only paper moons

enchanted

as the rest of the country prepares for the upcoming winter time and the festivities that come along with the season, i on the other hand, am apprehensively awaiting for spring to arrive. it's the perfect time (along with the fall) to break out a light coat or pair your favourite dress with some tights and head skip out the door instead of all the constrains winter brings. it's peculiar how much i was looking forward to fall during the ridiculously hot days of summer only to regret it once fall reached its end and winter reared its ugly head.

here's an editorial styled by kate lanphear for ELLE US december 2010 to get myself, and those whole live in a region that feels like the arctic circle, through the winter.

song of the day: enchanted - j.cole

in all honesty, you must give j.cole a listen -- even just once. that's all you'll need to realize what a lyrical, dynamic and honest ARTIST this young man is.  even if you're not too keen on this particular genre of music he might just bring something new to the table and win you over. he's got a bright future and i'm here to watch for the long run. give it a shot, thank me later. as for me, i'll be seeing him perform live for the first time in december and i haven't been this excited about anything in a very long time.

ps: check out his recently debuted mixtape Friday Night Lights as well. at the risk of sounding like a PR agent, i'll end it here.
