These boyfriend jeans? They’re as good as mine.
Curious… what was the first pair of jeans you just had to have? And why?

Daily Confession
Hardly inspired by any of this year’s “summer reads”, I found myself drawn to a classic. To many, THE classic… To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. Sure to have read it as required reading at some point in my life, I barely remembered it. Now, 5 days and 323 pages later, I can’t get it off my mind. The story is nuanced and sweet and disheartening and, somehow, hopeful. Beyond all this is the story of the story. Mockingbird was Harper Lee’s first novel, and she never wrote another. She has not granted an interview since 1964. Some say the incredible success of the book [over 30 million copies sold, a Pulitzer Prize and an Oscar winning movie adaptation] was overwhelming. Some say she knew she couldn’t top what she had done. And some say she only had one book in her. If this is the case, clearly one is enough.
If you haven’t read To Kill a Mockingbird, lately or ever, pick it up. Even Oprah says to. In the mean time, what have you been reading this summer?
Do Tell…
Confession time. I may be one of 2 females I know that did not read the book Eat Pray Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert. So the onslaught of publicity for the upcoming movie got me thinking about which I like better in the first place, book or movie. So many great books were absolutely massacred on the big screen, and plenty of so-so books went on to become box office hits. [And subsequently sold more books!]
So Do Tell… Book or Movie? [Oh, and Do Tell... which other "books to movies" do you love, love, love... or just love to hate?]
