It's been a while I know...it's been a crazy last few weeks...and now the holidays are here. Ugh. Hope you all are well, healthy and happy. I have lots of exciting news to post...check back this week. Promise! xx
lay me down
Yes, I do, I believe
That one day I will be where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, the stars are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin,
Where do I begin?
No words can explain the way I’m missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I’m inside
These tears, they tell their own story
You told me not to cry when you were gone
[Regular version:] But the feeling’s overwhelming, they're much too strong
[Acoustic version:] But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright?
I’ll take care of you,
And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight
I’m reaching out to you
Can you hear my call? (who's to say you won't hear me?)
This hurt that I’ve been through
I’m missing you, missing you like crazy
You told me not to cry when you were gone
[Regular version:] But the feeling’s overwhelming, they're much too strong
[Acoustic version:] But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright?
I’ll take care of you
And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
[Acoustic version ends here]
And make sure you’re alright?
I’ll take care of you
And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skillfully, mysteriously) her first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands
-E.E. Cummings
(I shall never tire of the beautiful, eloquent words written of the classic Mr. Cummings)
rone - bye bye macadam

For those of you that know me, and know me personally...then you know how obsessed I am with anything vintage, particularly anything pertaining to the 70's era. Be it fashion, music, furniture, pop culture/icons, TV shows, the nines. I've been sifting through photoshoots I still need to edit and post (yes, a little lazy bear I am) but it was only because I was waiting for the launch of my new site and it's finally here (yaayyyy).
What's better than 1 Ursula? 3 of course (well, not really, only kidding). ;) Love the creativity photographer Mario Barberio always brings on set. I was dancing around, frolicking, gettin' my groove on. This is an un-edited photo and sneak peek of what's to come. I scored some great vintage pieces for Cheeky Doll dripping with colorful, sparkly sequins. I mean, the holiday festivities are only around the corner...and wearing one for a holiday party or New Year's Eve only seems so fitting right? Keep a lookout for this photo set. xx
As the legend David Bowie would say, 'LET'S DANCE' .......
'Let's dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance to the song
they're playin' on the radio
Let's sway
while color lights up your face
Let's sway
sway through the crowd to an empty space
If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower
Let's dance for fear
your grace should fall
Let's dance for fear tonight is all
Let's sway you could look into my eyes
Let's sway under the moonlight,
this serious moonlight..........'
