Because it’s ridiculously adorable and filled with lots of cute little fashion-y bits and bobs!
(And it’s a bajillion times more awesome at full size.)

Painting… oh, so much painting. After I finish this class, if I never touch a paint brush ever again, it will be too soon. Gouache is the spawn of satan. (Okay, maybe that’s harsh. But I do not like it. At all.)
Planning… out the layout of my new apartment. Insert excited bounce here! You know you’re a designer when playing around with little furniture cut-outs is the most fun you’ve had in weeks.
Missing… my dad. He’s away for two months at Harvard (!) in Boston being a smarty pants.i
Longing… oh, so desperately to see A Single Man. It seems that the movie universe is working against me, and the longer I have to wait to see it, the more I crave it.
Considering… dyeing my hair white blonde. So pretty. If I knew it wouldn’t destroy my hair and require very dedicated upkeep, I’d do it in an instant.

I’ve been on a bit of a Disney binge as of late. After an evening of cleaning out my parent’s storage room, I came out with my arms full of my beloved video cassettes that I worshiped when I was younger. I loveloveloved Disney growing up, and I still have a huge soft spot for the classics. I’ve been watching each of my movies one by one in the last month or so, and all of these happy memories are flooding back to me as I relive my favourite stories. Oh, to be young and discovering the magic behind these films for the first time once again. And actually, since it’s been so long since I’ve seen many of them, I do feel a bit like I’m seeing them for the first time all over again. Some that I never really appreciated all that much growing up, I find myself very fascinated by this time around. The Hunchback of Notre Dame comes to mind. Bawled like a baby the entire time I watched it the other week. Perhaps I’m a bit of a wet blanket, but I’ve found most that I’ve seen thus far have had me blubbering at moments both sad and happy. Case in point: Classic Disney movies are the best.
And because a trip down memory lane simply is not complete without pretty pictures (and really, when is anything ever complete around here without pretty pictures?), a look at some of my favourites both old and new.
Pocahontas (1995)
Honestly, I never really appreciated this one until recently. I liked it well enough as a kid, but it was never a favourite. This time around though, while I still wasn’t quite as attracted to the story itself like I am with other Disney movies, my appreciation for this film as a piece of art drastically sky rocketed. Even from these four images alone, you can’t deny the beautiful colours and textures.

Wednesday, WeHeartIt, words… or lack thereof. Not sure what’s come over me, but my usual chatterbox-y self seems to be a bit tongue tied as of late. I’ve sat down countless times to write entries, and the words just don’t seem to want to flow. They’re all bottled up, swimming around inside my head, but they refuse to do anything more than mash together in nonsense. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been home alone for a few days with no one to talk to, or what, so for today, I’ll just let this handful of lovely images of the things that are currently inspiring me do the talking. (Consider this my first take on Wordless Wednesday. Except that it’s more of a WeHeartIt Wednesday since this post was primarily created by ransacking WHI. Or perhaps a One-or-Two Words Wednesday since I babbled a little bit anyway.)
