Word of the Week

Insouciance


For items and where to buy click here!

I'm quite the book worm, happily spending many evenings curled up working my way through a good thick novel. This has led to a decent comprehension of words... but has not improved my pronunciation in the least! Seriously

One word that has been cropping up for years in various books is insouciance; and while I figured out what it meant I've never used it... if I were to take a stab at it last week I probably would've said ins-ooce-eance. Not pretty, people.  But thankfully there's a handy thing called the internet which set me straight. And insouciance sums up very nicely what I need to feel right now, last week drained me emotionally, plus it's summer and if ever there was a time to be carefree and light-hearted it's now!

  2. I need another pleated skirt like I need another hole in my head... But I am now seriously contemplating adding the jardin skirt to my J. Crew cart, because it's adorable. Especially with those mint green pumps (which, by the way, are already in my J. Crew cart- but who would be surprised by that?)
    xox,
