the power of a brush stroke
who? danny roberts.
what? fashion drawer, i love the (yes, you guessed it) color that he puts into his work and the very interesting, almost abstract twist that he gives the models in his paintings. he inspires me, this could be something that i could really see myself doing.
gwen stefani? he also did a collection with gwen stefani and her brand, harijuku lovers.

in one ear and out the other.
who? cage the elephant
what? great music, totally unique, folkish. i have never heard anything like it.
my favorite song? in one ear.
i am completely addicted to them, could probably listen to them for 24 hours straight.

there are no words.
as in the title, there are no words to describe my speechless and gleeful amazement at this line of clothing. vibrant, eclectic, pop, perfection, all words that come to mind when you set eyes on this line of clothing. i would really like to have every piece in this collection in my closet...now.

tonight, i went for a walk.
not to any particular place, nor with any particular purpose, just a meander through my thoughts and fresh air along the ridge, with no phone or ipod, simply in sweats and an old t-shirt.
i have decided that i should go for a walk every night. it is so easy to find yourself always doing something, moving through every second of the day with such purpose and focus. it's exhausting, really. it is a breath of fresh air (literally) to simply drop everything and spare yourself a few guilty minutes of sweet nothingness; to breathe in the clean and cool air around you and simply marvel at the enormous and overwhelming world.
people so often, too often, get caught in their own small, cramped box and suffocate in their own seemingly apocalyptic problems and woes. you need to step outside of this tiny box, into the wide open space that is the entire world and, for a change, become an observer, the reader of the book rather than the writer. observe the tall, wise pine trees and the sound of tiny, innocent chickadees chirping their harmonious tunes. observe the pastel pink, delicate cherry blossoms blooming and releasing a sweet and airy scent or the deep green grass sprouting shyly out of the just thawed soil. just sit back and observe. drop your problems and tasks and step out of your busy life, if only for a moment. allow yourself a chance to break the surface of the water and take a much needed breath.
