because i'm in london

So kiddies, I've been gone. For that, I'm sorry. But I have to admit, my brief Parisian life inspired me to write about as much as sitting in a Police Station would inspire a person to dance.

Contrarily, Paris inspired me to cry, scream, sleep and crumble all in the name of sheer happiness. I hadn't the time nor will to sit in front of my beloved MacBook and shed my usual shameless cliches, stock nouns and slack verbs.

I'm sitting in an overpriced lounge at a London train centre, waiting, writing and reflection on the week thats passed. I've found myself blind with euphoria and laughing so hard I was embarrassed, simply because I didn't know how else to deal.  I walked (although with a very experienced and sexy tour guide), through the areas in Paris that are worthy of happy tears.  I ate Paris food, I walked Paris streets, I lived a real Paris life, and now I'm gone. (Moment of silence please.)

And now I'm over it.

London has welcomed me with open, fish'n'chip filled arms.

I have photos, yes. But they're stuck in a camera with no way out. So for now you're left with photos from my MacBook's photo booth.

I'll make my exit on two notes, one is a photo of the first (terrible tasting and overpriced) meal I've had in London.

The second is this:

There's an age old saying; "Yes a bird may love a fish, but where would they live?"

Apparently, they'd live in London.

Until next time,

bike love

For the past 2 years, my daydreams have always wandered into scenes of galavanting through Paris on a bicycle with a basket on. In the daydream, I'm wearing a full patterned skirt and a pair of white Keds, and everyone smiles as I ride past, because I'm reminding them how happy Paris can truly make a person. Oh, did I mention that there is a giant baguette and a bouquet of flowers sticking out of the basket? No, I do not have too much time on my hands.. 

10 days.

To Be Adored

Oh, Did you think I was abandoning you again? Let me tell you, dear readers, that my love for fashion will always outweigh my love for all things pretty.. and thats sayin' something.  To Be Adored is my latest fav, specializing in silky, flowing fabrics and my ever-adored vintage feel. 

Found this photo story on Here Comes The Sun.. and decided that I will now post every single thing that makes me spontaneously break out in a smile. 

TBA has a facebook page, so if you want to snag any of their Beatrix Potter-esque clothing, just add them. 

Oh La La..

Una Bella Vita







{Crazy.Sexy.Grayscale}

Just 'cause I liked it so much the last time..

Aren't these photos tremendously beautiful? I find things this beautiful painful to look at sometimes. Its like looking at something that has accidentally become divine, and doesn't know it. Embrace and savour them..
