wanderlust.

in honor of our past 3 day weekend, i shall introduce the first of my many-to-follow wanderlust posts. travel is one of my (many) obsessions - i am controlled by finding new places and visiting new cultures and seeing new sights and eating all of their different foods...and taking hoards of pictures along the way.
today, on a semi-dreary seattle-sweater day, i would go revisit paris and all of its cafe glory.


i would go on a late summer/early fall day.


i would slip into my paris ensemble, purchased especially for my trip.


i would sit in the cutest streetside cafe.

i would have this for my first meal, because i am obsessed with parisian salads.

i would fill a plate with macarons because...well, because.

i would finish my dessert and immediately go out and buy her outfit.


i would take the metro to the Champ de Mars.


i would gaze at the evening glory of the tour eiffel.


i would spend a day (or three) in disneyland paris, because it is yet another of my obsessions.


i would walk for days on random streets.

i would visit Versailles and ponder, yet again, ways i can work pink marble into my home.

i would go to the louvre for, at least, two days.

i would buy another bunch of macarons, because pink stops me in my tracks.

i would end my trip with loud music and overly frilly dresses at the moulin rouge.


i would take one last ride on the metro and make my way home....

beginning day...

who doesn't love the lovely. ?

my opening post shall be a li'l bit o' me so you can see what i like, what i love, and what i think is absolutely lovely.


the prettiness of bedrooms.

















stuff made into stuff.

















always a fan of splatterings.



















open spaces.


















inviting entrances.


















they're years younger and occationally wear diaper-looking attire, but, God help me - i love 'em.













wildflowers in makeshift vases.














swimmin' pretty.











shoes [period]














stacks and stacks of books.


















this is just a teeny sampling of what i love...but i shall save it for later.

enjoy.
