Hi everyone,

I will no longer be posting here as I have started a new blog:

mattandariane.blogspot.com

Please follow :)

a little update...

i am currently working on a new blog project.

stay tuned for some exciting things coming within the next few months!

i'm still alive.

just lacking time and inspiration.

it's a gray, quiet kind of day.

the kind where you just want to curl up in bed with a good book...

and that's exactly what i will be doing this afternoon!

two things that make everything better...

coat: thrifted

boots: aldo

October greeted us with a chilly day.

I've been sick these past few days.

Out of boredom, I decided to write this little list

of thing to do this Fall.

fall is just around the corner, and this year i'm really looking forward to it.
cozy knits, warm tea, nature walks and cool evenings.
there's something about it that brings back so many memories...

long walks, late night suppers, treasure hunting,

early morning swims, corn on the cob,

magic hour, long car rides, sunsets

and now back to reality...

leaving tomorrow to spend a few days

on a beautiful, quiet, little island.

my summer scent from long winter farm.

august already. where is the time going?

i'm not ready for this to end.

In the secular night you wander around

alone in your house. It's two thirty.

Everyone has deserted you,

or this is your story;

you remember it from being sixteen,

when the others were out somewhere,

having a good time,

or so you suspected,

and you had to baby-sit.

You took a large scoop of vanilla ice-cream

and filled up the glass with grape juice

and ginger ale, and put on Glenn Miller

with his big-band sound,

and lit a cigarette and blew the smoke up the chimney,

and cried for a while because you were not dancing,

and then danced, by yourself,

your mouth circled with purple.

a part of me still finds it hard to believe

that i'm lucky enough to spend the rest of my life

with my best friend

i've been sort of obsessed with triangles lately.

went exploring with matt this afternoon.

unfortunately our little adventure was cut short

because it started raining.
