Why So Serious
WILFRED CARDIGAN, SILENCE & NOISE CORSETRY BRA, H&M PANTS, GUCCI HAT & SHOES
Today was a horribly unproductive day. I waited all day for UPS to deliver a package but they never came. Bastards.
I often get comments that I don't smile enough in my photos. Like Victoria Beckham, however, I swear I'm not a "miserable cow". In honor of not being a blank faced bore, I present you with the obnoxious photo above...
...whatever. Close enough.
XOXO,

WILFRED SWEATER & HAT, T BY ALEXANDER WANG TANK TOP, AMERICAN APPAREL LEGGINGS, ZARA SHOES
What I wore to lunch today with my good friend Peter. I instantly fell in love with the color combination and the loose weave construction of this Wilfred sweater. It's two sizes too big but I'm not one to pass up anything that is remotely Rodarte inspired. I'm also a bit of an impatient/impulse shopper and when I want something, I want it right then and there.
XOXO,

Since we're on the topic of tattoos lately, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte have all decided to go far beyond garments that adorn the body on the runways, and have now embraced body paint and rub-ons. I have a feeling this is going to be one of the next big trends for S/S 2010.
XOXO,
Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours
Extracted from my favorite love letter ever written, Immortal Beloved by Ludwig van Beethoven, long before it was mentioned in the Sex and the City movie. This is the fourth addition to my family of ink and will be my last... I think.
Currently rockin' the Alexander Wang side braid and my new Citizens of Humanity jeggings. I feel like my IQ just dropped ten points after saying that. "Jeggings" is a funny word.
XOXO,
Back to Black
TALULA CROPPED SWEATER & SKIRT, KOVA & T LEGGINGS, ALEXANDER WANG SHOES
Back and better than ever.
XOXO,
Separated
Then we wouldn't have wings
If love was a sky
We'd be blue
If love was a choir
You and I could never sing
Cause love isn't for me and you
If love was an Oscar
You and I could never win
Cause we can never act out our parts
If love is the Bible
Then we are lost in sin
Because it's not in our hearts
So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated
If love was a fire
Then we have lost the spark
Love never felt so cold
If love was a light
Then we're lost in the dark
Left with no one to hold
If love was a sport
We're not on the same team
You and I are destined to lose
If love was an ocean
Then we are just a stream
Cause love isn't for me and you
So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated
Boy I know we had some good times
It's sad but now we gotta say goodbye
Boy you know I love you, I can't deny
I can't say we didn't try to make it work for you and I
I know it hurts so much but it's best for us
Somewhere along this windy road we lost the trust
So I'll walk away so you don't have to see me cry
It's killing me so, why don't you go..." — Usher
Things are different now. Time is changing and we're in the midst of a transition from "we" back to "him" and just "I". Nearly four years in the making; we've been up and down, up and down, up and then back down for months now, but this time, it's me stepping back when I'm usually the one holding on. This has caused me much more pain than any past heartbreaks combined; when you realize that something you once cherished so dearly might actually be over, despite the fact that you thought it would never end. You are then reminded that as strong as you think you are, or as invincible as you may feel at times, you are, in fact, human. But if I could wish in all the stars for just my heart to be broken and not his, I would do it in less than a heartbeat, because it hurts to know he's hurt.
However, it puts me at ease that I'm saying goodbye knowing I allowed myself the chance for a story book tale with a man that possess such amazing capabilities, who I know can only better himself, and doing so, without restriction. He'll always be a part me because he helped shape this young woman you see forth. Thus, a fresh new slate, simplified with the focus strictly on me.
XOXO,
