A Persol Birthday

My lovely friend SM of papermoon inspired me last year to start a list called "Things I want that I'm not buying myself" to keep track of the various random and occasionally absurd accoutrements that catch my eye. Highlights on my current list, safely housed on a tiny yellow stickie note on my computer dashboard, include a Lomo camera, Sabon bath soaps and a gold waist purse (I promise it's not in the "Intrepid American goes to Europe" style).

For my 22nd birthday yesterday, I was able to strike off one of my wishes.

I'm a bit sunglasses obsessed and if one ray of sun pierces through a fiercely cloudy day it's reason enough to whip out one of my extremely tinted pairs. I've been attached to my Rayban Wayfarers (real unique, I know) for over a year now but when I found Persol's folding 714 sunglasses I knew they were my next want-need item.

This isn't the best picture of me ever, but ignore that. I am just the mannequin so focus on the gorgeous example of plastic and metal before you.
