Tickled Pink

This is taken from an Elephant Festival in India. When I
found this the caption underneath it said "tickled pink,"
isn't that the perfect description for the photograph?

I love flying and I love this photograph. I think that the
moon is behind it helps to make the photograph.

This quote is from a book I once read, but I found this
photograph on FFFFound.

These are all photographs which I have discovered over the last few days from surfing the web looking for inspiration. The first was taken from the Conde Nast Traveler website, the last two from FFFFound.com. I adore looking on both websites, since they either help me find inspiration or look for things and places to travel to.

Topshop Lust's

I <3>
shade of purple and neat detailing around the collar.

Typically I am not a fan of Kate Moss's line for Topshop, but

I think this dress is by far my favourite thing of hers. I could

see myself wearing it to attend the ballet with my grandmother

and cousin.


The perfect scarf for summer as well as helping to curb

my need for Indian things!



Very french and very me! I would totally pair this

with my new AE jeans and ballet flats for a relaxed look,

its a shame that it cost too much or I would buy it

in a heart beat.


The above items of clothing are all things which I am lusting after from Topshop right now. I have noticed that everything that I have ever bought from Topshop has been important staples in my wardrobe and always get me complements as well! Don't you just love it when you find a store where you know that anything that you buy will make you feel and look good?

Bubbles

On Thursday Mad and Gracie came over to my house so we could do the little shoot which we had been planing for ages. We took lots of photographs in the woods and fields, where I got so bitten up by the bugs, but it was all in the name of a perfect picture! I think I got some really good shots, a few which I might be able to put in my portfolio. Afterwords we found some bubbles, and us three of us, as well as my sister went into the front yard and spent a good hour or so blowing bubbles. I mean who doesn't love blowing bubbles? It reminds me of my childhood so much! The photograph above is one of my favourite pictures which I took on Thursday, look at how the colours turned out!

Whimsicality and Princesses



Erin Fetherson dresses, from I believe spring 2009 RTW, correct me if I am wrong. These two dresses appeal to me on so many different levels; perhaps it is the whimsicality's of them? Or is it the light sky blue and lilac purple colours? Or is it how perfect they would be to dance around in? No? I think that it is all three answers! Do you want to know what irritates me? The fact that I cannot find copies of Lula magazine in my local bookstores or even good scans of the issues online. I love the look which Lula has, all the pictures which I have seen remind me of my childhood fantasies of wanting to be a princess (what girl didn't want to be a princess? Heck, sometimes I still want to be a princess!).

Jet Setting


Now this picture explains exactly what I wish I was doing this summer; traveling! As you know I love to travel, almost more then anything, but sadly I cannot travel that much this summer since I am quite busy. Though we do have a few plans this summer which we are almost positive which we're going to do. I need to check out schools in the NYC area so we might go down to the city for the weekend, which I would love since I haven't been their since the beginning of last summer. Then hopefully in August my mother, sister and I are planning on doing a little road trip to visit some friends. I have never been on a road trip before but we already have the perfect road trip soundtrack, the music from the movie Elizabethtown (its the perfect driving soundtrack). I love the joy of traveling; the feeling of escaping everyday life, airports (yes I know I am weird), exploring new places, and meeting new people.

The Curious Case

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. "
~The Curious Case of Benjamin Button~


I just got finished watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for the first time. At first I wasn't too crazy about the film but then slowly it grew on me. By the end of the film I was sobbing my eyes out like a baby! So was my mother, my sister sat next to us laughing her head off at us, since she never cries when watching films. I think the first half of the film was rather slow but then it picked up speed. One of my favourite characters, wasn't a main character at all, it was the man who got struck by lighting seven times! Every time he said one of the ways he got struck it kinda made me laugh a little. I am so excited that the people who did all the amazing special effects on this film shall be doing the last scene in the seventh Harry Potter movie, the one where all the actors have to age older, I am sure that it shall be spectacular!

Elegance

Audrey Hepburn
Gah... this is amazing. She looks so poised and regal, everything which I wish I was! This photograph was taken by Bob Willoughby, who just recently released previously unpublished photo's of Audrey Hepburn, this is one of them (more can be seen on his Flickr page). Now I am off to bed where I shall ponder the beauty of this photograph, wishing that I might be just as poised as her, even if it is only when being photographed (ahhh... now you have discovered my great secret, I am not photogenic, so that is why I prefer to be behind the lens!).
