the girl i mean to be


i talked about cupcakes and cashmere last week – the nails. i’d like to talk about it a bit more. and. also.  two new blogs i’ve discovered, thanks to cupcakes. heart of light. and. rockstar diaries.  click click, please.

i will admit that i am smitten. with these women. these blogging women…
it seems to me that they live life beautifully… or that they make the lives they live beautiful? which is becoming more and more important to me. i’ve always been interested in beauty and aesthetics… but most of that interest was filtered and focused onto particular endeavors. you know. your ‘painting’, your ’fashion’, your ‘creating of images’…  but what of the day to day beautiful? and i don’t mean putting on a face-full of makeup.  obviously. i mean dressing and living and eating and drinking beautifully because WHY NOT?! i have the capacity! why not live beautifully? it takes more energy, sure, than throwing on sweat pants and eating noodles (which i will never stop doing completely, don’t worry). but! ugh! agh! blarg! feelings.

there were these two adds in vogue’s september issue:


and maybe they’re cheesy. (probably they are cheesy…) but they’re also, actually, rather wise. and i am trying. to listen to them. to remember. to be.

and just to get specific on up in there for you… go see some of the things i love most. in these bloggerwomen’s blogs.

emily’s office.
emily’s five things.

rachel’s flowers.
rachel’s licorice.

taza’s family.
taza’s iphone.

and, here’s a little bit of the beauty around here. lately. and. montreal this weekend!!!
