"the real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes, or just staring into space" -marilyn monroe

it's been a lovely, calm, rainy day in athens. i'm sitting in our newly decorated den listening to billie holiday feeling quite content. some good mood pics to follow...

we need this for mell st.

just some happy monday thoughts to start off the week!

haha and my frineds on the car ride back to athens this weekend for a laugh...

obsessing over Lady Antebellum's we owned the night album right now.

"i am one of the searchers. there are, i believe, million of us. we are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. we continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. we continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. we like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, it unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. we like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. to share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. we searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide." - james kavanaugh (via thefreenomad)

call me cheesy... to my valentine, i love you and i miss you.

just sending some Valentine's love. i love this holiday so much!

happy happy valentine's day! hope your day is full of lots of love. xoxo.

there are no words. no one can do it like whitney can. rest in peace.

let the creative juices flow....

the story of my past four days.... a little cab. red velvet cupcakes and indigo girls for my saturday night. been sick and can't go out, so blogging, pinning, hopefully painting and watching mad men (and maybe getting a little tipsy on my own, i blame trader joes).

god he is sexy.

happy weekend. happy happiness. happy being beautiful.

oh and here's to lots and lots of pink. everywhere.

HAPPY FEBRUARY!! i love february and i love new months. looking forward to a busy yet hopefully relaxing month, power yoga classes at the gym and of course some valentines desserts. so here's to the month dedicated to love!
