uninspiration.

it's been a roller coaster of a week and a half.

i am pretty sure i have felt the happiest i have ever felt in my life,

and the saddest i have ever felt in my life all in this week.

trying to regain some normalcy.

at this moment i know i have a million things to be happy about,

but all i feel is sadness.

hopefully this feeling is fleeting like every other emotion i have felt lately.

i'm looking for permanent happiness,

but happiness is not a destination it is a mood, a journey.

fallen like a fool.

maybe its the way that the stars are aligned,

thats makin me feel this way tonight,

maybe its the words that you left unsaid,

maybe its the stardust in my head,

but i wanna tell ya,

that my heart is bustin at the seems,

i cant't wait another minute,

life is short,

love is sweet,

ain't no time like this time baby.

i can't hold out,

i can't back now,

like i've done before,

darling look at me,

i've fallen like a fool for you,

darling can't you see,

i'd do anything you want me to,

i tell myself i'm into deep,

then i fall a little farther,

every time you look at me.

against the rules.

what a week.  i feel like my life has been turned upside down.  it's all very bittersweet.  although the death of a family member is usually very sad, it does bring everyone together, which for my family doesn't happen enough.  i love my family more than anything else in this world and am so happy that i got to spend the last few days with them (minus a few who were very missed).  i am so incredibly grateful for the beautiful family i have been blessed with.  i would be no one and no where with out them.

back to reality for a few days.

i feel like a new chapter of my life has begun, for more reasons than one.  it has been a very weird/interesting week to say the least.  and although i am sad to say good bye to the previous, i feel like i haven't felt so happy, lucky and optimistic in a very long time.  i hope things continue to go down this path....

enjoying the sun.

i'm ready for summer.

i need coffee.

Wildfox Couture Spring 2011 collection

the whole thing is amazing.  Wildfox continues to inspire me in so many ways.

but this morning i thought these pictures were fitting.

late at night, after thinking too much all day, i start to think my dreams are all madness.  and that maybe i am crazy.

so i remind myself, "never let the odds keep you from pursuing what you know in your heart you were meant to do."

i'll always be a dreamer, and so i'll always listen to my heart...wherever it leads me.

goodnight.

it's been a very long time since i have said this about an artist: i LOVE every song.

she. is. amazing.

thank you little tar tar for introducing me to this british amazingness.

she even rocks Wildfox, an A+ in my book.

Black Swan. Natalie Portman. Mila Kunis.

so i have yet to post anything since the new year.  honestly i have been feeling completely uninspired.  new years always make you think about your life and where you want to be, where you want to go.  i am incredibly proud of the progress i made in 2010 but at the same time this isn't where i want to be.  anyway, i went to see Black Swan and i have to say it was probably the best movie i have ever seen.  i absolutely loved it and have become quite obsessed actually.  and not only w the movie but w Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, so here are some beautiful and to me, inspiring photos.
