A new level of book-love!
ever since I discovered this new possibility for books I can’t stop thinking how to get my hands on one!!! This Kate Spade Emma book clutch is little more than $ 300 dollars, though, so I’d rather not fantasize too hard about obtaining it! The Olympia Le-Tan versions are $ 800 more however, although tons…

Αυτό το σαββατοκύριακο διαβάζω ποίηση, ψάχνω να βρω μυθιστορήματα για την επόμενη εβδομάδα, ψάχνω χρόνο για απογευματινές βουτιές, βρίσκω deadlines και ξεχασμένες δουλειές – what are the symptoms of being overworked?

Get casual! It’s Friday (and Game of Thrones inspired recipes!)
This has been a hectic week full of legal and various document translations, many language combinations and many different types of jobs.
