"In Spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt."

So. A few things in my life lately. 

1. The earth is starting to blossom life and in my heart I feel a strong urge to drop all my cash, travel to New York, and relish the beauty of that magical city in springtime. 

2. James Blake's album Overgrown was released on Tuesday and I've been listening to that, and only that, every since. In particular, the track Life Round Here is all I want to listen to. 

3. Romeo and Juliet has slowly become my favorite movie. The way Luhrmann tells a story is particularly captivating in the way he uses visuals - colors, costume, landscapes - and also his use of modern music. Oh, the music. And Leo. That's all enough for me to love it.

4. I'm ready for summer. But most of all I'm ready for festivals. 

5. Daft Punk IS mah jam. 

Cheers to the weekend, kids! x

The air is growing steadily warmer with an abundance of birdsong and I, in my sheer happiness, wore shorts. I pulled out my old, treasured Converse that are bleached from the sun, dirty from Pitchfork last summer. There was a bonfire and despite the chill of the night air, my best mates and I circled together around the fire and talked and laughed till late in the night. I forgot how much I loved this time of year.
