Photographer Kevin Bauman has taken photos of 100 different Abandoned Houses. There's so much beauty in the breakdown. And how sad and lonely do all of these houses look? I've always thought it'd be magical to get married in an old Abandoned House. To fill an Empty Space with such an overwhelming sense of Love, Grace and Protection would be so lovely / metaphorical. After all, isn't that what marriage means? An ornate and abandoned Train Station or a Secret Garden (of Eden) would suffice as well. I don't know if I'm "marriageable" though. I've always thought of myself as more a "divorceable" type of girl. I've too been abandoned. But mostly this was by myself. I guess realistically in someway, have not we all?

Today is my 23rd Birthday. I can't post this picture without giving credit where it's due. I'm obsessed with this image. It reminds me of my childhood and it's beautiful. Thank you Maile. You're beautiful too. Get Loose!

Maurie & Eve

After her grandparents (Maurice and Evelyn) were killed in a tragic Car Accident in 2001, Kelly Davies was left a beautiful old Singer sewing machine. Inspired by her Grandparent's Unconditional Love and Kelly’s own Design Aspirations, the label Maurie & Eve was born. Over the last few years, demand for this original, sexy label has blossomed with over 170 Stockists around the world. I heart the Spring/Summer '09 Collection, brightened with sequins and pins, layered with soft photography. The Label's grown into a wonderfully Feminine Aesthetic with a Formidable Sexy Edge. Classic 1940's beauty filters through each magical piece. Available exclusively in Los Angeles. Obviously? Unintentional? Nope.
