will dance

I'm sure most of you have already seen this,

but watch it again.

This is what life SHOULD be.

and because the for real version is just that good, that clip:

unfortunately, the quality for this one is really bad.

Now I think i'm in the mood to watch it...

Emma Watson

I have recently noticed this face:

Its Emma Watson, who has suddenly grown into a beautiful and classy young woman. I first took notice of her a few months ago, finding very striking editorials online:

And then I saw the girl had phenomenal red carpet style. Its perfect for her age, young and fun, but not silly and like so many young hollywoodians.

After she began modelling for Burberry, a design house of the highest level, I really began to love her:

However she did it, Emma sidestepped her foolish starlet companions and became an epitomy of grace. Her photos, both streetside and Vogue, are so fresh and smart!

And its not just show, Emma is currently enrolled in the prestigious Brown University. She takes moments away from her studies to actually go to the runway shows and watch. I think I love her!

Red Blazer Girl

This is me soon. Mismatching socks, magazines, an old hat and a cucumber salad. Come along, if you'd like.

I wanna be the one to walk in the sun..

and let us go Old School tonight, I'm quite in the mood.

further, let us go with an Old School CLASSIC which may never be topped in the history of girlyness.

Do enjoy.

And if you're not smiling by the time this is over, there is something wrong with you.

Its Alright, Its Okay

Everyone who knows me is aware that my absolute love is Zooey Deschanel. If I could switch bodies and personalities with anyone on the planet, I would choose her instantaneously.

and her voice!

Her speaking voice is so lovely, I think she got the message and began to develop her singing voice, too.

I know this isn't everyone's taste, but for me this is happiness wrapped up in 3 minutes and 5 seconds.

Monet. Maybe one of the most famous painters of all time, certainly the most famous impressionist.
But there's a reason why:




Reading about Monet, I see he was the ultimate perfectionist. He wanted to know and be able to do everything:
"The further I go, the sorrier I am about how little I know: it is this that bothers me the most."
and
"Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It's enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it"
He loved nature, adored nature. Gardens, seas, and flowers brought him the very most joy in life, it seems:
"I would like to paint the way a bird sings."
He obsessed over color, fantasized and dreamed about colors:
" You'll understand, I'm sure that I'm chasing the merest sliver of color. It's my own fault. I want to grasp the intangible. It's terrible how the light runs out. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes 3 or 4 minutes at most..."
And painted his beautiful nature with all his color knowlege constantly, never stopping between one painting and another, for hours and days at a time. Still, he was never satisfied:
"I know well enough in advance that you'll find my paintings perfect. I know that if they are exhibited they'll be a great success, but I couldn't be more indifferent to it since I know they are bad, I'm certain of it."

I feel like I know exactly what he's talking about in my own life...but Monet himself couldn't be more wrong. These pieces are absolutely gorgeous.
