The wind that I chase, it all just leads back to you

Mischa  Barton‘s been off the radar for some time now, but it looks like she’s trying to make a comeback as well. I was devasted when she was killed off the OC. It just never was the same after that especially when Ryan awkwardly dated  Taylor Townsend… Then Mischa in real life started looking haggard and began dating… Cisco Adler. The wannabe peen exposer who followed in the footsteps of Pete Wentz. (Sorry Kelly!) At that point, my hero Marissa Cooper went downhill and she took Mischa Barton with her.

Lately, I’ve been seeing her on the red carpet though at various events, and it seems like her look is a bit more polished? It seems as if Mischa, revived from the dead has also partnered up with designer Stacey Lapidus to create a headband line adorned with feathers, pearls, silk and other embellishments. I’m actually quite impressed with the line but for $40-200 a pop? I think I’ll pass and just stick to my trusty Forever 21’s starting at $2.80 thanks! I think it’s safe to say that this line will do a lot better than Aubrey O’Day’s “Heart on My Sleeve” line

How Fierce It Felt to Fly

Emily Horne and Joey Comeau created A Softer World, a site where she takes the picture and he makes up the comics. They’re actually pretty funny I would recommend you check it out. But this one sparked something in particular – a playoff on “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. I just remember spending nearly a month on this poem during english class this year and I think every time I’m reminded of this I think of my teacher and analyzing this poem until no more could be done.

I’m still editing photos trying to get everything ready for the end of the year. Things are going along pretty well though, the snow gives me lots of time to do whatever I have to get done.
