while we go dancing toe to toe

This is not my usual style, but #1: I've listened to this song a million times already today and it's only 11 am, and #2: The video is sort of  interesting. And I figured those two reasons were reason enough to post it here on the blog. If anything just listen to the song...

or ten points if you know what greek myth this video is of.

happy saturday!

rodarte is all you need.

I always tell my mom things like "If I could choose one thing for back to school it would be..." or "I only want three things for my birthday and they are..."

And now I need to tell her "The only thing I want for Christmas is..."

Rodarte for Opening Ceremony. I mean, look at it!

Who does not want this?

and also, who does not want this skirt and/or top.

The dern things are (faux) crocodile! Of course you want them!The only problem I run into with this 'only want' thing, is I usually end up finding twenty things I 'only want' by the time Christmas and birthdays roll around. XO ROSIE

GOODBYE SUMMER.

"'How different I feel! One begins one's freshman year wild with anticipation, eager for the days to pass, radiantly happy! But one begins one's senior year with a sense of looking back, a longing to enjoy each minute to the full, a little touch of sadness.' She didn't feel at all sad but she thought that sounded good."


HELLO LAST FIRST-DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL

Italy is calling my name...

"Sunsets in Venice were twice as beautiful as ordinary sunsets because they were doubled. All the splendor of the sky - the flaming crimson, violet, and gold - was spread on the water too. And all the tender after-colors, the pastels, the fading silvers were repeated." 

-Maud Hart Lovelace, Betsy and the Great World

 

Isn't it something that just when I start setting my sights on Italy Free People goes and makes a catalog there and the very book series that I've been reading all summer travels to Venice?

Oh PS: I got my passport! It came in the mail a few days ago! But I gotta say, I don't know what country would want me to come based on my photo. It's really not the best.
