stars & stripes. u.s.a. lovin'

OUR HEARTS BEAT TRUE.
STARS AND STRIPES T R E N D S.
"Fourth of July may still be a few months away, but it’s never too early to start planning your summer kick-off look! Here at the New York showroom we’ve been completely obsessed with American Flag prints lately (we even purchased two vintage American flags for the office last week). We thought it would be fun to put together an inspiration post, to commemorate the launch of the El-Carmen and Litas in flag print, both available now at NASTY GAL. The El-Carmen is now also in stock at ENVI SHOES. We’ve also included images of some of our Girls We Hated in High School bags, which will be available at LF and other retailers soon!"

inspirational quotes

You don't get to choose, you just fall .... and you get this person who is all wrong and all right at the same time. And you know that you love them so much except sometimes they just drive you completely insane and no one can explain it and the reason its so confusing is because its love. but if love didn't have any challenges, what would be the point?

Sometimes it's better to be clueless about what's happening around you, than to know every bit of information that would silently kill you.

There’s a saying that goes … ‘you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.’ Truth is, you already knew what you had, you just never thought you’d lose it.

This is failure. It’s that moment when you realize that a choice you made, or something you did, has fully changed the course of your life. But what matters even more than this truth is what you do choose to do once you know it. The tendency may be to curl up in the fetal position and wait for things to improve. But if you can somehow manage to take a breath and look around you, you might just spot another path you hadn’t seen before. It may not be easy to walk, especially the beginning. But all that really matters is that it’s there. -Sarah Dessen

When we’re incomplete, we’re always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on—series polygamy—until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter. -Tom Robbins

sweet sweet melody's of

A D E L E

her music takes me into another mind set.

here are some of my favorites. definitely relative to my life.

SOMEONE LIKE YOU
(personal top favorite, i need to post all of the lyrics for this one. its just too good.)

"I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now,
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you,
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,

You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives,
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"

Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"


ONE AND ONLY

"God only knows why it's taken me so long to let my doubts go,
You're the only one that I want,
I don't know why I'm scared,
I've been here before,
Every feeling, every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try,
To forgive your past and simply be mine"


TURNING TABLES
"No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me,
I cant give you what you think you gave me,
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables"


so thankful for ADELE's music <3 love love love
