brass buttons & golden leaves

a whole day with my boy, us both wrapped in winter coats. a borrowed twin lens reflex camera, hanging around my neck. light meter frustrations. walks in the cold with hands clasped tightly.

and she was, too.

it was my friends birthday last week, and these were her presents from me. earrings that are little perched birdies, and a bow tie necklace, the pair wrapped up in a disused atlas as wrapping paper.

i'll be seventeen thank you

thursday was red velvet cupcakes and presents tied in ribbon, and i ceased to be sixteen. it was lunchtime with friends and a copious amount of sugary substances and way too many ridiculous innuendos. it was smiles and candles and cake.

c'était hier

tea + joy division makes for making a rainy cold day not-so-miserable.

clouds, concrete

went op-shopping with the boy today, we found some great stuff. it was a nice day for taking photos too.

and today

the boy i like tells me he likes me. so nice.

also this.
