 Free People's January catalogue is out and it is beyond cool. It makes me want to put some flowers in my hair, hop on my bike, and buy a baguette ASAP. It also makes me wish for spring and summer so i can bare my colorless legs.  I love the idea of wearing dresses while bike riding instead of the usual workout gear. What do you wear when biking? Here are some of the stunning photographs with equally stunning outfits.

my wonderful time in san francisco is up and while i am very sad to be leaving i'm excited to head back to tacoma and see my friends again. this mixture of emotions is always very confusing but i know once i'm back at school and i start getting busy again i won't have time to think about how much i wish i was home. i also have the fantastic memories of this break to remind me that i'll be home soon enough, san francisco is always waiting for me.

showtime: 2 days in New York

Via

being under the weather lately i've had no desire for human interaction or going outside my room. so to pass the time i've sat in my bed watching netflix to my heart's content. i've watched a lot of really good movies one in particular is 2 days in New York it had me laughing the whole time. it's about a couple Marion (Julie Delpy) and Mingus (Chris Rock) who live in New York and Marion's french family: crazy dad, super extroverted sister Rose, and Rose's insensitive boyfriend- also Marion's ex come to visit from Paris. When the family comes to visit things go from bad to worse for Marion and Mingus putting a strain on their relationship. This is a really funny film that showcases the dysfunctionality of families but in the end you always love one another. 



Some of my favorite moments include:

•  Mingus having multiple conversations with a life size cutout Obama. 
• Mingus and his sister having to explain to his 12 year old daughter that Manu was not buying pot, he was buying grass from Central Park as a souvenir. 
• Any conversation with Marion's dad trying to speak english

there are very few times when i love an entire album. usually i end up buying a few songs but with of monsters and men's album my head is an animal i love every song. at times they pump me up for the day or other times they lull me to sleep. they're an icelandic band that has had rapid success and has quickly become one of my favorites. careful you'll probably fall in love. 

memories

this past weekend i lost all of my photos & music since 2008ish, my laptop went crazy and had to be reformatted. the most frustrating part was losing the photos from a trip my family took to Europe for my 15th birthday. losing those photos is almost like erasing them from my life. so the lesson i learned is to backup and store everything in an external hardrive, so that the next time my computer crashes i won't have to worry about all my favorite memories being erased. 

another thing i did this weekend was go on a 5 mile hike/walk with my sister & dog. it was nice to just put away the electronics and just walk around and chat. it was a dark & cold day that eventually led to getting somewhat lost in the rain.
