Shopping spree

These are my Zara sale buys; I didn't intend to buy anything but couldn't pass up on this leather skirt with pockets - how very Céline! The fine knit is to take with me to California for in the evenings (YAY, 33 DAYS TILL I FLY TO CALI), it has lovely beading nd shoulder pads.

XOXO - Now I'm off to see Faithless in concert in the giant park near my house... We come one!

Austen, it's (finally) your time

I have a confession to make.  I have never read a Jane Austen novel.  I've seen the movies, know the stories, but, with my head hung in shame, I must finally come clean and admit that I've never actually read any Austen.

I feel like a traitor to my sex and my profession!

I haven't been able to get into any of the books I've brought home in the last few days, so I've decided to rectify the situation.

With which Austen novel do I start?  Pride & Prejudice? Sense & Sensibility? Emma?  Northanger Abbey?  I'm leaning toward Emma.  What do you think?
