to be alive*

 now that i know enchanted is about him, ive rekindled my fascination with adam's tweets. and he just keeps getting better. in other news of the day: ive been listening to old playlists. aand cleaning the kitchen [whuuuut. yeah i speak truth.]

[glee + teenvogue = like heaven]

ive eaten too much chocolate cupcake batter. mmm so delicious, but all i want is water for the rest of the day. for now, im gonna keep watching my favourite part of camprock over and over. "been feeling lost, can't find the words to say.."

so inlove with her dress.

wishing: i could play guitar.

contemplating: how much things can change in a week.

aaand my new life goal: working for unicef.

{live like there's no tomorrow by selenagomez}

happy wednesday everyone xoxo

like a fireworks show*

You’ll take me to the vintagerecord store

Down the road from where you live

And we’ll show each other beautiful covers

Legends in their younger days

Then we’ll walk through the streets

Of our lovely hometown

Our footsteps in the snow

Fairy lights in the trees

Streetlamps guiding the way

To the house where you tell me

You dream of raising your daughters

And that brilliant son you'll
Play ball with down the street

We sneak out back and

See the beautiful garden

'We could build a treehouse or a princess tent'

You say

-All I see is the isle

I want to walk down to you

With my hair up

In my perfect white dress

And they'd capture the moments

We laughed on the swings

And danced by the tree

You turn to me and smile

That dangerously charming

Look in your eyes

Captivates my heart

-I see you dreaming

I feel you hoping

And suddenly my dreams melt into yours

We’re standing in line

At crowded a mall

With giant sparkling trees

Waiting to meet Santa

To tell him they’ve been good 

To the North Pole we post

The wishes of our precious little ones

We’re sitting by the fire just before bedtime

Drinking your famous hot cocoa

And they're wearing the sweaters
Your mom made

With all the love in the world

Lost in my dreaming

You gently lift my chin

Say the light makes me glow

That I make your heart happy

And there it is

The perfect kiss

-Sparks fly between the flutters

The perfect first date

And im dreaming of forever 

Looking into your eyes

Holding your hand

Dancing to the music

Of our beating hearts

And im dreaming of forever with you
xoxo

my thoughts echo your name*

"This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you"

a beautiful college. sorority girl. fraternity boy. greek events. glee in your dorms. watching meteor showers together!!! i love that youre living my dream. and ofcourse, i proclaim the song of tonight (and every night since ive heard it, haha) enchanted by taylorswift.

love always xoxo

let's play a game..*

if i were in america tonight id have taylorswift's new album already, and not have to wait forever. id also be watching the gg episode where lil j comes back. and, if i stayed for another six days, i could celebrate my favourite not-really-a-holiday in a place where they appreciate the brilliance of it. #justsayin 

xoxo

it's like you hit me with lightning..*

"You are a puzzle...complex are every one of your parts and pathways, every thread sewn into place is knotted so intricately that if I was to try and solve you, it might take me a lifetime. For you are evolving....ever expanding and decreasing, your ways forever wavering yet always holding true to WHO YOU ARE.

So who are you? What is it about you that completes the picture of who you are?

And why are so many of us never happy with the artwork that is ourselves?

Something for us to ponder....especially me.

IDENTITY is a crazy concept..."

contemplating you*

i came across these. they made me think of you.technically, im having tea. but i still cant get over how epic it is that you have a megaphone. and how priceless it would be to witness you telling your mom a story when she's upstairs. 

 we don't make sense. but you mean the world to me. so, like everything else. just accept.

we all say it now. especially the boys. silly influencial americans, they think they can just come here and change our vocabulary :) gosh.

today's number: 43. fragrance: white musk by thebodyshop. favourite meal: (tempted to say the eighth slice of pb toast..) tasty vegetarian-friendly wraps by daddy. favourite moment: ky. song: american girl by taylorswift. someone. tell me where my favourite places are. such a simple question. and yet.. it's proven so difficult. *freaking out* tomorrow is: make-britt-study-while-you-watch-skins-on-her-wonderful-mac day. oh, and soupkitchen-with-ali day. #ilovethegaplife. (twitter is life. only lisafortuin will get this.)

enchantedhappy xoxo

to be your anything*

that's how you make my heart feel. like it should twirl around and smile that smile. the smile only you can read, the smile your heart knows*

(nothing makes me smile like a new taylorswift song. and i just got a ton) rightnow im laughing at: monologue song (la la la) from when she was on snl. it's the greatest* mmm daddy's making delicous food. countdown to twoweeksnotice: three hours. countdown to thelakehouse: onehourhour. (not sure if ill be watching it though. my dad just told me it's like meetjoeblack, which broke my heart.) waitingfordinner songs: americangirl. your anything. barnyard song. lucky you. all by (you guessed it) taylorswift. apparently there are russian girls looking for me. um. no thankyou. i miss: gilmoregirls. blowpen artwork. the night we all stayed up downloading the chords to songs we loved to sing. you on guitar. and the 6am roadtrip that followed. mmmm freshcoriander. peppadew and feta. wonderful pesto. freshlybaked pitabread. exciting flavours exciting colours. I LOVE FOOD*

enchantedhappy xoxo

i see through it now*

the piano whispers

her deepest truest wish

floating her hopes through the air i breathe

gently falling upon my tiny bruised heart

are the secrets she

dares to set alight

seriously considering just not going to bed. i have to be awake again in less than three hours. my electricblanket (oh, how i love my electricblanket) is all warm and waiting for me, though. it's just.. so lovely here. blogging. listening to taylorswift. sending colourful emails filled with my every thought. loving: the 'a wedding in the woods' shoot. the idea of being inlove is something ive always believed in. i believe that perfect moments happen. i believe there's one person meant to make your heart sparkle. and i believe that someday, when our hearts are complete enough on their own, he and i will be madly inlove. and we will venture out into the world. being us. creating what will be ours. together. and i believe that love, true love, lasts forever.

