last sunday, i was a peach girl.
i know it's officially summer when the supermarket is full of sweet peaches, nectarines, and plums.
lately, i've been immersed in music creating, listening, and mixing.
i have been at a loss for words these days.
♥ ♥ ♥
for a future road trip this weekend, matt and i made a giant playlist to an 'ode to 80s power pop/rock songs' for our drive. here is a little sample of some of them:
van halen - dreams
stan bush - the touch
bonnie tyler - i need a hero
night ranger - when you close your eyes
irene cara - what a feeling
ice house - electric blue
starship - nothing's going to stop us now
carefully curated of course, only songs that have an appealing type of motivating feel to them.
♥ ♥ ♥
perhaps, we indulge in these cheesy 80s songs because they came from our childhood time period when everything seemed hopeful and "big" in america. how seemingly appropriate considering it will be july 4th soon! or maybe we're just being typical nostalgic us...
yes, it must be that.
"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower." ~Hans Christian Andersen
on saturday, matt and i wanted to visit a new garden
however, nothing seemed to be going our way...
it was a troublesome day.
everything kept breaking, so our hearts bled more..
and the more it bled, the more we needed to get out and explore.
we decided to take a familiar trip to the cemetery near his house.
this is where i was able to capture the beautiful monarch butterfly above.
perhaps it was a winged spiritual messenger,
sending us love,
to remind us that everything will be...
all will be right with this world.
a weekend of wonders to the tune of slow dive - when the sun hits ♡ ♡ ♡

i met a lovely flower girl recently, dear friend alice saga ♥
she is full of whimsy and everything sweet!!
in nyc, we ate japanese curry comfort food to begin our first meet,
then off to the cat cafe and looking at frilly dresses! ^__^ a day full of cuteness~
but when alice began her adventure to nj,
this is when the magic begins!
she found treasures to bring home with her at my favorite shops.
it was if, those books belonged to her.
how easily it was found!
and then we wandered on to a beautiful picnic~
us girls among the flowers in the secret garden
sharing our stories and inspirations,
&
finding out about our likeness and similarities.
much synchronicities unveiled that day,
and i kept them close to my heart,
turning into precious memories.
i will miss you, come back soon! ♥ ♥
