Some shots from a beautiful day celebrating my brother's girlfriend's graduation at her home, Fourth of July happenings, and my sister's graduation dinner at one of my favorite restaurants; green tea ice cream and all. Oh, and no biggie, my sister's just a gypsy. She wears scarves as precariously wrapped tops in public with her ridiculously long mermaid braid that hangs past her butt like it ain't no thang. Glorious. Hope everyone had a fun and safe Fourth yesterday! I enjoyed sunshine, swimming, pink lemonade, and two simultaneous firework shows with my sister and best friend from the picture perfect spot- the balcony of a mansion on the bluffs. Passed out before 11:30 too, typical.

walking on the shore, water lapping over sandy toes, sun beaming on the small of your neck, smells of sunscreen and sticky ice cream. cool water soothing burnt skin, dive deep below the waves and feel the pull of currents above, hair and sea weed entwined. summer love and summer smiles, so many different faces, all happy for a moment's time. light up the barbecues, the smell of hot charcoal and hot dogs on the grill, rosy cheeks and explosions of color in a starry summer sky. excitement in the bright eyes of countless onlookers. sleepy heads and open windows, falling asleep to the sound of crickets and endless laughter in the thick and muggy air.

it's getting late, and I

(wearing: d.i.y. crop tank, vintage white sheer wrap, d.i.y. crystal necklace, d.i.y. high waisted cut offs, vintage booties, d.i.y. leopard print turban, misc. accessories)

cannot seem to find my way home tonight

  feels like I am falling down a rabbit hole

    falling for forever, wonderfully wandering alone

     what would my head be like

       if not for my shoulders
or without your smile

but follow you forever
may it never leave you
to sleep like a stone,             

may we stay     lost       on our way   h o m e


come on, come on,
with everything falling down around me,
I got to believe, in all the possibilities

  Posting these photos is LONNNG overdue. They were taken (weeks a go) before/during a Panic! at The Disco concert we (my mom, my sister Danaan, and I) took my youngest sister Fiona to for a belated Birthday gift. We had such a great time jumping around like fools and singing at the top of our lungs. Oh, and an added source of excitement and surprise was realizing during the first song played by one of the opening acts, Fun., that the lead singer just so happened to be former front man of my highschool obsession: The Format. I felt like an excited kidlet on Christmas morning. Notttt so great: getting elbowed/shoved/trampled by the insane crowd of pre-teen super fans. I actually think my mom got the worst of it; poor woman.

  Hope everyone is having an amazing pre Fourth of July weekend; I've been busy the past two days with starting a new job as a nanny/mother's helper for a family friend and her two girls. They are so sweet and fun, and the fact that my work entails hanging out in the sun and swimming at the beach with them isn't too shabby either. After waring myself out running around with the girls in the heat all day (you tend to forget how much energy you have as a child!) and then stuffing my face with delicious Japanese food from Ichibiris for my sister's Grad dinner; I'm on the verge of simultaneously exploding and passing out on my keyboard. More posts to share tomorrow!
