It feels like I can’t stop talking about the weather, but I want to enjoy it while it’s still nice! The past couple of weekends it’s been warm enough for me to pull out the denim cutoff shorts that I lived in last summer. You know that comfort is key for me and I wanted to create an outfit that would be easy to wear in these warm spring days. I’m really into this pale, soft blue right now, so I love the color of this nail polish, along with the sleeveless button-down. Until I bring my toes out of hibernation and give myself a fresh pedicure, I’ll keep wearing cute and comfy sneakers like the ones above. I don’t know that I’m cool enough to pull off the backpack trend, but I really like the way this sleek white version looks this causal outfit.

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

I can totally see you with that backpack. It’s very elegant-chic and I think it would work for most outfits :) Actually, it would really work with this outfit you wore a little while ago: http://starcrossedsmile.com/2015/03/not-quite-spring/ just without the coat (which I don’t think you need anymore anyway!)
And I really love soft blue too, that essie shade is dreamy, but somehow I know I’d never reach for it – for some reason my nail polish range is very narrow and loads of colours (even though I love them) don’t feel right on my nails. Weird weird weird.
I think you’re right- it would look cute with that outfit. I would be so afraid of it getting dirty though!
I’m pretty experimental with my nail colors. I think I’ll try most/all colors at least once! Blue is my favorite color :)
love the color scheme :)

Thank you!
It’s hard to not want to talk about the weather when it has been so perfect! Love the white bag, and of course the polish color, which I’m wearing right now!

Thank you Natalie! I could totally picture you pulling off a chic backpack :)
