mallory and phoenix

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

phoenix is the name of this adorable pupster, but here in france it is pronounced feh-neex. he is the dog of my host family, and he used to be a show dog. now he spends most of his time rolling around in straw and nudging people for pets. this week has been BEAUTIFUL in bordeaux, temperatures in the mid to high 60s, meaning i have spent the afternoons basking in the sun with pheonix, who is an expert basker (aka sleeps on the warm cement).

hope other people are having as beautiful weather as i am! (i know whitney is not, she has already complained to me this week hehe).

oh, and in case you haven't noticed, i'm slightly obsessed with stripes. and elbow pads. making this sweater the perfect storm. i wish i could personally thank HM for creating this beauty!

  9. You are in France? I AM SO JEALOUS! I have been wanting to go on an exchange to France for years! I'm a 2nd year Uni student so there's still hope for me but... gah. Life is so hard when you don't have a lot of money :(

    Anyway, that dog is so cute! And those elbow pad things on your top are so quirky, very cute. You look cute!
