dust and fuschia


..."How could it be pink? Pink. A pink sky.
  from book 
A Girl Made of Dust by Nathalie Abi-Ezzi
I'm wearing my favorite thrifted dress.


Maybe it changed colour everyday so it was always a surprise when you woke up.
from book A Girl Made of Dust by Nathalie Abi-Ezzi

My mom made 2 out of the three bracelets I'm wearing.
My purse and my shoes were thrifted.




Everything else would be different too, trees would grow sideways and shed feathers instead of leaves,
from book A Girl Made of Dust by Nathalie Abi-Ezzi



the wind would tell you secrets as it blew,
roses would grow as big as houses, and there would be no war...

...The nut shop was line with containers full of different sorts of sweets, biscuits, and lollipops,

Oh my gosh, Freddie Mercury's outfit in this video cracks me up! Another One Bites The Dust by Queen reminds me of my childhood. When they would play this song at the roller skating rink in Cal-Skate, California.

sweet love

 Today is inspiration monday!
When the ladies Megan and Nora from 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: no good deal goes unnoticed.


Today's inspiration is:
Charlize Theron



I don't think it was very popular, 
but I really liked Charlize Theron 
in the movie Sweet November 2001.
I liked the movie so much that I bought the
Sweet November soundtrackon CD.



This original version  of the movie,
made me sad.

Sweet November the original 1968 movie 
My mom had told me about it,when the remake was made.


My mom gave me my necklace for Christmas.


"Show me a river that's so deep
Show me a mountain so high...

My purse was thrifted.


...Ah, show me a place where dreams are for dreamers
And all the things you wish come true, yeah



I'd wish the world had all happy people
Then there'd be no more wishing to do...

My art page inspired by Lifebook 2013 class.

...Sweet love

Sweet love that comes through the ages

My nephew Speed Racer.
My brother is on the left.

Reach out and touch my soul
Gave my life so much meaning
And everyone a heart of gold...
My nephew Baby JJ

I know you're searchin'
I know you're searchin' for a little love
A little peace and understandin'...
My twin nieces

And I know it's been hard tryin' to find your way
But you got to keep on searchin' harder day by day
'Cause it's love, love's the only way



(Oh, nothin' but love)
Oh?oh? (Love)

Sweet love...
Oh, oh...
 (When you're down and out and you can't see your way)

Sweet love (And you need a friend, well-ell-ell)
Oh, oh... (Just call on love, love)
Sweet love ... sweet love" Sweet Love by The Commodores

a wash of dark denim


Today my outfit is based on 14 Shades of Grey,
Style Imitating Art Challenge

When someone chooses a work of art, to inspire a look.


Today's art inspiration:
Left: Emilie Floege by Gustav Klimt
Right: My version of the look.

"A man can be destroyed but 

Not defeated
 
Even when he's lying black and blue
 

My blouse, skirt, tank, and shoes were thrifted.



Living on a faith above his ceiling
 
Never going to know if it rings true..."
