The Trip

Here are some photos from our trip to Peterborough a while back! These were all taken throughout the (amazing) weekend on disposable cameras, which I think are a great addition to any road trip. enjoy.

Valentines

Girl of my week. Valentine Fillol Cordier

Minutes later you preceeded to say something that almost broke my heart

Is it possible to temporarily shut down feelings for someone to avoid a week of insanity?

I hope so.

And you search your heart

Lately I find myself staying in bed. I'm not tired, and I don't always fall back asleep. I stretch my arm out across the right side of the bed that I leave open. I can spend up to an hour like this, morning dreams racing through my mind and writing our narrative. Without realizing it, I press my lips to the inside corner of my elbow. This can go on, lips moving, stretching my other arm across to hold my own hand, but eventually I always jump out as quick as I fell in. I fear these projections of a future are interrupting my own memories; I worry I won't always be able to separate what really goes on between us and these rainy morning images, or worse, that I will begin to favor the romance I create in solitude.

find yourself a cup of tea; the teapot is behind you

Taking two weekdays to fully recover from our weekend visit to Peterborough was definitely fitting, but does it ever seem like the time has passed to retell the tale of a wondrous weekend away?While waiting on some lazy adventurers to develop the disposable cameras we made use of throughout the weekend, I thought I would post a few of the digitals we took at Lindsay's family's store. (we managed to wedge this visit in between chinese food, theatre, Philadelphia/grey gardens, a trip to the zoo, value village, a spring bbq, concert, and Alice)

I can't help but think of lovely Ms. Potts...

Lindsay's thought "I'm surprised we don't have a birdcage" was correct. I am surprised.

I wish I had of paid more attention to the poster behind this one

My favorite teacup in the antiques section.

Two Versions of Summer

Here are both Lindsay and I's idealized versions of the spring/summer to come!




(try guessing who's who. It should be quite obvious)

She changes everytime she lies across his bed

I think I always thought of myself as the victim in most of my romantic endeavors. But I'm allowing myself to figure out that when you start to daydream about things ending at the very second they begin, you sort of assign yourself that role. Though I don't want to, I keep thinking about the two that I always fall back on, and how it probably won't be that long until I'm calling them at 3am. I say that's not what I want, I know that's not what I want, but to tell the truth I'm kinda scared to let them go.

Juliet says, hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack

He's underneath the window, she's singing Hey, la, my boyfriend's back

Mondays are for...

laying in bed thinking about all the early morning calls, the sex, and how it has all got you here.

love won't play any games with me

anymore if you don't want it to.

I said I wouldn't sabotage this time.

Lets get out of this country...

With a much needed mini-break in our near future, and a $6000 osap cheque finally coming my way, I took to daydreaming about my perfect wardrobe for the anticipated weekend away. Though not all within my modest budget, we'll see what I can come up with in the next week!Here is what I would ideally be packing for the adventure:

With the trip sure to be documented, I promise to give an update as to whether any of these dream pieces came true.

When you're alone in your bed

I want to wake up to your freckled back, knowing that you will naturally turn yourself over once your eyes open. Knowing that I'm awake you'll place your arm over me, both our eyes pretending to be closed and you'll ask me if I slept.

It seems so pathetic that I'm even thinking about this.

Now all my fathers, they've gone down. true love they've been without it

Sick of the sight of my old lover

Viens petite fill' dans mon comic strip

‘Shall I love you?’ said the Swallow, who liked to come to the point at once, and the Reed made him a low bow. So he flew round and round her, touching the water with his wings, and making silver ripples. This was his courtship, and it lasted all through the summer.

You're too clean white love

if you're traveling in the north country fair

And I blindly hope you too would see me

And my Body

Even if yours covered another

Laundrette

If I ever make it home

And my key won't open the door

Once I thought my innocence was gone.

While lying in bed I keep pressing my right heel into the hollows of my left foot. The pressure and friction as I circle my ankle and embed the belly of my calf into its other, causes my body to think of you. I promenade my toes diagonally across the sheets.

Brevity is the soul of lingerie

Dorothy Parker

Lins and I both have been on a search for the perfect undergarment this past season, and with a few dazzling finds under our belts (oh puns), we find ourselves on the hunt for more. With spring creeping slowly into the picture, here are some of my bedtime inspirations and wishes for the upcoming season.

Lindsay can attest to the fact that I have been craving a variation of this last one for a few years now. Though I have found many versions throughout my vintage excursions, I regrettably am yet to commit.

The following items are all from Anthropologie.com and I am lusting after...unrequited

Daily Indulgence Bandeau $46.12

Silhouette Brief $52.71

Nadia Tap Shorts $217.41 Nadia Underpinnings $173.49-217.41

Merriweather Bra $118.59

Soft Stitches Bodysuit $162.51

Note: While I considered posting pictures of our recent finds and investments in the undergarment department, I figured I would try to maintain some mystique for sake of the boys who are lucky enough to see them in the future.
