do!


"Napoleon I on his Imperial Throne, by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, 1806"

Now THAT is an emporior if I've ever seen one!
