Love is...

And me, I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for, cause it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something, and if you find that moment it lasts forever.

-The Beach

Truly this is a weekend of love, and what do I love?

Sunlight pouring through, kissing your face and bathing its glow throughout the entire room

Garden-inspired dresses

An American in Paris film

Balloons in the sky

Sitting under a big willow tree with a book in your lap... my grandmother used to have these two great willow trees in the front yard with a big swing underneath in her previous home and a small forest in the backyard... it was my escape to my own little world. I'll never forget those summer days I spent when I was a child there.

Jane Austen's works - i remember from somewhere that mentions how in her own life, she was not able to find her own happy ending, but that her characters in her novels she would give them that love and such beautiful endings that would make up her own.

Lace

Jasmine tea

Treehouses. My grandmother's neighbor had a huge one with a latch in the bottom of the room and slides, a bridge, and on the wooden front door, we painted "Our Club" on it. Adventures never ceased there.

Beautiful big open windows with white curtains being lifted from the breeze and the scent of lavender surrounds you on a summer's day

Bright Star

Going on a hot air balloon and having a picnic there

White chocolate

The English countryside

By the seaside in a white cottage

Painting with watercolors

Paris...

The sound of a cello against the melodic keys of the piano

Flowers in beautiful vases

When a guy has an accent...(it melts my heart, and I don't think I'm the only one who agrees)

Delicate perfume bottles (i've kept all of the ones I had)

Beautiful old journals

Old- fashioned feather pens with ink bottles

Walking along the boardwalk near the Harbourfront on a bright and clear day and watch ships sail by.

Letters.

Dancing badly (on my part). I get so blissfully giddy when I do that with someone I love.

Midnight chats with friends

Beautiful ballet-inspired dresses

Seashells and hanging them up with satin ribbons

Going to the art gallery and stand among the greats and their proof of the extraordinary.

So here you go, a glimpse of what I love, what are yours? I'd love to know!

Take care and that's all for now, ciao!

Though the fields lay golden, something whispered, -"Snow."

I am a dead poet

That speaks without words,
That listens without sounds.
Speak to me and I will not hear,
For I am a dead poet that knows no bound.

Bonjour all!

It indeed has been busy these crazy ! Not to mention examinations is approaching me... hope I can come out by the 15th sane and alive!

The weather does seem to whisper rumors of the winter to come. Trees baring all to expose their stance during the harsh days of cold.

All the more to cozy up to hot apple cider and curl up beside a deep-seated couch by the fireplace at one of the colleges in my university. I shall try to take more beautiful pictures of it, it's really got the feel of Oxford and of course, Hogwarts.

A bit of delight:

Erin Fetherston and the short films she makes.

Zooey Deschanel.

Letters and postcards from abroad- hoping to do an exchange of fellow voyagers of the world if interested in sending thoughtful/lovely letters amongst one another! Anyone interested, let me know!

Have some of these around, these old fashioned tags and whatnots, think they're quite lovely

Sophia Coppola films

Fine art and art history

Fascination of the explorations and research of the Arctic

Ballerina flats

The color of gold and Bordeaux, as well as blue

Books

Perfume and perfume bottles ( i collect the ones I've had)

Here is one of my favorite short films by Erin Fetherson I would like to share, its very fun and charming.

That's all for now, ciao!
