love galore
Love galore, rainbow spectrum. You're mine any day.
The mother and the artist are watched over by heaven. Life is always moving us forward to higher ground. There may be setbacks, but life is in and of itself good - just look at the self-healing body. No impediment is too great for the ever-flowing life source.
We always return to our natural state, a state of peace. When the artist channels the muse, she reveres heaven. She aligns herself with the mysterious forces that power the universe and that seek, through her, to bring forth new life.
It is love galore, it is overflowing and ever presence. Nothing could ever cut her off from divine inspiration.

if she wants me
New York was a crazy place, in which she set out to find peace. Nothing was perfect, but everything was moving.
She was crazy, but she was grounded by a blind faith she possessed since she was young. She never doubted the existence of God, nor could she deny the presence of God in everyone she encountered. It was like she was born never separated from the oneness.
But one does not simply rest in this - they go out into the world, they move to New York, they fuck up.
And that's exactly what she did. Four years ago, with a one way ticket and $800 in her bank account.
She always believed it would work out, that the gift of life was to be trusted in it's forward motion.
New York was always moving, and so was she. It was long ago that she decided New York was a place she could be for life, if it wanted her.

dressed up in you
In a previous life, we were lovers in Barcelona. You met me in a white dress, you were a music-making man.
All I want is the best for our love, my dear. We'll begin the summer together, well aware of our endless numbered days.
This delicate heart can't bear much else, it's already been through the riptide. Yet it moves along still, with the sentiment of the artist, truly knowing the world is good.
Be gentle with me, I may drift awhile.

postcards from los angeles
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of staying at the Petit Ermitage in West Hollywood. It had such a beautiful french feel with a boutique aesthetic.
The best part by far was the roof. It had a romantic restaurant half inside/half outside with little tables hidden among the trees. It also had an amazing pool with big lounge chairs and Moroccan Rugs. It felt so intimate and private up in the Hollywood sky.
Of course, I had to bring a shag jacket and a bathing suit for the pool. I was feeling so many Lana Vibes with this look. Both the bathing suit and the jacket are by Pretty Attitude! One of my favorite online shopping destinations.

I've been feeling bohemian lately - I don't know if it's the music I'm listening to, or New York. Helping me bring this inner bohemian-child to my daily dress code is House of Harlow 1960. If you're not familiar with the brand, it's designed by Nicole Richie and sells on Revolve.
The black bodysuit and sequin jacket in this look are both from House of Harlow. I waited a while for these pieces to go on sale, and was so happy to get my hands on them when they finally did. I'm going to include links to shop, because they're still marked down!
I've been wearing a lot of indie-label bohemian pieces as well, but to be honest, the quality just isn't as high. I'm proud of these two purchases, and know I'll get a lot of uses out of them.
My rings are a mix of Verameat and Torchlight jewelry. I've been stacking so many on my hands everyday.
Hope you all have an amazing Wednesday, get creative and put on some good tunes!

escape everything
"A composition - and every work of art is one -- is created in a wondrous interplay between imagination and reason, or between mind and reflection. For there will always be an element of chance in the creative process."

the life of a poet
I'd like to see you, but I really should let you settle down. Our souls floating in air.
If we live by books, and we live by hope, does that make us failures in the eyes success?
Bohemian dream queen. Little doll strumming guitar, she knows all the words.
Rising from the mist of morning, taking responsibility for my past choices.
I hope I have the strength to start over again.

i hate pink
Here's a few pieces that have been in rotation in my closet lately. I've rediscovered a love for colors, wildfox and denim.
The first pink sweater I got from wildfox when I was a freshman in college, like 6 years ago! I don't think I'll ever let it go. The way it drapes on the body is so perfect.
The little polka-dot romper is by one of my favorite brands, Lioness. I feel like you can get really good pieces form their brand for an event for a good price. I'll also look through their selection if I need a new dress for something coming up.
The little white so cliché tee is actually a bodysuit, with snaps at the bottom. It's part of wildfox's new collection. Super easy to wear, especially with faded high-waisted denim.
Here's some links below to some some of the items that are still available online!
Have the most awesome Wednesday babes!

the war of art and love
She lost her crazy when she fell in love. The edge that separated her and the world.
Comfort came against her will. And in this life, all you have is your fire. She wasn't sure if a passion for art could survive alongside a lifetime romance. Does love just seek to bore us, to bring us out of our wild? Maybe not love in it's purest form, but the social construct of love.
Love inspires and then it suffocates, she wondered if the artist was destined to be alone. Solititude kept her body's edges sharp, love softened her hips.
Humankind's main motivation is to seek and experience personal freedom, and she had many affairs of the heart. Little flings with other like-minded artists that gave way to boundless inspiration before they self-destructed. But this love was different - it was like the love of her father, the love of a family. It made her less wild, and she wasn't sure if she wanted that.
We love purely when we release other people to be who they are. The ego seeks intimacy through control and guilt. The holy spirit seeks intimacy through acceptance and release.
The other morning she read that the people you surround yourself with serve as excellent mirrors for how much, or how little you love yourself.
It was then that she began to realize she loved herself very much.
