Celine: You know what? Reality and love are almost contradictory for me.
Celine: It's funny... Every single of my ex-es... they're now married! Men go out with me, we break up, and then they get married! And later they call me to thank me for teaching them what love is, and... that I taught them to care and respect women!
Jesse: I think I'm one of those guys.
Celine: You know, I want to kill them! Why didn't they ask me to marry them? I would have said "No!", but at least they could have asked!!! But it's my fault, I know that it's my fault, because... I never felt it was the right man. Never! But what does it mean the right man? The love of your life? The concept is absurd. The idea that we can only be complete with another person is... EVIL! Right?!
Jesse: Can I talk?
Celine: You know, I guess I've been heart broken too many times, and then I recovered. So now, you know, from the start, I make no effort. Because I know it's not going to work out, I know it's not going to work out...
Jesse: You can't do that. You can't do that. You can't live your life trying to avoid pain.
Sanibel Island is my family's long-time vacation spot. Was just dreaming about the sea today so I thought I'd pull some old (2012) photos from the last time I was there.
My sister (a Pisces) makin a necklace outta seaweed. Typical Neptunian lady.
Niece eva and my mom, the fly-est grammie of 'em all
Included this one in the bunch because I love the colors that the editing brought out. This romper is still one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe.
I'm also rocking out (very, very softly) to this tonight, which takes my mind to a dreamy waterworld:
Here's my spring wish list. I've ordered Siken's book of poetry, which I'm very excited to receive in the mail any day now. The orange lipstick and perfume are part of my current collection. The other items are purely items to dream about. I can't fathom spending $70 on a pair of underwear, but GAWD THEY'RE CUTE.
Sexy, high-waisted brief, Free People, $70
Richard Siken's collection of poetry, "Crush," $15
Mac Amplified creme Lipstick in Molange, $16, for an easy beach look with a little edge
Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche, $90
Notes: Citrus, Water Hyacinth and Jasmine Absolute, Amber, Patchouli, and Fresh Vetiver. It's worth the price. It lasts a long time and is a versatile scent, transitioning easily from day to night.
One of my favorite places to stay in South Africa is Phantom Forest Eco Reserve, just outside of Knysna. Aside from the treehouse suites and amazing, remote location that overlooks a river and lagoon, the decor is really great, as is the incorporation of outdoor elements in indoor spaces:
Here are some pieces that echo the decor of Phantom Forest:
I was shopping for spring basics today at Cliche in Uptown and discovered UNIF. It's not my typical style, but I like the 90s influence and general edginess of it.
I ended up getting this dress ...
...even though I fear that I'm going to be channeling oksana baiul.
