The second John that I fall in love with in this month

Permanent Red: Essays in seeing also by John berger

I heard about his book in a lecture this year and the lecturer highly recommended some of his books ' The way of seeing' and 'About looking' to us. I didn't read his book before but from the titles of his books, I can see that he is an observer to reveal new layers of understanding to things we see.

I know my closet has been flooded by navy blue, but I just love the subtlety of dark blue. I am addicted and I don't care.

I have already missed a beauty in Urban Outfitters last summer. A gorgeous NAVY blue dress with lace trim by Vaudeville & Burlesque. SO PRETTY. Sadly they are sold out now, that's really disappointing. I have even tried to contact V&B to see if I could buy the dress from them directly. NO REPLY.

Until last week I saw somebody selling this dress on ebay(how could they not want to keep it!) I did try to place a bid for like more than 5 times, OUTBID OUTBID OUTBID. The auction ended at 40something and with postage was like 50. It is a bit too much for a used dress. The seller even mentioned there was slight bubbling on the dress but seemed that people don't care about it. Anyway I didn't win the auction. Yes, I have missed it again.

Navy-addiction makes me looking for more similar items. Here they are...
