yeah the ellipsis, it's dumb

best movie. relatable characters. beautiful ending.

favorite quotes:

Andrew Largeman: This is my life, Dad, this is it. I spent 26 years waiting for something else to start, so, no, I don't think it's too much to take on, because it's everything there is. I see now it's all of it.

Sam: OK, so... so... sometimes I lie. I mean, I'm weird, man. About random stuff too, I don't even know why I do it. It's like... it's like a tick, I mean sometimes I hear myself say something and think, Wow, that wasn't even remotely true.

Andrew Largeman: You know, this necklace makes me think of this totally random memory of my mother. I was a little kid, and I was crying for one reason or another. And she was cradling me, rocking me back and forth, and I can just remember the silver balls rolling around. And there was like snot running down my nose. And she offered me her sleeve and told me to blow my nose into it. And I can remember, even as a little kid, thinking to myself, this is love... this is love.

Sam: You don't realize, this is good, this doesn't happen often in your life. We can work this stuff out. I want to help you, you know? We need each other...
Andrew Largeman: This isn't a conversation about this being over, it's, it's... I'm not, like, putting a period at the end of this, you know, I'm putting, like, an ellipsis on it, cause I'm- I'm- I'm worried that if I don't figure myself out, if I don't go like land on my own two feet, then I'm just gonna to mess this whole thing up, and this is too important. I gotta go... you changed my life in four days. This is the beginning of something really big. But right now, I gotta go.

Sam: What are you doing?
Andrew Largeman: Remember that idea I had, about working stuff out on my own, and then finding you once I worked stuff out?
Sam: The ellipsis?
Andrew Largeman: Yeah, the ellipsis, it's dumb. It's dumb. It's an awful idea. I'm not gonna do it, okay? Cause like you said, this is it. This is life. And I'm in love with you... I think that's the only thing I've ever really been sure of in my entire life. And I'm really messed up right now, and I got a whole lot of stuff I have to work out, but I don't want to waste any more of my life without you in it. And I think I can do this. I mean, I want to. I have to, right?
Sam: Yeah. Yes!
Andrew Largeman: So what do we do? What do we do?

raspberries and guacamole



After I got a pack of raspberries on sale yesterday I couldn't help but rush home, recreate young Amelie, and enjoy the crush of fresh, sweet raspberries roll around my tongue :)



Today, after working all day in my wonderland, the raspberries only remind me of some of our knobs.






Aren't they yummy enough to eat?

I couldn't help including a picture of my famous guacamole.

street style: glastonbury

large music concerts like glastonbury always amaze me. I've never been (mainly because the line-ups aren't always good and the prices are high), but I love to see what people wear to these festivals. What I love most about glastonbury is that is always rains and gets very muddy, so rubber boots become a necessary accessory, and you can see them appear in different forms in all the photos below :)

Chloe (Zara jacket, Uniqlo dress, vintage scarf and shorts, Dunlop boots, Linda Farrow Luxe sunglasses)


DJ Annie Mac (Barbour jacket, Insight tee, Levi's jeans, Tretorn boots)


Kelly Osbourne (Luella coat, Topshop dress, Gio Goi glasses)

more tuesday inspiration: mum




where I get my baking from


getting married in the dress she made

because I've been thinking about her a lot lately, and, well, she's beautiful and inspirational. love you Mom.

inspiration tuesday: gwyneth

tall, blonde, gorgeous. pretty great husband and children too.


from Sliding Doors, after Helen Quilley gets a new 'do


Gwyneth wearing Sonia Rykiel


I love how she works her assets (those long legs) but does it tastefully and appropriate for her age and role as a wife and mother. She knows she doesn't need to wear a muu-muu, but she doesn't show it all.


A classic hairdo to add refinement to a baggier dress.


Another little black dress
