a moment of bliss // poetry

cashmere sweater

and a messy bun

laying in bed.

pillows

surround me,

sunlight drifting

through the curtain,

reading 

not comprehending.

staring at the

particles of dust

in the glittering

shaft of light.

the echo of 

a lawnmower 

blocks away

drowning in 

october warmth.

imagine a

silence

at the edge 

of a dream,

that sunday 

afternoon haze

surrounds me

as the sun 

floats 

behind a cloud,

I sleep.

My bed and a out-of-the-blue poem.

Well. it's been a while. so here's what's been going on.

So I'm just going to skip my many reasons for not posting...unless somebody reallyyy wants to hear about all of my homework-which I can't seem to get done anyways.

I'm going to try not to post very much so that I have more things to post later.

So these are all from this weekend, when my whole family and tons of family friends all went up to my grandparent's house a few hours away. In my family there is this 150 or so year old apple cider press, so every year we pick apples and make gallons and gallons of cider! It was really fun but my 2 cousins each brought 3 friends, so I didn't get to hang out with them. Luckily, one of my very bestest friends Siena was in town and so we hung out the whole time. I haven't gotten to see her very much since we moved back to Colorado, so it was great to talk to her. We also went to the diner there, which I loveee, but I'm not going to post those yet because of the for-mentioned reason.

Wow, this is tough...but that's going to be all for today. I'm going to make some drafts of upcoming posts though. So you have something to look forward to.

Lady of the Desert

Photos I took this weekend about an hour away from where I live.

The skies are so big around here...as boring as it may be it sure is beautiful! 

(Durango, where I live, is actually right on the border between desert and mountains so it looks a lot different than the above)

My dad suggested we do some photo shoots with my sister's new dress that we found in an antique store. 

I especially like my pictures of the highway...but which edit? The last of the three is the original.

I haven't been posting solely because of the lack of time I seem to be having lately. 

I am currently watching New girl and searching Etsy for pea coats and detachable collars.

Yeaaaa

~Fall Vibes~

You know, just some ~vibes~ 

All pictures are from tumblr except the last one, which I took last year in Berlin

...I know some of the sources but I"m too lazy at the moment and should be doing homework.

I"m depressed looking at some of your photos because none of my friends here read Rookie (even though I told them about it it's not the same you know? They don't really get it.). They are some girls at school that look like ~Rookies~ and wear peter pan collars and grandma skirts but I don't really want to just go up to them and be all "Hey gurl I like your shoes. Just wondering, do you read Rookie?" because I don't even know if they are in my grade and argggg why is life so hard this is such a long sentence but oh well what do you lovelies think? 

But really, I haven't taken any pictures of anyone besides my little sister and her friends in like 3 months.

I take that back, today Clare and Lily and I ate lunch in a tree by school and I took some pictures with my disposable.

Still. 

And everybody thinks that my style is just a German thing and I'm like "NO okay look there are other people in the U.S. that where tights under shorts okay? OKAY?"

So I'm sortaaa freaking out.

What to do, what to do.
