Whoa, started to spell "doll" as 'dall' -- Where is my mind?

Also, I moved to NYC a day shy of 3 weeks ago.  I meant to start this blog project where I post a picture and paragraph every day so that I can look back a year or two from now (assuming I'm still living here) and be like "Oh. Wow. #impressed" because my life will have presumably improved tremendously.  But I've kind of planned for that to happen for the past few years and well, *Welp,* so maybe a blog will help push things into gear?? Or at least make me not lazy.

---Also, Very Important---: I stalled on blogging here as well since I meant to make an epic Boyhood post, as I was so inspired by it and saw the movie three times in theatres (meant to more)... I was gonna compile all of my favorite links, photos, and quotes (namely via Ethan Hawke and Ellar Coltrane even tho Rick is like my God) but I got subconsciously too overwhelmed and was fairly irl busy so the two combined didn't really amount to any external expression.  It's all still inside... <3 br="">

“I’m just sick of ego, ego, ego. My own and everybody else’s. I’m sick of everybody that wants to get somewhere, do something distinguished and all, be somebody interesting. It’s disgusting.”

My brother came over tonight and was talking to my mom about his plans to move to nyc for college in business administration and finance and how his friend just graduated nyu and is probably going to be working on wall street (said so casually) blah blah blah. I wanted to barf.

Hopefully, when I look back on this post in the future I will be like lol it's okay, I made it.  Got to find my tribe.

It's weird that my life is like this, I'm 26 for godsake

Gonna go watch Orange is the New Black.

Evening of Dreams

Tonight my favorite yoga teacher was telling us about the highlight of her weekend, this event that she volunteered at called Evening of Dreams.  Wow, it was so inspiring.  She talked about how throughout the prom, people's inhibitions and self doubt started to evaporate and that by the end of the night you couldn't really tell who was serving who.  Unconditional love and compassion are so important and something exciting to open oneself up to more.

AMAZEBALLS CHLOE

So tonight I found proof that fashion could have kind of stopped in the 60's..... Thanks to the glory of pinterest, I discovered these incredible dresses that still look completely modern and even ahead of time right now.  I think it's the really sublime, innovative textile implementation.

FAVORITE FISH.

So today at work we were working on the new window, ocean-themed, and I was handed the assignment of decorating these fish my coworker had already cut out of cardboard and applied construction paper over. Of course I took the opportunity to utilize the internet and then "tropical fish" google images blew my mind and I was in super autistic tendancies-mode of fascination. So here they are, Here are some of the coolest fish on the Planet!!! Want to watch Finding Nemo now and pretend I'm in Australia/somewhere cool and oceany and exotic!  Or Finding Nemo but with the fish even more detailed and busy like these. (I was amazed, always kind of think of fish as a bit 'meh' or the typical few cool ones that you always see/weird ocean floor plants/jellyfish)... but these are so inspirational!

SERIOUSLY, IF YOU'RE IN A BAD MOOD, JUST GOOGLE TROPICAL FISH!!!! IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER AND REEL IN THE WORLD'S AMAZEMENT! Or just look at mine here because CLEARLY I've posted the best ones hehe!

New Old Photographers

...That I am learning about.

I came across these photographers this weekend while surfing the internet, namely Pinterest and can I say I am ever-so-thankful?  I truly love what they do, ESPECIALLY William Eggleston.  Then I found out he has a connection with Harmony Korine, probably my idol, and I just died.  It makes sense though, pretty much everyone different and cool comes from the South.  Anyway, here are the three dudes that I am so excited to have discovered and want to continue to be inspired by:

-William Eggleston
-Steven Siegel
-Walter Pfeiffer