enchantedhappy xoxo

missadachi is back yay :) while she did her thirty days without fb ive been trying to do thirty days of trusting. thirty days of my first thought not being 'they could hurt me' or 'it's not a big deal if all they know is the person i let them see'. and it's been surprisingly liberating. sufficiently terrifying, but wonderful none the less. taylorswift's description of herself on her myspace page makes me love her even more. yes, i am on her myspace page right now. stalking: her blog. listening to: her new single, mine. and wishing: we were actually friends. haha. okay i better get to bed. to dream of: sparkly things. christmas time. sunset picnics. that night on the beach when you let me lean in and rest my head on your chest. indulging in the beauty of the moment. and never looking back. "you are the best thing that's ever been mine."

enchantedhappy xoxo

with every ghost of what i knew*

leighnewlands, you rock my world. over and over again. it actually kinda blows my mind. songs of the evening: just the girl by clickfive. i'd lie by taylorswift is breaking my heart. pondering: one thousand paper cranes. stalking: uo dresses. northwestern university. been reading: ecclesiastes. maya angelou once said: "i've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

thinking: in the colour of crushed berries. about juniorschool. and how epic it is that starpersongirl and her family just met OBAMA! wow. wanting to watch: the buried life. bring it on. tomorrow: im attending lectures at medicalschool. C is going to cape town fashionweek. twoweeksnotice is coming on tv.

enchantedhappy xoxo

with her once..*

you paint me red

with your bristles

and tickly stanza's

of old keys

and doors that

could love them

you print me

on blank paper

now i'm bigger than me

bigger like you

tuck me in the cream

pages of your book

and carry me

and I'll be so pleased

bursting inside

like tiny starry fireworks

that will never

be swallowed into

empty space

or open sea

-starflowerandindigo

woke up to the sound of rain. warm with my electricblanket. cream cheese and rosemary with my breakfast. danced around the kitchen to taylorswift. wonderful start to my saturday*

just wrote jo's birthday letter. and now we're going to crash M's game-watching. yay friendship*

enchantedhappy xoxo

and this is where emotion flares*

i spent a lot of today blog stalking. and trying to keep the people in the office calm. i was genuinely scared for them. stress levels were higher than i can handle. and i decided that i might actually love paris. shocking, i know haha. and i decided on the concept for the shoot i will do with miss fortuin and B. yes.
i listened to much deathcab and taylorswift. and i had chocolate. delicious chocolate.

im in love with these tights. they were used in almost every editorial i loved last month. i want to wear them with docs. someone get me docs! oh and iv decided on some more presents to allocate. and i am really and truly for real in love with 15 on orange. danna is going to have her birthday there. at the bar im obsessed with. we're are going for drinks there next week. "champagne and lovely frocks" says danna. woopwoop* um lisa can u please organise a masked ball for me there? thank you*

today, i saw a man who plaited his beard. and i saw ricardo (shout out to st jaaames*) looking so great. wearing an amazing trench coat. this morning i was super ..on the edge. [see twitter for exhibit a. and b] aaand i drank normal tea and actually enjoyed it. and i found the next book i want to read. it's called 'perfect' by a lady named emily. im really excited to read it. oh. roz, scarlett and i are all contemplating reintroducing the fringe into our lives.

currently obsessed with exotic tea. and stalking. of all sorts. and perfume.

and desperate to start writing again. heartbroken that all my brilliant writing from the days in the education system is lost forever.

metrorail. we'll take you there.

enchantedhappy xoxo

fearless*

There's somethin' 'bout the way the street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to your car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot, yeah

We're drivin' down the road, I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair
Absent-mindedly makin' me want you
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless

So baby drive slow 'til we run out of road
In this one horse town, I wanna stay right here
In this passenger seat, you put your eyes on me
In this moment, now capture it, remember it
'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless

Well, you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake, I'm not usually this way
But you pull me in and I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss, it's flawless, really somethin'
It's fearless'


Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless

'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless

ah love <3 it's wonderful xoxo

crazier*

I've never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
Til' you opened the door
And there's so much more
I'd never seen it before

I was tryin' to fly but I couldn't find wings
But you came along and changed everything
You lift my feet off the ground

You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me Crazier Crazier Crazier

I watched from a distance as you
Made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know how that would fee
lAnd you made it so real

You showed me something that I couldn't see
You opened my eyes and you made me believe

You lift my my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier

Baby you showed me what livin' is for
I don't wanna hide anymore
Oh Ohh
You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm fallin and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier
Crazier Crazier

crazier by taylor swift.. *happy sigh* i'm falling hard xoxo
