Summer Shopping

I have weaknesses, who doesn't? The kind of weakness in which I refer to (in this post) however, is of the retail variety.

Whenever I pass a book store, I can't help but buy books. I just cannot. So I dropped almost $50 on some books (that I'm finding to be friggin incredible).




D.H LAWERENCE'S: LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER, AND THE FIRST WOMAN IN LOVE
ANN BRASHERES: THE LAST SUMMER (OF YOU AND ME)

I'm currently reading LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER. I can't tell you much about it (because I literally bought it yesterday and have just begun it), but I will say it's amazing so far. I also must confess a bit of embarassment to be reading this on the bus home (when you consider the cover). Lady Catterley's bum is in full view and she's just had a tumle in the bedroom. I haven't had any of those scenes yet, but it's going to be cool to read this book. The back flap says:

"One of the major works of fiction written during the 20th century, D.H Lawerence's last novel is an erotic celebration of life. Described by the New York Times as "our times most significant romance," the controveral book was banned, burned, and the subject a landmark obscenity trial...It was not published in Great Britain until 1960, afteer having long scandalized society with it's sexually explicit decriptions of lovemaking, its bold use of four-letter words that were considered vulgar and a sotryline in which the lovers were of difference social stations..."

As I said, I'm loving it already, it's pretty amazing.

I also bought clothes (of course), and by that I mean dresses (because they're basically all I wear aside from skirts!)





And shoes.....



*Never heard of this brand, but their shoes are just as comfy. For someone who wears orthotics, that's an important thing.
*Clarks Artisans make the most incredibly beautiful and comfortable shoes. I have their boots, their summer sandals, their everything. It's all good. When I see their name (and my size) I buy.
