optimism

love and Friendship

Me and some special girls are going away to New York in a little more than a week. I am so excited. So excited. So excited.

“Friends are like potatoes, when you eat them they die” – (all from) we heart it. And yes, there was a Now and Then throwback in there. Awesome.

Frank decisions

Whenever I walk down the street I pass a magazine shop that carries international issues of all of my lovely indulgences like Lula, Vogue, and Frankie. Lately though (slowly in the last 3 years), my sweet Frankie has been disappearing from shop shelves and giving me a sad face whenever I optimistically try to buy one. Sick of the tease I decided to give myself a VERY early birthday present and finally subscribe. Ah, wonder. Looking forward to seeing you soon my aqueous coated sarcastic cutey of a friend (that always brings me an art poster!).

Also, I am really digging jars right now. I was at a party thrown by a stylish man who had clear jars everywhere holding candles and drinks. That was maybe a year ago? Yeah it kind of affected me, it was so pretty. So I began saving them last week, I have 4 so far. Yay. (First photo via a man’s Flickr all of the rest from weheartit.

Pay it Forward

Not only is this an amazing concept, it is also a cry-your-face-off-good movie. So, in the theme of paying it forward and bringing more positivity to the world, and Random Act of Kindness Day… here is a list from The Halfway Point (choosing positivity) about 50 Simple Ways to pay it forward. If you don’t know what paying it forward means: You help three people. You help them in a significant way, in a way that they can’t even help themselves. In return, you ask only for them to pay it forward and have them help 3 other people, etc, etc. Pictures via weheartit.
