My days are longer without...

 

you in my life, Chanel Classic Q-bag :(

(via weheartit)

Speaking of long days, my summer has been anything but a breeze! Running errands and juggling two internships aren't the most relaxing sports, and my hair is begining to become representative of my tiring days! Every day, I just throw it up in a high bun...must find inspiration!

The Grand Dream: Life

Today I was so deliriously tired that I threw the laundry in the dryer even though it wasn't washed. Epic housekeeping fail :(

This is just really cute :]

 I saw a good friend today for the first time since college ended. And now, I think of anything but the sea.

Nobody wants a piece of this collection as much as I do. I'm sure of it! :(

Give me my cliche summer:

My life has become consumed by finals and school:

I live in the dark. I'm craving sweet watermelon right now & the warmth of the norcal sun...:(

Pearls on my mind, everything else on the back burner:

(all via weheartit)

Chanel N°5, gorgeous pearls, spring nail candies, and of course, scrumptious cakes for the taking! The sunshine outside my window is plentiful and the socal air feels so crisp and clean...I can already tell today is going to be wonderful! :)

Good bye to my Santa Monica dream,

Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream

Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine

You tell me stories of the sea

And the ones you left behind

Goodbye to the roses on your street

Goodbye to the paintings on your wall

Goodbye to the children we'll never meet

And the ones we left behind.
-"Santa Monica Dream," Angus & Julia Stone 

Absolutely one of the worst Angus & Julia Stone songs I know. But it still makes me want to cry every time.

SIlence Amidst the Noise:

My life has been quite hectic lately! Makes you really appreciate those few moments where you can just sit and take in everything...

I need to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's! I saw a  clip the other day and haven't been able to get it off my mind since :)

I just want to break you down so badly:

"I just want to break you down so badly,
While I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way."

-Make Damn Sure, Taking Back Sunday

My music taste is fluctuating towards dark punk bands...but then again, I'm hooked on Civilization by Justice. There's really no regression equation to properly predict what's going to play on my iPod next :) Hey, not to bore you with the extraneous details of my day, but I had henna/mhendi done on my hands today! Although the idea of being Indian carries negative connotations (for me at least), I have to admit that the traditions that surround my age-old culture are too beautiful for words:

 It's supposed to get super dark overnight!

My Cannon gets friendly with my webcam.

 

I don't care if I really get married or not. I must have golden-lined mhendi done once! :)

"Night, Night," I recite into this mic:

Dreamy, gothic-inspired architecture and  beautiful dresses will be on my mind all day!
