i want to be her.

alexa chung has to be my biggest girl crush ever, with kaya very close behind in 2nd place. maybe even 1 and a half place. who knows.

 i just think she has such an awesome presence. she is one of my styler icons because she has the total glamed out in a non flashy- cool- hipster chic vibe. plus she's funny, so she has a personality too.

 and she's from London, my favorite place ever. i think we could be really good friends. just saying...

 down to party...

mad love

 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

“Effy: I went crazy when I was with you. I can’t let that happen again. Love’s not supposed to do that. You made me go mad.

Freddie: You’re making me mad now, Effy. And that’s exactly what love’s supposed to do.”

skins

Skins is my latest OBSESSiON. i just finished the 4th season. (out of 4) It's a british teen drama that is brutally honest. it is not fantasy like THE OC or Gossip Girl, which i do love those shows-- but SKiNS is raw. it cuts deep and nothing is censored. its adolescent life revolved around drugs, sex, alcohol, and fucked up life situations.

 raving scenes are guaranteed....

 Cassie & Sid are from the first generation. they were my favorite characters.

 & Effy and Freddie are from the second generation. they are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TV ROMANCE. i have a girl crush on effy and a huge crush on freddie.

 Panda & Effy.

 what i am mostly looking forward to is Skins the movie. if you watch up to the 4th season, it's a total cliff hanger and apparently they are in the process of making a movie to follow up the season and to answer unsolved question (BECAUSE ITS JUST THAT GOOD)

 hotties from both series. you will fall in love.

 & i am veryyyy iffy about this>> the US skins premieres Jan. 17th on MTV. i really hate this so far, because they took the first season and are re-doing it for American television with the same plot and everything. it seems like total bullshit. i think i would be more okay with it if they just started skins US all new storylines, new characters, and such. the original cast is impossible to replace. but i suppose i'll watch it & find out :/

 the 3rd generation of skins UK premieres January 27th, which will be all new characters again and i am bittersweet about it because i adore the old cast, but thats why i am glad they are making a movie...

here's to you.

to the dreamers...

don't ever stop believing in yourself. don't ever stop thinking big. don't take it negatively if someone thinks you're crazy for chasing your dreams. because the crazy ones change the world. the crazy ones don't just have dreams they live them. they make the world more beautiful.

 to the heartbroken...

just breathe. thats all you can do at first. if your heart aches so badly you physically hurt, just know that you are not alone. the pain will eventually go away, but you just have to carry it around with you for a while. don't stop living your life for someone who was reckless with your heart. & don't regret for having given someone your heart. you will find someone else to give it to one day.

to the depressed...

it's okay to not be okay. it's okay to not feel anything. you think "maybe i am both happy and sad at the same time but i just can't figure it out." but just know you are not worthless. and people really do actually feel that way sometimes, like your life is caving in on you and you don't want in or out. you don't want to die, but you don't necessarily want to exist either. it's not a good place to be in, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. you will be able to feel again if you don't give up. & lastly don't ever let anyone belittle you or tell you that you are making shit up. because unless they have felt this way, they have absolutely no place to judge anyone who does. 

to the artists...

don't ever stop creating. CREATE LOVE. CREATE INSPIRATION. creation is a wonderful gift. so to all artist never stop giving your talents to the world. without art, this life would be rather boring. so keep it up we need art. music. films. photos. paintings. poetry. novels. the-perfect-lyrics-for-any-given-moment. 

2011.

Well the holidays went by in a blink of an eye. I can't believe it's almost a week into the new year. 2011. 

 it's always good to reflect back on your life at the end of the year, as long as you don't get stuck in the past. so, just keep on going. recharge.every.single.day.

 i have high hopes for this year, because i've got a lot of drive and determination i did not have last year. i have a lot to say and i will find a way to speak up.

 so i've been writing a lot. poems/songs/random. and i will eventually find a way to express my unspoken diary. because this blog right here, right now is my open diary. a place i can share some of my thoughts, but nothing too personal.

 whoever you are, wherever you are, just know, you are beautiful. you are able. you are the future. live your life-change lives. be kind. always. happy new year, lets try to make this crazy world a bit better one day at a time. xo.
