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:

 

All pictures from the Ida Sjöstedt S/S' 11 Collection.

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

New Spring Revival:

 I love open-slits on the back of blouses. Details! :)

 Anybody need a spot of color?

 Be calm. Casual and chic is back in style.

Don't you dream of sleeping in white cotton sheets every night...and every day for that matter? Today marks the third day I've woken up past 12 pm :)

I'm working on getting more of my ideas out onto paper. Perhaps I'll post some of my sketches soon? ;)

I can't deal anymore.

"Green eyes, I'd run away w/ you...Green eyes, cause I'm a fool. I try running away."

I wholeheartedly admire those who can define what makes them happy and pursue it until it's theirs. I'm no good at this game and it started to drain me on daily basis...shame on me, but is it wrong that all I want is to run away with a suitcase of organza gowns, sheer chiffon blouses, and a bottle of Miss Dior Cherie? :/

A private island would be too much to ask for obviously...but an escape is neccessary. I don't want this anymore, I'm sure of it. Pray for me.

Love me, love me,

 Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
you love me no longer, I know
and maybe there is nothing
that I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
that I ought just stick to another man
a man that surely deserves me
but I think you do!

So I cry, and I pray and I beg

Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
love me love me
pretend that you love me
lead me lead me
just say that you need me...

I'm in love with this woman.

But I want this.

You can take the back seat, baby.

 

You, my love, I save for the bedroom. Froyo hits home.

If you haven't noticed, the whole diet thing has got me on a fritz. I'm more hungrier than ever! D:
