"She doesn't enter your world... You enter hers. "

  summer. finally summer.

I cannot believe that school is already over! I mean I've essentially been waiting for this moment since this semester started, but now that summer is here it feels absolutely surreal. 

Does every year past faster as you get older? 

 We wanted to take every bougainvillea (def just spell checked that) vine home, especially the magenta ones

its hard to do these pretty flowers justice sometimes...  

haha i can't decide whether these eye-less photos say camera shy or just camera w****

Down in the valley

This past Sunday was spent at a gorgeous nursery just outside the city. We only had about an hour to look around- definitely not enough time to take in the fairytale setting. The stained glass window above was my favorite part- it just gave the place such a rustic feel. Getting away from the city is so very necessary sometimes. Which is precisely what I'm doing again in two days- only this time all the way to Italy! I will definitely be documenting every aspect of the trip, so after a three week hiatus (unless I have computer access there) look out for a travel diary!

I've never been a hat person, but i recently found the perfect white hat from pines& needles. new summer staple perhaps!

...flowers that look strangely like leaves?

"Mockingbirds are the true artists of the bird kingdom. Which is to say, although they’re born with a song of their own, mockingbirds aren’t content to merely play the hand that is dealt them. Like all artists, they are out to rearrange reality.”
