About Me

My photo
i am still becoming who i will eventually be. for now i am a reader, a wisher, an amateur in many things, and a wayfarer (at least in my mind)

ello gypsy!


my new fave swim suit...i may or may not have broken it...but it will be fixed and worn much next summer.


some of my faaaavorite shorts from this summer--plaid, loose, and perfect. also, the necklace is a creation of my own, made from some suede thread, an old peacock feather earring and a heart-shaped charm. i wear this necklace everywhere with everything (almost).


a shift dress i bough a few summers back that is amazingly vintage looking in its shape and print. also, some amazing vintage blue wedge heels (which you've seen in a previous post) that i absolutely adore. (and of course, my ever-present--so it seems anyway--denim vest).


some rather old outfit photos today/tonight. i am finding myself unable to sleep tonight.


going for more of a sailor-meets-army look with this outfit i wore to church one sunday. it was lovely.
a more recent photo from last week. this is my end-of-the-summer-but-how-i-wish-it-would-stick-around outfit. *sigh* i miss summertime already.




*i greet the dawn
to sleep
the deep sleep
of one
who sleep does not know
or acknowledge
it flits upon unknown
words
glancing off the
lashes
of i
who it cannot
lay victim to
and undoes in its
brief alightment
what has been so hard
wrought and never
accomplished*

good night! good morning! hope you slept tighter than i!

well, hai ther!





hello all!
it's been quite a long while since i've written, and for that, i am most sorry!

when i left you last, i was on my way off to michigan (which was amazingly loverly!), and i promised to post about my finds from a goodwill thrift shop stop.

i love old china; i suppose i am somewhat of a collector, and i found some beeea-u-ti-ful pieces at goodwill--my favorite being a dinner plate from bavaria.






also, i found the most wonderful pair of turquoise wedge sandals from the '80's. it was a good day.







on another note (and as you may have noticed already), i have had a big thing for wearing flowers in my hair this summer. it makes me feel light-hearted. and light-heartedness is priceless. i so much appreciate anything that helps me forget the doldrums and brings me into a better mindset. flowers in my hair, sun flares in my eyes, watermelon juice on my chin, flip flops on my feet...summer at it's best. one of my favorite summer songs right now is "all summer long" by kid rock. don't know why, but it makes me feel really good when i listen to it, so have a listen if you get a chance! summer is slipping away faster than i can keep up with, and part of me wishes it could go on forever, but as with everything, it must come to an end. change is inevitable. here comes fall.
