Across the Universe

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

For some reason, I’m suddenly intrigued by the cosmos and the universe…and Christopher Kane Resort 2011 collection…Photograhy by Lahoz and BrockingtonMotel Cosmic Sweetheart Dress $58.00 (Nastygal Vintage)Christopher Kane Resort 2011 dress, Random Blazer and tights I found on Tumblr.Want that blanket right now!

And I want to share this moving quote from the Astronomer Carl Sagan’s wife:

“Carl faced his death with unflagging courage & never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don’t ever expect to be reunited with Carl. But, the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief & precious life is. We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting. Every single moment that we were alive & we were together was miraculous — not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance… That pure chance could be so generous & so kind… That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space & the immensity of time… That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me & it’s much more meaningful…

The way he treated me & the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other & our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don’t think I’ll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.”

It touched my heart when I read it because I also want to be with one person, just cherishing every moment together forever….ah, one day, I’ll find him.

Wishing you an endless Saturday…! xoxoxoxoxoxo

Shop with me

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

I went grocery shopping yesterday and I noticed that most people are either in tank tops and shorts or in sweatpants with flip flops. I think being in comfortable clothing is important when you’re going from isle to isle picking out frozen foods, grabbing fruits and vegetables and waiting in long lines. So usually, I like to wear a dress with flats or loose tops with denim shorts. But I do like to look put together when I go out, even just to grab a coffee. Who knows? You might run into a cute stranger 🙂1. Topshop White Broderie Lace Trim Vest $55.00 2. Cachrel shorts Blue $275.00 (matchesfashion.com) 3. Kurt Geiger Loren Red Shoes $155.00 4.
