Life needs to feel more like this.

literacy

Books of short stories you should probably be reading:

1. Dangerous Laughter by Steven Millhouse
2. The Complete Stories of Franz Kafka
3. Pretty Monsters by Kelly Link
4. The Wine of Youth by John Fante
5. Notes of a Dirty Old Man by Charles Bukowski (not exactly short stories, but you should read it all the same)

I can feel the change.

Large movements are approaching.

My vision becomes distorted.

A quiet strangeness descends.

Darkness, all consuming.

nous les amoureux

This is what endless possibilities look like.

watching, waiting

The eye is watching.
Always watching.
Always watching.
Always watching.
Always watching.
Always watching.
Always watching.

hello new friend

Marissa and I ventured to the outskirts of civilization today, aka Risom Mill Indoor Flea Market in Danielson, Connecticut.

This little baby was some of the best $3 I have ever spent.

shred

Last night at 1 am I got the great idea to give tshirt shredding a try.
It took over 3 hours and my hands still feel a little sad, but all in all, I suppose it was worth it.

into dust

Been listening to Mazzy Star's album "So Tonight That I Might See" on repeat.

1998

I have been going through old bags/boxes of clothing I had packed away at my dad's. Some of it has been packed away since high school, possibly even middle school, and as I reached my hand into a bag full of what I had assumed was all useless crap, I came out with this:

My faux fur, leopard print mini circa 1998.
Amazing.

tree bark

suede lace up ankle boots from yesstyle.com

suede sandstorm boots from madewell

 winsford clog boots from free people

Things I cannot afford due to saving up to move.

On a more positive note, I had the best week of thrifting I have probably ever had.
Highlights including a pair of eggplant, high waisted silk tap shorts, a black, mid calf length tank dress, black, high waisted trousers, a long sleeve, silk button down blouse in a tree bark print, and "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" on dvd.
On top of all that, the bf found himself a pair of perfect fitting A.P.C. jeans at goodwill.

It's just about time to clean out some of my old clothes.

I feel like the past week has drained the life out of me.

Dear Mr. Gallo,

I do not really like scary movies, but I think if I was ever in one, I would like you to play the character that I think will keep me safe, but who turns out to be the murderer, and I will never suspect you because you are so beautiful, albeit somewhat creepy.

I would also like to thank you for always looking so uncommonly intense.

Sincerely,
Lace

Oh, Alexander Wang Rocco, how I have longed for you.
Now you are mine and we shall go on many adventures.

I have said it before and I will say it again, I am an incredibly lucky girl.

Just got back from a trip to Colorado a couple days ago.
Spent the week bbqing, drinking wine, hanging out at the creek, being a skatepark lurker, and meeting all the bf's friends and family.
