“I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. Honestly, they don’t teach you anything important.”
~ Neil Gaiman

I’m feeling a little under the weather today, a feeling that tends to bring out either the hopeless romantic in me, my inner child, or a huge wave of nostalgia.

I stumbled upon A Collection A Day, 2010 around the beginning of this year when the web was flooded when many-a new yearly projects. And while most were gearing up for their participation in Project 365 or Grace in Small Things among many other challenges, illustrator Lisa Congdon planned to undergo a slightly different task in 2010. She created a blog, A Collection A Day, in which she plans to post a photograph of one of her numerous collections each day for the entire year! About this undertaking, she explains, “I am embarking on this project because I love my collections, and I want to document [...] and share them with whoever might be interested in looking at them.” And interested, I am!

Birman cats.
Listening to music I haven’t listened to in a long, long time and falling in love with it all over again.
Bright Star. ♥ Again. (Why yes, I am obsessed!)
Cliched sailor-style tattoos.
The colour magenta.
Christmas lights that are still on in the middle of January.
Brilliant ideas in the middle of the night.
Homemade blueberry muffins fresh from the oven when the tops are still crunchy.
Snow! (Snow never gets old in my books, and is always happiness inducing.)
Receiving a response to a message I sent Coco Rocha. “Oh you’re sweet. I’ll tweet about it after 7pm! Xoxo” Saving that forever!
Eating so many Sweet Tarts your tongue becomes tingly for hours.
Discovering my Dad also likes Natalie Portman.

With the fashion air-waves flooded to the brim this week with talk of the couture shows in Paris, it was very refreshing to stumble upon something a little less extravagant, but still equally as lovely. Discovering the spring/summer line for Canadian designer Calla Haynes was a much-needed breath of fresh fashionable air for me.
