Life is Better in Motion

Hello Blog.
It's been away too long...
And I can honestly say that I have been devastated to have been away for so long.
What can I say? My life as a college student is out of control.
But I won't lie. Part of the reason is because Pinterest is addicting.
*sigh* I'm a little ashamed of said fact. It's like I've cheated on my blog with some cheap floosy source of inspiration!!
I digress. The real reason I'm posting is not to catch you up on my life.  :)
 But having coming across this Chanel ad...I was all too inspired.
Chanel is once again taking a cue from the sports world.
(Remember the surf board?)
These pictures took my breath away.  It's everything I'm feelin' right now. via SportsStylist, Cindy Whitehead-who's blog, I must say, is so sicknasty. It makes me happy.Anyway.Back on topic.

P o e t r y , m y d e a r s.

This is so sick.

All I want to do right now is be o u t s i d e

Mainly at the beach.

But Ill take anywhere as long as its outside.

& that's whats up with me right now.

Happy Friday.

Why Can't We Seem to Hold it Togetherrrrrr?

It's been a while since I've blogged.

So much has passed.

It would PROBABLY take nearly an eternity to expound upon the subject of my absence.

Maybe I'll catch up whoever has decided out of the goodness of their hearts to still check on this blog  starting tomorrow.

Maybe I'm also a bad procrastinator.

I havent decided.

Anyway.

Just some thoughts that I need to get out: (I've seemed to have a lot of those lately)

Brace yourselves, folks.

Since when do we seem to just get tired of standing up and fighting for the right thing?

At what point does seeing things as how they should be become adolescent?

Since when do we see things as how they are and just decide to not care?

The mature thing shouldn't be to forget about it all and just go with the flow.

The grown-up thing that we should be teaching our kids is to fight for what you believe in and stand up for morals and values and treating people right.

Thats what should be happening but its like less and less people care and they want to justify it with their selfishness and laziness.

Get up out of your selfish self and stand up for the right thing.

Stop being a contradiction and hurting people.

You have more of an influence than you think.

You have the power to make a great difference in your world and not caring is a cop out.

You still have to do the right thing even when its not convenient for you and even when you dont feel like it.

Why?

Because thats what we all need. Its what this world needs.

And it doesnt mean you're the same as some spirited young person who people view as being blinded by their passion or zeal for beliefs and convictions.

IT MEANS YOU HAVE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY.

But why is it that there are even movies about young people who try to fight for good things and stand up for right things and the leaders who SHOULD BE behind them are some of their adversaries?

Is it because as a young person one is  between choosing the right thing that one was taught about as a child and choosing to just not care because as an adult you compromise to get what you want?

Im not trying to be judgy.

Im saying we have to decide we will be greater than our predecessors and its going to take work.

What happened to true integrity?

Doing the right thing when noone's really looking-when youre not under a spotlight.

Get yourself together before you hurt someone watching you.

Well thats my random two am rant.

Read it.

Ponder it.

Take it to heart.

Idk.

Do what you will.

Dont be afraid to comment.

I like feedback.

Ill keep fashion blogging, dont worry my loves.

 things are just supa craaaazzzy right now.

;)

and Im working on it.

This was therapeutic though. I might do it again.

Until next time loves

Sweet Dreams

What I really hate is that I start so many posts and don't get to finish them.
Tragic, really. It almost breaks my heart. <\ \3
Hopefully, I can become a much better blogger. :] I miss this :]
Meanwhile! I went to The NutCracker Ballet a few weekends ago :] It was everything I could have hoped it would be.
Pics to come later. Meanwhile, I'm just as obsessed with it as I've always been. Who wants to throw a Nutcracker party with me?

Happy Thursday :]

Well Happy Belated Thanksgiving!!! :]
I hope it was splendid for every one of you Turkeys out there!!!
I have been out of town and not had time to post; but let me tell you something, dolls! I ate so much I thought I was going to have roll instead of walk! There was so much food, there were 13 desserts alone....ALONE. THATS NOT EVEN THE BIG GIANTIC DINNER BUFFET THAT WE HAD!!!! Of course we fed a lot of people, but everyone could have had leftovers for days. I will have pictures of the whole shebang up soon. :] For now I wanted to post and not feel like I was abandoning this little behbeh.

So cats. Catwoman. Cat Burglars. <3 (I actually hate cats as in housecats, but we'll say I'm talking about our more fabulous, large-and-in-charge furry feline friends. See: Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Panthers, oh my!!! ;] )
My friend and I have a little running joke that I'm catwoman in the D.C. world.
And who wouldn't want to be her? This version I mean, of course. Gorgeous!

And Felicia, The Black Cat in the Marvel world.

Comics anyone?
It started when I was a jewel thief for halloween, you see.
Very Catwoman-esque, the whole stealing and lurking around. (No, I didnt really steal anything. I'm sorry to disappoint you, loves. But you know, you can't just be taking things too far!!!)
Even Katherine Hepburn had a pet leopard in Bringing Up Baby, which I am still dying to see. Can you just imagine?!
And so when I came across this little spread, I was delighted.
Via fashionising.com, these photos and fashionising's own little prelude article are just puuurrrrfect. ;)
The styling drew me in like a thief to diamonds! ;) Too cool not to share. Read on, kitty cats.

"Attach two small, pointed feline ears to the top of anything and the transformation is instant. Ever wondered why?

Cat’s prowl. They stalk. They can purr with a quiet, knowing satisfaction or with a low rumble of just-try-me. Unlike human follies, feline error always lands on its feet. These things are all the strengths of association. They’re why we see cat-like details as powerfully seductive and dangerous, yet maddeningly sweet. You don’t have to be a cat-lover to make those mental associations.
And so we get to this shoot from Glamour Spain. Model Luize Salmgrieze is cat woman, cat burglar, sex kitten. Unlike the bunny ears that were such a trend a few years ago, the cat ears lick clean the whimsical quirk and replace it with an injection of vintage cool. Mapi Vidal’s styling couldn’t hit the nail more precisely on the head: it’s swinging ’60s meets decidedly modern and it’s the kind of subtle thematic styling that you don’t have to save for halloween."

Glamour Spain December 2011

There's no stopping me now, kittens.

I'm hooked on this feline frenzy and I'm going to have to find a hat like this!

Maybe I'll steal one when I steal more jewels.

;)

Meow.

XOXO
