Hey Everyone!

Hey everyone! How are you doing? Sorry I haven't posted much. I've been saying that a lot lately. I honestly am sorry and I really I'm going to try to post more. I've been very busy and I have somewhat of an obsession with an app. Instagram is a new app for iPhone, iPod, and iPad. It is so much fun! You take picture, chose from several filters or none at all, and then post for people to see. I love the app and I go on everyday. You can also follow other people and look at millions of gorgeous photos. There's one girl on there named Elise and she is a designer, blogger, and boutique owner. She is a vintage gal and has a wonderful blog, A Beautiful Mess. Although I don't know her personally she takes great photos and figured you guys would like her blog. Anyways I'm going to post very soon. Bye!

I Know You, You Know Me

Thanks SO much to Kaitlyn over at Born Late for giving the Tell Me About Yourself award! I'm honored. So as most of you probably know for the award you tell 7 things about yourself and then share your most beloved blogs. I'm super excited so here we go!

1. I have naturally curly brown hair. I started straightening it awhile back and then I got a special treatment at a salon in the summer. Now all of the frizz is gone and my hair is super soft. Thanks to my aunt for paying the bill! You know a girl's gotta do, what a girl's gotta do.

2. I am in LOVE with Adele. Her voice is utterly AMAZING. This girl has talent. Unlike many music artists today, she makes "music for ears not eyes." She also has a bit of a sailor's mouth, which I LOVE too. She's talented, funny, nice, and wonderful.



3. I like trying new things and I'm working on being more adventurous. I wanna travel all over the world, learn about cultures, take amazing pictures, and eat unique food. I especially want to run and twirl around alone in a meadow, in a white dress, and then scream as loud as I can, to let all of it out. My top three places that I want to visit are, Spain, France (I really want to visit the palace of Versailles), and Italy



4. My favorite sport is soccer. I started playing it when I was little and I got the name twinkletoes. Not to brag but I do have petty good foot work. My brother is obsessed with soccer and I learn a lot from him. My favorite teams are the United States women's national soccer team and FC Barcelona. I love Hope Solo and Abby Wambach. (USA Women's Team) I also love watching Messi (FC Barcelona). He is the best player ever.

Abby Wambach

5. Although I love music to death, I can't sing to save my life. I always sing along but I sound horrible. I wish I could sing and become famous and make money but I have stage fright so I don't see that happening.



6. I love taking pictures. I'm thinking about becoming a photographer when I grow up. I think I'm pretty good at it. I love taking pictures of the sun. I want to capture moments in life with my photography. It's fun and makes me happy.



7. I live inside my head. I'm a dreamer. I make up stories, dream all day long, and imagine all possibilities. I'm never serious and I always try to look on the bright side of things. If I could just lay in a hammock, look up at the sky, and dream all day long, I would be so happy. I like to pretend that its the 60s and 70s. I even make up stories sometimes if I'm bored, about me being a young singer in the Sixties, who's later becomes a model, and also becomes an actress. In my story I'm best friends with Pattie Boyd and the other birds of the time. I date famous rock stars and make amazing, fun music. It's fun to make up little and possibly dorky stories. Basically what I'm saying is that I never stop dreaming. I feel I have the freedom to do what I want, when I want. I have tons of dreams and ambitions that I will accomplish one day. To quote Aubrey Hepburn, "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!"



So that's me. Now here are some of my favorite blogs!

The Queen of the Scene

Vittoria Marisa Schiaparelli Berenson was born February 15, 1947 in New York City to Robert L. Berenson and Countess Maria Luisa Yvonne Radha de Wendt de Kerlor better known as Gogo Schiaparelli. Her father was of Lithuanian Jewish descent and her mother was of Italian, Swiss, French, and Egyptian ancestry. Her mother was the daughter of Swiss-French Count Wilhelm de Wendt de Kerlor and fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli. She was hugely successful especially in Paris, second only to Coco Chanel. Elsa collaborated with Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau. Marisa followed in the famous steps of her grandmother and came to prominence as a model in the early 1960s. She first appeared on the cover of Vogue in July 1970. This would be the first of many times that she appeared on the cover and in the magazine. Marisa became a favorite at Vogue. She graced the cover of some of the biggest international fashion magazines as well as appearing in various fashion layouts. She was often photographed by her sister, Berry. In December 1975 she appeared on the cover of Time magazine. Her frequent appearances at nightclubs and other social venues gave her the title of Queen of the Scene. Fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent dubbed her The Girl of the Seventies. On her fame and successful Marisa remarked, "I once was one of the highest paid models in the world." In 1971 she started an acting career when she stared in the film, Death in Venice. Her breakout role was in the 1972 film Cabaret. She was nominated for two Golden Globes, a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) nomination, and an award from the National Board of Review. Her best known role was as Lady Lyndon in Barry Lyndon (1975). Ms. Berenson also appeared in many European movies and TV series. She also starred in made-for-TV movies in the U.S. In 1978 she guest hosted an episode of The Muppet Show. Along with her beauty and fame came admirers. In the early seventies she became the companion of French banker, David René de Rothschild. She married James Randall, a rivet manufacturer in Beverly Hills California, in 1976. A year later they had a daughter, Starlite Melody Randall. The coupled divorced in 1978, only two years after they married. She remarried in 1985 to Aaron Richard Golub, a lawyer. They divorced in 1987 and the judge ruled that "the increased value of Ms. Berenson's acting and modeling career [during the marriage] were marital property." (I'm not sure what that means but sounds somewhat important. Hehe) On September 11, 2001, Marisa's sister/photographer, Berry was killed in the first flight to hit the World Trade Center. Marisa herself was in an airplane during the terrorist attacks, flying from Paris to New York. Hours later her flight landed in Canada as did many others. Marisa was told of her sister's death during a phone call with her daughter. Talking about the experince Marisa said, "I have hope and tremendous faith. I think that's what gets you through life ... through tragedies is when you have faith." Marisa Berenson is a style icon, a beauty, a strong courageous person, and over all an amazing and wonderful woman.

Take These Broken Wings and Learn to Fly

Some days you feel horrible. You feel worthless, confused, and sad. You think you can't go on, you just wanna die. You wanna crawl under a rock. You don't want anyone to see you. Life is so confusing. But you MUST remember. You are beautiful inside and out. You are worthy, your a pure diamond. If anyone ever knocks you down and tells you that you aren't worth it, give them the finger. They're lying. You are an amazing person. REMEMBER THAT! Even when things are bad I promise they get better. So I'm writing to those lost souls or anyone else who feels out of place. I want to inspire you. I want you to be happy and take your broken wings and learn to fly! You are a bird, beautiful and free. You're the key to your happiness. Open up and let your true colors show! I think you have to show your true colors, be free, believe in yourself, and have fun in your life to unlock your inner self. Your an unwritten book. Write your story. Make it pop, make it fun, make it about you!

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free
