Petite Bohemian

In case I didn't mention this: I'm going to bonnaroo with my girlie Colleen! Super-duper excited! Expect the odd post here and there about bonnaroo packing...starting with this post. I've been coveting the House of Harlow 1960 headbands by Nicole Richie...but they are like 300$ so I scoped out a cheaper version by Raven Eve Jewlery at Etsy.

This little piggy came home..with me!

I want a little pet pig! The only downside is, they don't stay little...the "teacup" variety can be 75-100 lbs although most breeders advertise them as being 25-50 lbs.Craziness! I wish I could just get a piglet that stayed a piglet...but then again if I had my way kittens would stay kittens and puppies would stay puppies.

Summertime and the Living is Easy

Seeing as I'm about to drown under the amount of work my teachers are piling on me these LAST 8 DAYS of high school EVER, I haven't been able to devote nearly enough time to my summer wardrobe. I could barely  scrounge two outfits for spring break...I just wore the same shorts for the whole trip. I did manage to snag this cute straw fedora for 2$ from target (ignore the lame picture..I was getting a little silly on that long car ride). Its really great for just getting your face out of the sun for a bit on the beach. I mean, yes there is a 20% chance you'll look a little toolish but honestly, there are very few beach hats that don't. Same goes for sunglasses. p.s. Like the nail polish?

My Favoritest Outfit

Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes has had some great fashion moments but I have to say this is my most favorite look of hers. Its almost uncharacteristically simple and feminine but I'm in love with it. I've been looking for a lace bodysuit like the one she is wearing but can't seem to find one that is satisfactory. Its the little scoop back that I'm looking for! It really does make the top perfection. She got hers from forever21 but it's long since discontinued. Urban Outfitters and American Apparel have some likely candidates but I haven't found THE one.

Timshel

In English class yesterday, we were discussing literary tattoos. I think if I were to get one right now it would probably be just like the one pictured: Timshel. It's a Hebrew word meaning "Thou mayest". It's significance is explained in the book East of Eden by John Steinbeck. What would you get? If you had to pick.

Still to Be Neat- Ben Johnson

    Still to be neat, still to be dressed, 
    As you were going to a feast; 
    Still to be powdered, still perfumed: 
    Lady, it is to be presumed, 
    Though art's hid causes are not found, 
    All is not sweet, all is not sound.
 
    Give me a look, give me a face 
    That makes simplicity a grace; 
    Robes losely flowing, hair as free: 
    Such sweet neglect more taketh me 
    Than all the adulteries of art; 
    They strike mine eyes but not my heart.

Newer favorite poem!

Missing ballet lessons more and more these days...

Just Ballet by Sarah Maxine

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art —
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors —
No — yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever — or else swoon to death.
-John Keats


Favorite poem right now. I studied it in Lit class earlier this year, and I was so excited to find out that a movie was being made about John Keats' life! It's called Bright Star and it made me cry for hours. It *needs* to be watched.

Bleached Eyebrows

I'm having a weird moment with bleached eyebrows...I'm half-tempted to just take the plunge and just get mine dyed. But honestly, I can't even walk out of the house in harem pants. So much for being industrious. Except industrious means busy...industrious should mean brave, because I'm not...brave, that is. Come to think of it, I'm not really industrious either. Whatever, bleached eyebrows are probably going to stay one of those "glad I didn't do it" things.
