Exquisite

“I will love you as we grow older, which has just happened, and has happened again, and happened several days ago, continuously, and then several years before that, and will continue to happen as the spinning hands of every clock and the flipping pages of every calendar mark the passage of time, except for the clocks that people have forgotten to wind and the calendars that people have forgotten to place in a highly visible area. I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where once we were so close that we could slip the curved straw, and the long, slender spoon, between our lips and fingers respectively. I will love you until the chances of us running into one another slip from skim to zero, and until your face is fogged by distant memory, and your memory faced by distant fog, and your fog memorized by a distant face, and your distance distanced by the memorized memory of a foggy fog.” ~The Beatrice Letters by Lemony Snicket

“But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.” Khalil Gibran

I heart Fall

1. The sun in my eyes
2. The whispering winds
3. The chill in the air that makes me yearn for those seemingly never ending summer days, or better yet eagerly await the frosty winter months where I will be snuggling up with my hot chocolate
3. The crunch of the leaves below my feet
4. The leaves are so vivacious OH EM JEE

5. Halloween
6. Thanksgiving
7. Pumpkin muffins at starbucks - DIVINE
8. Pumpkin pie & pumpkin spice lattes
9. Frightfest everything
10. THESE GORGEOUS BOOTS

Jessica Simpson Beatricy $139

Michael Kors- Cyrah $395...LOVE it

Favorite: Ralph Lauren Laveda $249. These brown boots are soooo perfect for the fall

Madden Girl $79.95

Emmy fashion. The reddish hue's are a great complement to the season change- close out the summer and embark upon fall. So romantic and feminine and fiesty all at once. Nothing like the confidence a woman exudes in a red dress.

My favorite... Nina Dobrev in a Donna Karan gown

Kerry Washington in Zuhair Murad

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang. And this woman is simply gorgeous

Lea Michele in Marchesa

Sofia Hyland in Christian Siriano

"A distinct schism.
The angst bubbles through perpetually widening crevices.
Desistance of torment
Emancipate my soul
Elated exuberance, bliss, its my prerogative.
Alas, a delirium of euphoria"

"With you, I am me.
And you are my greatest blessing."

Contemplative...

I am <3'ing

1. NARS blush in orgasm - $25. This is more of a sweetheart pink shade so it complements most skin tones. Blending is really easy because of the consistency of the powder. That being said, it isnt a loose powder and doesn't mask the cheek with a superficial chalky appearance. The gold speckles are FABULOUS, and add an impeccable luminosity better than any other highlighter-only product I have tried. One sweep with a large kabuki brush or blush brush is just enough. It is quite pigemented, yet sheer enough not the stain the cheek with clown-like streaks.

2. Koi Koi Sushi
Firstly, the lunch prices are UNBEATABLE. For this platter of 6 maki rolls of salmon, california and spicy tuna, a total of $9.50!
Secondly, if you know remotely anything about me, I am hardly picky about anything especially concerning food. If it looks edible I will try it! My one exception is with sushi. I need it to taste fresh. My rare, and highly-out-of-the-ordinary sense of particularity sprints into full gear like Usain Bolt. I have had salmonella food poisoning from raw fish before, and I dont plan on ever spending another 24 hours cuddling with the porcelain bowl puking bile and carbonated gingerale.
That being said....this sushi is really palatable and almost sea-caught fresh :)

3. Viva La Juicy
Love love love

4. High waist, wide leg pants
Just bought a pair from H&M around the $50 range, what a steal for this classy style. These pants are romantic and such a fashion wonder. Loving this new trend.

The Limited: $75

The Limited: $98

Hugo Boss: $295

5. My dad :)
My dad is phenomenal despite all of his quirks, rather in spite of his quirks. My friends are a testament to how awkward he is!!! SERIOUSLY. I love him regardless. I feel treasured, he kept my art work from 6th grade and framed it!

Nothing has killed me yet. Not even you

"I wrote this for you"

When you have taken all that you can from me. Give me back

From me.

So Magical

Restaurant highlight
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending an intimate wedding ceremony at the Morrison House in Alexandria Virginia. This desert was decadent and WONDERMOUS! The brownie was moist and warm, and filled with a chocolatey center. Fresh cream, powdered sugar and fruit made it feel like a different bite each time. WOW I can't even begin to explain how well the textures and flavors amalgamated with each other to ooze out a little taste of heaven. It was magical...

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” ~Roald Dahl

There's a gene that predisposes laziness... absolutely fascinating

"Feel my love feel my soul, Its so magical...
We are one, the moon and the sun"
