I feel alive and moved by the power of the written word--and yet it is a paradox. For this vibrant realm of life that is released upon the humble page I spend countless hours with my eyes fastened on a dead and dry thing--neglecting companionship, studies, and all else in pursuit of that awakening of spirit and mind. There is no balance. I feel it is so inhumanly possible to be in two places at once and at the moment I am dwelling in a novel...

XoXo
Cute!
Where do you buy most of your dresses?
I know what you mean! I get lost in books so easily and neglect just about everything else.
Cute outfits by the way. I love your last dress & belt combo.
the combination of the dark coloured dress with the green belt looks so nice..
love the place your pictures are taken..is near your campus?
(cause if it is you're so lucky..)
What you wrote is so wonderful and fitting!
you have so many cute dresses. and you always know when a a book is great because you think about it for all hours of the day, and some how, your own life just can't quite compare!
books are intoxicating...at least thats the only adjective i can think to describe it. it's almost embarassing how often I open up a book simply to look for a quote and then consequently end up reading a chapter....
loving the two dresses, particualrly the first one, i'm slightly obsessed with nice, full skirts. the setting is also gorgeous, what i'd give to wander around there for a day!
i love that button front dress.
and yes, i know what you mean about being trapped in a novel. it's been a long while since i've been sucked into a good book though. this summer i plan on revisiting some of my old favorites.
i love the photos of you by the river. oh and now i'm craving blue nail varnish!
beautiful photos, just lovely really
i adore your outfit
We can easily lose ourselves but thankfully a book doesn't damage the spirit like other things we could lose ourselves in.
That first dress is so cute - great structure! :) I've been bad about reading books lately - it seems only picture-books can hold my attention..
OKAY favorite photos of you ever! You look so gorgeous, and something about you just fits in with the grassy field. You look so lovely!
omg i have that earring LOL you look fab
I love, love, love the first dress! It's absolutely amazing.
love your second dress, and the blue nail polish!
what you said about books is really interesting. I think the magic of literature is that it takes physical items - paper, ink, computers - and combines them with the imagination and emotion of the human mind, to create such powerful stories and ideas.
The ivy blue dress is gorgeous. Your shoots are always beautiful to look at and really inspiring.
great photos as always! i love the scenery! so beautiful!
I love the entire outfit. Devine.
Such gorgeous shots! Weather here is cold, grey, rainy & miserable, would love to be wherever these pics were taken! :)

Sometimes I find it hard to pull myself out of my little bubble too. A lot of introspection can become isolating. It worries me. Lovely photography as always.
i love the fourth and last picture of the first set. And i love the pairings of the bright green belt and blue nails with the black
-indigo
I adore your red shoes, I seriously do. :D
I love nature as a background and those photos are so stunning! As always, love your shoe shots! xxoxoxo
I love these! I really like that H&M dress from the first few pics. I like how full the skirt is!
dwelling in a novel is no bad thing ;-) i'd rather be in murakami's japan or dante's paradiso than in the midst of cantab finals lol. gorgeous shoes... loving the river pics lately!

Love the outfit, love this entire post! ♥
That last photo is spectacular. Sometimes I have a similar feeling, but not about books... more about the internet. And far from being dead, it's so alive and everchanging and I know that I can never read it all.
Also your hair is getting soooo long, it looks lovely.
i love your first dress most! and you pair it so well with those earrings and shoes :)
and all photos all great!
I just love it when a novel captures my imagination, and I really miss the opportunities to get lost in a novel. Sadly, there isn't much time for me to read fictions/novels these days, so I'd say treasure the opportunity whenever you have one.
The first dress has a lovely vintage feel to it. I just love how you accessories vintage/vintage-inspired pieces with modern accents, like the earrings and the nail polish.
This makes me want to go to a field like insanely bad.

Such gorgeous photos. Very artsy.
great shoes, love the neutral last pic. The dress is great and can be wore with a lot of accessories.
you have beautiful profile. i love the bead earrings. so cute!
great photos! i love the tribal earrings!
also love the blue nail polish!

hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
Books also exert this kind of magical power on me. It's just like when you are reading a book and you just planned to read for half an hour, you suddenly get totally sucked in and spend hours reading!
Your pictures are so nice and I see you found yourself a field :D
I love your dress and the colour of your nail polish <3
know what you mean - I can totally relate to these wandering thoughts
wow! you're absolutely fabulous!
love the scenery anyway. ;)
wow, great pictures! i love the pic with the shoes...
The pictures look so serene. <3

love all of your shoes and dresses, and the way they suit your hair... amazing romantic girly style. love it!
I love how you make the highstreet magical. These photos are all beautiful x
I am all for it, your nails' colour, the blue!! Blue is a hit colour for this season too :D Love it, just loving it :D
That's a great opening quote. I would like to read a lot more books.
Beautiful shots as always. I love the nature background.
Oh I know what you mean, it's very interesting reading.... I read to feel more alive, in ways, and yet, am I really living if I only have my head buried in pages all day?
Anyway, beautiful photos, love your outfits and the setting!
xoxo,

Your words are so beautiful. How do you find time to read, blog and do all your schoolwork? I never have time to read anything other than school stuff except over breaks.
I love the field pictures!
hey miss, i got you a little something from hong kong. email me your addy! ~ eunice
Your photos always make me wish I was outdoors more! I know how you feel about getting lost in a book that way- can't be a bad thing ;)
I haven't had a really good book in ages! I'm actually craving one for about the last week so your post really makes me think its time for a trip to the bookshop.
I love your H&M dress. and seeing your hair down makes me notice its is getting so long!
gorgeous dresses!

The majority of the time (like 9/10 times) I will choose a night in with a book over a night out with the girls. Oddly enough, my girlfriends tend to follow suit, so when we get together, we chat about our new favourite books.
I'm rather enamoured with the tan shoes you're wearing in the last set. They seem like the perfect summer flat!
how do i always miss like 2 or 3 posts of yours!! =( your dresses are LOVE!!!! and those shoes..the last pic makes you legs look SUPER long..you are beautiful!
The H&M dress is lovely!
Very beautiful pictures!
