a thousand pages, give or take a few...

What is better than a new pair of shoes, one might ask? I am a tad fussy when it comes to my footwear and, as a result, once I find a pair that I like I have been known to wear them to death.  I've been wearing a lot of heels and wedges as of late - partly because I was in the mood but also because I had been on the search for a replacement for my favorite (recently kaput) flats.
I ended up buying these woven flats at Urban Outfitters recently because a) they came in half-sizes (rare for Urban's shoes) and b) they seemed pretty sturdy compared to other flats I've tried recently. They are also black and brown so I think they will go with a wide rage of outfits.
So far so good, though I may be wearing them too much - in other words... three out of the last four days. Forgive me if they show up here again soon!
outfit details:
romper - h&m
cardigan & brooch - vintage 
shoes - u.o.

Now back to reading to F.Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise!  I have been working on being a better reader as I have a collection of a dozen or so half-read books on my bedside table that have been collecting dust for months!

back to school?


That's it. Though, I originally decided to opt out of getting my Masters in anything a couple of years ago, the following has completely changed my mind:

"LONDON (Reuters) - A university in Liverpool has launched a Master of Arts degree in The Beatles, the city's most famous sons, and called the qualification the first of its kind.

Liverpool Hope University says on its website that the course entitled "The Beatles, Popular Music and Society" consists of four 12-week taught modules and a dissertation.

"There have been over 8,000 books about The Beatles but there has never been serious academic study and that is what we are going to address," said Mike Brocken, senior lecturer in popular music at Hope.

"Forty years on from their break-up, now is the right time and Liverpool is the right place to study The Beatles.

"This MA is expected to attract a great deal of attention, not just locally but nationally and we have already had inquiries from abroad, particularly the United States."

The university said it was the first postgraduate taught course on The Beatles in the United Kingdom, and possibly the world.

The Fab Four were born and raised in Liverpool and went on to become arguably the most successful pop band of all time."

"The Beatles, Popular Music and Society"? Um, aside from the fact that I could teach the damn program, where do I sign?
