Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do you ever just search 'beautiful' to see what you come up with? I do....

There we were. like we never have been and never will be again. Just you and me and the summer breeze.

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.~G. B.Shaw

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. ~Fr. Alfred D'Souza
*"do not outlive yourself".... I fucking LOVE THAT!!! I JUST FOUND THAT QUOTE TODAY AND I AM IN. LOVE.

There's a difference between beauty and charm. A beautiful woman is one I notice. A charming woman is one who notices me. ~John Erskine

I was at a friends house "doing homework" when the show 'Plain Jane" came on. Due to my weakness for reality fashion tv I started to watch and I fell in love with the host. Louise Roe is about the most stylish and beautiful person ever. SO we continue with my "girls I want to be".... Louise Roe.FYI I guess she is also the newest member of The City. That tells you haw much I really watch TV. I had no idea.

“And she's sexy as hell.”

Have you seen Lindsay Lohan's new line 6126? I have to say ... I am sorta digging it. Yes, I know she is still in jail and this is not likely the most socially acceptable topic when one is in jail, but the girl has style. What can I say?

PS totally buying the knee high boots... maybe with no heal. ( So I don't look like a hooker.) Sometimes I wish I lived in LA and could rock this.

"We are like chameleons, we take our hue and the color of our moral character, from those who are around us." John Locke

Seriously can this girl get any cuter. I just love her style.

“I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.”J. D. Salinger quotes

NOTE to SELF. FIND THE TIME.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. ~C.S

Headed to Seattle this weekend for a girls weekend! I can not wait!
