Must Have Summer Item: Boyfriend Jean Shorts

Boyfriend jean shorts are the #1 thing on my list of things to buy for this coming summer season. They literally are perfection and I refuse to settle for the first pair I see; I plan on searching for the next 2-3 months to find THE perfect pair. They can't be too short and not too long, they can't be too light or too dark, they have to have the perfect amount of rips, and they definitely have to be baggy but not the point where it looks like I'm wearing a diaper. As you can tell I am pretty picky with this look and I am determined to find them. I personally love them with a skinny light brown leather belt that's super long where you have to fold over the strap in the front with gladiators or worn out brown leather Sperry's.

Here are a few that are sold on www.shopbop.com



Ever 146.30$


Vince Denim 195$


AG Adriano Goldschmied 165$

***These shorts are a bit more on the expensive side and aren't perfect...I went to Zara today and found some that look just like this (if not nicer) for 50$

Obsession: Anthropologie Intimates

I am in love with the frills, the bows, the lace, and the ruffles that are all over Anthropologie's bras, panties, and pj's. Have a look!

Music: Duffy

I am obsessed with this song. Ever since I went to go see An Education this past weekend (which by the way was amazing) I cannot get this song out of my head. The horrible thing is that I can't find it anywhere on Limewire or Frostwire....I would buy it on iTunes but my mom has my credit card under hostage. Oh well I'll just keep searching, but for now I'll settle with YouTube.

Compagnie de Provence

Compagnie de Provence is a French company created in 1990 that sell, in my opinion, the best soap in the world. The scents are rich and natural with an olive oil base mixed with different notes of lavender and rose. Not only does it smell amazing, but the designs are clean, modern, and fashionable. I bought some eau de toilette and soaps for myself and my mother when I was at Le Bon Marche in Paris. I bought the Original line, but I am dying to try the Summer Grapefruit and Wild Rose scents from the Pure line. I am not sure exactly where they sell this brand in Montreal...I'm assuming Holt Renfrew and some other little boutiques, but my mother did say that she once saw them at Winners (shocking!). Anyway here is a link to the USA website, which I find much more helpful than the French website: http://www.lcdpusa.com/

Incense Lavender Liquid Soap - 28$
