Book: Roland Barthes Travels in China, jumper: H&M, leather iphone wallet: boutique in Copenhagen, scarf: H&M, nail polish: Nails Inc: Basil St, watch: Michael Kors

Just a few of my favourite bits and pieces at the moment.

The book is one that I haven’t had a chance to start yet but really looking forward to reading. It was a freebie from my boss (perks of a publishing intern) and is an uncorrected proof of the diary notes kept by Barthes during his travels in China in 1947 with a small delegation of French philosophers. I love looking at people’s notebooks and scrapbooks, there’s something slightly voyeuristic about it, and I like the way that the text is scattered including lists and sketches along with his intimate notations. I don’t want to pick it up yet though because I’m taking part in the book group on Twitter, so currently reading Jasper Fforde’s Shades of Grey. Are any of you getting involved? If you want more info you can find it here.

    Hannah that scarf from H&M is just what I want. Is it big enough to wear as a wrap? Cute arrangement of your items too darling. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo

    i love these things. the colors are so beautiful β™₯ thanks for ur lovely comment. it is so difficult to learn foreign languages. im learning french too and it really is difficult because of the grammar and the pronunciation. i won't stop to write my blog in english. i know im not that good in english but my foreign readers cannot read the blog in german. and the bullys act so childish. they do not even put their name under the post because they are so cowardly.:(
