When I am with you, we stay up all night. When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep.
Praise God for these two insomnias! And the difference between them.
The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.
We are the mirror as well as the face in...

i have recent come to the conclusion that i need a big girl bag. i’ve never cared much for bags; my philosophy on expenses has always been “if i can’t afford it, don’t care about it” (see post about mani-pedis. also: hair coloring, waxing, designer shoes). it was a fairly big deal to get my longchamp a few years ago…but now i want a Serious Bag.
requirements: •...

things i have heard or read at one point in life and accepted as gospel:

went to TJ maxx (tyson’s) over lunch yesterday, and they had a bunch of these nine west shoes - only $40…

confession friday...
