"Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once."

Audrey Hepburn

a little quote of the day...

i have very little to say about today...
just one of those....
ticking by...

but then i saw this and it made me so happy

"Accept the things you cannot change, change the ones you can, and be sure you know the difference."

On Beauty...

i've been lying in the sun today, taking the opportunity to read my new purchase

Stella Magazine
A beautiful style/ lifestyle/ fashion publication from copenhagen. Its pocket sized and full of beautiful images. PlUS  wonderful blog too! This issue is all about beauty and what it is?



So under a tree in primrose hill, while having not such a nice time...i contemplated what i thought beauty truly was...

Beauty ( a definition) by coco


(noun) is not perfect. It is imperfection, modesty and acceptance of who we are.

the most beautiful things to me
bird song at dawn
mascarara stained tears
the ability to dream
+
a perfect sorry

sometimes i swear....

          ...i'm a holly Golightly in the making

            
(i even have the exact eyemask)

                         Quote of the day 

 "...I' M FAT AS A PIG, AND I HAVEN'T HAD MY HAIR DONE, BUT I'M HAPPY, REALLY HAPPY. ..."

Breakfast at Tiffany's (my favourite film. No matter how many times i watch it i still get so happy, perfect for lazy days, sick days, sad days ....and simply days to be inspired )It is a classic, perfect mix of style and heart but cleverly not too girly or in any way sickly sweet. I am also a great fan of the book, be warned the book is gritty and darker (better) but the ending slightly bitter to taste.

(ive had a truly lovely day and this is exactly how i feel right now)

for the love of anthropogie

i often feel like i was born a 30 year old house wife. I am quite ashamed how giddy i get simply walking into anthropolgie. Let alone when i unwrap a small package and delicately place food like art in it.
       




I often think that i get in such a daze in anthropologie that one day i'll wake up to find security dragging me out after curling up in their gorgeous bed linen x

i crossed the street just to view this
i love window displays and spends my life researching through my eyes
well i suppose it worked...

its not been good today so the words appeared as if by magic just to bring a little joy 

i wish we could all live like this
i wish for many things
but this would be enough

todays quote: a summary of how every day should begin and end

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

Mary Oliver

The Summer Day

i am proud of my photography if anything, it has been a blessing to record when you have no words to say.

bloom


todays's simple pleasure
a posy i brought from Liberty
it smells quite divine and brings a little smile to a day filled with both sunshine and showers
