the pursuit of happiness

today's best things:

1. a new mac eyeliner. (it tends to smudge a little bit, but i think i shall use it at night to create an unintentionally smoky eye.)
2. pale peach nail polish
3. incredibly smart residents
4. being able to keep up with incredibly smart residents
5. a free lecture and dinner on the embryology of the physician
6. kani salad and sushi at said dinner
7. raining at dusk

seven is an excellent number. all in all a very good day for miss margaux.

cardigans&skirts&love --

there's something about september that always makes me want to run out and buy sweaters to burrow in. it always seems like the perfect month for the softest cardigans and glossiest skirts; i think new england was built specifically for september. i spent the whole morning from duty devoted to cardigan-hunting. {i could have been a bear in a previous light, with my penchant for hibernation. hello goldilocks.}

ruffles! and mohair! this blumarine concoction reminds me of the frothiest pastries.

i particularly adore the robin's egg blue-ness of anthropologie's glenallen cardigan,
as well as the utter lushness of prada's ruffled plum cardigan.

tracy reese does floral gorgeously in scarlet, and tops this creation off with a beret.

i couldn't resist throwing in something so charming from the sartorialist

omg flamingos!&plaid! by eley kishimoto

the glossy blue against that cream is irresistible. adam and eve does it again.

and finally, charles nolan sends us off to uni in what may be the smartest outfit ever.

Just looking at this picture makes me forget how much my feet hurt
after running around in the hospital all night. Have a gorgeous morning!
