bey's in the trap! the trap being a poolhouse. this really makes me miss: my 'fro, summer and my tan. well, i think the tan is permanent, but nonetheless everything else has abandoned me.

though, i do have to say the bidding farewell summer makes me kinda stoked for christmas. if i could have it my way, we would have a hogwarts christmas year-round - complete with figgy pudding, butter beer and chocolate frogs. #potterazzi for life. for those who do not know what a hogwarts christmas entails, i have provided a visual below. isn't it magical? 

The Girl Who Lived.

those who know me best, know i have a slightly unhealthy obsession with all things harry potter. and though fashioning my life to the likes of a make-believe wizarding world is probably neither smart or realistic, i like to think i'm the girl who lived. and will continue to do so.

inspiration | walked by the 'before i die' chalkboard mural outside the martinpatrick3 storefront the other day and immediately thought of this quote a friend posted recently:

"in the end, there are only three things that matter - how much you loved, how gentle you live and how gracefully you let go of the things not meant for you.."
