Soooooooo

summer is coming to an end and chilly fall is taunting us.
ive been slowly going through my wardrobe, packing away summer goodness and evaluating what i need for the fall and winter seasons. 
just purchased the most amazing boots and i cant wait to showcase them with a big chunky sweater and this amazing creme silk slip dress i just bought. my lover & i took a trip to Brimfield Antique Show and there was so much amazingness to feast my eyes on that by the end of the day i was exhausted to say the least.
we went home to cuddle, munch on some fish tacos and watch Almost Famous.

Been thinking a lot lately of how peaceful life has been. Its amazing what a little re-evaluating in life can do.  Ive learned over the years and in my profession that there are just some people who will always bring toxicity and negative energy with them where-ever they go. im a firm believer that it takes far more energy to be angry than happy and only WE are in control of our own happiness.  ive learned to rid my life and my surroundings of negative energy and those who create it and thrive on it.
the older i get, the more finite i realize life to be and i want to live it happy and fulfilled, doing what i can to better the world around me. im lucky to have a profession that provides that for others who are less fortunate than myself.
LIVE AND LEARN my sweets, until next time.

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

long lost.

hi everyone who is still checking in... to those followers who will be updated.
im so sorry that it has been so very long since ive posted to this silly ole blog.
ive been distracted, distracted by love and life. arent we all i assume??

these days ive come to realize that the place i have been calling "home" for almost 6years truly is not and has never been home to me. ive made countless valuable connections with people while living here but this place has never fully stimulated me. i need more, more art, more creativity, more drive, ambition, more variety.

as ive been saying for some time now, im planning to move...question is where. i spend a lot of time in nyc visiting with various friends who have migrated from here to there. i love nyc, it energizes me, stimulates me and i feel surrounded by like minded people most of the time. my heart truly belongs to summer tho, which is why ive also contemplated the warmer climate of LA, echo park/silver lake areas. ive visited there once and fell in love. the weather, the culture, the food, the vintage, the venues, the mexican hipsters. all something to see and all things i could definitely surround myself with feeling content for quite some time.

i need to make my moves.
for now, i leave u darlings with some fashion photos ive been compiling over the months during my absence............

be kind, be humble and be compassionate. these things will get you far.
