i suppose this city
will forever captivate me

admittedly,
i'm still prone to its incessant charm

(( unsurprising synchronicities & a necessary visit home ))

lunch with Grandma Carole (Mrs. Robinson)

for nostalgia's sake/a perfect latte/a glimpse into the underworld


 midday secret garden sanctuary/turmeric & pinion

this is all of it
this is everything
I'm wanting to forget

when winter sets in
it has a way of crystallizing the bad times
the fevers, the heart aches

sand stuck to my calves

iced mint tea




and my new favorite:

"The Purist"
(from Blue Agave)

1/2 Rampur lime
2 splashes agave nectar
2 ounces 4 Copas organic silver tequila

Split the Rampur Lime in half and place in a glass.
Add agave nectar. Muddle. Fill the glass halfway with ice
and continue to muddle. Fill the entire glass with ice and
add tequila. Cover the glass with a cocktail shaker and
shake well. Pour into a salt-rimmed glass and serve.

newly altered:

 [ July 4th dress-made-into denim skirt ]

ps.  how many memories are
able to fit into the grains
of denim before it
reaches its
saturation
point?

my morning dreams are my second life.

the line between dream-life and waking-life is permanently blurred.

( i love this ambiguity of consciousness )

my head is everywhere

this world is so tiny 

and

i am reminded that quality of life is so dependent
on our ability to adapt to & embrace

change.


(it is, after all, the only constant)

a couple nights in Venice is all it takes for a satisfying getaway.

go here. and prepare yourself for beautiful-item overload. Charlie Chaplin's old dance studio. 
rooms connected to rooms connected to old vaults. wandering through it, i felt like a wide-eyed child in a dreamlike playhouse. 
it's full of the most artfully designed pieces. and home to the most perfect jeans (Acne) i've ever owned.


 and i have yet to be disappointed with GJelina's mouthwatering menu. butterscotch pot de creme with sea salt here...say no more.
