cherry pink

Today's Inspiration Monday!

When the ladies Megan and Nora of Two Birds Boutique
choose an outfit to inspire a look.

Here's my version of the look.
To see how others styled it
go to:
inspiration monday: cheek to cheek.

Today's inspiration is:

Drew Barrymore
Did you see Oprah's Next Chapter with Drew Barrymore?
It aired January 20, 2013.
I thought it was super.

My guy and I bleached my blouse.
It was red when I bought it.

We saw this sign on our road trip, while in Texas.
I don't know why I found this amusing.
We all know I'm easily entertained.

My paisley dress was thrifted.
This was the first time I wore it because every time I put it on, I didn't like it.
It's now in the donate pile.
I think that makes 3 dresses in 3 days I'll be donating.

Cherry Waves by Deftones

Cherry Waves is my favorite song by Deftones. I can't tell you how many times I've played it, especially in the summer of 2008.

Today's Inspiration Monday!

When the ladies Megan and Nora of Two Birds Boutique
choose an outfit to inspire a look.

Here's my version of the look.
To see how others styled it,
go to inspiration monday: spy games.

Today's inspiration is:

Blake Lively
of course I liked her in Gossip Girl,
I'm so sad that show is over.
What did you guys think of the ending?

I also liked Blake in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies.

My mom made the boot chains in December 2011.
My boots and purse are thrifted.

Sometimes she felt like a shadow of her former self.
The one she was from before.
Black could be perfect for her mood.
It matched the color of her soul.
She didn't care if anyone else got the joke,
as long as she was laughing.
Hardy har har.

This zine called Taboo was made
by Brittney from Flow Disruption.

This gorgeous magnet was Made by Nicole.
It's my favorite magnet. :)
To see more of my magnet collection go to
Collections, awards, the cars.

My road trip photos of New Mexico

I've had this song playing in my head lately.
We listened to the Starfish album by The Church on our road trip.
Years ago, I teased my guy for listening to it all the time.

"...'Cause it's here, it's where the air is clear,

Where far off things could be quite near.

No repairs are needed, just a spark"...The Church

who's floyd?

"You say the hill's too steep to climb
Climb it.

The love bag was my present from a friend.
My black belt was crocheted by my mother-n-law.
The purple suede ankle boots I've had for years.

You say you'd like to see me try

Climbing
.

You pick the place and I'll choose the time

I'm wearing my Pink Floyd t-shirt.

And I'll climb
That hill in my own way. Just wait a while for the right day.

And as I rise above
the tree lines and the clouds

Can you see my peacock earrings?
My friend gave me those too.

I look down, hearing the sound
of the things you've said today.

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling.
Merciless the magistrate turns 'round Frowning.

Scenes from our road trip after Christmas.

And who's the fool
who wears the crown?
And go down,

in your own way
And every day is the right day

And as you rise above
the fear-lines in his brow

You look down,
hearing the sound
of the faces in the crowd.

This is another photo of me,
wearing my Pink Floyd t-shirt, in January 2010.

Yes, it's true that once upon a time, I really did think one of the guy's in the band was named Floyd.
Now I know better. It's none of them.
There's an article here. It's about the 2 blues musicians that theories say the band's named after.
