I am behind the scenes working hard on a few originals so I thought I would post a photo from last summer. I am definitely feeling the spring fever as it was 70 today here in Denver.

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit
A way
To start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

Street Fashion

My favorite inspiration for fashion anymore is the capturing of everyday people from the street photographers, one being from Dennis Wu of,  get your plane right on time. I am in love with this large fabric chain necklace. Such a surprising twist, and she wears it well.
