..cold days are best in cozy knits with hot chocolate in hand..

..you make me blush..
..black leather is so versatile and quite appropriate for any occasion. I love how special this one is because of the laced up details and when you pair black and pink, it softens up your entire look and adds some sort of romance. thanks so much for reading, until the next post..
xx – Valentine.

little WHITE LIE
…learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist… – pablo picasso
(Wear white after labor day. What it comes down to is choosing the right fabric for the changing seasons. Summer ends and so comes fall and the winter knight. Go to white wools, cashmeres and down-filled parkas when the wind hits and the snow falls.)

..autumn teasing
It’s strange that Autumn is so beautiful, yet everything is dying. But so we wait for only two times of the year, Fall and waiting for Fall. As it is not quite here but teasing ever so; the little howls of crisp, cool air.

Cruella
…And she used to be the sweetest girl. But then she tasted lips of the sad and lonely, sipped from the soul less rims of beer bottles and she couldn’t take much more. With the handbook torn in two and having learned “they’re all lies, darling”, she put on those red lips and took some wine sips. for she aged wise at a quarter of a century and found grace in lonely humans and their sky high tales…
