lovely

[dear followers who have stuck around even though ive faded so often these past few days]

the weather is in its transition stage where its not entirely sure if it should be summer or autumn- the best season of the year- which provides a problem for dressing. but, that said, the past week has had some pretty amazing evenings. and nights. [i shouldknow, the earliest bedtime ive had this week was 1am]

in addition to late nights and early mornings my life has been filled with picnics, sunsets, letters, long conversations and longer goodbyes, tea, avenues at night, surprises, happy noises, new smells, pretty smells,

stars, chocolate eggs, hot chocolate, a failed probation day, things that have worked out in the end, awkward silences, happy sliences, pizza, sand in everything, admiration, dusk [and a general euphoric feeling]

i also pretty much owned valentines day when i made 2batches of red velvet cupcakes. without sounding too arrogant. theyre pretty much the best cupcakes ive ever tasted.

[a thought for the week]

yay* evening market time with C. come to me you amazing chocolate crepes.

lovely stories #2

These are the kind of girls who hang dream catchers above their beds, who eat pomegranates and read old history books for fun. These are the kind of girls who take pictures of their hands with disposable cameras and wallpaper their bathrooms with pretty roses.



These girls sketch eyes and mouths and little drawings all over things, they look you right in the eye and almost through you when you speak to them.


These girls camp out in their backyards for fun, they light candles everywhere, and if you visit them at home they usually have all sorts of animals. Their wardrobes are filled with silk robes and bows and hats, they drink tall glasses of milk and snack on chocolate while they watch the sun rise.


These are the kind of girls who ride bikes through the city to the cinema that plays old movies in the middle of the day. They watch "Breakfast at Tiffanys" or "Rosemarys baby." These are the kind of girls who are quiet in public.

[scarlett johansson for mango summer 2010]

"The night was clear and frosty, all ebony of shadow and silver of snowy slope; big stars were shining over the silent fields; here and there the dark pointed firs stood up with snow powdering their branches and the wind whistling through them." - L.M Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables)

have a lovely english day :)

close your eyes and think of me

dear bestfriend,
you remind me of happy-silliness,

and love letters*

and beautiful eyes (behind sexy glasses)

and the most indulgent chocolate

... and sleepovers, where sleep never happens

, and millions of bracelets, and nailpolish

... and effortless beauty

and the smell of freshly-baked vanilla cookies*

and dancing :)

... and pinky promises

and the beach, in the middle of summer

and of america (p.s. i havent forgotten our road trip)

and the sugar rush you get when you have icecream and sprinkles

and of princess ballerinas

and beautiful shoes*

and the intoxicating smell of roses

and this song;
When your down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.

and you remind me of old books*

... and the rays of sun that light up a room on a winters day

and the excitement of being a child

... and, well, cupcakes. obviously :)

p.s i hope you feel better
