i woke up today wanting to work on my newest [fashion] collection: 

but before i do that, i always need to check out some inspiring images!

here's what woke up my imagination today...

time to start drawing!

lovin'

i'm just in love with...

one. a new trf blazer for zara, those striped ribbons  are just to die for

two. fashions night out! and fashion week - the excitement is killing me!

three. i'm on a vegetable kick: this grilled lemon butter zucchini is just delicious

four. nasty gals fall collection has dropped - as have their necklines.

five. flower crowns! flowers crowns! flower crowns!!

end of the book

i once read a book,

and it spoke of a man

who was in love with a woman

whose eyes burned with pain.

this man loved this woman

with all of his heart, 

he knew it when he saw her - 

he knew from the start.

this beloved woman's eyes

showed the hurt and the stain,

of years of neglect,

of years of disdain...

this beloved woman's eyes were not bright, full, or cheery

this beloved woman's eyes were heavy, and dreary.

i read to chapter two,

where the mans love - it grew!

he wanted to kiss her, 

to hold her so tight,

but when reached for her hand

she jumped! with a fright!

chapter three was no different,

the woman would not let him in

to her heart, to her soul,

but this man, 

he still loved her

with his being, his whole!

the man just kept trying - 

chapters four, five and six

the man did try everything!

all the gimmicks, and tricks!

but this woman was cold - 

a statue, a brick - 

this woman's heart seemed not too big, but too thick!

chapter seven, eight, nine, and ten

the man tried - 

again, and again.

chapter eleven, 

the man gave up his fight,

he loved this woman so much,

but grew groggy of the sight,

of this woman's face,

and this woman's eyes,

rejecting his love,

his heart, soul, and cries!

and on i kept reading,

through heart-ache, and sorrow!

and i finished the book,

and the book,

i did borrow...

i lent the book to a friend,

who read it and sighed,

"that book was so lovely! that book made me cry!"

i agreed - 

it was so sad!

how the two didn't end up together,

and my friend gasped! my friend shrieked!

"what do you mean! it was better

than any other love story,

or any love song!

that book - 

their love -

together, they belonged!"

for what i had read seemed like heart-ache,

and pain,

my friend showed me it wasn't!

it was life, and knowledge gained!

the man and the woman didn't end up together,

but they learned what they wanted,

out of life, love, 

through loss - 

they learned what they needed,

they learned what they craved,

through sadness

they both 

became

quite brave.

if they had ended up together, their story would be done,

but the end of that book gave them a new life, apart

the end of their love gave them both a new start...
