I need a dollar

Actually a dollar wouldn't be enough for the few random little treats I want to buy right this minute. You know these little purchases that are not financially painful but instantly lift up your mood, help you get through the day. Lately, it's been music (Little Dragon's "Pretty Girls" and Alt-J's "Hunger of the Pine") and books (Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, Gabaldon's latest Outlander -which I haven't started yet).

I'd rather need:

2,58 €: To download the latest SBTRKT song and James Blake's "Retrograde". Both tracks make me want to start some awkward dance moves in the métro. So far I'm holding myself back and just discreetly tap to the rythmn. The upbeat sounds of the first one lifts me up and the second one's melancholic vibe is hypnotic and the best thing so far from watching HBO's "The Leftovers".

James Blake: "Retrograde"



9€ for Dr Bonner Hemp lavender liquid soap (& Other Stories) - I'm a sucker for anything lavender based, so I badly want to try this. The scent is so relaxing and soothing, just what I'd need at the end of the day.


(& Other Stories)


29€ to get these COS earrings. The website pic doesn't do them justice at all: the shape is actually very delicate, fine. They remind me a bit of the vanrycke I've been crushing on for a long time. I really like their simple design, no eye blinding bling or extra details added: I'm crushing on such nice, original and affordable everyday jewelry!

  1. A whole tax free week-end!? That's amazing! Is that a regular event? We don't have that at all in France. It'd be SO interesting to do some shopping minus the 20% VAT!
