perspective.

so i went to church today for the first time in uhh..forever. mainly because it's Easter. and i was surprised that i cried during half of the service. and not for the same reason i've been crying all springbreak..not because of my so-called broken heart.. i cried because i've been so selfish lately. and focused on stupid things. there's such a bigger picture. so much more to look forward to. and yeah i can't have everything i want all the time, but everything really, really does happen for a reason. every bad day and every minute i'm hurting is part of a plan. life isn't easy. but it is beautiful. and i'm thankful for that.

love, ema.

it ended before it ever really started.

why isn't life fair..

and why aren't relationships easy

and why, no matter how many break-ups you've endured, does it seem like your world just ended so abruptly..

we never gave us a real try.

And I swear that you don't have to go

I thought we could wait for the fireworks..

I thought I could live in your arms

And spend every moment I had with you

Stay up all night with the stars

Confess all the faith that I had in you

I thought with a month of apart

Together would find us an opening

And moonlight would provide the spark

And that I would stumble across your key

Or break down the door to your heart

Forever could see us, not you and me

And you'd help me out of the dark

Too late, I'm sure and lonely

Another night, another dream wasted on you

Just be here now, against me

Sleep alone tonight

With no one here just by your side

THREE CHEERS FOR FIVE YEARS (acoustic) -MAYDAY PARADE

song of the moment

ALL HAIL THE HEARTBREAKER - THE SPILL CANVAS

I had the notion that you'd make me change my ways

And my bad habits would be gone in a matter of days

I had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes

To a whole new world that had since been in disguise

But that day will most likely never come for me

And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck

To everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures

And overanalyze your words

But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard

It's taking everything in me

Just to forget your sweater so far

I had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real

What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams

Maybe then you'd know how I feel

But that day will most likely never come for me

And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck

To everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures

And overanalyze your words

But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard

It's taking everything in me

Just to forget your sweater so far

I can honestly say

That I never, ever, ever felt this way

Your lips, your eyes, your smile

These are the parts of your body

That cause my comatose to begin

I can honestly say

That I never, ever, ever felt this way

Your lips, your eyes, your smile

These are the parts of your body

That cause my comatose to begin

I will sleep another day

I don't really need to anyway

What's the point when my dreams are infected

With words you used to say

I will breathe in a moment

As long as I keep my distance

I wouldn't want to go messing anything up

So don't go worrying about me

It's not like I think about you constantly

So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect

Your life anymore

I knew it the moment you walked into the door

So don't go worrying about me

It's not like I think about this constantly

So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect

Your life anymore

I knew it the moment you walked into the door

I'll let you get the best of me

Because there's nothing else that I do well

I'll let you get the best of me

Because there's nothing else that I do well

I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker

I guess that's how this one's gonna go I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker

You've got me down on my knees and I proclaim

All hail the heartbreaker

Not-so-random thought..

We really do build people up when we have strong feelings for them,

and when those feelings are gone,

we can see them for who they really are.

Lesson learned. And I'm glad everything worked out the way it did. 'Cause now I know I'm right where i should be.

love & lyrics, ema.

p.s. fyi this is not an emo post. i'm happyyy

so now i'm not happy.

and i would like to get-away.

asap.

p.s. new current obsessions include my life as liz and "vanilla twilight" by owl city.

love, ema.

current obsession

these houndstooth readers.

word.

love, ema.

non fashion-related things that have made me happy recently..

1. Rufio

-the amazing kind of old-school punk band, not the kid with the red mohawk.

"In My Eyes" on loop.

"you're graceful. your grace falls down around me, in my eyes.

you're lovely. your love leaves so easily in my eyes."

2. Learning guitar

- this one's kind of a love/hate rela. because, it's the most frustrating thing i've ever tried to do, but so much fun when you get it.

3. Random non-school/work related art projects and drinking tea out of coffee mugs.

love, ema.

my doppleganger

i've been told i look like a Bratz doll.

my friend alyssa, aka "Princess" nicknamed me "Barbie."

('cause it sounds better than "hey Bratzdoll")

end of story.

love, ema.

spring in feb--why not?

i'm in absolute true love with the spring trends that came oh-so early this year.

it's like christmas in october.

lets start with my number 1--florals.

girls if you don't already love florals, you will fall soon enough..

they are so delicately femme, that they make you feel like a princess, without the tulle.

i do love my tulle, but that's another story.

so what if you're not all about super frilly, girly style? that's okay too!

i like my denim distressed and my doc martens just as much as the next girl, and that makes florals even more fun to play with.

example: i bought an adorable vintage floral silk top, and paired it with some black denim shorts and black leather over-the-knee riding boots. i'll try to remember to get a pic up soon..

basically, florals are a must. whether you rock em with a leather jacket or a cardigan.

next up.. light wash denim.

light wash denim anything! vintage, acid-wash, shorts, jackets..all of it is good.

yes, even denim button-up shirts are back in a big way, for guys and gals.

cherry on top of this fashion cake, is that you can find florals and light wash denim at vintage/thrift stores! happy hunting ;)

love, ema.

back.

so i def started this as an emo blog, for no one to really see except myself, and maybe my co-blogging friend queenieQ.. i've deleted all the emo posts, for anyone and everyone's future conveniences.

but anyways, i don't want this to be a gushy kinda blog, nor do i want to simply rant about douchebags.. God knows i could go on for days. but i'd rather make this blog about things that make me happy.. primarily fashion. with maybe some randoms thrown in here and there.. life needs a little spontaneity, does it not?

love, ema.

p.s. just in case anyone was wondering, i am currently happy. xoxo
