Style does not necessarily mean fashion, and vice versa. Style transcends wealth and prestige. Sometimes it is pre-meditated, sometimes it is natural. It can be good design, a thoughful arrangement, a personal eccentricity, or a mysterious trait you cannot quite put your finger on. I think style makes the world a place worth living, because it requires consciousness and attention to detail...it makes the everyday into something amazing.
What can I say? My world would be pretty boring and lonely without him to share it with. He makes me laugh. He challenges me. He enlightens me. He respects me. He rocks.
♥Delicious Food
Magazines. Blogs. Classics. Philosophy. Low-brow. I don't judge -- if it stimulates my mind, makes me laugh, makes me think, makes me angry, makes me scared, or just plain entertains me, I'm happy! And yes, I read Foucault when I was three years old...just kidding.
♥Music
I'm an equal-opportunity music-listener. I love old country music, French pop, 80's new wave, hip-hop, southern rock, indie, disco, 50's rockabilly, classical, psychedelic. I have a ridiculously large music collection, and I download new stuff every week. I must have it all!! How fantastic is this old-school picture of Madonna, by the way??

What makes me happy?
All the most important things that make me happy are too personal to share, plus I would sound like a total cheese queen. Having children does this too you, a big wedge of Edam where a woman once stood.
You however, have done it perfectly, we share an opinion on some of the happier things in life for sure, such as good food and Ossie Clark, the go to man for style.
AWESOME!!! Awesome photos and awesome sentiments! I wish I'd put my boyfriend now too - but he is a bit like - "Don't put me in your blog lady!!!" Can I say now that what you said about your boyfriend I'd like to say about mine too? :)
Have a lovely, lovely Friday and weekend Tara!
These pictures are amazing!! Especially the kid reading Foucault and the old school Madonna candid. I also completely relate to your love of Ruscha- so perfectly irreverent!
