I haven't been this in love with a voice since Damien Rice's "O" Album. Wow.
First time, first love
Oh what feeling is this
Electricity flows
With the very first kiss
Like a break in the clouds
And the first ray of sun
I can feel it inside
Something new has begun
And it's taking control
Of my body and mind
It began when I heard I love you
For the very first time
For the very first time
This life, this love
All the sweetness I feel
So mysterious yet
So incredibly real
It's an uncharted sea
It's an unopened door
But you gotta reach out
And you gotta explore
Even though you're not sure
Till the moment arrives
There he is and you know you're in love
For the very first time
For the very first time
And baby when I met you
Every feeling I had was new
I don't think there are words
To describe the sensation
It's an uncharted sea
It's an unopened door
But you gotta reach out
And you gotta explore
And when something happens
That words can't define
Only then do you know you're in love
For the very first time
For the very first time
Earlier today, my mind was torn between buying an iPod with bigger storage and staying put with the trusty old unit I've been using for three years now. The one I have now - a 2 GB first generation Nano - can only house around 450 songs (if I un-tick the Album Artwork option).
My formula is 60% comfort, 40% play.
I gravitate towards New England prep and Brit high street on most days. My love for New England prep started five years ago. I've always been intrigued by Brit street style. I think Brits dress better than the French.
When I feel like it, I wear a tailored jacket and it caps my look.
I am not afraid of prints. Paisley is my favorite. And you know paisley's a love it or hate kind of print. Runners up are floral, plaid, gingham, stripes, and herringbone. Paul Smith would be proud.
When I'm not wearing prints, I wear black. And why not?
I am not a shoe fiend at all. I favor slides, loafers, and sneakers. Leather shoes, the pointy kind - I reserve them for the occasional dress-coded event. I should buy more shoes.
How I wish I could afford Bottega Veneta, Marc Jacobs, Lanvin, and Rick Owens. In the meantime, there's Tyler, Topman, Old Navy, J. Crew, and H&M.
No to fakes! I'd rather wear a cheap brand. If it bothers me so much, I rip the label off. I feel much better after.
I only have a couple of watches. One of which was a corporate giveaway. I do not own any jewelry. I'd play with eyewear, though. I've been drawn to nerdy frames since college.
Cost per wear is the only metric I maintain when dressing up. I'd rather wear the same things over and over than spend on singular, disposable, flash-in-the-pan fashion.
I ought to have a better relationship with the local alteration store.
I get more excited looking at trends from women's magazines. If I get inspired enough, I'd pick a female trend and make it my own. The writer in me, however, would buy the men's magazine because it is better-written. Speaking of trends, I mostly like seeing them on someone else.
How do I define best-dressed? If someone's able to put together a smashing ensemble without the aid of a stylist. Or if that person looks fly but doesn't look styled. (Then you'll know the stylist did a good job.)
The real good dressers, you find them on the streets or sometimes on The Sartorialist. Some of them are on lookbook, too. Sometimes, however, it's hard to tell if they're being editorial about it. That being said, military men in full regalia are the best dressed folk in the world.
The best-dressed celeb guy on my list is Brandon Flowers (The Killers). He had me at feathered jacket. Kanye West, more for his attitude, is second. They both look like they can to dress up without professional advice. Ladies who make the grade are Zooey Deschanel, the Olsen twins, Sienna Miller, and Jennifer Connelly.
If I had my way, I'd get me the whole LV Damier Graphite collection, but I'll be happy with a Fred Perry PVC Carry-all for now.
I should save more money and stop buying clothes. But I should buy more shoes. What should I do?
Having pegged my style as 60% comfort/40% play, I'd still say it's ambiguous, erratic, and undefined. Now that's where attitude comes handy.
Style goes beyond fashion. It's your aspirations, realizations, predictions, and predilections combined. It could be tricky. It's surely not store-bought. Everyone has one.
And it works! I feel like I built the relationship more, I felt more honest, and it helped both parties involved.
Tonight I will deprive myself of two things I do religiously everyday. See title. This is the documentation of the attempt:
What qualities must a good friend have?
Submitted by Alexandra.
The truth? I like my friends who add value to my life. those people who disagree with me and have a lot of personality. Who are open minded and do not like too much attention unless absolutely necessary. I like the men and women or are humble and can do non glamorous things and glamorous things equally at ease.
