they'll name a city after us




Ray Ban Clubmaster sunglasses via smartbuyglasses.de

being back home feels a lot like crawling back into a cocoon you left a long time ago. it is a place where time seems to stand still or at least goes a little slower, it is that castle on the cliffs that will always stand there, no matter how hard the waves are crashing, trying to bring it down to the ocean bed.
there is the garden alcove that I spent most summer nights in, reading a thousand pages, falling asleep seduced by the rich air that always smelled of orange blossom and lavender and then waking up in the morning from the scent of coffee someone made, tiptapping my way into the house for breakfasts of blueberry porridge with french chansons playing and little love notes on the table that my dad writes to my mother until today.

...und Ich freue mich schon sehr darauf, dass ich diesen Kokon bald erstmalig auf Dauer verlassen kann! Aber es tut gut zu wissen, dass man immer wieder nach Hause zurück kann.
Dein Outfit gefällt mir übrigens auch sehr gut :)

thanks for your comments, you sweet people you! :)
my lipstick is l'oreal's 'rouge caresse' in 'cheeky magenta'.

..and the top is from good old h&m.
I actually had an identical one that I found at a fleamarket for 1 euro, but I had to leave it in paris amongst other things because my luggage got too heavy. some months later I got a little hysterical about finding its twin at my local swede. :)

for some reason you remind me of galadriel from the lord of the rings so much! that's a good thing :D

Isabelle said...

haha, I completely get the compliment, in fact I think it is one of the best ons I've ever gotten- I'm sold on anything middle-earth! :)
