War and Pieces

The title comes from my professor's most recent recital that I attended tonight. It was a compilation of war songs, prayers and tunes all masterfully sung and acted (of course, its Mr. Fracker!)

He truly is an inspiring teacher, I can come out of a lesson feeling like I"m the greatest singer ever, if I just practice and put into practice the principles he's given me. As if he's a master toolmaker that just shows all his students how to use the instruments they've already been given. Gently guiding, pointing the way with a hand that has had much experience and knowledge.

He truly is a great teacher.

On a totally different note (get it note, music?! I love puns)

I want these shoes.

I want them real bad.

Like the way a french woman craves champagne for just the right touch of sparkling bubbles, I crave these shoes for the right touch of casual beauty in my shoe wardrobe.

Imagine its Saturday morning, (which is perfect because I love Saturday morning) and you are going to go to the farmer's market. What do you wear?

Slip on a pair of comfy but chic jeans, a plain cotton tee, and a fatigue boyfriend military jacket (with the amount of detail, can you tell I want the jacket too?) and what shoes? Oh I know, my suede Macalister Boots! "Borrowed from the boys" is the line that J. Crew uses to advertise, but I just like the slightly slouchy, but also structured look of them. With the contrast stitching and suede (useless in Michigan winter, but that's okay, it looks great!) it is the perfect accompaniment to all things casual chic and Saturday morning.
