see you then! xo
Hello my fellow fashion lovers and dreamers. I hope you all are enjoying this beautiful day.
I’ve been punching the keys of this computer all morning, but I decided to take a break, and write something for myself. I hope you all enjoy.
Have you ever looked at someone and thought “this relationship will go absolutely nowhere, but what the hell” ?
I knew he wasn’t going to make my heart ever skip a beat,
I knew I’d never find myself lying next to him in bed and thinking “this is where I am meant to be.”
But, I said what the hell.
He was intriguing to me.
Don’t get me wrong,
I am supporter of true love
It’s biggest fan
and promoter.
True love, should assign me as its ambassador-
a “diplomat of love,”
the real kind.
the gushy, butterflies, trust, forever stuff
that’s me.
a proponent of I love you’s that come from the heart
and kisses that have a purpose.
I, am the captain of love’s cheerleading team.
I’m the one doing flips on the sidelines
screaming the loudest
hoping that love always hits the winning shot
drives the winning touchdown
and races across the finish line first.
I’m in the ring for love.
“Let’s get readddy to rummbbble”
left jab,
straight right,
left hook
I’m knocking down all of love’s impostors.
I won’t throw in the towel for love.
I’m a rider for love-
got it tatted on my wrist,
it’s forever.
So don’t get me wrong.
I am a supporter of true love-
the real kind.
but let’s be real
love doesn’t come around often
So in the meantime,
while your waiting
embrace the other stuff.
they come with lessons, experiences and
fun
as love’s biggest fan and supporter
take it from me,
it’s not always about love
sometimes it’s about learning
from someone
about something
new.
it’s about good conversation
and seeing new things
having a good laugh.
a good relationship,
doesn’t always have to be about true love
and forever.
but don’t get me wrong
I am a supporter of true love
it’s biggest fan.
Until tomorrow dreamers…

Hello my fellow fashion lovers and dreamers. Another night (or morning for that matter) that I am up again, wide awake wishing that I could fall asleep.
I have been up working on some things, and ran across a photo of two girls that I met in New York this summer. I can’t remember their names, they are somewhere floating around in one of my many Blackberry notes, but I do remember why it is that they caught my attention- their boundless sense of confidence. Once again, they arrested my attention tonight, and inspired a short poem.
These two ladies defy the mainstream pulls society’s determination of “cool.” They take fashion, and create their own trends, despite what’s walking down the latest runways. And they do this all, with a powerful sense of confidence.
You can’t help but to be drawn to them.
New York, New York
what do you know about what it means to be an individual?
i find purpose in the unconventional,
find comfort in the off-beat.
i can find my rhythm
in an out of tune
jazz number
ooooh ba ba
i find ease.
on that, unbeaten path
i’ll do a little
dance- number
cus’ different
is no trouble for me
it gives me satisfaction.
i’m eccentric-
and quirky
Oh you think I’m
freakishly dorky?
maybe
but
these irregularities
soothe me-
move me
to be an individual
you just don’t know how good it feels
to be free
what do you know about what it means to be an individual?
until you know, don’t judge me

TGIF dreamers! Yesterday I enjoyed a beautiful day with friends and family and brought in my 22nd birthday with a lot of love.
Last night I went to dinner with my boyfriend and my parents to Cafe Stella in Silverlake. I had heard raving reviews of the French eatery but had some trepidation over whether or not I would enjoy the cuisine. The old adage is true never judge a book by its cover, or in this case never judge a restaurant by its cuisine, you never know what tasty treasures are buried within the menu.
Needless to say, Cafe Stella was amazing and I can not wait to go back again. I had the Sole served in a buttery sauce with potatoes that paired beautifully with the crisp white wine, it was delicious. Run don’t walk to Cafe Stella.
On the car ride to dinner I got a wonderful birthday gift from some Bespoked Stanza dreamers and fellow bloggers. Kelsey, from the new blog Living Lines,
emailed me to tell me that she loved Bespoked Stanzas and that she had posted one of my poems on Living Lines. It is by far one of the best feelings to have someone connect with your poetry.
So dreamers, to supplement your Bespoked Stanzas reading and to feed your literary souls add Living Lines to your list of blogs to read.
Until next time dreamers…

Good evening my fellow fashion lovers and dreamers. Tonight is eerily beautiful. As I was driving home today, sitting in LA traffic, I saw an arresting rainbow peeking from behind thick chunky grey clouds that seemed to have swallowed the clear bright blue skies that only moments ago had filled the air. A cool breeze swept through my car window as the sky began to change its hue. Then, long bolts of lightening darted through the sky- an unwanted light show. But I will admit, despite my fear (I am afraid of everything), I was able to for a moment recognize its beauty.
Now, I am sitting on my couch by my window- sheltered from the big dollops of water toppling from the sky and the unexpected light shows. A warm breeze is coming through my window rippling the shades. The stove is humming as my sole stuffed with crab and shrimp from Whole Foods bakes. For the first time in a long time it is calm. No workload looming over my head, no TV, no responsibilities- at least not for this moment, not right now. And I love it.
I have been writing poems quite often in my moments of spare time- I quickly jot down a few lines on whatever paper is in front of me. Sometimes I piece them altogether to make these concoctions of slightly off beat rhythm and rhyme, but lately I like that. It’s something different- not predicted.
Here is a short poem I jotted down in the margins of my notebook:
I will hop-scotch
around the world
if you play hide and seek from me.
i’ll find you.
Race through, red lights and green lights
Jump through hula hoops
and leapfrog over lily pads
I’ll capture your flag
Red Rover Red Rover
I’ll send you right over
every time.
because Simone says,
you were meant for me
And Love, beats rock paper scissors.
all the time.
Well my fish is ready dreamers. I’m off to go cut some cucumbers and enjoy this meal- maybe a nice glass of white wine to go with it?
Oh yea, TOMORROW is my BIRTHDAY! Another beautiful year I was blessed with, hoping that 22 will be just as wonderful.
Until tomorrow dreamers…

Well good evening dreamers, or rather good morning. It’s 1 o’clock right now. Honestly, I would rather be snuggled in my bed lost in a juicy dream but instead I am up on the computer, wide awake.
A few minutes ago I got this surge of confidence. I am not quite sure where it came from- to be honest I am normally quite critical of myself, as most of us are. I have a hard time pointing out my strengths and all of the things that make me beautiful, yet I find it quite easy to identify my weakness and flaws.
But, just a few minutes ago, the tables turned- my mindset reversed and out of nowhere I felt 100 percent confident in who I was not only physically but mentally.
Quickly I opened up my photo booth (the picture taker on Mac computers) and had my own little photo shoot on my couch- flannel shirt, oversized heather t-shirt and all. I wanted to capture what this glimpse of pure confidence looked like.
And then I realized, an exercise that I’d like to start implementing into my life everyday. If every day I found one thing that I loved about myself whether it be something physical, or an attitude that I posses, or a belief that I stand by- I believe that I would walk around with my head held a little higher and have a deeper strength within myself as I charge through each day.
Just a feeling I had- a small revelation- that hopefully you can somehow apply to yourself.
At the risk of sounding to philosophical and preachy I will leave it at simply this-
we are all beautifully talented and profound individuals and every day we should modestly embrace ourselves and bask in the beautiful aspects of who we are.
Until later today dreamers…
