life lately.

wish lanterns, girls nights and takeout, amazing spring sunsets, prom. it's been a good two weeks and i'm happy that i've gotten most of it on camera. i also won three students emmys but i don't have that on camera. however, i did treat prom as my after party. when it rains, it pours, but luckily this is good and crazy rain.

a portrait of wednesday.

"she wanted to crawl into his pocket and be safe forever." -f. scott fitzgerald

i actually had to double check that today was indeed wednesday when i made the post title. wednesday looks like spring sunsets even though the ground is still blanketed in snow. wednesday looks like unfinished instagram walls. wednesday looks like acoustic taylor swift. wednesday looks like sitting in my bedroom with only one lamp on to enjoy all of the above.

on being alive.

on fernweh, carlotta posed this question:

and it really made me think.

-laying in a field of daisies that literally went as far as the eye could see-

-being in the open air five hundred feet above long beach island-

-running through the rain and ducking into a small coffee shop on portobello road-

-tie dying until our hands were purple and our feet were muddy-

-dancing to live reggae music in the tiniest little gallery space-

-plunging into an ice cold river with the sun streaming down-

-that 38 minute flight from new york to boston-

there's something spectacular

that comes out of being alive,

not being the past and not being the future.

there is no past or future.

it's just you and now and here.

my incredibly talented best friend wrote these words for a video project and i can't think of a better way to say it.

maine.

it makes perfect sense to me, but i realize the first picture of the cat is really irrelevant to this post. except it's not really. this is my week in four pictures. i love the mountains.

confessions of a scarfaholic

so i jumped on the scarf bandwagon a while ago and it's the best jump i've ever made. one cannot have too many scarves, of that i am certain. but they are so. expensive. which is really kind of dumb because they're either a) fabric or b) yarn. and i'm paying upwards of $20 for that?

solution: joann's fabrics. raid the clearance fabrics and buy half a yard. that gold striped fabric? $1.50. that's a $1.50 scarf. okay, so you need minimal sewing machine experience, but when i say minimal i mean really, really minimal. 

also, i retaught myself how to knit. why is it so limited to old ladies? i took a class when i was in 5th grade and then i just kind of forgot how to knit but i realized that i could be making scarves. so i watched some tutorials and bam! i have a chunky cream infinity scarf coming my way. 

my total savings wasn't anything incredible, but essentially i got 3 scarves for $18. and i feel really crafty doing it. if you're on february break this week, make it a week long project. if you're not, i'm sorry, that's really unfortunate.

happy scarf obsessing.
