The Sartorial Librarians: what we're loving at the moment...

So, it's been a while since we've posted, and a lot has happened since the last post! One of us got married (yay!), I went on vacation and went to a wedding, and we've both been doing lots of librarian things. Summer in the library just means it's time to catch up on all those things you can't do when students are around. We also both have a current literary obsession and, of course, we've been thinking about back-to-school shopping and what items we want to add to our wardrobe for fall! So, here's what we're loving at the moment:

George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire

HBO recently showed the first book in this series, A Game of Thrones, as a miniseries. We both started reading them shortly after the series began, and are completely OBSESSED! We are both currently on the third book, A Storm of Swords, and can't wait to discuss the chapters we've just read with each other! The fifth book in the series, A Dance with Dragons, comes out today, and there are supposed to be 2 more after that. However, George R.R. Martin has taken a while to come out with the fifth, and I'm afraid it will take him a while to complete the last two...But they are fantastic! They have a wonderful mix of science fantasy, magic, but are still real enough to make you feel for the characters. Each chapter is told from a different character's perspective, in third-person limited, and Martin is a great story-teller.

TOMS Wedges

A friend of mine recently purchased a pair these shoes, and I think they are super cute and look really comfortable. I think they're shoes I could wear to work (in the summer) but also pair with jeans, shorts, skirts, or dresses the rest of the time.

American Eagle Preppy One-Button Blazer

Ladyblazer/Schoolboy Blazer
I am still on the hunt for a great blazer! I love the styling of this blazer, the satin detail, and the lining. However, it is a bit more than I want to spend, so I'm hoping this one goes on sale soon!

Amy:
OK Amy now... what am *I* loving right now? Well, I agree with the book series we're currently reading - I <3 it. I can't put it down - it's seriously difficult to come to work these days when the book is sitting there, wanting me to read it.

Kittens:
I'm loving... kittens! My new hubby and I just adopted a 5 month old teen kittten - his name is Dexter, and he's PRECIOUS:

Eye-shadows:

As far as fashion items, I have been adding to my eye-shadow collection - I have an unhealthy obsession with MAC and Urban Decay eye-shadows. It's true. I just purchased several purples - I'm going to do a whole post about my collection *SO FAR* perhaps next!

Seriously though - they have the best pigmentation and they're relatively affordable and they last forever. I've changed to buying the little pans and putting them in a palette b/c the single eyeshadows from MAC are cheaper that way: $11 vs. $14.

Eyeliner:

I just bought purple eyeliner - finally. I bought MAC's Technakohl Liner in Purple Dash:
