If I love you...
...like lazy daydreams on summer afternoons
with slight breezes
and
paper butterflies sitting upon bare skin.
If you love me...
...like silent reveries
in forests of fairies
with
lantern-lit trees.
If we love each other...
...with the intimacy of dreamy kisses
atop mansard roofs
beneath endless starry night sky,
forever.
My words, photos from Elle, Matilda, tjasa, Nike, littlegirlblue, A Foto, nappkin, and Lina Scheynius.
First off, Sarah Hermans (the one I interviewed from this post) is now selling her first print. It's the 'Sisters' photo and is quite lovely. Check it out here. I'm thinking of getting it for myself...
But if you want it, there's only one, so you better hurry!!!
This is the one she's selling:
It's so beautiful. I would have never thought of that idea for a photo.
Also, you remember those Mary Jane shoes I wanted to buy? If not, refer back to this post (towards the end). I've finally decided to buy the strawberry ones because they were all sold out on the mustard color ones (with the square toe).
I love the floral pattern on the inside. How amazing is it to make your own shoes?
This is such an interesting tag. I love whoever was the creative mastermind behind this. And I haven't even heard of this tag until now, which makes it even more special.
With as much creativity as you can muster, show your heart in:
1 picture
1 poem
1 song or piece of music
1 phrase or quote
1 item of clothing
1 place
1 Disney princess

A quiet little girl with Peter Pan syndrome. Surrealism rules her world, as does naivety and logic. Sometimes she feels much older for her age, sometimes she feels too much romance. And it hurts her heart...She can feel her heart palpitating and throbbing when she looks at the sweetest, most innocent couples, like this:
She enjoys reading poetry, especially deep, dark, emotional poetry. She thinks it's quite beautiful. Some people people would call this type of poetry depressing...She's not quite sure if that makes her depressing or not...
"Suppose
Life is an old man carrying flowers on his head.
Young death sits in a cafe
Smiling, a piece of money held between
His thumb and first finger
(I say "will he buy flowers" to you
And "Death is young
Life wears velour trousers
Life totters, life has a beard."
I say to you who are silent,
"Do you see Life? He is there and here,
Or that, or this
Or nothing or an old man three thirds
Asleep, on his head
Flowers, always crying
To nobody something about les
Roses les bluets
Yes, will He buy?
Les belles bottes-oh hear,
pas cheres")
And my love slowly answered I think so, but
I think I see someone else there is a lady, whose name is Afterwards
She is sitting beside young death, is slender;
Likes flowers."
~E.E. Cummings
She is also in love with this song.
She thinks these lyrics from the song are some of the most beautiful words she has ever heard:
"Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you."
She thinks this quote by Jack Keruoac is the most powerful, meaningful quote ever:
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."
~Jack Keruoac
Her heart is coveting...
...this entire outfit by Makool, which will actually be arriving at her door soon.
On occasion, she feels restless, like her heart is yearning to fly to some unknown land, some place like this:
where her soul is free of any responsibilities and she can run around in a white flapper dress and metallic silver tights, resembling that of a fairy.
She thinks she would best fit Alice, from Alice in Wonderland. She also thinks Tim Burton picked the best person in the world for the role of Alice in the new Alice in Wonderland he is filming for Disney.
Now that she's all wrapped up with Alice in Wonderland, she will now write her favorite quote from the book, which also happens to be on her sidebar:
"My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that."
She's going to tag these precious bloggers:
Also, I have recently discovered Frieda Maria, a Dutch designer. Her clothes are so amazing, I'm inspired to write a sappy fan letter:
(this photo kind of reminds me of Matilda Irene Linnea)
My dearest Frieda Maria, I love you so much. You probably don't understand this letter because you don't speak English and I don't speak Dutch, but that doesn't matter. I didn't understand a word on your website, but your pictures speak for themselves. I am head over heels in love with the photography. I'm actually quite woozy from staring at such beauty for so long. Will you please be mine?
Your new obsessive fan,
Micaela
How beautiful are the last two shots?
I've been considering joining the Scribble Project Club, but I'm not sure if I'll have the time.
The idea is very interesting, though. Have you guys heard of it? It's this club started by Lisa Currie. Are any of you guys part of it already?
I have received an award from Aubrey (who also happens to share the name of my dog)
Thanks to all you lovely bloggers who lifted my uninspired spirits by your sweet comments. I'm feeling much more inspired now. It was just a phase of no inspiration, and I am pretty much back to normal now. I think I'm just being too selective and my perfectionist tendency is kicking in, leaving me frustrated when a blog post isn't as perfect as I want it to be. Hopefully you like this one better. I do.
I've decided to keep the new song I have playing on here since most of you said that it was a nice change and you were getting a little bored of the other song.
How was your weekend? I had nice weather...spring is fast approaching (next week I believe)
and I am super excited!
