Mara Hoffman Swim 2012

High waisted suits, 

mixing colors, mixing prints, 

corset tops, crop tops, 

neon, and printed silk 

all in one perfect collection.

I am having a lot of swim suit lust. 

"I hope that one day you will have the experience of doing something you do not understand 

for someone you love." 

(Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close)

Well, WILDFOX, you've done it again. 

Never before have I wanted to wear a swimsuit so badly.

Bring me that horizon.

I like it salt

run like a race for family

when you hear like you're alone

the rusty gears of morning

and faceless, busy phones

we gladly run in circles

but the shape we meant to make is gone

and love is a tired symphony

you hum when you're awake

and love is a crying baby

mama warned you not to shake

and love's the best sensation

hiding in the lion's mane

so i'll clear the road, the gravel

and the thornbush in your path

that burns a scented oil

that i'll drip into your bath

the water's there to warm you

and the earth is warmer when you laugh

and love is the scene i render

when you catch me wide awake

and love is the dream you enter

though i shake and shake and shake you

and love's the best endeavor

waiting in the lion's mane

Iron and Wine, Lions Mane

hearts and bones

(The Blonde Salad, Free People)

I can hear all the time that was lost in that room

drinking whiskey and wine

with nothing but time

and hearts

on our side

Like Lord of the Rings and all good fantasy, at some point, there's no more pretending to be done. The end shows up. The story is over. 

Bye for now, Magic. But you still get me through. 

"No story lives, unless someone wants to listen."-J.K. Rowling

This is how I feel

An ode to Brigitte Bardot: a forever icon,

"Do you have to have a reason for loving?" -B.B.

"You take a born-pretty girl and you dress her up in pretty things, curl her pretty hair and she becomes empty, vacuous. The only thing she can claim as a self identity is her one dimensional beauty. But take a pretty girl and throw some shit on her, and make her fight her way out of it and she'll grow to be other-worldy radiant and a force to be reckoned with."

-Beautiful and Depraved

(Taylor Momsen, My oh My, tumblr, etc.)

A daily dose, of things I love

She's mad, but she's magic. --Bukowski

(American Apparel, Romeo + Juliet, Pamela Love, amazing fur, amazing Bengal kitties, and sailor hats.)

These are a few of my favorite things: my new Millertime shirt, my flower crown, and this found poem.

Also, brown paper packages tied up in string..
