♥ bunny ears.

source.

instead of painting eggs and hunting for hidden candy,

i wouldn't mind sporting a pair of these glamorous bunny ears

and hopping around the house on easter.

♥ there is an enchanted garden in childhood..

.. where colors are brighter, the air softer,

and the morning more fragrant than ever again.

if i were given the chance to be fifteen all over again, i would have to say, "thanks, but no thanks. once was good enough for me!" because, for those of you who didn't know me then––

i was blonde,( yes, blonde), always brightly dressed, and so very awkward.

i didn't know how to be "normal" let alone cool, so please excuse me for wishing that if i were able to do my teenage years all over again, i would somehow come back as fabulous as 15 year old photographer, olivia grace bolles (aka olivia bee).

olivia bee's photography captures the true american teen spirit. skillfully blending a childlike sense of wonder with a mature way of looking at the world, ms. bee's photos tell a story better than any words could tell. stories that are haunting yet familiar, ordinary yet extrodinary. stories through a young girl's eyes of family, friends and first loves that will leave you feeling nostalgic for the days when you towed the fine line between childhood and adulthood.

featured in publications from seventeen to american photo and ads for nike and converse, olivia bee's work is brimming with potential, and with only fifteen years under her already fabulous belt, i should think that the sky is the limit for this busy ms. bee.

♥ a wedge issue.

via jak & jil.

it has been years since i have worn a pair of wedges, and i believe that this year it is time to put an end to this self induced act of self deprivation.

"why would i give up wedge sandals and shoes?" you might ask.

"they are so much more comfortable to walk in than heels," you might say.

"they add height but the sloping effect makes your foot look smaller," you may add.

and to each of these comments, i would have to nod my head in agreement, but play the one card that trumps all of these statements: and that is, the boyfriend card. he hates them!

he says they make women look trashy and inordinately tall. and for the longest time, i have sort of agreed, but with the recent resurgence of fabulous wedges in every color, size, shape, not to mention the fact that they are now toeless, and strappy and studded, and still so much easier to walk in (on cobblestones especially) i have to agree with r. kelly when he says,

"my mind is telling me no. but my body, my body's telling me yes," because this spring, everything in my being is saying yes to wedges.

yes.

yes.

HELL YES.

do you ever choose to wear something even after people (whose opinion is important to you)

tell you that they don't like it? is it more important for you to feel true to yourself or for you to feel like you look good to your significant other?
