I like what i see


i am very much a beach-sun tanning-palm tree-cold beer-ocean waves kinda' girl
but THIS place above - YEARNING to be there - it seems like the perfect retreat!
a place to zen out, practice yoga, and be silent with your thoughts!


everything about this sofa screams ROMANCE to me!
it's so lux and i'm so in love! - i would *heart* this to be in my life!

this girl is like a mini-version of ME! - i ADORE her
she's my lil inspiration for head scarves when my Mom loses her hair
chic lil princess this beauty is!

my love = snail mail!
best feeling in the world, is coming home to a hand written letter bundled in an envelope with a stamp!
that's true character!

i started this blog b/c i wanted a space to let me thoughts out of my head and into the universe
i'm reconsidering letting my thoughts marinate in a jar for a year - then revisit
i think it will be a great thought exercise!

completion!


LIKE WHAT YOU SAW?!?!
