future me is wearing vintage dior to ballets & operas, ordering thousands of dollars worth of la perla, and slathering herself in crème de la mer. she’s living her best life. she finds any excuse to celebrate life by drinking glasses of chilled moët & chandon rose imperial champagne while binge watching grace kelly movies. every night she drowns herself in silk bedsheets while wearing baby pink olivia von halle ‘coco’ pyjamas. there are fresh arrangements of roses (from all her admirers) & peonies (which she picked up from the farmers market) in every room. she is utterly and completely happy. i can’t wait to be her.

deathsdreamkingdom:

bernard — has “writer” on their social media bios but doesn’t actually write anything, buys too many notebooks, friendly, too talkative, terrible fashion sense, overshares everything about themselves, the kind of person who can get strangers to tell them their life story with a concerned glance, philosophical party animal, loves memes, quotes vines a lot

susan — mom friend, a little judgmental but wouldn’t admit it, nature lover, more passionate than they let on, the epitome of the “i have such a plain face oh woe no one’s going to fall in love with me” trope in young adult literature but pretty much everyone’s actually in love with them, would set themselves on fire to keep others warm, practical and sensible (secretly wishes they were less realistic), full of regrets

rhoda — introvert, sensitive, afraid of other people, daydreamer, scared of intimacy, tragic shakespeare heroine aesthetic, always feels like the filler friend, loves listening to music, overthinks a lot, achieves happiness through cancelled appointments, most people don’t know really know them (news flash they don’t really know themselves either)

neville — gay™, precious cinnamon roll too pure for this world, the artsy friend, does things for the aesthetic,  has a love-hate relationship with authority figures, sentimental, probably stans oscar wilde, idealizes other people too much, hopeless romantic, looks for meaning in the  most mundane of things (like honestly chill, sometimes a trash can is just a trash can and not a metaphor for the slow decay of society)

louis — outsider, that one friend who shares tumblr text posts about being the filler friend on facebook but is actually the one who doesn’t make any effort to know their friends oops, history nerd, secretly a softie, probably has weird hobbies that no one knows about, inferiority complex, intellectual, probably really into the dark academia aesthetic

jinny —  the life of the party, loves to dance, everyone thinks they’re shallow but they’re actually way smarter than they let on, brutally honest, beautiful and knows it, lives in the moment, life motto is probably “yolo”, has a lot of instagram followers, probably has a curated feed, classy fashion sense, done with everyone’s shit, feminist (side note i am very gay for her)

Hey, do you know that feeling of hitching up a long skirt so you don’t fall on your face when walking upstairs, and then you immediately become a wretched yet resolute Jane Austen character? It’s a universal thing, right?

It’s like resting a laundry basket against your hip and suddenly you’re a long-suffering peasant woman, wondering if you’ll survive the winter.

places i wish i was

  • on a spring picnic in a quaint english village
  • eating macaroons in a parisian boulangerie
  • sipping a pumpkin latte in a warm coffee shop on a rainy october day
  • picking blackberries on an august morning
  • at a summer evening garden party, wearing a white dress and drinking champagne
  • exploring a very old cemetery
  • in a rowboat, watching the sun rise on a misty morning
  • watching the ocean waves from a high stony ledge

How to be a Winter Princess ♡

fawningangel:

♡ Engulf yourself in satin dressing robes and pale pink, silk night dresses 

♡ Read the Russians profusely ~ Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky and Pushkin 

♡ Eat winter berries, decadent lavender macarons from Ladurée and all the gingerbread and sugar cookies that your little, winter bunny heart desires! 

♡ Twirl around your bedroom to Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite 

♡ Wear your favourite soft, blush pink evening dress and go to see a ballet at the theatre 

♡ Comb your hair attentively and spray it with your favourite dewy perfume 

♡ Apply rosewater hand cream to your hands every evening before bed

♡ Snuggle up with a hot cocoa adorned with the fluffiest mini marshmallows and sprinkles of fairy dust! 

♡ Re-create your own Clara (from the Nutcracker) hairstyle ~ a half up-do; finished with a satin ribbon 

♡ Run a soothing bubble bath filled with flower petals and Jo Malone’s ‘Red Roses’ bath oil 

seventies-starlet:

On a hot summer day in Cannes, where the sea flatters your eye and sand flatters your pure heart, we swayed to the rhythm of French 1960’s music while our souls embraced each other and birds sang winsome sonnets. And as the beams of sunlight that revives brown leafs in the spring, you warmed my heart and delighted my soul.

honeythicket:

have you ever walked barefoot along the edge of the garden in the summer, picking ripe red strawberries? have you ever looked into the brown eyes of a cow? have you ever sunk your fingers into the dirt? laid in a sunny patch of a field on a handmade quilt ? collected wild blueberries ? pressed flowers between the pages of an old book ? that’s really what life is about
