okay, okay, so most people know Olivia from The City, a spinoff of the Hills. Although, I can honestly say I dont like that show, I will admit to watching it out of boredom, hoping that on at least one episode something interesting will happen. But mostly, I watch it for the outfits.

So it is undeniable that Olivia has a beautiful style. She always looks very put together, and everything she puts on her body looks very thought out and sophisticated. I love the way she mixes cheap finds with designer labels, something that is great to do on a budget. I just wish she would ...

LET HER HAIR DOWN a little....

she is always frowning or fake smiling, or has this gross pretentious way about her. i simply cant stand it. this chick needs a hug, because she appears quite miserable.

but, applause on the cute outfits and great hair olivia, seriously.


do you agree or disagree?

Libby: How about nobody takes leadership? Everyone can just take what they need.

Sawyer: Great plan, Moonbeam! Maybe after that we can sing Kumbaya and do trust falls.

in a land far far away, i would be in this room, with a white see through dress,
a colorful bathing suit, wet hair, sounds of wild birds, music playing,
eating fruits, sipping coconuts, doing crafts on the porch,
joint, and not a care in the world.




can you tell im excited for costa rica and over work?

“ I like too many things
and get all confused and hung-up
running from one falling star to another
till i drop.
This is the night,
what it does to you.
I had nothing to offer anybody
except my own confusion."

another tradition is going to be : more inspiration collages.

reminds me of the good ole days of journaling in high school. miss those days.




this one is intended to inspire you to get out there and do what you love.
we only get one life...why waste it out of fear or failure?





hope this helps.

so i want to start a new tradition on my blog. this being, the look of the day.


a look that inspired me, a look that made me sigh in envy, a look that made me want to leave work
and go shopping, a look that made me hate nearly all my clothes in my closet.

just the LOOK of the DAY.







oh, Shannon. this crochet number paired with your effortlessly awesome short hair cut
and your perfect bangs and truly working for you. i dont even need to know what the rest
of this little outfit looks like, and i know i want it.


love.

I N E E D H E L P.

everyone is weird. some are more obviously weird to the human eye. some people are just weird when its just [ the two of you ], and some people just let their freak flag fly. all of the above, i can appreciate.


i was thinking about what makes up people, and half of that would be their little quirks and strange things that only they do, in their own way.



i suppose its hard to study your OWN quirks, because sometimes you dont even notice you are doing them at all. but there has to be a few obvious things, that make up BRI.

and some of them, only i know. well, and now you do too.



here are
10:


1. ever since i was a kid i would blink in between telephone poles when driving in a car, and step over cracks. not because im ocd or because I thought I would somehow get bad luck [ i dont think ] - just because.

2. its been drawn to my attention that I say the words “THAT”, “BACK,” and “LEGS” with a chicago accent, even though its only those words and I havent lived in chicago in almost 10 years.

3. I pull a piece of hair over my nose and mouth. and it looks like im constantly smelling my hair, and im not. and that’s weird.

4. the one thing I will admit that I have high anxiety and ocd tendencies about is most medical topics. veins has been an issue for me for as long as I remember. I hate wrists and forearms and gross boy veins. and veins in foreheads. next, please.

5. I flip through every magazine quickly, then I go back and read what I want. even when I want to stop, I flip through the whole thing first.

6. in order to sleep comfortably, I have to sleep with my arms underneath my pillow.

7. I have to sit on one leg to be most comfortable. or have my legs elevated. [ on a plane, I run into quite a dilemma here ]

8. being a graphic designer, I think in grids. I line up things, I organize my desktop in a grid, and I appreciate straight lines.

9. I hit snooze 4-8 times a day. getting up without a snooze is quite foreign to me.

10. I eat incredibly fast and regret it every time when I can barely breath after I literally inhale my meal. but I just get too excited.



I would love to hear one of YOUR quirks -- SPILL IT.

im feeling incredibly too inspired on this wednesday afternoon
to not post as many posts as i want.



i really dont understand left side brainers. i think i wasnt even born with that side.



im pleased to say at some point of everyday i feel completely inspired.

• whether that be when i look at a billboard with horrible drop shadows, gradients and disgusting type and it inspires me that much more to change design to easy simple and aesthetically pleasing.
• or when i line up my row of blue glass goblets in the cabinet.
• or when i make my bed and hang my jewelry on the racks and watch them sparkle.
• or when every month i make arian a handmade card that sums up our month together. im thinking 10 months is going to be a continuation of cereal and the smiths and reunions.
• or every morning when i stand in the closet in my underwear picturing 50 different ways to wear just a few items.
• or when i look at my folders of 1000s of photos that make me feel wonderful.

i only hope to share those things with you.






















i love & symbols:





















just drop me off here after work:


















i need to hold on to these feelings.
