letter: dear knees

thank you for letting me bruise you
between bikes and boys.
forgive me for being clumsy and naive.
but i promise knitted legwarmers
and gooseflesh from kisses
from those who fall for me, for us.

taste: london eats

a few snaps of my grub
when i was recently away...

oh, p.s. i got to eat at jamie's
(but it was so good & i was too happy to eat there
i didn't take any photos...)

love: tights

'tis the season for tights!
one of the many reasons autum is awesome.
when i was in london, i hit up PRIMARK
and bought myself tons of tights in all
colours and patterns for an amazing
98 pence to 1 pound a pair!
friggin brilliant, right?!
as brilliant as NADINOO!

see: peeks of red

i think of fall
when i think of
apple reds...

hear: dakota

by stereophonics.



just got back from the UK.
thought i would post an old stereophonics hit,
one of my absolute favourites,
while i wait for my photos to upload
on my computer.

anyway, there's something about this song...

"Wake up cold coffee and juice
Remembering you
What happened to you?
I wonder if we'll meet again
Talk about us instead
Talk about why did it end

You made me feel like the one
Made me feel like the one"

apologies: it has been forever

but i am still away
enjoying sweater weather
in london.

i have so much to tell
and show you.

i've managed to get some beautiful
snaps despite my lack of
photography skills yesterday
at the portobello market in notting hill
and spitalfields market as well.

anyway, i will be back soon.
and i promise, i will post a pretty
post with pictures and all!

hear: say hello

let's say hello to september.

summer came and went so fast.
and since my last post:
i've assembled a bedframe,
gone to the zoo
(i got to pet stingrays!)
attended a beautiful, and oh so glamorous wedding
(complete with a photobooth!),
as well as a surprise engagement party,
where we also found out that our
girlfriend who tied the knot last year
is now a mommy-to-be at three months!

it was a lovely season.
and though gone are the sun-drenched days
that seem to go on forever
and the sun now sleeps earlier and earlier,
i hope the fall promises things that are just as lovely.
i kick it off in london, then the big apple
so really, how can it not be lovely?

and now, for some rosie thomas and sufjan stevens cover
(the most adorable of them all!) ...



would he hold me
and never let me go...
would he let me borrow his old winter coat...

london!

i get to go to the uk
mid-september
for 2 weeks
on business.

though it means i am going to
be swamped with work
as we take on a new project
i am so excited to go...

topshop!

(if only i can use the corporate
credit card for shopping...)

love: cozy autumn days...

are something to look forward to
as summer's end draws near.

i noticed this morning that the maple trees
in my neighborhood are starting to
have tinges of red and orange.

don't these images from toast.uk's catalogue
make you feel... well... toasty?

see: white champagne

around here, mornings seem too early
cherries have become scarce
sleep comes reluctantly
old age is more palpable
souls are going up to somewhere i hope is 'heaven'
(and i can only wish to be more clairvoyant)...

i also finished reading
the time traveler's wife.
(what a beautiful book).

don't ask me why,
but all of these things make me think
of the palest champagne and muted white.
