pre,view



   A little pre-view of some photos Lulu and I took while taking a night walk near her home. I put together a couple outfits to entertain myself while Lu did chores, and after dying our hair, we decided to throw them on and snap a few pictures while getting some fresh air.    More photos to come...

only to come back as pure as gold




           



Summer is winding down. The mornings lately have been long and grey, the blue skies hidden beneath a blanket of thick and swirling pewter; only to burn off and reveal the brightest and hottest afternoons in a while. I've been working/crafting in my room all day-making some amazing new tops (stay tuned!), hanging up pictures, and re-doing my inspiration board while mindlessly singing along to an Angels and Airwaves play list. Sometimes I lose track of time, and I just sit and watch the light in my room change from dim and cold to golden and glowing. I imagine future adventures in my mind and play them out like a movie. I fall asleep to the sound of the wind in the Palms and my own hushed breathing. August evenings are so peaceful and still, I've been taking photos of the skyline as the sun hangs just above the ocean each day. I've always had this impulse to document each small memory and moment in time, because then you have it to hold onto forever. I am what I like to call a 'memory hoarder'. I save every note, birthday card, drawing, movie ticket, fortune, receipt, and random scrap that may hold any bit of sentimental value; and when it comes to clearing out the collection, I have a very hard time parting with even the smallest or seemingly unimportant item. I'm just weird that way. Here I go losing track of time again. Only have an hour to eat and get ready before nannying tonight, so I better get to it. Hope everyone has a fun and safe Friday night! I'll be watching Disney and playing dress up, oh hellz yeah.

when you leave me, you take away everything

e-bayed sunnies, DIY crystal necklace, F21 sandals)

Sitting in my room listening to early afternoon noises through my open window. My mind is blank, my head hurts, and my cup of tea is nearly empty. I want to run out my front door and keep running until I feel like I've escaped all the frustrations that are tugging at my happiness. Life is so short, and sometimes I get angry when other people waste time that could be spent doing anything and everything caught up in the past and dragging others down with them. Not to say I've never done this myself, we've all been guilty of it at some point. I've been spending too many nights caught up deep in thought. Thinking of my past, present, and future. What I want vs. what I need..do any of us really know what we need? I just want a full life. To create, to smile each day, to be a good person. Don't really know what I'm going on about right now, so bare with me. I guess it's just one of those days. I lost my voice a couple of days a go. It was so frustrating to feel as if I couldn't communicate or be heard-in the literal sense. I think we all at times feel like we can't quite express what we're feeling or thinking inside in a compilation of words. Feelings are too complex to sum up that easily. Especially when you're like me, and your emotions run wild and get the best of you. I used to hate that about myself, but over time, I've started to realize that I'd much rather be full of emotion and thought
than an empty shell of a person.

It's beautiful outside, I think I'm going to take a walk.
Sunshine and fresh air is exactly what I need.
