even cowgirls get the blues









wildfox's latest collection and shoot epitomises everything I love about cowgirls. PLUS it reminds me of Badlands and this book that I can't quite remember about an orphan who took up a life of crime and misconduct when she found a magic lace dress and some badass guns.

bad girls go like this...




my dream birthday would be like this 

but with more alcohol and flowers. 


This house is so beautiful it makes my heart ache. 
I wish I could move there right away! 

I would play hide and seek in the snow and make hot chocolate for breakfast and eat soup every single day. Plus I would probably take up some creative pursuit for example watercolour painting or photography to justify living somewhere so utterly beautiful!

during christmas last year r and i explored paris together. for nearly three weeks we lived in a tiny, cosy apartment right in the heart of the city and everyday we got up together and walked the beautiful streets till we were exhausted. in the mornings when r was sleeping i watched the snowflakes dancing and i felt so lucky. there is so much newness in the world just waiting to be explored and i can't wait for us to see it all. 
i wish my life was a bit more like this -- 

january: 


...
what i do is often not much more than an exercise in mundanity
listen to talking heads and big deal and m83 on repeat
write rude things in the frost on my bedroom window
smoke far more than one should
drink more coffee than one should
work late then walk home and its usually freezing
read oscar wilde in the bathtub
sleep under the eleven blankets covering my bed
hear my chest lift and drop...
...and listen to it on repeat




Today's great ETSY finds...

Fairy White Soft Chiffon Bridal Camisole

I'd happily pair it with a flower garland to go visit the wildflowers... it might be meant  for brides but this light as a dream camisole could be worn all sumer long. 




SACAGAWEA CARRYALL

This is the kind of bag that I dream about when I'm not busy thinking about food. 
Numero 1. it's peach (my favourite uber girly colour), 2. it has cool, straps that
could possibly be fetish-ish if seen in the wrong light and 3. it seems pretty
practical for uni and whatnot.

"Trip waited for the applause to peak before he spoke again. The he said, "First I'm going to come over and watch the tube at your house. This Sunday. Then I'm going to ask you out." Again he waited for her to speak, but the only sign she'd heard came from her hand which, turning palm up, suggested he could do what he liked. Trip stood up to go, but before doing so leaned over the back of his vacated seat as the words he'd been keeping down for weeks came pouring out. 
"you're a stone fox," he said, and took off."

-The Virgin Suicides, Jeffrey Eugenides 

je t'adore. 


This is dreamy. Exactly what I want to do next year...

I'm holding out for summer road trips.
