Waiting for Spring

From this weekend at Cox Arboretum <3 The warmer temps didn't last long but it was a nice little break.

Minor Obsessions: Broad City

Broad City follows two women throughout their daily lives in New York City, making the smallest and mundane events hysterical and disturbing to watch all at the same time.

Lorde - Buzzcut Season

Dear Valentine

Cheesy fun nails.

Don't mind the claw hands.

My friend and I were complaining about boredom and decided to make cards for each other.

I'm not a huge lipstick person but I love these Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks.

Kinda weird thing to say about lipstick but they also smell great!

Film Club: Mary and Max

Mary and Max (2009) - A tale of friendship between two unlikely pen pals: Mary, a lonely, eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max, a forty-four-year old, severely obese man living in New York. 

Gold

Pale gold of the walls, gold
of the centers of daisies, yellow roses
pressing from a clear bowl. All day
we lay on the bed, my hand
stroking the deep
gold of your thighs and your back.
We slept and woke
entering the golden room together,
lay down in it breathing 
quickly, then
slowly again,
caressing and dozing, your hand sleepily
touching my hair now.

We made in those days
tiny identical rooms inside our bodies
which the men who uncover our graves 
will find in a thousand years,
shining and whole.

-Donald Hall  

Musical Moods: Zero 7- Swing

  Thought you’d be forever the same
When did you become so easy to change?
Can’t like who I won’t
No, that’s not true
I do know
Just can’t figure out how to pin down
There will be no unguarded kisses,
let go of my hand when they’re around
They say I’m unsound
But what do they know?
They can’t figure out how to get down
Soon enough I won’t care
stay in my arms, if you dare
You can’t romanticize
They are crazy
Will only let you down
Try to figure out how to keep you down
They’re all alone
I will keep you down 

Film Club: Big Fish

A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal. 

Big Fish (2003) - A son tries to learn more about his dying father by reliving stories and myths he told about his life. 

Library Haul

Checked out too many items once again.

Real quick run down:
This Is The End - Seen it. Liked it. Wanted to see it again.
Brave - Seen it. Love it. Let's watch it again.
The Odd Life of Timothy Green - A friend told me this movie was cute. 
Paprika - a random grab because the description sounded intriguing.
Children Who Chase Lost Voices - Same as above.
Orphan Black - Kept hearing it was good. Watched the first 3 episodes so far and I'm pretty sucked in, can't wait to find out what happens. Moving at a good pace so far.
Kick Ass 2 - I have a weird Kick Ass obsession. It's a bit darker than the first one. Hoping they make a third.
The Spectacular Now - I saw the movie and loved it and thought I'd try the book as well.
House of Leaves - Internet people have raved about it, but honestly....I can't get into it.
The Husband's Secret - Copied someone on instagram who said they couldn't put it down.
My Story by Elizabeth Smart - I keep reading kidnapping memoirs.
The Cuckoo's Calling - J.K. Rowling stalker.

Colorful Living and Things

I took advantage of the 3 free promotion Zoya had recently. I had a hard time choosing colors but I really love these shades. Deep navy tones are my favorite to wear lately for some reason. 

Perhaps I am too old for fun laces, but I don't care :D They were $1 each at a Converse outlet store. I'm the most fond of the silver glittery ones. 

I've been searching for some decent moon earrings for a while. Found them at an American Eagle outlet. 

Emerald green. Not a color I'd normally choose but I'm pretty excited for this satchel. Found it super cheap online in the Nordstrom sale section (and I had a gift card!).

12 year old version of myself shining through again. 

Doodles while watching American Horror Story. 

I've been searching for simple star earrings too. 

Volume 9 of The Walking Dead. The story is getting a little weird to me but we'll see what happens!

 Laced up Converse.

Matt got us a Keurig, even though neither of us drink a ton of coffee. I think I'll be using it more for tea and cider.

Another gift card purchase, they were cheap at the Nike outlet. I guess I have a thing for purple and turquoise together. I might add the pink laces to make them more obnoxious. Guess I have to work out more now.

Oops, this was a bit of a "haul" post. Don't mind me.
