less talk, more photos.

it's that time of the year again..

I don't quite know how to describe the way I have been feeling the last couple of days.  I've felt a bit blah, apathetic even.  Anyway, I stumbled across this photograph the other day and it reminded me of some of the benefits of quartz crystal.  A couple years ago I read about the use of quartz crystal to ward off psychic vampires--the negative energies that surround a person which brings them down in various ways.  I know this sounds totally hokey but upon reading this, I immediately went out and found myself a quartz crystal necklace to help me overcome this less than wonderful point in my life.  Anyway, things sorted themselves out soon after and I often attribute this positive turn of events to my quartz necklace.  This necklace has since run away from me and I cannot seem to place where it is hiding.  Anyway, since I have been going on and on about this I have decided that I must go out and get myself a new quartz necklace to spice things up in my life.  You should all get one too.

Neverland

Stars are beautiful, but they may not take an active part in anything, they must just look on for ever. It is a punishment put on them for something they did so long ago that no star now knows what it was. So the older ones have become glassy-eyed and seldom speak (winking is the star language), but the little ones still wonder. They are not really friendly to Peter, who has a mischievous way of stealing up behind them and trying to blow them out; but they are so fond of fun that they were on his side to-night, and anxious to get the grown ups out of the way.

my blog needs love and attention

I've been really bad at posting lately.  Sorry. I haven't been able to bring myself to sit in front of a computer screen for more than a couple minutes at a time the last couple of days.  Not to mention, my internet has been failing miserably.  On a happier note, this editorial by Arthur Elgort from 1991 is one of the silliest that I have ever come across!  Besides my love of gingers, these shots bring a smile to my face because the energy is just so fun. Enjoy.

layered looks

It has been really chilly here lately!  This weather has been getting me thinking about fun new ways to layer my everyday looks.  I thought this outfit was a cutie:

vintage vacations

One of my all time favorite blogs is See Emily Play.  Created by Emily Dahl, this blog depicts the beauty of Stockholm in a way that keeps me obsessing.  One of my favorite reoccurring posts by Emily are the photos she shares of her trips with her boyfriend to the Fårö islands.  I love the way she photographs this place that appears to be so abandoned. These images have such a lovely vintage vibe that feels frozen in time.  Not to mention I wouldn't mind weekending with my honey in such an unconventional, strangely romantic place.

a treat

It has been far too long since my last black and white post and for that I sincerely apologize.  Enjoy these sexy black and white snapshots.  They'll make you feel lovely.
