dresses wish list

i have wish lists
for almost everything

travel wish list
shoes wish list
concert tickets wish list

but no list is as long
as my dress wish list

i adore dresses so much
that i would trade
all the pleasures of today
to return to the 1950s
& prance around in a different dress
every day

dresses are without a doubt
my favourite piece of clothing
they are to me what shoes are
to most ladies (and guys)
i'm always craving new ones

i found quite a few
i was fond of
at modcloth

summer must haves.
emphasis on the must.

kisses,

flickr finds

i've joined flickr
and i've been browsing
instead of studying
shhh!

really enjoyed mogo!'s set

the designs are so refreshing
&
the colours are simply wonderful

i could stare at the photos all day
but
studying isn't going to do itself

in other news,
i've been trying to set up a music player
on the posts
i've encountered two problems:

1. i can't find one that is aesthetically suitable
2. installing them requires brainpower, all of which
if currently used by studying

but je vous promesse
that soon enough
a pretty and functional
player will release
wonderful tunes

they really are too good to keep to myself ;)

love,

my kind of thinking

popped over to wue
during a study break

stumbled upon
such a great
anecdote

i'm almost positive
that the mom
in that scenario
is my own

love her.

lots of spring air kisses,

tea cupping

hi!

hope all is well.

funny story.

for a while, i've been meaning
to post about one of my favourite
things
ever!

china tea cups

some truly epitomize
the words
"simply lovely"

funny story part,
i was chatting with my friend
and fellow blogger
ms. caitie
and demanded that she blog more often

"what about?"
she inquired.
i revealed that my next post will be about
china tea cups
& in that instant she frantically responded
that moments ago, she had entered the words
"tea cups" into an image search

crazy!

guess we're pretty connected in the blogosphere

upon this incident she's rightfully bestowed
the name,
"the tea cup incident"

back to tea cups.

their fragility & simplicity
amazes me &
aesthetically intrigues me

wishing you many tea parties this summer,

-m

images: coming soon!

lazy days, wonderful finds

it's been one of those lazy days

i hid under the covers

avoiding my books

for hours

was quite abusive

towards the snooze button

oops.

i've finally surrendered

raised the white flag,

picked up those books,

and entered the library

this week

i found some photos

i really like

the tattoo in the first is beautiful,

i would never get a tattoo

something so permanent

frightens me

but it looks so lovely on her wrist

the wallpaper in the second photo

is my desktop image!

i couldn't believe it at first

also, i love her dress

the final photo

reminds me of sitting on grass

on a spring evening

without a spec of responsibility

nor a hint of worry

lots of polite european cheeks kisses,

little shopping trip

shopping trip

quite fun, comme toujours

kisses,

across the pond adventures

i will be venturing
across the pond
this summer
to a little place
called europe

visited last year
...and the year before
...and a few others
guess i'm smitten

these photos
make me forget
the pesky parts of travelling
customs, luggage checks, long lines

and remind me of
endless photo opportunities
laughing at moments lost in translation
& unfamiliar sights

they got me in the mood
for some salvatore adamo


lots of love,

-m

wonderful weather

quel temps fait-il?

most adorable weather website
ever!
if only all weather channels
used such creative art
i wouldn't mind rainy mondays
and cloudy fridays

writing this before going downstairs
to brew some delicious coffee,
black.

outside, it's quietly raining
i'm wrapped in my wool sweater
listening to joshua radin
perfect companion for a night
of endless economic formulas & graphs

hope your day included some april showers,

chocolate
in itself
is a wonderful thing

so wonderful
that it is my chosen food item.

chosen food item?
you know, the food item
you'd choose to have
if you were stranded on an island.
yeah, that wonderful

a while ago i came across
a chocolate bar
with witty packaging
delicious AND refreshing!

i picked up a few bars
now i can't eat them
they've become conversation pieces

the packaging is oh so clever
case in point: BOCHOX
designed to resemble medication
for chocoholics

the description reads:

Relief from the symptoms of wrinkles and crow's feet without ever entering the dermatologist's office. Simply break off the desired dosage and consume; you'll quickly be overcome by stress-relieving endorphins and no longer be concerned in the slightest about wrinkles.


hope your weekend included unnecessary calories,

-m

Христос воскресе!

it's orthodox Easter tomorrow!
Hristos vaskrse! Vaistinu vaskrse!

being the chocoholic that i am,
Easter is always
a much welcomed holiday

calories?
well they simply don't exist!
as chocolate eggs run into my mouth
with their fellow peers not far behind

yum!

every year i plan
to elaborately paint the eggs
express my inner artiste
but alas,
the library awaits, the books need to be opened

oh well!
moms just do it so much better ;)
case in point:
moline's lovely set on flickr

hope your weekend includes lots of chocolate,

c'est le printemps!

spring is here! /

c'est le printemps!

it's harder to study so i've become a social butterfly

but school has clipped my wings

& now i'm back in the library gazing outside

staring at clouds that have finally turned white

i still need to buy my italy ticket

another errand

my conspiracy theory: errands increase during spring months

but the season appeases us with white clouds,

and barely there breezes

so that we barely notice

the extra things on our to do lists

hope your day includes some sun,

-m
