Beautiful books I've acquired recently

♥ O' Doubt O' Stars ♥

One of the beautifulest records I've listened to in my life

♥ beauty ♥

I must have done something wonderful, somewhere, sometime..no matter where I go, beauty is always around, no matter for how long I leave, no matter how much I forget, beauty finds a way to seep into my life making me bloom with joy.

There are not many exciting things happening, I could say I'm a quiet person and I'd rather keep most things to myself yet all the tiny little joys that fill the days are enough for me to keep on dreaming. 

love, love, love is all I need, love and boys with dark voices, long eyelashes everyday, Anaïs Nin to bed, the swan lake that has been my love life (filled with tragedy and departures), muses, ballet beautiful, nude slippers, babies to teach, girls to fancy, many a thing to take care of, dreams for the future and kisses to give away..

I've been away but life never stops, darlings..

life is ablooming with beauty!

♥ never let me go ♥

 

Though the pressure's hard to take,

It's the only way I can escape,

It seems a heavy choice to make,

Now I am under.

And it's breaking over me,

A thousand miles down to the sea bed,

Found the place to rest my head.

Never let me go, never let me go.

Never let me go, never let me go.

♥ doll eyes ♥

 

I have this little heartshaped porcelain coffret where I keep the fake eyelashes I sometimes wear. It’s very creepy but sort of cute too

doll eyes forever

♥ love will find you ♥

♥ new year resolutions ♥

♥ Priscilla Presley ♥

 

I’ve been having these strange dreams with Priscilla Presley. She’s always wearing her wedding dress and she never stops smiling.

Last night, I sat beside her and asked her a couple of questions but she kept smiling and nodding without muttering a word.

♥ symphony in blue ♥

 

I spend a lot of my time looking at blue,

The colour of my room and my mood:

Blue on the walls, blue out of my mouth;

The sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes out,

The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about. 

For now I know that I'm needed

for the symphony...

(For Patricia)

This pretty things you gave me, I keep them close to my heart

♥ figurines ♥

 

I have this immense love for porcelain and ceramic figurines ever since I was very little. I quite like the symbolism of them and they remind me of the Virgin Marys my grandmother used to have everywhere.

♥ for andi ♥

Tu chica está en la sala de mi casa entre floreros de ópalo rosa y muñecas rusas.

te extraño.

♥ beauty favorites ♥

 

Some of my favorite beauty products at the moment;

♥ Chanel Nº5 Eau de Parfum

(a permanent favorite in my collection of perfumes. It reminds me of my lover everytime because he loves it so much)

♥ Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Crystal Lilac

(the dreamiest pale doll pink with subtle magenta shimmer)

♥ Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté in Lingerie Pink

(very creamy 60's pale pink)

♥ Clinique Quick Eyes Cream Shadow in Lucky Penny

(easiest way to highlight eyes with a dawn-like glow)

♥ ELF Shimmer Eyeliner Pencial in Dawn

(lovely shimmery eyeliner to highlight waterlines and inner eye corners)

♥ Art Deco Soft Kajal Liner in Violet

 (nothing is prettier than violet eyeliner)

♥ Fleurs Des Fleurs by Nina Ricci

(tiny vintage perfume I love, a soft powdery 70's floral).

♥ Nina Ricci Cheek Wear Powder in Rose Flanelle

(the softest most translucent barely-there rose powder blush)

♥ Cera di Cupra Eye Cream

(I never know if these things truly work but it's supposed to be filled with hyaluronic acid 

which is great for skin. I just love the texture and the little jar)

♥ Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara in Black

(miles-long lashes with no flaking)

♥ Almay Get Up & Grow mascara in Blackest Black

(a very buildable mascara, from demure to drama. I live for dramatic mascara, and this one is wonderful!)

♥ Posie Tint by Benefit

(lovely true pink stain for cheeks and lips)

♥ Girl Meets Pearl by Benefit

(darling liquid creamy highlighter in a golden rosy tone. It smells like raspberries and cream)

♥ Bariloche Silvestre Rose Hip Oil

(my skin has never been the same after I started using rose hip oil every night. It glows and it feels so soft)

♥ amber waves ♥

Amber Waves. Juliane Moore's chatacter was the only thing I liked about Boogie Nights. 

Horribly mediocre, super boring film in my opinion

♥ jeune fille en fleur ♥

♥ jeune filles en fleur ♥

Beware of young girls
who come to the door
wistful and pale of twenty and four
delivering daisies with delicate hands

Beware of young girls
too often they crave to cry
at a wedding and dance on a grave

Beware of young girls,
Beware of young girls, beware..
