spotted: split pea boots.
i’ve had my eye on the black ones for quite some time, but there’s something strangely awesome about the pea green hunter boots. chartreuse is one of my favorite colors to begin with, and i think these would look really cute with a plain black t-shirt and jeans. welcome to my wishpot, pea green hunter boots. hope to see you on my feet soon. mood music: ryan adams - city...
ode to lily.
dearest lily, when i came across these photos of you, i was caught speechless. i almost forgot about you for a second there! you haven’t been involved in any drunken tirades or celebrity-bashing in the press lately (not in america anyway), and it makes me miss you very much. remember that song you wrote about your grandma? that nutty old slag! but back to the point: you look gorgeous,...
goodbye sorrow.
Goodbye Sorrow from Katie Armstrong on Vimeo. always hated this song until i heard it like this. (via for me, for you)
girlcrush series vol. 6: predictably...
i know kristina through mutual friends, and have only hung out with her a handful of times. basic requirements for any good girl crush, i guess. when i facebooked her to ask if she would answer my girlcrush questions, i had no idea if she had ever read my blog or even remembered who i was, but to my delight, she has, and does! the few times kristina and i have been in the same place, we were...

better days.
pc: dace i normally hate when magazines and blogs refer to things as parisian chic, but can’t really think of any other way to describe this canadian line, dace. i am loving everything about it. and of course, i want to be the girl in the video.

joy in repetition.
pc: poppytalk anything i’ve ever wanted, i’ve gotten. anything i’ve ever wanted to do, i’ve done. i wanted to go to fidm; i went to fidm. i wanted to get a job in an apparel showroom, and i did. i always wanted to have a cute apartment in venice beach, and i got it. i wanted a little dog that i could snuggle with and sit outside with at coffee shops, and i got that...

no matter how sweet, no matter how brave.
pc: runaway gallery ”this is how it works: you’re young until you’re not, you love until you don’t, you try until you can’t, you laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh, and everyone must breathe, until their dying breath. this is how it works: you peer inside yourself, you take the things you like, and try to love the things you took, and then you take that...

subterfuge.
pc: summer teeth i noticed that i haven’t written much about my feelings in a while. it hasn’t been intentional; i guess i just haven’t had too much going on, or that i felt the need to blog about at least. i usually go pretty long periods feeling the same way. when i’m stressed out, or worried about something, it tends to last for a while, until i find the wherewithal to...

twenty ten.
pc: ffffound “go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. as far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. if you compare yourself with...
