Anouk

Loving these looks from Anouk. They can be found here. Total 90's flashback! I especially want those cream laced shorts!

Love is what it comes down to

Ok. The royal wedding. Way too publicized and such a media craze. We kind of get lost in the glitz and glamour, what Kate is wearing (I have to admit, I couldn't wait to see!), the decoration, the Queen's arrival, the ring, and we forget what this wedding actual is: two souls joining with the commonality of love. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a private ceremony somewhere else, I think it would be a bummer to have my only wedding on full display for the world to judge. So here is to the beautiful couple, may they live happily ever after.

p.s. Beautiful choice of gown by Kate. She looks gorgeous and it was awesome of her to pay homage to the late great Alexander McQueen. My favorite picture is the last one, her sister Pippa look genuinely happy for Kate, brings a tear to my eye.
p.s.s. how stylin to the Beck's look, love love love Victoria's hat by Philip Treacy.

Hiking!

This morning Willow and I took a long and peaceful hike up the royal arch trail around Chautauqua park. It's been a beautiful day and I knew spending it outside with my boo, enjoying my natural surroundings and listening to Enya on the iPod is the only way to do it. Very nice- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

putain de parfum

One thing I have always loved is perfume. I grew up with a mother who despised scents in laundry detergent, perfume, soap, etc. She enjoyed the smell of the outdoors and hated when chemicals tried to imitate it. So I was sheltered from scents. As soon as I could I bought my own perfume which was Amor Amor by Cacharel, and I have been hooked on perfumes ever since. Above is about 3/4 of my collection of perfumes, the rest is in my bra drawer. I don't have a signature scent (how boring!) I like to switch it up everyday! My three favorite perfumes that I own right now are Crystal Noir by Versace, Chloé by Chloé, and Rose the One by Dolce and Gabbana. Each one is very different from the other, but most have floral tones. I used to be a fruity tone kind of girl, but my nose, like the rest of me since I was 15, has matured (not to say fruity can't be fabulous!) Others include: Hanae Mori, Princess by Vera Wang, Brit by Burberry, Miss Dior Cheri by Dior. All wonderful in their own ways.

Its just one of them days. Going through a time in my life where I can't be just ignore how I feel about certain things. College is amazing at first, but the last years are exhausting and become so routine. I'm not sure what can get me through this time, but expressing myself to total strangers is a way to let it out a little bit.
love always

the ring

Quite possibly the most epic ring I have ever seen. By Luis Morias seen here
