Sunday secrets

This weeks secrets i may have written and sent in in my sleep, just kidding! it's comforting to know that someone out there somewhere is feeling exactly like you. :)



i'm all moved in and trying to get things sorted (slow process). the preparation for the 30 for 30 remix is making me attack my closet first; which is good. i just donated two bags of clothes to the salvation army before i moved and i think i can donate another one; where do all these clothes come from! nonetheless it will be wonderful to take a break from shopping for a month. ok, i've got a glass of wine to finish and another box to unpack before this night comes to a close. have a good night!

quote of the week


I'm currently in the process of taking every mistake as a lesson and moving on -- life is too short to have too many regrets :)

gotta love the uk

Oh, ASOS I believe this is going to be a start of a beautiful relationship.  Sadly, i promised myself, god and my bank account that i would not shop for any clothing until i move, get situated and complete a 30 for 30. However picking out thirty items to wear isn't as easy as Kendi makes it look. Maybe these few sale items will be perfect to go in my 30 for 30 remix.




Clearly these pieces will be the easiest things to mix! just look at the pink dress! i can think of.... two ways to wear it.... i might have to rethink this. Nonetheless i'm getting all packed up, donating old clothes and looking forward to beginning remixing.

JEWELMINT

I'm currently addicted to cute nicely priced slightly gaudy jewelry and if not gaudy then i make sure to put on far more pieces then needed. I like to jingle when i walk :)

Lucky for me i'm also subscribe to way more magazines then needed and can usually find good deals that way. I ordered this adorable bracelet for a friend and these rings for myself.




I'm usually not the type of person who likes to sign up for monthly (designs in mail) things. Where some designer pics a piece for you each month and you just have to deal with their choice; even if you dislike it. However, if these pieces end up being as charming in person as they are in the magazine i just might sign up. 

you should check out some of the designs for yourself  at JEWELMINT

I must go on standing

You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Sunday Secret

Sadly i was not feeling connected to any of the secrets revealed today on Postsecret. Don't worry i archive favorites!

Although i have been in the best  mood for some time now; i still have been feeling exactly like this secret.


Instead of getting sad about this; i decided to show a little love to my favorite television couples of all time. I distinctly remember watching all these shows and wanting these couples relationships, quirks and all.

Monica & Chandler / Friends


Alice & Dana / The L Word

Seth & Summer / The OC

Spencer & Ashley / South of Nowhere

Chris & Rita / Silk Stalkings



Just looking at this old school picture of silk stalkings makes me want to watch them right now; thank god for Netflix! I think I've planned out the rest of my night; you have a good one :)

just bought

recent purch
recent purch by TelaLately featuring flannel tops

I have actually had the boots for about two weeks now, i live in them! mine are actually a lighter tan which goes pretty nicely with that new purse i got for the new year!

pretty girls make graves

"All along you wanted to see me fail
I'd never suspect you
In the middle of the circle
Hiding your cover


Does this city have enough
Air for both of us to breathe?
If it was up to you one of us would leave
I'm telling you there's no way it would be me


So talk yourself till your blue in the face
Cause someone always wants to listen to hate
It's just too bad you're so easy to ignore


Does it hurt to force a smile to my face?
Does it burn to wish you were in another place?
I won't look to you anymore
So what are you saying tonight?"

i had the best day with you

20+ hours on the road, i passed more mile markers then i can remember and i still can't get that girl i don't know out of my mind. Laughing on the car ride with my bff, embarrassingly relaying the drunken texts i should have never sent (from memory of course, you just can't keep that stuff on file). And a lesson was learned.

I met and surrounded myself with some amazing people. I wrote countless words into various notebooks that i pray i will do something real with. I pictured life with a whole new group to love. i pictured life with the same group i just had six months ago, all of us intact. i missed and cried for him more then once; which is something i imagine i will be doing for a lifetime.
loved and missed everyday
i picked up two books for 2011 and i am almost finished with my full list of books i have read in 2010 (post to come). I finally found the perfect planner so 2011 can actually begin. Now that i feel my head is in a much better place, i am very much looking forward to it. I had quite the productive trip :)

i'm takin a vacation i'll see you at the station


"nothing can stop the power of persistence."

Doesn't this just take you back to your high school counselors office?!, maybe it was just in my school but this lady had every motivational print in existence. Come to think of it, it was probably for protection  it was a bit of a rough school :)

quote of the week

"there is only so much misery you can allow yourself 
before some little part of you bounces back in rebellion"


i have been in bed for the better part of 2011, self loathing and pissing a large number of people in my life off. I couldn't tell you why, but what i do know is -- i'm sick of apologizing. 2011 will be the year of no apologies.

Postsecret


to few all of this Sunday's secrets go here.

Denali - Function

 watch it only I don't know

how to get a thing like you
I'm sold on your line
all nice and straight now
I'll tug on this end too long
something shut down on the way here
I don't know what it is
or what it has to do with me
talk to me but I will promise
something strange is coming down on me
and now it's already over
all this wasted time at being so good for you
and now it's already over

first goodies of the new year

Yesterday while i was attempting to pick out a planner/organizer at target, in preparation for  2011. I was very upset to not find one; i have three planner must haves:

  1. Must be hardbound or not have spiral exposed. 
  2. Must have Cute print that is NOT white (or it will instantly get dirty).
  3. Must have month view and week view both.
Simple! except i couldn't find one in the sea of target planners that fit the above descriptions. I got so upset i had to buy a new purse and wallet.  Usually i would feel bad for such an impulse purchase, but these gems together cost me less then twenty dollars! so i feel like i win. Unfortunately since i never ended up buying a planner i have no idea what i;m doing for the rest of 2011. Which sounds like a good  new years resolution to me, be more spontaneous :)
